Conditions were great, especially on the low bands, and we may see a few
more records fall.
The popularity of the Stew Perry Distance Challenge made things tough for
our contest on 160m. Many ops complained that some US stations refused to
send serial numbers for RAC contest participants even after our folks
obliged them with grid squares. We can coexist, can we not?
The address for contest entries has changed. Please send your entry by
31 January to: RAC Canada Winter Contest,
720 Belfast Road - Suite 217
Ottawa ON K1G 0Z5 CANADA.
Logs sent to the old address WILL be forwarded.
These claimed scores will appear in the March issue of The Canadian Amateur
(TCA). Full results will appear in the May issue of TCA. Copies
the the full results and write-up will be mailed to every entrant.
Thanks for participating.

Subject: TS940S AGC overshoot
Message-ID: <199701012155.WAA23679@arrakis.es>
I have observed and measured the AGC overshoot of my 940 in the AGC
FAST position.
It produces an annoying effect with statics and also when listening to fast
CW signals
which tend to sound "hollow". I wonder if anyone has tried a modification of
the
attack-time of the RX. Just asking as I want to avoid "re-inventing the wheel".
Please reply directly to me. I promise to post a summary.
Thanks in advance,
Juan EA5RS/AA7GO

I have to give a demo Thurs nite on contesting, and loaded CT, NA and more
into a notebook which runs Windows 95. I can't get any sound out of these
programs. Any ideas? Hopeless? TNx.

the forms downloaded and filled out. The calls have been
selected and the check is ready to go.
BUT what is the mailing address??????? PLEASE before I put

I ask for your help again. If possible before Thursday
