I also use an Icom PS-35 power supply when traveling. Mine has been
used from A3, J7, KC6, KH6, P2, S7, V6, and 3D2. I've never had any
trouble with it.
I modified it so that I could change it from 110 to 220 volts without
soldering and I added a ground wire to the input connection. Other
than that it is a stock unit.
I also mounted the RF filter in a separate box with some large MOVs.
I've talked to Icom reps at hamfests, trying to convince them that a
version in a proper box with an EIA power connector would be nice, but
they have told me it would make it weigh much much more and is not
technically feasible (in other words, here's some BS, go away, don't
bother me).
The small German import looks nice but as long as the PS-35 continues
to run I'm not in the market for anything else.

How many noticed the huge decrease in Novice Roundup participants? They
had a chart in QST for the past several years, and I am not sure but I
think there were *just over 30?* novice logs submitted.
I always try to get on the Novice Bands when visiting V31DX, back the
keyer off a little and work the new guys and create a little excitement
for them too, usually answering there CQ...

QRZ Would like to announce a new email registry for hams around
the world. This registry will provide a common Callsign/Email
Address database for hams with access to the internet to use
from around the world.
With our new WWW page, you can input your e-mail address directly
into the QRZ Callsign Database, where it will be published on both
CDROM and on the internet. With our new e-mail database update
page, you can add your own email-address and see it immediately
update the online database!
I encourage everyone to check in and add their e-mail address
to the database. It just takes a second, and you only fill in
your callsign and e-mail address - it's that simple.
The URL is:
http://www.qrz/com/email.html
The QRZ e-mail registry will be available online via WWW 24 hours per
day and will update and maintain the database in all future versions
of the QRZ! Ham Radio CDROM.
Thanks and 73,

Thought the following tongue-in-cheek piece explained a lot.
- - - - - - - - -
With apologies to Dilbert and Darwin, it's obvious that ham radio has
three distinct classes of people, each on its own evolutionary destiny
track:
1) Hard core contesters who will evolve into godlike
non-corporeal beings who rule the RF universe (except for those
who work only phone contests, or use the Cluster).
2) Contester wannabes who try to pass as knowledgeable but secretly
lurk and copy 2 or 3 exchanges to get the call and serial number right
before attempting their own exchange. This group will gravitate
toward jobs as high school principals, LAN managers, and operators of
pet crematoriums. Eventually they will become extinct.
3) Non-contesters who will grow tails, sit in zoos, and fling smelly
objects at tourists, while chanting "Please QSY - you're interfering with
our net down 10KC."

This first species already has a name. They are known as "CW Snobs".

The third category also has a name. They are variously called
"sideband operators" and "DXers". The best of this breed tends to
gravitate toward 14230, which they then vigorously defend as their
own sacred ground. The rest end up in the vicinity of 14195, which
they try to keep open in case somebody interesting (to them) might some
day show up there.

What about those of us that gravitate towards 14230 during the contest?
