I need to have a Yaesu FT-757GX repaired, as the RF-amp is going out of it.
Where is the best-cheapest-fastest-most reliable place to have it repaired?
Should I just send it back to Yaesu?
Sure hate not having a back-up radio with CQWW just around the corner...
Thanks a bunch, guys, you are a WEALTH of info to us new contesters...

Two questions on the HV2:
After you add the 160 meter coil for the contest
does it still tune 80/40 or do you have to run out and refeed
the antenna??
Do you really use that little coil at the base to ground?

Hi all,
I think it shows bad taste to go outside the SSB portion. The only thing
that this will
accomplish is to cause problems for ourselves. I know K1AR wrote an article
on this
subject in CQ magazine about a year back stating that the contest committes
could not=20
discualify stations going down on the CW portion on 40M while in SSB
contest. The
argument was that they could not be 100% sure it was the station heard
being there
(could be a pirate) I felt this was wrong and I still think it is wrong.
I have several
times noted that it has been rare DX-location contesters moving down there
which=20
ofcourse attract a whole lot of other stations. It would be quite easy for
the committes=20
to (with a taperecorder) record the stations being there.
It would then be quite easy to verify the main offenders and discualify
them. After all
if a station is running more than 100 QSO's an hour a few minutes of
recording will give=20
quite an amount of evidence. Ofcourse it would be more difficult to catch
the guys making one
contact with the DX. Which is ofcourse just as bad. But atleast that would
very rapidly=20
reduce the amount of stations going down there. So then the problem would go
away.
It doesn=B4t matter that there is no rule against going below in every
countries license All are bound=20
to follow the IARU Band-plans even if some countries have looser rules than
others themselves.
If a station claim he can work below without problem then who can he
work!??? He would incourage=20
others to break their rules.
As I have stated before Amateur radio is an International hobby with
International requirements.
Those are the guidlines we must abide by or things wont work.
The ham bands can only work for us if we follow the band-plans=20
War or not I urge the contest committes especially for CQWW to discualify
offenders!
Not doing so is to encourage wrong doings. Why discualify a station with 5 %
dupes if a contester
can make 20% of his QSO=B4s totally illegal outside the band plan.

Dear friends,
I intend to purchase a voice memory keyer for the upcoming contests and I am
thinking about the MFJ-432 Voice Memory Keyer, the reason is: I can use it with
my TS850 or my FT757GXII, either one.
However I concern about the product's quality. I'd like to receive some notes
about this MFJ product.
73's,
and cu on the CQWW (SSB and CW)

Hello all,
Congratulations to the CQP organizers for a great event. Though
N9IQV's YL voice failed to snare all 58 counties, we had a good time.
Don't forget the Illinois QSO Party coming up on *Sunday* October
20. (1800Z Oct 20-0200Z Oct 21; only 8 hours). Note that CQ Magazine
totally bombed the dates for CQP, PA and ILL.... Several Illinois mobiles
will be trying to maximize your multiplier count.

All you have to do is send you're state and QSO serial number. Give it a
try, the PA QSO party is really fun but not as fun as the CQP.
