Hello Jukka, I was tipped on the Orion by Rein, PA0R who uses it for 3 years now. Mine never had any trouble; not during 48hrs contesting, nor when it was kept switched on for several weeks in a row
Boy , do us europeans always have such difficulties with such simple plain FACTS.... We are talking about a "game within a hobby" for crying out loud. If you don't like the rules discuss them with th
So very much agree with all below. The unassisted category (The Last of the Mohanicans) is held hostage by those just wanting to debate the term "unassisted". By littering the 'redefine the rules' de
