Used the ICE boxes and blew caps more than once. Replaced them with NQN filters from Array Solutions (the old style, all in one box version). Blew one cap, once. Had stubs in line, too. Barry W2UP __
Go for the 1500W amp. If you haven't seen it, watch the recent webinar by N6BV at the PVRC site. Dean addresses how 1 or 2 db can make a big difference. Barry W2UP ___________________________________

Some folks have operating smarts and experience, and others don't. For example, while operating multi and having the occasional idle op listening in to my run, it never ceases to amaze me how many co

I, too, recall a problem with contacting Idiom Press. While they make a fine product, their customer service is non-existent. Reminds me of the old F12, but worse. Barry W2UP On 10/18/2012 21:37, Mic

Yes, it really was ridiculous with some stations this weekend. They'd sign once every 5 minutes or so and when they did, several someones would drop their call in on top of the ID, not expecting a de
Aren't those trophies supposed to arrive 5 days after the contest ends? :.) Barry W2UP A posthumous thank you to the sponsor, and long time friend, Gene, W3ZZ. And a live "thanks" to John, K1AR, who
