Bob, Good choice the 30 - 40. 80 metrs CW - there is life there - that was the band that I started out on with crystal control. Nice choice too. There are QRP hang outs there. Kris KM2KM ____________
Ok, there have been a few suggestions in the mic being the problem. If you do not have an alternative mic, then carefully use an insulated jumper wire to touch the two pins together that are the PTT
Another take on the need. I have seen dust covers and they do look neat, but my lineup is always changing and there is nothing like a nice bath towel to cover the Delta II and Centaur plus tuner. The
I'm curious Guys, just how many pounds do these bugs weigh? Do you have to reinforce the operating table? Kris KM2KM Briançon, France _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing li
The shack photos are interesting all right. I liked the flat braid ground straps into an antenna switch cabinet. BUT what is that neat little paddle under OZ1BII's Eagle? I can't make out the manufac
Peg, Many thanks for the "heads up" The Palm website is a whole new world of neat keying approaches. I do not have the Eage, but I do have the Argo't V (It looks almost exactly like the Eagle :>) 73,

Good morning Mike, Those guidelines are a great way to sober up on a Saturday morning! Many thanks - I have never used a spark gap type gizmo. Very interesting reading - I need more ground rods! I ne
Mike, The beauty of this list is that all of this great information can be shared by the effort of folks in the know - like you. As I said - now I need more ground rods :>) 73, Kris KM2KM Briançon, F
Hands off my old mitters! No phasing out, they are already out of phase. I promise not to use the spark gap during sports events :>) Kris KM2KM _______________________________________________ TenTec

Steve, Tank you for bringing this up. A couple of months ago teher was a thread here about the right cable - I immediately picked up one cable and then was distracted. I haven't the foggiest idea but
Carl, now I am sure that you are the person who gave the reference for the cables - and many thanks for the addresses and the software - we are in business again! 73, ________________________________
Well, Guys and Gals (Actually I did hear some gals out there), On the original intent - prepared for emergencies - it has become a production, and I do not intend to pontificate :>) Just my emergency
Stephen, Do not give up on field day - go with the family, do the BBQ, bring a comfortable chair and just help out in the fresh air. Or pick the odd band w/o much action and enjoy a rag chew. I took
I came to know Ten-Tec through a good friend KV1A (SK). He had Ten-Tec gear and spoke highly of the rigs. He also received my signals from overseas an patched me into the family. My rig was (I still
