9 hours of fun and extremely high noise
lots of guys wouldn't move with me: guess they didn't need rare MD
394/144=56.7K
Icom 736, no cw filters, yet; 100w
KT34A @ 70', 1000' horizontal loop at 65'
couldn't find New England mults on any band!! Even NY was kinda
rare here this time. Station in transition: won't get it fixed up til
after Sept VHF test. UHF test score (simultaneous contest) also
awful...

Subject: FT-1000 Front-End PIN Diodes
Hi All,
I asked this question of the reflectors a couple of months back but
got no concrete answers. CQWW is now rapidly approaching so it's
getting critical!
We have an FT1000 which had some of its front-end PIN diodes smoked. Getting
the standard Japanese part is proving very difficult over here. The
rig currently has BA379s in - we haven't had time to do a measurement
of what effect that has on system performamce.
Can anyone shed any light on alternative PINs for the front-end (with
similar or better performance than the originals) which may be easier
to obtain over here.
73,
Andy Cook, G4PIQ.

Reminds me of when K7JA staged a photo for the Sweepstakes results with
him operating the contest from a swimming pool, with hand-mic in hand
and radio sitting on the edge of the pool. A zillion guys wrote the
ARRL complaining about the danger of electrocution, blah blah blah.

Message-ID: <199508071401.HAA18120@mailhost.primenet.com>
Not to discourage others from operating WAE, but I'm considering trying
WAE CW even if on and off. Seems I saw a complete set of rules on the
Internet somewhere. Would someone please send me (or post) a complete
set of rules? I'm a bit confused on QTCs, etc. Thanks.
