Would like to know should it were any chance to use the 4U1UN station,
during the IARU contest, or during the weekend before the contest. I'll
be visiting the NY area during those 2 weekends.
Thanks

First of all, let me apologize to KZ5WH (ex WB4FXQ) for my stupid comment.

Secondly, I obviously did not remember about the Canal Zone.  I'm wiping the egg
off my face and crawling back under my rock.

Finally, based on some of the comments I got from this post, I think a bad 
stand-up comedian would get less grief!

Subject: OMNI VI and 486 Computer
Message-ID: <199606180316.XAA28579@blue.ct.net>

A computer dummy needs help. I finally was able to make my computer talk to
my OMNI VI, but the OMNI doesn't talk back.

When I cahnge bands an the computer the Omni changes bands. However when I
change bands on the Omni, the computer doesn't change bands. I'm given to
understand that it should work both ways. 

What have I done wrong, or what have I failed to do correctly? My setup is a
486DX4-100 and the OMNI VI using CT. I am using the W1GEE interface cable
that connects the computer to the OMNI via the  1/8" SERIAL PORT connector
on the rear of the OMNI.  I have two COM ports, the first is occupied by a
mouse and the second is used for the radio. Prior to running CT I run the
COMTSR2 program to get that TSR installed. Then I go through the CT setup
and have used any baud rate from 1200 to 9600 with the same results, even
though the radio responds much faster at the 9600 baud rate. I get a message
at the bottom of the logging screen that "the radio is not echoing". This
could be the problem. How do I fix it?

How can I get the radio to change bands on the computer?

Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Howdy Folks;
 
K5NA is correct, as usual.  KZ5 licenses were
issued not by the FCC, but by the Office of the 
Commanding Officer, Caribbean, which was a joint 
Army, Navy, USAF command.  Licensing of private 
stations began in December, 1946, prior to which 
there were only a few military stations permitted.  
I know all this neat stuff because it is on the 
back of KZ5BB's QSL from 1957, in the form of a 
little history note.
 
I have a QSL for a KV4AA contact in the 1957 SS.
 -MY report is 589!  That is a CONTEST.
 
I have to go now, looking through this old stuff 
has me all mushed up.  Found one blank Walter Ashe 
card of KN2KUR from 1954, to answer Doctor B.  The 
other 99 are no doubt prominently displayed on shack 
walls all over this lovely land (If I recall, each 
new licensee got 100 of those cards free or at a very 
low price).
 
Apologies to KI4HN who I know, from similar experience
of my own, wants the first subject to go away.

Sorry guys, just realized my blunder in not completing the above
message!

The "was:" was supposed to be:
      
        send a message to:   dx-REQUEST@ve7tcp.ampr.org   with
        no subject and    SUBSCRIBE    as the text.

With all the discussion of 2 x 2 KZ5 callsigns, I sometimes wonder what kind
of "wishful thinker's" list I could have compiled on Sunday afternoons
during SS those many years ago.

For those who may not get it, the secret is in K7H.....

Hi Bernie...I worked KZ5OJ on 160m a few hours before the Canal reverted to
Panama control...then worked him just after as HP1XOJ, giving me TWO new
ones in one night from the same station!  That only happened on one other
occasion for me ...anyone remember who the other one was?...(and OJ did QSL
for both...KZ5 of course was quickly on the deleted list)...73/Jon AA1K>
