Hi, during next ARRL DX CW me and other hams will be active with special

Hope to see you, QSL to my call.

Subject: Qsl info for VU7APR
Message-ID: <9602041425.AA16960 at net.isa.it>
I apologize if this one in not the right forum for DXing and QSLing, but few
days ago there was a message requesting help for VU7APR address.
Unfortunately I miss that message, so I am forced to send help to all the forum.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I worked VU7NRO on march 26,1986. I received regularly qsl direct, but on
that card there was also the call VU7APR. So, I mean that it would be good
sending request for VU7APR to the same address of VU7NRO.

Subject: good ol' boys on 75m
The good ol' boys on 75 meters were in rare form last night during SSB
sprint. Maybe cause we went to 75 early- but I have never heard such fowl
languaage on the ham bands. The guys on 3850 really let loose. I only
wish the FCC could have heard it. These guys are certainly the worst
examples of radio amatuers concievable- how could they have possibly
gotten licenses? The guys on 3835 always get on during contests for the
sole purpose of harrassing contesters- anyone within 3 khz of them gets
deliberately and maliciously interferred with. This is illegal and should
should be dealt with by legal means.
I sure hate it that general class operaters are prevented from
participating in contests on 75 meters because of the immature, self
centered, and illegal actions of a few jerks who have no business
operating a radio. Life would be better for all if these 75 meter jammers
were removed the ham (or any other) bands.
Guess this gets a little steam off my chest. I do wonder what we can do
about these guys. We can't ignore them- they chase us down to curse us
and QRM us. Fighting with them is counter productive. No one should be
subjected to the language and meanness.
Thanks for letting me vent-

I'm interested in a new DSP, primarily for CONTEST and low band use. =
Has anyone tried these two new products? If so, please give me your =

Subject: Tower rating question
Message-ID: <Pine.SUN.3.91.960204155333.4989B-100000 at linet01>
Hi all...
I just lost my Aluma 60'motorized crank-up in the recent windstorms
here on
Long Island. Fortunately, I am covered by my homeowners insurance.
Naturally, I am looking to replace the whole thing (antennas gone too),
and am considering a Tri-ex LM470E motorized crank-up, which should be
better able to hold the antennas than the aluminum job, or so I think. And
that leads to my question.
The advertising material from Tri-ex states the tower will handle 30sf
at 50mph, 15sf at 70mph. I called the engineer, and he says that the
50mph rating is NOT a rating, just a comparison for my "information," and
that the 70mph rating is what he stands behind. Although quite a friendly
and knowledgeable soul, I can't actually get him to commit to anything.
Does anyone here have any experience with this tower? I am planning to
put up another KLM KT34-XA, and try a KLM 40M-4 (4el 40) instead of my
destroyed 40-2CD. Total windload is 21sf, total antenna wt is 156 lbs.
The popular US Tower HDX572 is also rated 30sf at 50mph, but NOT rated
at 70mph, and just a bit too expensive. I wonder how they compare.
Any insight here would be most appreciated. Perhaps you could tell me
of some other successful similar installations that would give me some
perspective. My contest station is off
the air, waiting for the insurance check to arrive,and I'm anxious to make
final decisions so that I can begin to get back on track.
Thanks & 73 de JEFF WA2SYN

Why not give them a little publicity? Start spreading their call
letters around, e-mail them to the FCC and to the ARRL people
who are watch the government regulators. The ARRL ought
to be able to get some thing done via the FCC. These guys
should be pursued and sent letters by the FCC with cautions
and suitable threats; then if they don't change their ways,
the FCC can do their usual Notification of Action, license and
operating privilege cancellation. Why let it go on and on?
73, Jim, AH6NB
PS: If the FCC isn't monitoring anymore, suggest you make
audio recordings of what is going on, being sure to get the
names they call one another by on "their" frequency, if
possible, as I suppose they don't bother to use their
call signs, or do they*. Send the recordings along with
the log data of date, time, freq, etc to the ARRL, and
maybe even to Congressmen who are friendly to
amateur radio, the ARRL can give you names.
