the best for contests) with Flying Horse callbook on the hard drive for fast
look-ups.

A happy ending story (for a change?):
Before ten meter contest this season, I had bad powerline noise and could
see it on the band scope (pana-adapter). Called Fla. Power and Light,
got a guy on phone don't know what electricity is; got his supervisor;
explained my test equipment, told my sad up-coming contest story, and
added the magic words "messing up my tv"! The former story touched his
heart, but the tv comment got him moving.
Power co. man arrived two days later with little beam antenna and sniffer
rcvr. Reported poles in trouble.
Day before contest, truck arrives and REPLACES all insulators, big fuse
thing, and re-does all splices in line from highway to house. WOW.
Result: very happy ham, happy customer, and maybe a big win in 10m contest!

This would be opposed to the EMC that I am forced to use... The supervisor
suggested during one trip to my place that the noise could be coming from
airplanes that fly over the house.
Another piece of motivation to buy a place in the mountains!

I assume the remodelling is an effort to expand the ham shack to become more
competitive, but come on, you've got to be realistic, you NEED the kitchen
to keep up your strength for the 48 hour efforts. Maybe you can go without
meals for the NAQP but the upcomming ARRL DX tests will prove that you
definitely need regular meals. ................ Well, on second
thought, you can always order pizza delivery. .......... I say go for
it, sacrifice the kitchen to make room for a two rig setup! The hollering
will stop when the attorney serves the divorce papers. ;-)

Subject: Dayton Room Needed
Message-ID: <199601211709.KAA05268 at lynx.csn.net>
Speaking of divorces(as I was in my spoof of KF9YH's remodelling project),
the combination of my own recent divorce, the passing of my mother, the
death of my septic system, and a few other calamities over the last few
months contributed to my own failure to make hotel reservations for Dayton
this year. The subsequent panic phone calls have not resulted in finding a
room yet. If anyone has an extra room (for two, plus a third person on a
roll-away for one night) --preferably at Stouffer's, but at this point,
within the state might be appropriate boundary condition-- please let me
know ASAP.
Thanks for any help.
