hi silver

I report about MFJ-432.
First, it is practical sufficiently in the very much natural timbre.
The body has a connector for the message.
I made small remote box using it.
It is the switch of the repeat, a volume in the repeat interval in addition to the button of the message to it.
, Then, it put the volume of the input level.
It is possible for the dry battery of 9v to work the body in addition to 12v$B!<(Bdc.
However, as for it, only the 24-hour degree comes by the running.
The microphone connector can choose yaesu, icom, kenwood by the janper setting inside.
The problem is in the repeat switch.
It stops after a message is once transmitted already when cutting a repeat switch during transmission of the message.
There is a way of putting a short-blank message in this and making this kill-switch, too, but it doesn't practicality w
hitch  need  2-action, which lets out a short-circuiting blank which cuts a switch of the repeat of reception's breakin
g off among very short time.
It thinks that the fundamental reorganization around the timer IC is necessary.
Doesn't it know a concrete improvement plan about whom it is about this?

Please to direct me if there is an other question

Hi again,

I have received some comments. Some good some bad.

In several countries it has been stated for years that there are exclusive
CW areas on the band and others that are shared=20
between CW and SSB so it is illegal to go outside. Some people have answered
that it only is a gentlemans agreement.
Well not everywhere. Until about 3 years ago this was law !  in Sweden!

Some people argue that it is a gentlements agreement. So be it in many
places but what does that mean? Does this mean that we should go ahead as we
please. Ok so do but then who needs the agreement it will be chaos anyway.

Then we should stop mixing the words gentlemen and DXers/Contesters among
the same line of words. Since many have considered the DXers and Contesters
the Elite of the hobby and on which the hobby has it=B4s foundation if we
can=B4t keep
an agreement why should all the newcomers who have no clue about the history
of ham radio do so.

Since my basic view is that DXers and contesters are gentlemen I assume they
abide by the agreements that IARU have worked hard for us to achieve. And
how can we as DXers and contesters put pressure on the newcomers with the
new modes like packet if they see that WE are breaking our bandplans. Why
should then they not!

Some people argue that it is only when the major contests are on that it
happens so it is not so bad anyway. This
I call a fools argument. Once we start doing stupid things like that it will
only get worse. If it is one weekend today
 it will be 10 tomorrow.  If you can break the rules in a contest you will
do it outside the contest aswell. Why not start aSSB  knet on 7033, you can
tell people that the SSB band is full.

People saying that it is not a problem are not realizing s that fx in Europe
we have a narrow band on 40m. And that=20
a lot of newcomers are staying up in the upper end of the CW portion so they
can practice their skills. Well why don=B4t they just move down to the
DX-portion instead. Who can then blaim them for jumping on a weak rare DX
that runs at high speed whom=20
he can't hear with his poor dipole after all you are up there working the
SSB contest anyway.

If the contest comittee=B4s can't discualify people for going outside the
Bandplans then there is one rule too little!
Going outside the bandplans will only help the people against amateur radio
to point fingers and among the hams it will
only cause more angry people on the bands against contests. If we keep this
trend up why not include the CB band among the contest bands then we have a
little more space. It could be used as the extension of 40 for those who so
desperatly want to be outside the bandplan.

I, too, view the developments that Doug reported as positive news. Dave,
AA0RS/G3SZA, has a very fine reputation out here in Colorado. In addition to
his professional skills, he is a very serious low band DXer and contester
who, I believe, was the second person to receive 160 WAZ.

They have broken ground on a new plant in Longmont, Colo. and begun hiring
additional employees. There will most likely be some customer service
problems as they go through the transition from ETO to Alpha/Power but, once
completed, we customers will be better off.

Single op, High Power, Ventura Co. (N6VR's QTH)

CW:  667
SSB: 1086

1753 x 57 = 237,861


Comments:

missed VY1JA - he didn't call me and I couldn't find him ....

first time with 2 radio effort.  Single-op distracted.
I may have broken even.  But, it clearly would have been
more productive if 15 m was worth anything.

Is someone going to post a score summary from CQP?
