Hi Jim

   I do not join with this opening . Very disappoint. 
Because I have to QRT by 10/27 08z and I have to go to our bussiness until 23:45z.
  I see Jim, N6IG's dx spot  on our cluster network before leave from my house.

I worked some W6 stasions at 00z 10/27. Only get the multi.
 Want to join with this BIG OPENING this morning........................

I'd like to understand this message, perhaps my english is not good enough! Contests and forests? I really don't understand. Is it a forest help reflector?

Subject: AL80B probs in CQWW
Message-ID: <199610280359.BAA14567 at ax.ibase.br>

Hi all,

Two hours before the end of CQWW, my amplifier damaged. My first try with my all brand new AL80B. It runs cool but.....

Now, the grid current meter goes below zero and the plate curent meter goes to 250ma. The tubes starts to become red and there is no RF going out. It happens in a intermitent way, in other words the amp works fine and suddenly the problem comes up.

It was a bad experience to stay barefoot and loose good multipliers but I really had fun in my second CQWW SSB. 

Next time I'll not save my money and will buy something better with one KW (the maximum power allowed in PY land).

73,

Carlos - PY1CAS

Hear, hear.  

For what it's worth..  Whenever I heard a station go "QRZ?" without giving
their call, I'd go ahead and call them.  About 75% of the time, they'd come
back to me.  And about 75% of those times, they were a dupe.  I find it VERY
difficult to believe the time they saved by not giving calls was greater
than the time they wasted working duplicates...

Subject: 20 Meter Split?
Message-ID: <32744A6C.340D at indy.net>

Was surprised last weekend to hear a prominent W7 land station working split on 
20 meters during the CQ WW SSB "CONTEST".  At first I thought, how strange, but 
when I heard him work a zone 22 it started me thinking...  Might the fact that 
QRM can be so intense on 20 meters warrant split frequency SSB operation?  
Split frequency operation is already practiced on 40m & 75m, might 20m be next? 
 Afterall, I can't think of any band where "splitting 'em up" on CW (with 
justifying pile-up intensity) is commonly practiced.

Will summarize for reflector if replies are sent to me, otherwise - thanks for 
the cyberwidth Trey!
