[CQ-Contest] NCJ Inputs - Contesting on a Budget Jan-Feb 2008

[PaulKB8N at aol.com]

Gang,
 
Here.'s  the topic for the next Contesting on a Budget column:
 
SERIOUS CONTEST RADIOS, FUN TOYS OR BOTH?
 
"They’re inexpensive, small, versatile and fun, but are those  portable 
HF/VHF/UHF radios (such as the IC-706, IC-7000, FT-857, etc) serious  contest 
radios?  Tell me about your  experiences with this type of radio, what the 
limitations are and how you’ve  overcome them, and the types of contest configurations 
you’ve used them  in."
 
This ought to be an interesting topic, due to the popularity  of these 
radios.  I look forward to hearing from your experiences in  DXpeditions as well as 
from your home stations with these  rigs.
 
Please provide your input by Sunday, November 10th.   Thanks in advance!
 
73,
 
Paul, K5AF
