[CQ-Contest] Topic for Nov-Dec NCJ -Scrounging, Scheming and Stockpiling

[PaulKB8N at aol.com]

Here is the "Contesting on a Budget" topic for Nov-Dec NCJ:  Scrounging, 
Scheming and Stockpiling –  keeping that old piece of gear on the air.  Many of us 
have an older amplifier, transceiver, rotor, or accessory  that we just hate 
to part with.  What steps do you take to keep it working?  What types of spare 
parts to you  stockpile?  How do you inspect  and/or test your gear to head 
off problems before they occur.  Tell us about you most cherished  treasure and 
what you do to keep it going!   
I will be on a trip to Montreal this next week, and I may not be  able to 
respond to your inputs immediately.  Please try to get them to me  by Monday, 
Sept 24th, and I'll try to get as much done from there as much  as possible. 
Thanks in advance! 
73,  Paul, K5AF
