[UK-CONTEST] VHF NFD mishaps

[Tim Hugill]

John,

While I was lying in a pool of water on a windswept hilltop, taking a
generator carb to bits (under instruction), minutes before the 6m Trophy
contest, I was thinking "Didn't Chelmsford have this same problem last year
?".

We had a varied selection of Field Day Failures, none of which I will
discuss right now !

Hopefully Chris's problem is not related to his 70MHz kit, so he can
continue to set new goals from N.Yorks.
On the other hand ...    8¬)

Sorry to hear about this. Many of these devices are supposed to be really
rugged and almost idiot proof. If you don't mind telling us how you think it
failed, maybe we can all learn from your experience.

I promise I won't gloat.

But I could be lying !

Subject: [UK-CONTEST] VHF NFD mishap - need BLF574!

Apologies if this is slightly off-topic (but it is contest-related)..

Due to "mishap" on VHF NFD, has anyone on the list successfully purchased a
BLF574 or an MRF6VP2600H direct from China? Please contact me by email if
you have any advice where I can best get one from. Prices range from $70
through to $200+ and I would prefer to buy from a company that has at least
one satisfied UK customer.
