Gents, If I understand correctly, single band is the same as 2018. You get the same credit, but you are competing against all band stations. No advantage. 73, Drew K3PA -- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 1 Jan

Joe, I don't recommend that approach for FD. The problem is, it will protect the front end, BUT, if signals are so strong that it kicks in, you are putting a diode in line with that big RX signal. It

The CD parties were awesome, the most contest fun I ever had. Not only do I miss them, I miss having a dedicated CD (communication department) as a central ARRL concept. And that's No Joking Matter.
