OK, it's acknowledged. There is also a rumor of a couple of IC-775's at 200 wattts out there. ....BUT.... There are a LOT more rigs in the 100W class out there, and last time I checked, my IC775 coul

John, You (and several others) found errors in my list. When I posted that list as the "original" novice freqs, I took them from a 1955 ARRL License manual. Turns out there had already been a number
The best "purpose-built" ham shack I have ever seen is that of Bill Tynan, W3XO. Bill may not be well known to HF contesters, but his call will ring a bell among VHF folks as the holder of 6-meter DX
'Scuse me Steve, but I want to work them, not *watch* them. Besides, no-one was talking about No-Code licensees, we were discussing coded Tech+ and Novices. Hans, K0HB/4ID ~~~ All good contesters st
