There are many things in life I don't understand and this posting is certainly one of 'em. Why would having multiple rigs be detrimental to the evaluation of one of them? I would think the corollary

Having just received my May CQ magazine, I am delighted to report that using SO2R Orions in the 2004 CQ WW RTTY, I managed to take 1st place in the world listings for SOAB HP. In 1993 with SO2R FT100
Mark I apologise if I am repeating what has already been said but I saw your mail and having just returned from Dayton, I have a bunch of stuff still to catch up on. Anyway fwiw. Unless your Orion is

Thanks Barry, that's interesting though I'm unsure what Arc Fault on the 2000A actually means. Arc Fault in the 87A is determined by excessive instantaneous plate current and usually means a tube has
Duane You're right that Alpha worked with Acom on production of the 91b. It's also true that the relationship between Alpha and Acom floundered. I 'm pretty sure there will be alternative truths conc
Ah.....that sounds remarkably like what Alpha would report as a "T/R Fault". very Thank goodness. I'll sleep easy tonight :-)) and Apparently not a T/R fault then, albeit reported as one. The plot th
