It appears that the `Canadian prefix-epedemic` has spread to
good ol` Britain .
Once upon a time, a prefix was supposed to identify where you were
operating from.
Good old days !

I forgot to include in my ARRL result posting mention of the end. Specifcally
the last minute. While reading XE1/AA6RX's comments it occured to me,
starting from "failed to awaken" (been there, done that & _we've_ all got the
T-shirt). My last minute was on 20, with four Qs - two of which were DE & VT.
Wished I had one of 7RM's mult bells to hit for that double...

I'm seeing dupes again. Could it be that folks are getting a little impatient
in seeing their posts echo off the reflector & post 'em again before giving
adequate time for the original to find its way to TGV? No comments, please.
Just think about it!

For someone born in a big country (I'd reckon N6AA is a native Yank), Dick
appears to be better travelled than most & further benefits from our wonderful
mind-expanding hobby of amateur radio & radiosport in particular. However, it
is no suprise that he doesn't understand the workings of the United Kingdom,
upon which & its Empire the sun once did not set.
Though bits of the UK enjoy varying degrees of independence & identity,
including that all-important DXCC recognition, special event calls have for
some time have been of a common prefix - GB. I'm sure all of you US licensees
know that's the only UK prefix you're allowed to handle 3rd party traffic with
in the UK (or at least it was before I defected), AA5BT included.
I'll spare Derek my advanced pom-bashing mood tonight (Dick should know
about that by now). Before I start something, let me try to kill it with an
acknowledgement that nobody's got it _all_ right yet!

score rich. Now about ten. I suspect that 10 was much better Sunday than

Saturday. I was getting very frustrated listening to my friend (and Prexy

imagine in my wildest dreams were really there. I kept jumping between 10
and 15. At one point 9A1A called me on 15 and asked me to work them on
28030. I couldn't hear a peep from them, and they are generally the first
if not only scatter I hear from Eur on ten. All of a sudden I heard IQ4A
rise out of nowhere. With that the band filled with Eur on scatter. At one
time IT9AF was really S9 on the meter of my 935 (with preamp turned on). I
know that the window extended some distance inland, because I heard K9UWA
calling EI7M. The window is very defined and moves quickly. The big secret
is to be there as soon as it opens.

With low power and a rotatable KLM 40 mtr dipole at 60
ft, 40 was a blast. Had a tremendous run into Eur Sunday evening. Didn't
hear much that I couldn't work as long as I was willing to tough out
pileups. In reference to the problems you are experiencing with vswr on
you 4 el KLM, wonder if it appears to possibly be one of the feed log
cells opening or something? I have a problem with my KT34XA on 15. While
it normally has a dip in VSWR in the cw band, and one up in the fone band,
the one at the low end disappered, while the one in the fone band is close
to 1:1. I suspect that I have an open on one of the 15 meter capacitor
tube straps. Unfortunately, the cw element isn't the one that can be
reached from the tower. Have you had any experience with this sort of
thing with the 4 el 40mtr KLM? 73 de Larry K7SV in Virginia -

-173 per hour, I signed my call after EVERY QSO, and corrected and confirmed
every broken callsign. I'm sure a non-sprinter could have done 180, but I'm
happy with 173. First time I've ever had to tune the edges of MY pileup to
pick up at least one callsign. Even at 170 per hour, I worked 1 Q on the
2nd radio.
-20 meters sucks and I don't know how to find the "good" mults there. Maybe
N2AA can help me if I make nice with him.
