I'm confused...
Should I send my answer direct to Trey or post it on the list???

Subject: SSB Frequency Limits in ZF?
Message-ID: <19960926191141.AAA12980@LOCALNAME>
This coming Tuesday, I'm taking off for a full month in ZF8 and have plans
for working the BIG ONE next weekend (CQP). It does occur to me, though,
that as long as I'm going to be down there, perhaps I might as well take
N6AA's advice from last year and S&P a few friends during CQWW. The only
problem is that I've always done CW from ZF and never paid any attention to
what the SSB frequency ranges are. There are several people on the
reflector who have operated from ZF, so surely somebody must know what the
limits are. I know 160 is 1800-18025, 1875-1925, and 1975-2000, but that
won't do me any good because I'm not planning on stringing up a 160 antenna.
So, can anybody tell me the sideband ranges on 80-10? Mni tks in advance.

Looked like my Sprint log when it got to N6TR the first time. No wonder he
wasn't happy....

Message-ID: <01BBABA7.BA916700@downing-1.intelenet.net>
Is there a list if DX Packetcluster IP addresses that I can telnet into? Are
any on the Web? Please send me your list of DX Packetclusters that are
available on the net and I'll compile them for anyone who cares to know.
Thanks to all who helped out with my Heil / FT-1000mp question. FYI Heil
has a policy of replacing the 16 ohm Pro-Set speakers with 200 ohm units
free of charge just for the asking. If you bought your Pro Set this year it's
likely to be a 200 ohm unit. While this doesn't completely fix the low AF gain
problem with the FT-1000mp, it goes a long way. And it's a much better fix
than the Yaesu supplied (and warranty busting) replacement of a surface
mount resistor deep in the box.
The Cuba Libre Contest Club will NOT be zipping off to Belize this fall for the
CQWW SSB test to activate our usual bomber V31DX signal.
We're going somewhere else.......
cheers,

Subject: Amplifier advice needed
Message-ID: <10732.9609261950@earl.encore.com>
I'm shopping for an amplifier for contest use 2-3 times a year
(i.e. away from home station). 600-800 watts and switchable 110/220
operation are desirable. I recently found a Dentron GLA-1000
advertised on the net for $350 including new tubes. Have those of you
who have used this amp been satisfied? Is $350 a fair price? Can you
suggest alternatives?
Regards,
Pete

Wow, my first ever contest plaque. Top Oceana Score.
Beautiful, looks as if it is dark oak or walnut, laser
engraved plus WRTC heavy metal medallion hanging on
a "virtual" blue and white ribbon, and an engraved
plate about score and call.. Thank you also to Carl Cook, AI6V,
who per the label on the back donated the prize.
Wonder when I will ever win something else in a contest, since this
was a wire and tribander limited, sort of affair? That's what I use.
73, Jim, AH6NB, or KH7??
