W0UN told the story at Dayton of watching a thunderstorm march toward his
station across the wide open spaces of Colorado, the strikes discontinue
when they reached his QTH, then pick up again on the other side, going
away. All the hardware apparently is able to dissipate the charge before
it becomes lightning.
I have occasionally observed a static tic-tic-tic at the end of a coax at
my place, with no lightning seemingly around.

Subject: contest rotator summary
Message-ID: <Pine.3.89.9506290726.A26818-0100000@netcom20>
In response to my query about service and parts for Yaesu and Create
rotators, I got a number of replies re Create and a few re Yaesu. The
good news is that all comments on support from those who had used it were
favorable for both brands. Create is much more popular, apparently, and
a number of people said, in essence, "They never break, so who cares?"
Those who had ordered parts from EDCO in VA said that response had been
very good. A grand total of two respondents had used Yaesu rotor
service, but both had good things to say. I talked with Yaesu myself,
and they swear up and down that they have a full complement of repair
parts and the necessary technicians to repair all of their rotators.
The only quibble, and it's maybe a small one, is that they do not sell
the complete rotors and control boxes separately.
Since the Yaesu 1000 appears to be about $200 less than the equivalent
Create, I think my way is clear ...
Thanks all for your comments!

Hi Dave,

Hmmm, How about SM3 for CQWW?

Why not Europe? That's a triple from the US as well...

No problems... Almost everybody has left this part of the countryside
for the more metropolitan areas, so lots of empty houses practically for
free! Maybe it's the mosquitos and the cold wx that turns everybody off?
>The other couple are divers so if it isn't an island it has to be near the
coast.
Again, no problems. We have a big lake here which is currently (June 29)
ice-free. In November... Well, what the heck, we can supply a hole in the
ice.
BTW, we have an island here too! It's reachable by car, even during the
"less-winterish-season".
Welcome!

Subject: Which Radio?
Message-ID: <05950629155050/0006701840PJ3EM@MCIMAIL.COM>
Hello out there in contest land...
I'm thinking about getting a new HF radio before the fall contest season,
but don't know what to get. What do y'all think? Assume spending in the
$2,000-ish range, preferably a new radio. I don't even know what's out
there: FT990, TS850, Omni?, Icom7??. What's the latest word on rigs in
that class as far as how they behave in a contest environment? Who's got
the best filters? Best gimmicks? What would _you_ get & why? Etc.
I appreciate the input!
