For those interested a 5 page technical review of the Icom IC-7800 by Peter
Hart, G3SJX in the August 2004, RADCOM magazine by the RSGB which I received
yesterday.
The conclusions of the article are to quote:
The IC-7800 is a most impressive radio. It surpasses all other radios for

measurements on some of the tests of 5kHz offset and below were apparently
noise limited to -60db region.
With this in mind,
Wonder how many K2's, K1's, and KX-1's will be active as Bumblebee's this

I'll be operating KX-1 #37 off of the beach of the North Carolina Outer
Banks. Listen for me from Duck, NC. I'll be using a 28' piece of wire

Hi everyone,
Holy Smokes!!! I sure didn't foretell the staggering array of weapons I

I got my Novice in 1952 at the bottom of that cycle, and didn't even know

By 1957, I was in the Army in Alaska. Between the peak cycle conditions and
my KL7 call, it didn't seem like there was anything I

retrospect, it was a great time to join this hobby. For about 3 years,
10 meters was the only band I worked... I talked to people on every

I am planning to bike to Shoreline Lake, near the San francisco Bay, and
then operate /MM from a paddleboat with an SD-20 wire vertical with my
KX1. We are going for a dry run today (yes on boat, no on radio).
Anybody for a 15m/10m filter mod?

There's an outstanding feature article in the July 2004 issue of

is known about the causes and effects of coronal mass ejections, solar
