Hi Ellen,
I think I saw a mention you were on the third floor of your apartment
complex. Is that the top floor? Reason I ask is maybe you should think of
using a screwdriver antenna mounted on the roof. I have had excellent
performance using a screwdriver form my Jeep. Just a thought.

Hi Jim,
So far no troubles. Besides, other than my landlady, nobody else knows
I'm
operating a ham station (I don't want to deal with the nonsense I dealt
with
at the University of Wisconsin in the 80s, when the Cryogenics lab blamed
us
[W9YT- the ham club station] for every little glitch in their electronics
sensors [even when we weren't on the air they "just knew it was us"
causing
the problems]). So, I operate stealth.
An SB-200 for some oomph - hmmm that's a good idea. I wish I'd thought
about that. Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for one as a "just in case I
need
to use it", in the ususal places (swapfests, ePay, etc.). As of now it'll
be a work in progress (I hit a major cycle of bills, and money is tight at
the moment).
73,
Ellen - AF9J

Well Ellen, I have had that award for many years, back in the early 70s
it was. Most were nice about it and we cleared the problems. Others
were not so nice and I ignored them as much as possible.
If you are having troubles with a Scout then a 200 watt amp won't do
much more than widen the circle a bit. I say go for it and deal with
the troubles as they occur.
As for an amp, look for a Heath SB 200. Runs real well at the 150 watt
level and is Class B. They can be had for reasonable bucks and there is
no issue of having to find a chassis, case and all the parts.

But, I have concerns about amp usage, earning me the "Worked All
Neighbors" award for my apartment building.
