Yep, that would be me - guilty as charged. Being a Corntaster, who does it QRP, I spend a fair amount of time in 15 & higher. 15'vs been all or nothing. When it's open for me, it's open to FL, AZ, CA, OR, & WA, with TX occasionally thrown in for good measure. 20 is better during the day to the South for me. But, I'd prefer to do it below 14.200. The AM Window on 14.286, is too close for comfort to 14.275, where, Karol, VE7KFM, everybody's favorite Canadian nutcase hangs out. I fear that the QRM and jamming of him will eventually spread up to 14.290. > > I need to locate another screen resistor for the grid circuit in a > Viking II.

It'd be nice to hear some of those 'middle of the > day' carrier surprises on 75m. As long as my car won't be ready until 2ish or so, and I'm thawing out from my walk home, I'm going to start cleaning & testing the Viker II. I'm hoping (although with my luck, it's probably a longshot), I can have it on the air this weekend. 73, Ellen - AF9J ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
