MANY users of JT modes on VHF - not just on EME, but almost ALL *serious* users - are also using external preamps, power amplifiers and relatively slow coaxial relays which do require an external sequencer. That may be less true at 50MHz, where HF and VHF/UHF techniques overlap, but the use of external sequencers is far too important to be swept away. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
