Sep "DX Issue" has precious little about DX.
Re Astron: Many people have very good results with them, there are many on mountain tops in the Cactus Intertie system that have run for decades. My experience isn't so good, maybe just bad luck, but I've given up on them although I've never noticed an audible hum. Then again, I'm fairly deaf which can sometimes be an asset. :-)
Power supplies are those things that just sit there and hold down the desk or floor against gravity outages and I'm looking for reliability. My station is currently powered by a Yaesu 1030A that came with the FT-847 close to 15 years ago. It produces 14.3 V all the time, regardless of load, and basically, that's all it does [we haven't had a gravity outage in that time].

The smaller format issues had technical content in them that made them worth saving. The more recent issues are so lacking in content that after about 20 minutes of looking for something worthwhile, into the trash they go. Saves on shelf space. Wes N7WS
