Jack is correct on the HN-31 duty cycle and power. And, I've just discovered that the FULL warranty on my HN-31 "Cantenna" (90 days) expired on 10 June 1970. Isn't that the way of things. vy 73, Nick W9UM Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a me

According to the manual the HN-31 is rated at 1kw. Duty cycle is 10 minutes using transformer oil & about 2 minutes using mineral oil Check with your local power company. If you go to the facility that handles the transformers you can usually get a fill up at no charge. At 09:22 AM 4/4/2006

As I understand the situation (and I could be wrong!), since the control operator is not in the same DXCC entity as the remote controlled station, the RC station would not be considered acceptable for DXCC purposes. Therefore, it would not be valid for DXCC for anyone. Or am I wrong folks? 73

My one wish in this regard is that if they ever re-vamp the DXCC rules, some form of credit could go to the operator(s) for the entity worked, as a courtesy. I'd hate to miss a once-in-a-lifetime chance to travel to a remote entity just because I don't have them on any band. -Original Me
