Make a phone call to the NH plant. Ask a product specialist for details.
May get shuffled to the PA plant.  Persisit.

 VECTRON but thought I might first ask the learned members of this list if 
 anyone has or knows any details before I plug it in to see what I get.

 The oscillator is marked 371Y383 which a search of VECTRONS returns nothing 
 but comparing to pictures and drawings of some older VECTRON units seems to 
 indicate it might be or is very similar to their old CO-351 product.

The amazing thing is that with todays all you can eat calling plans its no
big deal to chase after the information all across the country. :-)
Remember when you tended to think about the call across the country.

Indeed, I can well recall when a long distance phone call was a really big deal 
even if it was just calling several counties away let alone out of 
province/state or country.

Re: [time-nuts] VECTRON 371Y383 oscillator

2013-08-13 Thread Gerald Chafee
Hello Stan,

I am in Upstate NY and am heading to for a week's vacation at the Cape in
another 10 days.

I unfortunately let my ham license expire a while back but was looking at
renewing or get a new call ( old call - KA0DRP).

I was wondering how at the Cape, is the propagation in the HF bands a lot
better as you have the sandy soil that is probably damp which would make
for a good ground plane. I would think that a shack on the cape would be
ideal for DX.

Years ago I was in the Air force and stationed on a listening post near
Iraklion, Crete, Greece. The propagation that was unbelievable. I did not
have a way to transmit, but the reception was unbelievable. It was like
being in a tunnel to stations that were 1000 - 3000 miles away. We could
hear a 10 watt (U.S. military) HF transmitter in Korea at 20 meters in the
afternoon as if it were 10 miles away. We used to tune into the Citizens
Band frequencies and pick up U.S. Stations at various times.

I was wondering if the close proximity to the ocean has shown to be a boon
for long distance communications for you?

Thanks,

Jerry
