Thanks Tim. 

 
Will un-install the other one.

From emails from other topband  users . Think my virus program may be
trying to tell me that the original email has been modified. 


 
I have malware protection,  and ESET NOD32 anti virus.  Ever hear
anything negative about either one ?
 
Noticed it - first email after NOD32 installation. Think that will be
my first un-install.

Hi Bruce,

I looked at my copies of your last two messages (from the "?" post) and
I don't see them. I do see extraneous blank spaces here and there -
probably where you question marks appear for you. Computers with
different fonts and especially with different 'formatting' specs (user
configurable) do all sorts of nasty things like that. It may be your
computer and it might be the server software at any one of the servers
along the way. 

My best to you getting it sorted.

Topband: RUSSIAN 160 METER CONTEST

[r7lv]

   Dear friends,

RUSSIAN 160 METER CONTEST will be held from 20.00 to 24.00 UTC, on the
16th December 2016.

The Rules of the Contest are at 
http://www.radio.ru/cq/contest/rule-results/index2012.shtml

Current Rules were approximated with RDXC Rules, and any RDXC software may be 
used in this contest.

In previous years, various ideas were discussed, both negative and positive, 
but finally
positive ideas predominated, - even from those who are against Rules changes.
Operators from almost 55 Russian oblasts participated in the last Contest.

Logs  shall  be sent within 15 days after the Contest completion (till
December 31, 2016, inclusive).

Welcome to participate in RUSSIAN 160 METER CONTEST !


73! Vlad/R7LV

Topband: Question marks

[K1FZ-Bruce]

 
On  topband,  someone is adding many question marks to my last two postings.  
What does that accomplish ?

Hi Nick


I would say grounded both ends, don't need to be connected to the antenna
itself, right.

So, is the ground wire just left "floating", JC?    No electrical 
connection to the antenna itself?


Thanks and 73,
