- The instructions say to bridge the dotted line with a jumper when
- using balanced feeders. Leave it unbridged and hook the wire to 'wire'
- when using just an, ahem, 'wire.'

- TTARS, The Tennessee Technological Univeristy Amateur Radio
- Society is proud to announce a Special Events station. The
- station will be tested on Friday April 15 and be on the air
- Saturday April 16 and Sunday April 17. The purpose of the
- special events station is to demonstrate the effectiveness
- of low power HF communications on both SSB and CW.
-
- The event will take place in remote sections of Fall Creek
- Falls state park in Tennessee. We will be testing out the
- new MFJ 20 meters SSB travel radio, some new QRP CW
- transceivers and hopefully some other new toys.
-
- For a nice certificate send a 9X12 SASE with QSL card and
- contact number to:
-
- TTARS
- Tennessee Tech. U.
- Box 5262
- Cookeville, TN 38505
-
-
- *probably start afternoon of Friday April 15.

- =======================================================
-
- * we will operate on whichever band has best propogation. We
- will attempt to stay with the above frequencies as much as
- possible. The way conditions have been lately, 20 meters
- will most likely be our main backup band.

- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- Will it power the HTX-202? I'd get a DEFINITE answer first on the
- voltage range the HTX-202 accepts; don't count on the HT surviving
- excessive voltage.
-
- If it's not too much, and it doesn't have too much ripple, then you
- can probably use the adapter FOR RECEIVE ONLY. The 1A output can't
- be enough for transmitting; I expect you will get a truly AWFUL HUM
- when you try it. But as long as you don't exceed the current
- capacity of the adapter (rated 1 A), it may well be nicely regulated
- DC and hum-free for receiving.
