This tube is an improved design over the 3CX1200A7. The 3CX1200A7 is not recommended by EIMAC for new designs. This is due to a tendency to parasitics and is partially caused by the tube filament structure and the high feedthru capacitance. Any amplifier builders out there can comment ?

The Full Kp Indices for 19 JAN 94 are: 3+ 5- 5o 3o 4- 2o 3o 3- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY -------------------- Solar activity was at very low levels. Region 7654 (N08E18) continues to be the largest and most active Region on the disk. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a slight potential for an M class flare from Region 7654 (N08E18). STD: Magnetic shear near the northern end of the delta within Region 7654 has remained relatively unchanged over the last 24 hours. Although there is an outside chance for another major flare from this region, nothing significant is likely to be observed unless new flux emerges to perturb the current relatively stable configuration. This is further supported by the gradually declining background x-ray levels together with the relatively low frequency of small-scale flare activity and lack of spot growth. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to active levels. STD: The field may become slightly disturbed on 22 January due to a negative polarity transequatorial coronal hole which is approximately one day beyond the central meridan. Periods of minor to major storming will be possible over the high and polar latitudes. Event probabilities 21 jan-23 jan Class M 10/05/05 Class X 05/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green Geomagnetic activity probabilities 21 jan-23 jan A. Middle Latitudes Active 40/45/15 Minor Storm 15/10/05 Major-Severe Storm 01/01/01 B. High Latitudes Active 40/40/10 Minor Storm 15/15/05 Major-Severe Storm 01/01/01 HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all regions. Subsiding levels of geomagnetic activity prompted improved conditions over the high and polar latitude paths. Conditions should continue near-normal with only intermittent minor signal degradation for transauroral night-sector circuits. Signals are expected to become increasingly disturbed on 22 January if the anticipated disturbance from the well placed coronal hole noted above arrives. Poor to occasionally very poor propagation could occassionally exist over the higher latitude paths during that period. Otherwise, conditions should continue near-normal.

Sylvia Pentel, N0MRW, applied in January 1991 for a zoning variance for a 68-foot crank-up tower from the city of Mendota Heights. At the time, she was using a roof-mounted vertical which, she was unaware, violated the city's zoning rules. The city denied her application for a tower but granted a special-use permit to allow her to keep the vertical. Pentel sued the city in US district court, saying that its ordinance was preempted by federal law PRB-1, which recognizes the needs of both municipalities and amateurs, and which requires a ''reasonable accommodation'' of the needs of amateurs. The district court found in favor of the city, and Pentel appealed. The US Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit said that the FCC in PRB-1 ''was attempting to strike a balance'' between the interests of municipalities and amateurs, and exhorted the parties to the suit to work together to ''arrive at a satisfactory solution.'' The court of appeals said that its decision does not mean that the city must necessarily grant Pentel's application for a tower as it stands, but rather that the city must make a reasonable accommodation for her interests. The court said that granting a special-use permit for Pentel's vertical was not an accommodation. Pentel's lawyer was John B. Bellows Jr, K0QBE, with assistance from ARRL General Counsel Christopher Imlay, N3AKD. NNNN /EX ------------------------------ Date: (null) From: (null) -- Marc B.

The New Jersey proposal, released last month, exempted Amateur Radio stations but left a door open for future regulation of amateurs. ARRL General Counsel Chris Imlay, N3AKD, and Northern New Jersey Section Manager Rich Moseson, NW2L, both spoke at the hearing on behalf of the more than 5,000 ARRL members in New Jersey. The League representatives argued that only the FCC had the power to license and regulate radio transmitters, and that applying the proposed regulations to amateurs would effectively preclude Amateur Radio communications in New Jersey. A number of other ARRL officials and interested amateurs also were present at the hearing, and a specific exemption was requested for radio amateurs. The NJ DEPE has extended the deadline for comments on the proposal until February 22. More information is in February QST.

Of course. They are also required to own a spectrum analyzer, or to know where to get access to one. And how to use it. And of course, our no-code techs understand clearly that they can't trust a manufacturer to produce a design that won't get them in trouble.
