I need some info about the TS 850/840, the TS 440 or 450, and the TS 940 and 950 and comparisons between them all. What is the price range for these rigs, both used and new? I think that the 900 series rigs have more bells + whistles than I really need, but I am not too sure. My needs are primarily: - A very high quality general coverage rig, including quality audio output - All mode operation - filtering and tuning features, like split VFOs, slope tuning, etc. - memories for frequently used channels - DSP, if possible - price range under $1500 is preferred, and new is preferred to used - Kenwood is my preferred brand name, but Icom is a possibility. I might be willing to spend more if the performance justifies it. Anyone with ANY info on the current rigs on the market, PLEASE email me. If you know of an independant rating service, similar to Consumer Reports, which rates the various rigs on the market, this would also be appreciated. Thanks a lot, in advance, for any info.

The DX NewLetter reports that a DXpedition by Tom, IK8EVE, from Jerba Island using the call sign 3V8TM will start April 24. ADDED NOTE: Paul, WB4LFM, had a telephone conversation with DK2OC and he has told him that DK2WV has just received the QSL cards (from the printer) for his 3V8W operation last summer. 4U9ITU, I.T.U. HQ. Tony, IK1QBT, wants "Prefix Hunters" to take note. This special call sign will be used May 20-22th from ITU Headquarters station in Geneva. The operators will be an Italian team consisting of Tony/IK1QBT (operating CW), Frank/IK1HLG and Mauro/IK1CJO (both operating SSB and RTTY). Activity will be on all bands 160-10 meter, including the WARC bands. A special QSL will be printed. QSL to I1YRL, Luc Glarey, Via S. Martino 11, 10091 Alpignano (TO), Italy. ADDED NOTE: Luc, I1YRL, is also to be active during the month May using the same call, but Luc was not mentioned as an operator in Tony's correspondence. 9H, MALTA. A large group of Dutch operators will be active from Sliema, June 24th until July 4th. During their DXpedition/Holiday they plan to be active on 70 cm, 2 meters, 6 meters and 10-80 meters (including the WARC bands). Operations will be on CW/SSB and they also plan some AO-13 activity. Look for the following operators: Frits/PA0BEA/9H3IE, Wim/PA3BIZ/9H3ON, Hank/PA0PRT/9H3IB, Ada/PA3DNW/9H3KF, Frank/PE1KNL/9H3QH, Egbert/PA3ETB/9H3KD, Jan/PA0JWK/9H3QD, Nick/PA0PAN/9H3KE, (the following have not received their callsigns yet) John/PB0AES, Peter/PE1NZA and Teun/PA0TPM. QSL to operators CBA. ET, ETHIOPIA. OH2VZ is now signing ET3VZ and was heard this past weekend on 21033 kHz at 1325z. At this time no other information is available on this station. QSL via OH2VZ. OJ0, MARKET REEF. Look for Steve/OJ0/AC6T, Lars/OH0MB, Seppo/OJ0/OH1VR, Touko/OJ0/OH6RM and Eric/OJ0/OH2BBF from May 14-17th (weather permitting, transportation via a helicopter). The group plans to be active on all bands, including 6 meters, using CW/SSB and some RTTY. QSL to home calls (OH0MB is one of the three valid "old style" Market Reef callsigns, this one belonging to OH0RJ). SV/A MOUNT ATHOS. Apollo, SV2ASP/A, was heard on 18148 kHz between 1400 and 1445z. Very "FEW" stations were calling him. At the present, the DXAC is looking at a motion by N2SS to re-examine to see whether or not Mt. Athos mets the present DXCC criteria in effect. This vote was to take place in March, but due to problems in the wording of the question on the March ballot, a re-vote in scheduled for sometime in May. T32, EAST KIRIBATI. Tada, JA1WPX, will be active as T32WP from May 4-8th. Activity will be on all bands, CW/SSB, but special attention will be on 30 and 17 meters CW. QSL via CBA. TK, CORSICA. Seven Italian operators will be active from here May 19-23. Activities are planned for an all band operation (160-10 meters, including the WARC bands) on CW and SSB. This well equipped operation will operate on the usual DX frequencies with an emphasis on the WARC and the lower bands. Look for the following stations: SSB - TK/I4ULA/P, TK/IK4HAL/P, TK/IK4NZD/P and TK/IK4GLV/P. CW - TK/I4VJC/P, TK/IK4CIE/P and TK/IK4IDW/P. A full colored QSL with photos are available by sending your QSLs to the operator that you have worked (via the Bureau or to their CBA). VK9. LORD HOWE ISLAND. VK2PS reports that Tony, VK9LA, is a long time resident of the island and can be found on 7084 kHz at 1130z with the "Pacific RIM 40 DX Group". VK2PS also reports that the Callbooks have many mistakes and very old information regarding VK9's and VK0's; and VK9LA's address is one of them. QSL VK9LA to: A.J. (Tony) Blasl, c/o Post Office, Lord Howe Island, NSW 2898 - Australia. VP9, BERMUDA. Bill, WB1BRE, ARRL New England Division Director, will be signing WB1BRE/VP9 on the "birds" from May 13 through May 26. Operations will be on AO-13 and AO-10 when available. Best operation with his portable setup occurs just before and after Mode S at apogee. Downlink frequencies will be between 145.910 and 145.930. Operation will be limited to SSB. When not on satellite, Bill's low-band operations will be on 20, 15, and 10 meters SSB, primarily in the lower portion of the General bands and in the Novice portion of 10 meters. He will be using an IC-735 with an R5 vertical, and operations will be dependent on band and beach conditions. QSL to WB1BRE. XU, KAMPUCHEA. Laci, HA0HW, will be active from Phnom Phen as XU0HW, from May 8-20th. Activity is to be on CW/SSB and on all bands (160-10 meters, including the WARC bands). Laci will be joined by Sanyi, HA7VK, who is presebtly signing XU7VK, to activate a new IOTA. Both will travel to Rong Island in the Gulf of Thailand to be active for about 5 days using the callsign XU9HA. QSL all three call signs to: Laci Szabo, P.O. Box 24, H-4151 Puspokladany, Hungary. ZS8, MARION ISLAND. Christie, ZS8MI, is still on and will be leaving in about 2 weeks. Frequencies and times are not particularly good for the U.S., but he may still be workable. Check 28354 kHz at 1100Z, 18162 kHz at 1145z and 14130 kHz around 0600Z. DXAC VOTES. The DXAC has unanimously voted to recommend to the ARRL Awards Committee the deletion of Walvis Bay (ZS9) and the Penguin Islands (ZS0,1) as of March 1, 1994. The vote for consideration to add single-band, endorsable DXCC awards and endorsements for the 5BDXCC award for 15, 20, and 30 meters was defeated (2 votes in favor and 13 votes against, with 1 abstention). The vote to add an Honor Roll endorsement for the 10 meter DXCC award was also defeated (15 against and 1 vote in favor). More details are available in ARRL DX Bulletins 22 (ARLD022). ADDED NOTE: The DXAC Chairman (W4VQ) has added the question of new country status for Pratas Island (BV9) back on the DXAC agenda. The reason is the Chinese Taipei Amateur Radio League (CTARL) is now in contact with the DXAC and is providing the answers to Committee questions. A vote on the question of DXCC country status for Pratas has not been scheduled at this time. NEW QSL ROUTE. There has been a change in the QSL route for TI9CF and TI9JJP. This is due to the large amount of pilfering going on in the mail service of Costa Rica. QSL these to stations to: Office Box Acct 321 CR, 3900 NW 79th Avenue - Suite 564, Miami, FL 33166. The mail will be delivered by courier service to Costa Rica. SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDITOR: There will be no bulletin next week (May 2).

This article, and other material I've seen, pooh-pooh the idea of a low SWR. (Maybe I should preface this by saying I'm not a 1:1 SWR fanatic, though. :-) These articles say that as long as you have low-loss cable, most of the energy bouncing back and forth between the transmitter and the antenna ends up going out the antenna anyway. My question is: since the transmitter is matched to the line, why does the reflected energy coming from the antenna get reflected again at the transmitter? Why isn't it all (or mostly) absorbed in the finals? Any comments? -- Ed Haymore | AA6EJ ed@byu.edu | Live long and prosper. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Apr 94 17:42:28 EDT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!usc!howland.reston.ans.net!news.intercon.com!news.pipeline.com!malgudi.oar.net!hypnos!voxbox!jgrubs@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Test To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Mike.Volckmann@f24.n114.z1.fidonet.org (Mike Volckmann) writes: > This is a test.

The proceeds, more than 150,000, dollar(s) will now fund an endowment, the income from which will be used to further the strengthening of international friendship through DXing. ARRL Executive Vice President David Sumner, K1ZZ, said ''During his lifetime, W6KG made great personal contributions to international friendship through Amateur Radio in his visits to more than 150 countries, with his wife Iris Colvin, W6QL. Through the Colvin Award, the League will proudly continue those contributions.'' Announcement of the Colvin Fund was made at the International DX Convention in Visalia, California, on April 16. Details of the administration of the endowment have not yet been worked out. NNNN /EX ------------------------------ Date: (null) From: (null) SB PROP ARL ARLP016 ARLP016 Propagation de KT7H Solar activity was up a bit over the past week, with average flux about nine points higher. Conditions were severely disturbed on the 17th, with auroral activity visible across the northern United States. Geomagnetic activity should stay mostly normal until the beginning of May, when recurring coronal holes rotate into view. Flux should rise to around 105 on May 3 or 4, and then fall back to current levels by the middle of the month. K8MLV points out an error in last week's ARLP015 when it was reported that solar flux at the beginning of April was the lowest since 1987. Rick reports that as recently as September of last year the flux was 70, almost three points lower than the value mentioned last week. Sunspot Numbers from April 14 through 20 were 28, 29, 26, 38, 38, 52 and 41, with a mean of 36. 10.7 cm flux was 79.4, 80.1, 81.7, 81.8, 84.2, 85.4 and 86.2, with a mean of 82.7. The projection for this week is from Los Angeles, California to Paraguay. 80 meters looks good from 0200 to 1000z, peaking around 0430 to 0930. Check 40 meters from 0130 to 1100, with the best period from 0230 to 1000. 30 meters should be open from 0030 to 1130, peaking around 0230 to 1000. 20 meters should be good from 2200 to 0800, with the best signals after darkness covers both ends of the path. 17 meters should be open from 1400 to 0630, with the best signals toward the end of the period. 15 meters should be good from 1600 to 0500. 10 and 12 meters may be open on some days. Check 12 meters from 1730 to 0230 and 10 meters around 2100 to 2130. NNNN /EX ------------------------------ End of Info-Hams Digest V94 #454 ******************************
