-
- Installing a TS50 in 1 1990 Legacy Subaru s/wagon, I discovered the N/B is
- pretty good on pulse noise, but worthless on hash (used an IC-740 previously
- with an excellent variable N/B, got rid of 90% of all noise no problem, hardly
- any artifacts)
-
- Anyone had any experience with eliminating alternator hash and microprocessor
- noise on Subaru Legacy? Any ideas would be very much appreciated!
-
- Thanks, 73, Yves (Al) W1EOX

- In a previous article, fmdavis@bnr.ca (Fred M. Davis) says:
-
- >The story behind the "VA" prefix: In order to be eligible for a
- >two-letter suffix in Canada, you have to be an amateur for at least
- >ten years, at which time you send a letter to DOC requesting a call
- >sign change to two-letter suffix. In Ontario (3-land) there was a

- >on the waiting list a two-letter suffix (I thought it was nice too),
- >*and* on top of that, attempt to match the suffix to the amateurs initials.
- >I got a letter from DOC in October last year stating that VA3FD was
- >available to me, if I wanted it. Naturally I said yes. I also sent
- >a letter to the regional office stating what a good idea it was and
- >thanking them for making the opportunity available.
- >
- I wonder if I am alone in lamenting Industry Canadas choice of offering
- Victor Alpha? I find that on the air, there is constant confusion between
- VA and VE when it is said quickly. Invariably, the receiving station must
- ask for the phonetic spelling because they sound so much alike.
-
- I think it is a nice option to be able to have your initials and that would
- clearly make it worth going to a VA call. But the logic of switching from a
- VE3*** call to a VA3** non-initial call seems quite transparent to me because
- it is obvious that it is post-VE3ZZZ.
-
- Now, if only I can get all those special station prefixes sorted out...:)
