- The best (reasobably sized) dual band antenna is the antenna that comes
- with the Standard dual band radios. They can be purchased separately from a
- dealer and sometimes be found at Hamfests (I paid $10 for mine) The
- factory antenna on the 580 really stinks on two meters (it is okay on 440)
- and I would recommend that it be replaced even if you CAN find it. I would
- guess that the Standard antenna improves performance by at least 10 db if
- not 20 on 2m.
-
- The Larsen is also very good and probably easier to find.

- Sorry, Scott, but you've got it backwards. The treaty between the US
- and Canada specifies that the district goes AFTER the call, not before
- (the opposite of how the rest of the world does it). So the legalities
- in this case are reversed from normal procedure. See Appendix 4 in the
- ARRL's "FCC Rule Book" for the full text of the US/Canada treaty.

-
- There are 10 callsign districts in the US, so it would be easier if you
- let us know which states you'll be in than to list all the states in
- each district. <g>
-
- One good hint is to listen to the repeaters in the area you're in;
- you'll hear a predominance of a certain number. Also, the repeater ID
- will give you a clue what district you're in, though this isn't always
- reliable since US hams don't have to change their callsign when they
- move anymore.

- Had a interesting thought... If all VHF and Sat Qs dont count towards
- your total number of transmitters what category is a VHF only field day
- in? 0A, 0B, etc??? For FD I was VHF only from 8300 FT Virginia Peak
- here in DM09 near Reno, NV.
-
- Using SSB/CW I worked 128 Qs on 50, 144, and 432 Mhz. Managed 2 Sat Qs
- through AO21 when it was on the horizon. 6M was FANTASTIC Sunday A.M.
- with double hop Es to W3 land at time 20 - 40 DB over S9!. Before then I
- needed WV as a new state and now have worked 10 WV stations. Rumor has
- it that 2M Es was happening out in the midwest about the same time.
-
- Local club group never checked 10M! With all the Es Sunday they would
- have raked in the Qs. Just proves the point to NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING!
-
- Look for me next weekend from the rare grid of DM19 in the CQ WW VHF WPX
- contest. 73's ... Tim, NC7K... sk

- We ran 6A without too many problems. We had 3 SSB stations running into G5RV's
- and 3 CW stations running into verticals. We worked a 12A somewhere. I can't

- To convert from C to F multiply the C temperature time 1.8 and add 32.
- So that would be:
-
- (C*1.8)+32=F
-
- (F-32)/1.8=C
-
- Those should work.

- No. This should be:
- 9c-40=5(F-40)
- This is not algebraicly equivalent.
