- Subject: QST November 94 issue
-
- Anyone has QST for November?
- I have been told I am in the Upfront section with my daughter, and wonder
- which pictures have been published. Look for a picture of a bay, operating
- posiution with military vertical on the left and solar cells in the
- background, my daughter Naomi holding a sea snake (great food!) or a picture
- of the island we went on.
- Operation was in the north west coast of Greece during June Field day.
- Thanks for any help.

- Likewise, I liked Paul's article.
-
- As to concluding that dBm (either A dBm or some quantity expressed
- in dBms) is not absolute, this simply is an expression of an opinion
- that the term ABSOLUTE QUANTITY has no meaning whatever.
-
- This may be interesting philosphy, but it is not useful engineering.

- Hi Mike,
-
- Thanks for pointing out the error. I think its supposed to
- be an FT-211 but I am not exactly sure. I need to consult the list
- again before I post the correct one. BTW, what is the FT-223?
-
- I am also interested in any cheap 2M HT's. Be glad if you
- can point me in the direction of any. Once again, sorry for the error.
