Hi Jim, So far no troubles. Besides, other than my landlady, nobody else knows I'm operating a ham station (I don't want to deal with the nonsense I dealt with at the University of Wisconsin in the 80s, when the Cryogenics lab blamed us [W9YT- the ham club station] for every little glitch in their electronics sensors [even when we weren't on the air they "just knew it was us" causing the problems]). So, I operate stealth.
An SB-200 for some oomph - hmmm that's a good idea. I wish I'd thought about that. Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for one as a "just in case I need to use it", in the ususal places (swapfests, ePay, etc.). As of now it'll be a work in progress (I hit a major cycle of bills, and money is tight at the moment). 73, Ellen - AF9J ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Wilhite" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" <amradio@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 11:07 AM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Frequency Question > Well Ellen, I have had that award for many years, back in the early 70s > it was.
