Older RCS-4 used open-face relays which are more of a problem for relay bounce.
Newer RCS-4 use sealed small-signal relays. Getting one of the newer units may

November QST came in a few days ago, and the summary of rules in there says
"1.830-1.835 MHz should be used for intercontinental contacts only."
Dropping that rule was long overdue so glad to see it stated in the rules

It peaked on my long 45-degree

Today JH1HDT called in at 1051z, three minutes before my sunrise, for our
