Re: [AMRadio] Classic exchange
Hi Jeff, Sorry you didn't get a better response. Most CX folks are friendlier than that. Check the CX website qsl.asti.com/CX There are a lot of SSB and AM QSOs reported in the newsletters. Please try again in the Sept/Oct CX. 73 Mac WQ8U Hillsborough, NC CX Newsletter Editor --- On Sun, 2/14/10, kj4...@aol.com kj4...@aol.com wrote: From: kj4...@aol.com kj4...@aol.com Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Classic exchange To: amradio@mailman.qth.net Date: Sunday, February 14, 2010, 3:09 PM heard some on 40 ssb and when I tried to call them they told me the frequency was in use. haha go figure. -Original Message- From: Todd Carpenter n9...@yahoo.com To: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sun, Feb 14, 2010 2:53 pm Subject: [AMRadio] Classic exchange Anyone having any luck?

RE: [AMRadio] Classic Exchange
I'm planning on getting in on that if I remember. I was playing with the monitor scope a little yesterday. I took the CRT out, and connected it to your monitorscope. At first I didn't see anything on it, but after fiddling with the knobs, I got a trace. It didn't seem as bright as yours, but maybe that's because it was sitting out in the open. At least I know the CRT works. I also have 300 volts and 600 volts where I'm supposed to, so at least that part of the power supply is good. I'll have to do some more investigating when I have time. -Original Message- From: Schichler, Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 8:31 AM To: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net Subject: [AMRadio] Classic Exchange Thought I would post it here in case anybody missed it.
