[amsat-bb] WA5KBH
Report from EL29 MD Anderson Hospital WA5KBH George made it thru surgery. He is short the left kidney, adrenal glands and a lymphoid cluster. He is awake and doing well. Story is the Doctors and Nurses had to knock him out to get his Arrow and HT out of the OR. 73, Jack KF5LOQ Sent from my iPad On Apr 23, 2012, at 2:00 PM, amsat-bb-requ...@amsat.org wrote: > Send AMSAT-BB mailing list submissions to >amsat-bb@amsat.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >http://amsat.org/mailman/listinfo/amsat-bb > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to >amsat-bb-requ...@amsat.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at >amsat-bb-ow...@amsat.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of AMSAT-BB digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

As for the 847 on HF, I think there is a audio clip on the internet comparing the 847 and TenTec Corsair II receivers. I have both of these rigs and the difference is very clear. Listening to my 847 on HF is not a pleasurable experience as the receiver is very noisy. For this reason, my old Corsair II does all HF work at least until I get a new HF rig. Eham reviews on the Corsair attest to its great receiver. As for satellite operations, the 847 is a tough and a great rig. Mine has been running since the beginnings of AO-40 with no problems. It has some engineering mistakes like the AF gain not being linear along with other quirks but I've gotten my investment back many times over. If you've got the cash, I would read the QST review on the 9100 and make an executive decision.
