proves to be 
quite difficult to achieve., All you have to do is work 15 NJDXA members on any band 
and in any 
mode within a period of one year. Submit log entries to Steve Adell, KF2TI for 
verification. You can 
earn a full color certificate suitable for framing. Logs should be sent to KF2TI, c/o

Re: [DXR] R-7 Antenna

2001-07-22 Thread Scott Hotchkiss

I say to anyone out there on the west coast that needs a good antenna on 40m
to snap it up.

I used a blown-up R-7 and added some aluminum to make a full-size 1/4 wave
vertical with 2 wire counterpoise radials.  I put it up on a 20ft
telescoping pole. It is a bomb!  Fed with coax work the whole band no
problem without a tuner. Or you can shorten it some by using the coil from
the last trap (17m) and cap hat.  After Hurricane Floyd, I used it fed with
450 ohm ladderline and balanced tuner and worked the world on every band
(but 160m). Sure, it's not a beam but it can be easily set-up at a campsite
on the beach somewhere or for after the storm when you need to get on the
air.

If it was within driving distance, I'd go for it.

[DXR] VP9/AI5P QSLs

2001-07-22 Thread Richard Harris

All qsls directly received are now in the mail.  No buro cards yet but
they will be
answered and returned via buro in a timely manner. Thanks for the many
contacts
especially on the WARC bands.

Anyone have the appropriate US Postal Regulation to quote my local P.O.
on
redeeming IRCs? They probably haven't seen anyone trying to redeem one
before

[DXR] R-7 Antenna

2001-07-22 Thread marinxs

Posted an inquiry several weeks ago and everyone most helpful although
opinions varied and strongly held (what else would you expect from
hams!)

Bottom line I replaced it over the weekend and it is down and on the
ground

Thought I would see if anyone wants it for use or parts for FREE

You should be willing to pick it up

Re: [DXR] 9U acceptance for DXCC

2001-07-22 Thread Dimensional Traveler

I believe that the following operations were counters:

9U5AV September 1980 (not sure)
4U9U  around October 1994
9U5D  Feb. 2000 (not sure)

Best bet would be to contact Bill Moore at the DXCC
Desk of the ARRL.  He has published the list of
"good/valid" 9U-operations a number of times.  Bill
must know them by heart by now, since the question
comes-up at least every six months! :-)
