Re: [DX-NEWS] Crash
I received many e-mails regarding my crashing tower and all were appreciated. I have printed them all out and shall use them for study. I have a good location in mind but I'm not sure my XYL will approve the new location. On a lighter side she sent an e-mail to the local TV station about the affair. This morning there was a helicopter overhead with a TV crew in the driveway. It made the noon news. My son-in-law is supposed to be over later to cut it up with his power saw (he uses it to cut rebar). I also want to render the rest of the tower useless as so no one will want to use it. With the tower almost 40 years old I wouldn't feel good with someone wanting to use it and possibly failing. 73 de John N6JM (off air for a while) --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/
[DX-NEWS] Crash!
That's my antenna system. I looked out the window this morning after a windy night and noticed the beam in the front driveway. Near the first joint in my old Rohn 6 50-foot tower two of the legs had sheered from the torsion of about 35 years. The tower was used at another QTH for 3 years prior to here, so the material itself was pushing 40 years! The TH6DXX was about 30 years. Fortunately, no other damage. A small tree near the tower had help cushion the fall. For years I have been procrastinating on a new installation. So you might say this is a blessing! So, I need suggestions and/or opinions. The replacement tower must be a crank-up and self supporting. I'm too old to climb and there is really no room for down-guys. What is the opinion of you DXers and your choice here? As for the beam, it must be multi-band and include the new WARC bands. I would like to have a 40 meter feature also, but that isn't that important. I'm leaning at MFJ Hy-Gain, but what about Force 12? Any comments? So, it looks like my DXing for a while now will be writing a DX column only. No need to tie up the reflector and make Steve mad.

There hasn't been a 60 cent postage rate for some time now, so don't know where your envelope has been. Rate is now 80 cents for an ounce. However, you should be looking into registered mail which Abubaker recommends. It may be expensive but it is almost a 100 percent bet it will get there and you will have that QSL card that you need!

Re: [DXR] Value of IRCs
Tom, I don't think it matters what it says on an IRC. It is exchangable for postage (one unit of airmail). Probably the stamps on the IRC is that it was an older IRC the p.o. still had and was bringing it up to the new rate. But, this has no effect on the redemption value to you. Sometimes I think some of these postal employees, no matter where they work, just don't bother to look it up and go by their opinion. Several times when I purchased some IRCs they just handed them to me without stamping them. So, in other words, what you have said here, you are correct! 73 de John N6JM Tom Wylie wrote: > > At the risk of opening up this old chestnut I thought I would tell you of a > conversation I have today with my local postmaster. > > I was changing some IRCs for stamps.

I just hope that some over eager DXers chase away anyone not on a DXpedition (scheduled or not) that calls CQ on the frequency.

Re: [DXR] FW: 20 meter DX window
I think if the DX fraternity tries to establish a DX window on 20 meters we are asking for trouble. Not everyone on the band is a DXer. This is the same thing at 14.260 where the IOTA gang hangs out. There are some misinformed Europeans who think the frequency belongs to IOTA island stations and everyone else should QSY. I think we are going to find the same with 14.195. Just my opinion. 73 de John N6JM Bruce Makas wrote: > > Below is a note that I sent to Wayne and his response.

There were "WPX" calls assigned by Popular Electronics some years ago for those who wanted a call, but this was just an option.

This self-adhesive issue has been an argument between the XYL and myself a few times. She claims that you can still peal them off once applied. With that in mind there would be an incentive of some postal type in need of cash to do so. Don't say they don't as the XYL is convinced it has happened to her. So what do? Use only lickum' types or use the new ones and personally see the postal clerk hand stamp them. Requires standing in line for this service. As for me I like using these new self-adhesive stamps and never had any problems. 73 de John N6JM Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-news To post a message, DX items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives available at http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/ This is the DXR reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
