Hi all, Does anyone have an EC8010 that they would like to sell? I believe it's also called an 8556, a 9-pin miniature UHF triode used as a buffer in the Hewlett-Packard 608F signal generator. Thanks much. 73, Ed - AA8TV __ Our Main Web

A number of the ARRL contests and others no longer even use signal reports as part of the exchange and I think you will more contests doing away with them. The RST report is not part of the multiplier so most of us don't care what the signal report is. If I'm using a paper log, and a signal report

There's growing sentiment in the contesting community, which I support, to delete RS(T) as part of any contest exchange for the reasons stated in this and related threads.RS(T) is not part of the VHF contest exchanges. A "real" RST in any QSO, contest or otherwise, is not really meaningful un
