It would appear that the issuing authorities are using VU4AN as the prefix, as opposed to simply VU4. But what the hey, the important point is that you guys ARE getting the licenses and ARE getting proper permission to operate... personally, so long as it's a valid license issued by the VU

Jack is correct on the HN-31 duty cycle and power. And, I've just discovered that the FULL warranty on my HN-31 Cantenna (90 days) expired on 10 June 1970. Isn't that the way of things. vy 73, Nick W9UM Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a
