OK, here's one for those of you who still maintain your collections of CQ, QST, and so forth... Longer ago than I care to think about, back in my Novice days, I found an article in an old CQ magazine for a "peanut whistle" 1 tube crystal controlled CW QRP transmitter. The tube was a 117N7GT or

Thanks to Joe W4TV, it looks like the 117N7GT article I was looking for is "The Peanut Whistle", August 1965, CQ." Any chance anyone would have a copy of this one lying around? Naturally, I'll cover reproduction & mailing costs of the article! 73, ron wn3vaw Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FA

Well, now you know what its like for us guys to work Kure or Kermadec or Banaba. Nobody likes in the perfect QTH for the whole world. I guess thats what makes it interesting.. Try living at 56 degrees north! - now thats a challenge! Like half way up Hudson's bay or south Alaska! T

VU4AN/VU3CHE was 5/0 on 17 meter SSB today at 1150 EST in SE Va. He was workable by the numbers but spent very short time on any number and the "window" closed at 1240 EST. I didn't get through today but will hang in there. 73 & Gud DX to all, Russ W4UBC - Original Message - From: "WC7N

Be glad it´s only 56 degs, I´m at 66 degs and I´ll tell you it´s no kids game. However VU4 is easy from here, even so I had to spend 45 minutes calling a VU4 on 30m before I got him, go figure why since my antenna on 30 is decent and I tried every trick in the book. 73 Jim SM2EKM ---
