For the last few years, some of the traffic handlers in California have been running a trivia game, conducted via the NTS. For a short while, tough copy got taken to somewhat of an extreme. Try NAME THE ICELANDIC VOLCANO WHOSE ASH CLOSED AIRPORTS IN EUROPE IN 2010. Or WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC

Thanks all. I think the answer to my question was the one about whether it is in course or fine tuning mode. 73 Kate K6HTN On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 7:12 PM, Kate Hutton katehut...@gmail.com wrote: I am often on the same frequency daily - 3.575 MHz, but the ATU does not give me exactly

2011-06-27 Thread Kate Hutton
I am often on the same frequency daily - 3.575 MHz, but the ATU does not give me exactly the same answer every night. On my wire antenna it always starts at 5.8:1 to 6.1:1 and ends up at 1.8:1 or 1.7:1. But sometimes, it gives me 1.0:1. The power shown on the display when transmitting always

I'm a rightie with my dits on the left. I also don't head copy very well. The first few times I had the opportunity to be NCS on the slow-speed net, I could not figure out how to write* everything *down, keep the traffic list, etc. also put the pen down to send then pick it back up again, etc.
