OT but it is a shame that one cannot readily discern location from the callsign, anymore. I kept my K8MWA the ten years I lived in CA, but upgraded when I passed the advanced exam in 1982 (at FCC in Anchorage). They assigned me AL7EB. This had me confused all the time with KL7EB, a popular

I was a victim of the early regs as I moved a lot (K1DCK, WA6YCF, WB2PVW). My present call, KE6US, was a routine sequential assignment when I got the Advanced. I was thrilled with it, then a week later I got another call assignment by mistake, KE6VD. I was less than thrilled. I called the FCC

Hi John, Yeah I was sending CQ de ks6pd/7 for about 10 min before my email and 5 min after. Looked myself up on rbn and didn't see myself either. Maybe it means I need to stick with wire antennas. Thought I'd bring this one up and give it a test. Maybe later this evening will provide better

Dave, I had the power set to 5 watts and the kx3 meter showed 5 watts rf going out. I just think that this antenna isn't very efficient with the coil so maybe not much RF is actually going out. the practice mode you're speaking of, are you referring when you turn the power down to 0.0? Definitely
