| WF6C | MSH | THE STATION HAS ONE CHAIR: ONE MICROPHONE AND ONE COMPUTER. IT IS CAPABLE OF RAPID BAND CHANGES BUT WRITELOG AND DX DOUBLER ENSURE THAT ONLY ONE TRANSCEIVER CAN TRANSMIT AT A TIME. THERE WERE NEVER TWO OPERATORS LISTENING OR TRANSMITTING AT THE SAME TIME. |
| WM5R | SO LP ALL | THE ANTENNA SYSTEM I HAVE AT HOME LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED. IN THEORY: IT IS A 40 METER DIPOLE AND A 20 METER DIPOLE SHARING A COMMON FEEDPOINT JUST A LITTLE ABOVE MY ROOF (MAYBE 25' - 30' ABOVE GROUND) BUT IN PRACTICE THE ANTENNA IS ONLY VAGUELY RE |
| WO8CC | SA HP ALL | SUNDAY WAS CERTAINLY A SURPRISE. LAST HOUR ON 40 WAS GREAT. THANKS TO N8NR FOR THE USE OF THE CALL. |
