[1000mp] Sold Mark-V, bought Field

[Hans Remeeus]

Hello Tom,

Very strange about the e-mail. It could be something (rejective) with our
ISP. Please send an e-mail to j.l.remeeus at kpn.com; that's my business
address. I did'nt receive your direct e-mail nor your e-mail on the
reflector. Underneath was the answer from W2NRA.

Thanks for the remarks about the Roofing Filter.

Switch in-and-out the Roofing Filter would be a very good idea, but I am
afraid it is not possible because of the coax cable.

I will order a Roofing Filter and try it.

I just bought a new Field and I heard from others that the IF-mod in the
Field is not quite a success. In the 3-1/2 years Mark-V I was very happy
with the IF-mod. Perhaps something changed positively in the Field; one of
the reasons why I bought one, hi!
