[50mhz] A question for 52.525 FMers ONLY... Follow-up

[James M. Walker]

Oh Yes,
I got that! I remember times when I thought I was on
the dummy load in the past, "Oops My Bad", when I
went to receive I got three calls right away, mostly
wanting to know "WHAT RIG ARE YOU RUNNING?"

Those dog-gone 4-125s push the signal a Looonnngg way!
Also the 4CX250B/Cs. 

The Johnson 6N2 provides drive for either the HB 4CX250 amp,
or the General electric 4-125As amplifier.

I prefer CW but AM or SSB are also available here.

Time however is currently at a premium. Give me a little
time and I will be back on "^" all-modes.

DC to Light, and all points in between!

Don't just think of the vertical's (Diamond or Comet) as just an FM
antenna. I live in a Townhouse and can only use a vertical BUT I've
worked over 300 grids with it. It may not have the gain numbers of even
a 3 element but when the band is open "IT'S OPEN". Don't forget about 6
AM also (50.400) and 6 PSK (50.290). Working someone in other modes is
as exciting as working a new grid or new state. Listen for a signal and
jump in.
