Hello dear friends.
Now we are near ready to go to Corrientes province.
I repaired the 3-500 Linear Amplifier, replacing a TIP, one diode and a
resistor.
I am very happy because the tube was OK.
LU6UO will be arriving by bus 22nd. early morning, he is living about 650 km
west of BA. We will collect him in the border of Baires city bus station.
LW2DX is helping me with all things, collecting cables, wires, isolators,
balun, boxes, etc., we will load my VW Caddy with about 400 kg.
My Thinkpad IBM blow up the hard drive. We replace it with an external zip
drive, but the screen is very small, HI HI. Nothing to do we haven�t money
to buy a new one HI HI. We have glasses.
My soon Mauricio prepare a 486 PC from old things to run CT.
The bungalow have a tower for VHF and we are going to use it with a
multiband dipole, more or less like my "Poor Mr. Hertz".
The sencond station will run SSB also with about 200/300 watts and a 4 bands
vertical antenna.
The temperature will be about 36/38C, furtunatly both bungalows are air
conditioning.
We hope to have the fisrt station running with 500 w at 2000Z.
Esquina is not a big town, then an FM radio will give us some publicity with
our qso and country rate every two hours. We are going to spend some time in
kids places with booklets, qsl cards, post cards, etc.
But, the most important thing, we are going to enjoy CW, friendship and the
amateur radio activities.
I hope to meet a lot of you during our trip to share it with you.
Best regards
Alberto LU1DZ
