P5, NORTH KOREA. QSL Manager Bruce, KK5DO, informs OPDX that Ed, P5/4L4FN,
has repaired his AL-80a linear. It had a blown rectifier bridge. He had
temporarily hooked up another 12v power supply so he could still use it
and has just completed replacing the bridge with a larger one. He had to
take the Hex Beam down. The mast he was using wasn't strong enough to
hold it and the rotor. He is looking for something that will work better,
and that might have to wait until he goes back to Beijing in 4-5 weeks.
His work at the present time has kept him from doing as much operating
as he would like, but he will be back on more as things settle down.
Meanwhile, with great news that Ed's RTTY activity is now good for
DXCC (see DXCC News above), Ed was active this past weekend on 20 meters
