[Lowfer] EAR, MLS, TH

[Mitch Powell]

Thanks Mike: Transmitting cuts down on the part I enjoy - which is
listening....so have cut back on the beacon for awhile. Finishing up a new
630 m amp and may "restore" my G0MRF rig, which was the one that was
designed for 137. It was converted to 630 m for the Transcanada QSO and
then the Crossband QSOs.
Different courses this year - so have some extra time and want to finish up
new projects.
Will keep you informed - so you can check out things as we go.
Appreciate your reports very much.
73 and Merry Christmas.
Mitch
