[MAMS] W9SNR/R August UHF Plans

[Zack Widup]

Not sure about my fate in this contest. After spending close to $600 for
front-end parts on my car over the last month, it wouldn't start last
Thursday. I've spent maybe 6 hours tracking down the problem and narrowed it
to two possibilities. It's either the igniter module or the ignition coil in
the distributor. There's no foolproof way to test either one outside of
circuit. I'll probably end up replacing both. That's another $400. The car
is stretching my pocketbook quite a bit. If I can't get the parts by next
weekend, I may miss this contest.

We'll see what happens this week.

73, Zack W9SZ
