Hi Gang:

I'm in Calumet--about one more hour drive to my first
operating location.

I built a new rack that I LIKE--gas mileage was better. It
was lighter and I could put it up on top much more easily.
And it's more versatile.

But checking out my equipment shows that the 6m rig's PLL is
not locking up and has no frequency (and is dead). My
903/1.2/2.3 IF rig is oscillating and acting really weird.
And the 2.3 rig shows no output.  (My 2.3 rig is
funny--sometimes it just doesn't work--I thought it was cold
temps.)

Anyways, in the next 3 hours, I will replace the 6m rig with
another one that I just happened to bring along. Last time I
tried it, however, it was sensitive to RF feedback. Hmmmm.
I brought along another IF rig for the microwaves, but
wouldn't you know it, it's not modded for voltage on the
coax so PTT switching MAY have just gotten MUCH more complex
.

Anyways, 2-432 seem ok :-).

Hope things get better from here :-)
