[SignalOne] Signal One Updates

[Fred]

Just a few updates for the group.
The Motorola Amateur Radio Club in Plantation, FL is selling their 
MS1030 on ebay.

It seems impossible to get a clear frequency anywhere near 14.270 on 
Sunday at 1630Z.  There is some contest going on every weekend or a 
bunch of LIDS cussing at each other.  Perhaps we could move to 14.180 or 
14.170.  Band conditions are so poor right now I don't think it is 
feasible to move to 0000Z after the contests end.  Or perhaps there is 
no interest in continuing the net.  Your input on this would be appreciated.

No change in the number of CX7s or MS1030s.  Still at 102 and 35 
respectively.
Another CX11A has turned up in Northern Italy making the total count 27.
Some activity on the MS1030C and MS1030CI, IC-781 conversions, however.
Total number of CIs is now at 5 and the total of the C model is now at 3 
with another radio surfacing recently.  Not much info on this rig but it 
does exist.
I was quite fortunate to be able to purchase Ora Smith's MS1030C 
conversion rig.  It survived shipping and is now in my collection.
