I was wondering if they could be somehow modified to transmit in NTSC for here in the United States. I was thinking it probably has a modulation board and some kind of amplifier. I could just replace the modulation board with another couldn't I? He says he has about 15 of them if anyone else wanted one. I'll try to find schematics.

I am always up for portable operations. Have plenty of portable antennas, an FT-857d, Signalink, AT-100Pro tuner and other portable radio gear. Given the location you are talking about, the sooner the better. Mosquito will carry us off in the Summer. I tried this once before. Not a good idea on my part. Newsletter says May 9th. Not sure how it would be then. Guess this all depends on the weather at the time. Hope you here of some interest from others. 73 Chris, NR9Q De N From dpease at adams.net Fri Feb 27 12:26:12 2015 From: dpease at adams.net (Danny Pease) Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:26:12 -0600 Subject: [WIARC] March newsletter and meeting notice Message-ID: <01b701d052b2$7b64e310$722ea930$@adams.net> The March Issue of the Western Illinois ARC Feedline is available for viewing.
