This week....

This week we had the following fine fellows stop by...

KCØTQD James
KØAWD Alan
WBØRJR Bob
KQØQ Lance
KØDPS Doug
ACØHA Cecil
KC5MNP Mike
KDØCUT Tom
WBØOSP Kevin
KCØWSE Robert

Bob, WBØRJR made mention that his is expecting arrival of his Celwave 900Mhz vertical for use on the 900Mhz 927.5375 repeater. Cecil asked if a diplexer is required for HF/6m rigs.... the response was that you can go either way... use a diplexer or a coax switch. Tom, KCØCUT asked for information on how to best study for the General exam. Several answers were given. Most of them involved self-study using the ARRL Handbook and the ARRL Operating Manual using them to look up questions that you did not understand while taking the practice tests. Lance, KQØQ commented that he was awaiting arrival of his recent purchase of a 900Mhz handheld.

Hope to see everyone next week,

Jeff / KCØVGC
