Subj : 2 The ARRL Letter for April 27, 2018 To : all From : mark lewis Date : Sat Apr 28 2018 06:28:12 In The ARRL Letter of April 19, the article, "New 630-Meter Band Reported 'Very Busy'" contained an incorrect call sign. The sentence should have said, "NO3M, who also operates as W8CDX, reports eight DXCC entities worked on the new band." A photo caption in the same article indicated that NO3M was using a modified Heathkit amplifier for his amateur work on 630 meters. NO3M said the modified tube amp was one he'd used while operating under an FCC Part 5 Experimental license for generating sufficient power to obtain the 100 W ERP permitted under that grant. His current solid-state amp for amateur work is much more modest. ____________________________________________________________________________ Just Ahead in Radiosport * April 28-29 -- 10-10 International Spring Contest, Digital * April 28-29 -- DX RTTY Contest * April 28-29 -- Helvetia Contest (CW, phone, digital) * April 28-29 -- Florida QSO Party (CW, phone) * April 29 -- BARTG Sprint 75 (75 baud RTTY) * May 1 -- AGCW QRP/QRP Party (CW) * May 3 -- NRAU 10-Meter Activity Contest (CW, phone, digital) * May 3 -- MIE 33 Contest (CW, phone) See the ARRL Contest Calendar for more information.
