Fortunately they were not the expensive 3 legged variety. I managed to find 4 x 30V Farnell SMPSUs at a rally. They are 360VA units and wired in series / parallel are great for the Decca, but not so good for the 5A fuse in the distribution board we were using. Although last night was a bit of a washout I was pleased to see the report from Ko about the reception of Larry VA3LK. Sorry I missed it Larry. A quick guess of Larry's QRA at FN25EL and Ko in JO22KF would put that at a distance of apx 5630 km. If signals were 10dB down from those on Friday night, just imagine how far Larry's QRS signal could go on a 'good day'. The news from the /P tower block is that Sean (who passed his RAE in December) now realises how difficult LF really is. Suitably enthusiastic he is now trying to find a kindred spirit in the 12 story building about 600 feet to the West of his QTH. 73 David G0MRF
