J.B., and Folks,
J.B., If you capture VY1JA, you will have the station farthest east to have
done so. If you even get a ghost with holes in it, I can send you an Argo
of what was transmitted to compare the timing with my transmission.
I have been forced to switch back to sending VY1JA repeatedly in 30 minute
cycles, with no CW ID. I cannot seem to be able to send the shortened call
on QRSS60 followed by the id at 9 WPM for more than 6 repeats. Rik has been
working with me to help me figure out what I am doing wrong.
If I wake up every three hours, I can use the simpler call of JA_JA plus
fast ID. I just need to resstart after six repeats.
Good news... The final parts (Manhattan pads) for building the amp is on the
way... Steve made the pads up and is sending them to me. The supposed
supplier of the Roper Whitney style punch failed to ship and PayPal got him
to refund my money. I bid on another punch from different supplier. If
anyone is considering ordering a an aviation punch for making pads for
Manhattan style construction I can tell you what punch supplier to stay away
from and Steve can tell you about success.
J.B., Happy hunting!
J.
