Jerry, I am trying to decide on a new rig too. My hubby said I could have a new radio of my choice for my birthday. I was thinking the Yeasu FTdx-101MP because it will give me 200 watts - an

I think a little discussion on this (as opposed to just a poll) might be interesting. For psk and other HF digital modes I have used: 1. TenTec Eagle 599AT 2. Elecraft KX3 and KXPA100 3. Icom

Jerry, That's a shame to bury that rig. My 1000MP went out last year and I sent it to Technical Specialists in Tampa where Lee does circuit board level repairs. Might want to send it to him if it

Been considering a new (or new to me) rig since the FT-1000MP bit the dust after a bunch of years; although it was repaired and seems to be working okay there is a little doubt in the back of my mind

There are many sites which have little or no history. My local club started by myself and 2 others goes back to 1978, but our "Club Historian" died and everything he had was lost. No one else

Is Rollo the club logo or is there another? Bob KK6KMU

I think we actually did one that ended up with millions of points, and I remember the comment about Mark (SK). I know there were lots of others that were rejected. The 070 club never lacked for

The good old days... I remember one particular award that Charlie, K8IJ and I came up with. similar to WTW, but many times bigger. I asked a few members what they thought, and one particular fellow in

We did have new member contests at various 100-member boundaries, but "The Great Race" was the last (at least for a long while). IIRC, the rules were set up that the contest would continue until

I don't know about Rollo. I think he was a creation of Jay N3DQU. Steve W3HF

By the way that link on the main PODXS page "Club History" has been missing the text since I joined the club three years ago. Cant remember that far back Bob KK6KMU

Milt, I saw you last evening of 40, but just could not get a qso in with you. I am hoping that Steve chimes in, and says he has more of a history than that brief summary that we
