OSCAR Report - Error
by Clint Bradford 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

STOP calling me ... STOP emailing me ... NO - I cannot forsee the future and was able to work AO-51 TOMORROW, per my entry on the OSCAR Status Report Web site ... I mis-entered the date ... AO-51 WAS, though, booming(1) here in Southern CA this afternoon! Sheepishly yours, Clint Bradford, K6LCS (1) - "Booming" is a highly-technical concept, way too far advanced to explain right here and now.

I'll darn sure listen for it though! FO-20 is a bit higher than FO-29 and was better for DXing from down south here. 73, Drew KO4MA

ICOM and PCSAT32
by Tom Lubbers K8TL 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

IC-9100 + SATPC32. My IC910 is on its last legs, now no speaker output. The 9100 has a big price tag and a lot of features I am not interested in. I have been toying with the idea of adding a second IC7000, one for TX the other for RX. The first glitch I see is the CAT code for FM (04) on the 910 and the IC7000 (05) are different, the 9100 and the IC7000 use the same. Any one have any thoughts?? I Have a IC7000, two are cheaper than a 9100!! 73 Tom K8TL
