Strays	Add a Stray!

There was a great reprint recently on E-Ham about living with PEP. Brought up a good question. I know many modern rigs support 1.8KHz tx bandwidth and TCXOs for use on 60M, but given what was in the article, how can we know precisely that we're running 50 watts? I set my 746Pro for what should be about 10 watts on a non-peak reading meter when running 60M, because I'm afraid of calibration issues making me illegal. 73 de K9CTB k9ctb@comcast.net

DXCC Status
A contributor states, "Currently there are only two countries that do not issue Amateur Radio licenses to their citizens, Yemen and North Korea. Thousand of deserving Ham's worldwide who enjoy working DX are shut out of any hope of obtaining the #1 Top of the Honor Roll status due to this. It would seem rational that these two countries (and any others who take a similar position) should be deleted from the official DXCC list in view of this. Why recognize a country on the DXCC list that does not recognize Amateur Radio? What say you?"

Shack Showcase	AA5CH

With the ecxeption of 220 mHz, the station is multimode capable on 160 meters through 440 mhz with the Icom 7800, Ten Tec Omni VI, and the Kenwood TS2000. I use the TenTec Argonaut V and the Elecraft K-1 for portable and QRP work. The antenna farm includes a 5 Band Hex Beam, Gap Voyager, 5 element MSquared yagi for 6 meters, 15 element Cushcraft yagi for 2 meters, a center fed doublet, and a 160 meter dipole. I prefer CW, but also enjoy SSB and PSK31. 73, Brad AA5CH
