To: info-hams@ucsd.edu In a previous article, vinod@watson.ibm.com (Vinod Narayanan) says: >I will be getting a direct conversion receiver kit from >ten-tec in couple of days.

(Also, >I could easily string out about 100 feet of wire for an antenna..) Since no one else appears to have posted a reply, I will offer my thoughts in the hope that it might help you somewhat. My advice for this short haul, especially at night, would be 80m, hands down. You would most likely still copy W1AW quite well at this range on 40m but skip tends to lengthen out on that band at night, while 80m will usually provide good coverage from local stations on out to several hundred or even several thousand miles (depending on propagation). 73 and Good Luck, Rob -- Robin Ludlow, VE3YE Orleans, Ontario, Canada as041@freenet.carleton.ca ------------------------------ Date: 24 May 1994 04:42:30 -0400 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!usc!howland.reston.ans.net!gatech!usenet.ufl.edu!usenet.cis.ufl.edu!anshar.shadow.net!anshar.shadow.net!nobody@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Skinny Dip To: info-hams@ucsd.edu šиииииš ии šии ЬииЫ šиииииš šиииииš ии ии ииииииš ЬииЫ ииииииš ииšššš ииšиис ии ии ии ии ии ииš šии ии ии ии ииšššии ссссии иисииš ии ии ии ии ии сииис ии ии ии иисссс сииииис ии сии ЬииЫ ии ии ии ии ЬиЫ иииииис ЬииЫ ии *** THIGH CREAM *** The ORIGINAL thigh cream, as seen on national TV This is the NEW, SUPER STRENGTH formula Accept none of the immitation creams YOU'RE WORTH THE BEST!!!
