Anyone have the manual on the Drake MN2000 antenna tuner? Photocopy
all right (it can't be very big!) or will copy your original and return same
asap.
Thanks!

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Installing a TS50 in 1 1990 Legacy Subaru s/wagon, I discovered the N/B is
pretty good on pulse noise, but worthless on hash (used an IC-740 previously
with an excellent variable N/B, got rid of 90% of all noise no problem, hardly
any artifacts)
Anyone had any experience with eliminating alternator hash and microprocessor
noise on Subaru Legacy? Any ideas would be very much appreciated!
Thanks, 73, Yves (Al) W1EOX

I wonder if I am alone in lamenting Industry Canadas choice of offering
Victor Alpha? I find that on the air, there is constant confusion between
VA and VE when it is said quickly. Invariably, the receiving station must
ask for the phonetic spelling because they sound so much alike.
I think it is a nice option to be able to have your initials and that would
clearly make it worth going to a VA call. But the logic of switching from a
VE3*** call to a VA3** non-initial call seems quite transparent to me because
it is obvious that it is post-VE3ZZZ.
Now, if only I can get all those special station prefixes sorted out...:)
