Title: DK4EI on 15-meter AM Post by: W7NGA on May 21, 2014, 12:06:56 PM DK4EI Heinz in Germany was solid S9 this morning on 21.430 at 0900 PDST.
We had a very pleasant QSO and I was also S9. I had just soldered in the last pin-diode on my Alpha 89 to repair the infamous RX pin-diode issue with this amplifier. No reason to buy the diodes from Alpha .. the common 1N4007 from Mouser @ $0.15 works nicely and you can buy 20 for what Alpha will charge you. Mouser also has the Littelfuse fuse for $5 that attempts to protect the RX diodes, but not quite! :( 73's dan W7NGA San Juan Island, Wa.

My voice is still down for the count as I battle this cold + allergy event but I'll be tuning around and enjoying the activity! 73, Rob W1AEX Title: Re: DK4EI on 15-meter AM Post by: W2VW on May 21, 2014, 04:20:29 PM Nice contact from all the way out there!
