Got the best contact of the year on tuesday at about 4:30 PM EST when I heard CQ CQ 101 Brazil standing by and called back and to my supprise he answerd me back :D . we had a good 10-15 min QSO and exchanged email so we can sent pics of radios and ourselves. I was talking off my 696FD1 freqency 27.485 with 100watts and maco 5/8 at 7ft to feed point mounted on my wash pole :lol: .

He was running 100watts on a three element beam pointed at USA.
 

That same day lots of Brazil stations where coming in on 555 usb. Check that one out from time to time, lots of S. America is usually on there through the winter.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
