Last night there was a CTX hilltop event and 26(163)CTX965 Jason and CTX 104 Gary were up the Black Mountains in Wales approx 740M ASL. I was at about 250M ASL which is the highest I can practically get. There was reasonable tropospheric ducting conditions over the south of the UK and he hit me a wacking great S8 on AM mode from 143 miles away.... A great evening out with the Gain Master on 6M of pole.



This map gives you an idea of distance:

    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
