Dear All,

After my holidays will start to make the following improvements:
Try to get my old TS690S more stable. ### anny suggestions ??? ###
Connect the 7/8" TX cable, it's not yet in the shack, have to open the roof but thats not handy just before the holidays
Instal the preamp in the tower, now 60 mtr of "bad" cable from tower to the radio
Start using my big 2X GS35B PA, at the moment running a modified SB220 at 1K, don't want to run the big Amp on the small cable :-)
Take home some holiday souvenirs for my neighbours, they already think I'm completely crazy with all this alluminium in my yard

On my return from holiday in 9A will stop at EME conference 2006 in Wurzburg.
Love to see some of you guys their.
For now thanks for a great EME weekend on 6 mtr
