Where can I obtain a supply of the screws that hold the panels on to
radio's...?
I don't know what size they are, or if they are the same for each radio,
but, they are the ones found in the sides of (now chaps don't baulk) Rotel
CB's and the like.

I want to run WSPR with my power into the antenna set at 1mW. Radio of
choice in my FT817. How can I reduce its output to 1mW and how can I measure
this?

I've noticed that a number of posters have admitted to being divorced while
others probably could never have been married.
Hands up then. Who is married AND has remained married for an extended
period, say 10+ years ?

What problem are you having with GB3CF? I listen to it quite a bit on
my scanner, they seem like a decent bunch on there, same with the
other Markfield (Leicester Repeater Group) repeaters, and they're
preserving a bit of history that the Govt would rather be forgotten,
as it is sited on a former Royal Observer Corps nuclear bunker. When I
can afford it, I'll renew my licence and get a transceiver, however
Ham Radio is a low priority here just now, otherwise I'd join in.

I can already hear the pattern of CQ easily in a pile-up and centre it at 800Hz
(which is the pitch I prefer), pretty much regardless of speed if it's being sent
by either paddle or key.
This is, of course, how it starts...
