Could anyone give me information on sending/receiving television signals? What
sort of equipment do I need? I'm working with a VHF/UHF transceiver now, and
have no additional equipment as yet. Any help anyone could give would be
greatly appreciated. Please E-Mail to this account (my name is David Nesting.
This account is a friend's).
Thanks...

Hi,
Can anyone comment on the performance of the ARK 20 QRP transceiver kit as advertised in the CQ magazine. I am thinking of
buying one. Is there a better kit I should be looking at? Tks.

It will DISPLAY up to 520, but you will note that after about 487 the decimal
point disappears, meaning that the PLL will not lock and you will not
actually receive anything. It will also display down to 810 but will not
lock below about 860. The 487 and 860 numbers depend on the individual
radio, but that is what mine does. Bye...

I intend to buy a SW radio. The 2 that I am interested in are Grundid Satellit
700 and Sony ICF-SW77. Does anyone know these radios ? Please give the review,
and recommendation.
Thank you in advance for the requested information.

I'm considering building up a satellite station, and the first thing
I need to get figured out is how to run a high quality feed system.
My operating station is about 80 feet from the proposed rotator position
(as the coax runs.) This means I need to pay particular attention to
low loss in this system.
I have discovered I know little about these expensive feed lines, and am
looking for information on what kind of losses are involved by cable
type, where I can get detailed information, and finally where I can
get the actual cable and connectors. I would prefer to run a 50 ohm
system throughout, since that is what is expected at the transmitter
and presumed antenna systems. I do know that cable companies sometimes
have leftover pieces, but it is usually 75 ohm cable. Any pointers
would be appreciated.

Does anyone have a current address and phone number for WAVETEK ? I have a
sweep generator that needs a manual.
