Jim,

Thanks, I've used them before.? When do we start getting hit with the
tariff charges?? Can I get an order in soon enough?

I went ahead and ordered the Honbay trimmers, as I get them today and
I can get the ADC-40 project back on track.

So, let me take one for the team and I'll run an analysis and report
back to the group at large, if they don't mind.

I got KS yesterday around 0000UTC, so I'm willing to get on your
frequency of 18.080MHz (the same one I start out on almost every
day :-) ) today and we'll try to hook up.? I'm up to nine states
in 4 days with my one element beam at 4m.? I've hit Japan twice
in the last two days grey line.? Hoping for KL7 and KH6 at the
same time.

Funny story.? I had fired up the rig and heard N6TR/7 (the most famous
contest op in the world IMHO) Tree working VT.? So OR and VT to get
in 15 sec.? (*&(*)(*#$? My patented AA7FO Bencher paddle failed to
operate.? Pic attached.? It has been sitting on the shelf for decades.
I had run paper between the silver plated contacts.? But, the ground
is connected through the four pointy contacts and dust/corrosion/rust...
had made a high enough resistor to not trigger the keyer.? Got the
N3ZN paddle and by that time they were gone.

I'll be running my old QCX+ from QRP-Labs and I have a QCX-mini to
build when I can get the ADC-40 project off the workbench.? Did you
know the QCX-mini has sold over 16K units.? They are used a lot
for POTA and SOTA ops as far as the YouTube videos seem to show.

I got AZ yesterday with a ham 2km away in the same gated community.
Didn't know I had any one on HF in the same complex.? Funny.

See you this afternoon buddy,
