I found this/these relays on Ebay for $.99 each.? They are 110VDC coil and 20A contact rating.? My Heathkit amplifier relay coil opened up and I just happen to have 5 of these on hand.? It took a little modification to get what I show on the pixs but it sure
came out being a perfect replacement? ? I removed the common relay contact wire from the base of the relay and stripped the leads where they were bare and ran them to the back of the relay so they would connect to the RF input and RF output connections like
the original configuration of the Heathkit.? The wires are super flexible and gives you shortest connections to RF circuitry.??
I will probably order about 10 of these to keep on hand for future use like this.??

FT-991A front end failure
Relaying the following from Groups.io FT-991A forum. Thread summarized below by WA1RKT after contacting Yaesu.
...And to think I just bought an FT-991A for upcoming field day use and have it setting next my FT-710 in the shack.
I'll have to rethink my decision, or task the FT-991A to VHF/UHF when operating near active HF rigs.

Received an email from Yaesu this afternoon... to paraphrase:
?
1.? Yes, operating other HF radios in close proximity to the FT-991 or FT-911A will likely blow those resistors.
?
2.? No, there is no operational mode (e.g. AMP1) that will provide any protection against (1).
?
3.? There are no Yaesu-approved mods to guard against (1), i.e. attempting any such mods will void the warranty.
?
4.? The only recommended mitigation is to disconnect the antenna from the HF connector when transmitting with another HF transmitter.? (I assume turning off the power to the radio will also protect it but he didn't say and I didn't ask.)
?
In other words, if you want to use this radio in a multi-transmitter environment, you're SOL especially in the cast that you have no control over when the other rigs transmit (e.g. field day).
?
The Yaesu rep recommends the FT-710 as having a "more robust front end", but of course you sacrifice 2M/440 capability.? If I could use that I may as well buy another IC-7300, of which I have one and it has been solid with no issues.
?
So, there it is, from the horse's mouth.

Skywarn Recognition Day - Dec 7th
-*-*-*-*-*-* web page excerpt-*-*-*-*-*-* Skywarn? Recognition Day was developed in 1999 by the National Weather Service and the American Radio Relay League. It celebrates the contributions that Skywarn? volunteers make to the NWS mission, the protection of life and property. Amateur radio operators comprise a large percentage of the Skywarn? volunteers across the country. The Amateur radio operators also provide vital communication between the NWS and emergency management if normal communications become inoperative. All Skywarn? spotters provide critical weather information before, during and after adverse weather strikes. This includes reports of rain and snow, ice and wind, storms and tornadoes, flooding and fire. This is our 24 hours to recognize all of the Skywarn? spotters serving our nation! Be sure to follow your local NWS social media pages and other social media outlets for additional ways to participate in SRD 2024 Catch you on the air, Jason Hampton -Freedom Isn't Free 830-992-1334 Texas Patriots Room: Wires-X 60755 or YSF 60755 Sent from an Android mobile device.
