Hi,

I stumbled on this Google group yesterday and was surprised to see
that the following was written about me back in April this year by a
member who calls himself zeroaurora:-

Title: G4JJX, 400Watts may arse!!

3.790, 400W is 30 over 9, switches amp off now using 100W is 10 over
9 -------- 20db gain using an extra 300W and same
antenna.........I don't think so!!!!


I'd like to thank those of you who, rather than joining zeroaurora in
condeming me as a liar who must be running far more than the legal
limit, gave me the benefit of the doubt in my absense.

At the time that I was heard I was running an FT980 into a Linear Amp
UK Ranger 811K, (K for Kit) which if pushed is capable of no more than
700-800 Watts, so even if I was running with this power, (which I
wasn't!) it certainly shouldn't have resulted in a 20dB increase in S
meter reading!! zeroaurora, I suggest you get your equipment checked
out. Nobody has ever reported an increase of more than 8-10dB to me.

Do have a callsign BTW zeroaurora?

Not quite a record...but a bite after 6 months is still good going!!!...
