April 2006 QST Feedback

In "A Side-Mount Precision Rotator for Microwave and Millimeter Wave Antennas" [Feb 2006, pp 42-45], Figure 7 showed the power connector wired incorrectly. The correct connections are shown in the accompanying drawing.

In "8877 'Lite' -- A 50 MHz 20-Pound Travel Amplifier" [Feb 2006, pp 32-35], Figure 7 shows the +15 V line going to ground at relay K4B. The connection to ground should be removed.

In "Morse Code Telemetry for Small Rockets and Aircraft" [Feb 2006, pp 28-31], the author suggests using a frequency above 144.1 MHz for telemetry operations. While FM is legal anywhere in the 2 meter band above 144.1 MHz, the ARRL band plan suggests the use of frequencies above 144.3 MHz to avoid interference with SSB operations. A good range for such operations might be from 145.5 to 145.8 MHz, designated for "miscellaneous and experimental modes." Whichever frequency you select, listen first to make sure you have a clear channel.

The call sign of Randy Atkinson, KC0IQM, was incorrect in "Packet Radio Logs the OGAR -- Part 2" [Public Service, Feb 2006, p 85].

The Net Manager's report from the Piscataquis Amateur Radio Club, managed by N1RCU, was inadvertently left out of the listing in "2004 Simulated Emergency Test Results" [Jul 2005, p 98]. Their SET operation received 79 points.

The photo at the bottom of page 13 of the March 2006 issue shows K7BV with Emily Bishop, W6EMB, of Cleveland, Tennessee, an Amateur Extra class licensee. Emily was inadvertently misidentified in the caption.
