Spotlight	W5PIE in El Paso, TX

Main rigs are an Icom IC-7800 and IC-756ProII. Power comes from the Alpha 87a and a PW-1 on the floor. On the tower is a Mosley PRO67a. I work PSK31, SSTV, Satellites, and SSB especially on 40M. Over my shoulder you can see Collins equipment, KWM-2A, 312B-5, and 30L-1, all round emblem.

Strays	Add a Stray!

There was a great reprint recently on E-Ham about living with PEP. Brought up a good question. I know many modern rigs support 1.8KHz tx bandwidth and TCXOs for use on 60M, but given what was in the article, how can we know precisely that we're running 50 watts? I set my 746Pro for what should be about 10 watts on a non-peak reading meter when running 60M, because I'm afraid of calibration issues making me illegal. 73 de K9CTB k9ctb@comcast.net

DXCC Status
A contributor states, "Currently there are only two countries that do not issue Amateur Radio licenses to their citizens, Yemen and North Korea. Thousand of deserving Ham's worldwide who enjoy working DX are shut out of any hope of obtaining the #1 Top of the Honor Roll status due to this. It would seem rational that these two countries (and any others who take a similar position) should be deleted from the official DXCC list in view of this. Why recognize a country on the DXCC list that does not recognize Amateur Radio? What say you?"

Shack Showcase	WB6SSW Agoura Hills, CA

In 1978 I saw my first Drake TR7 at Henry Radio. Over the years I've managed to collect about every piece of 7 and 5 Line gear. This is my current configuration TR7A/R7A station. This equipment is trouble free and will outlast me. I've worked 105 countries on RTTY using this station.
