Spotlight K6AER
K6AER I operate 160 meters to 450 MHz in SSB, CW and FM modes but can be found on the 20 meter phone most nights between 14.160-14.220. HF station is a Kenwood TS-570 S/G, Heil, Alpha 86 and 4510 feeding a four element SteppIR at 105 feet via 7/8 heliax. Base elevation is 7000 feet which makes for interesting DX. Dogs name is Bandit and barks when the band is open.

Question:

 
Strays Add a Stray!
There used to be a rotator control program distributed by PDA (hosenose.com) that would look up countries by prefix and set your rotator in motion, if so desired, to the relevant heading. It was distributed as a free download, and if you needed rotator control, they would sell you a circuit board to implant in your control box for most Hygain models and some others. I had it, I lost it, and I would like to have it again! Any ideas??? kd7ds@arrl.net
