History

Donated to CCC by N8BJQ along with $200 repair money May 2005.

July 2005

Shipped to W6XA for repair by W0CG.

September 2005

Repairs complete, including new T/R relay and others. $300 total cost. Shipped directly to N4RV to take to Curacao in October 2005.

October 2005

Arrived Curacao inop -- RX was OK but no luck on transmit -- high SWR and almost no power output. N0YY executed troubleshooting advice from W6XA and pulling and reconnecting internal cables cured the problem XCVR is now 100 % operational.

October 27 2006

Put into service at Station # 2 during CQWW SSB after one FT-1000 and the Omni VI failed at that position. Functioned perfectly for the balance of that contest.

18 July 2009

Tested good. Bagged in Ziploc with dessicant.

5 March 2013

K8LEE and K6AM performed XCVR triage of all radios. Found that this XCVR 100% good.

5 April 2013

Used transceiver on most bands, CW and SSB at Station 3 for five days and then stowed in plastic bag without dessicant. All cables and adapters are in Box 11, West bedroom.
