suggestions given by Randy, WX5L. "Abdollah's rig is an old Drake
TR-3 that has been in storage for 15 years", Randy reports. "The
tubes are weaken and the power supply has some problems. When
Abdollah transmits his transmit frequency shifts down 100-200 cycles
probably due to voltage sag. Some may think he's operating split or
with rit but that's not the case. His receive is usually 150-200
cycles above his transmit". QSL to Abdollah Sadjadian, P.O. Box

the postal employees reap the benefits. Up until now Abdollah has

batch at a time and forward them on to help with expenses which I
will do. Abdollah still would want to get your QSL"). [TNX WX5L]
