26WF183, Phils the name, old time CBer (since 1974 AM) worked most countries DX over the years via 27.555 usb or the 26.285 usb overspill channel in the older days when we had good sunspot act. well fingers crossed it will get better.
Setting up again as being older with more time to spare, came across the group looking for advice on a little switch mode Watson power-mite-nf 22amp psu, anybody who has one could easily answer my posted question in the specific equipment section by poping off the top cover and taking a peek at the dc output conection cables going to the back...

Hi Folks,

Just a quickie introduction and a potted bio.

My name is Elizabeth but I'm known to most people as Lissa - dates back to when a company I worked for had 3 Elizabeths so one became Liz, the second was Beth and I settled for Lissa. I also have a nickname of "Duchess" as a result of my efforts in doing Victorian re-enactment stuff and "Queen Victoria" bestowed the title of "Duchess of Woking" on me.

I first got interested in radio when I was a teenager, although...

Just decided to join this forum (and several others). I may not find much time for the forums, but I will try.

Cheers.
Peter.
