FLASH TIPS & SUCHLIKE B i l l Coleman notes tha t he i s now working a t WRMT-fi90, Rocky b u n t , NC. He w i l l ver i fy a l l correct reports with return postage. Address is Box 283, z ip 27801. The f /c is the 3rd Sunday AM 05h5-0600 ELT.

Dave Schmidt pens tha t members h a m trouble verifying WI~L-l.h80, ShamokLn, PA should address t h e i r reports t o Bernie Flynn, again, with return postage.

The ICDDD-800 TEST f o r l o r n wasn't hFd here i n the East, due t o too much QRM from PJB & CKL1.J. Cx t h a t AM were quite auroral, w/ A*, noted as 50. We've noted a continuance of the trend of high geomagnetic ac t iv i ty recurring every 10-17 days f o r nearly six months now, with no letup in sight. Noise l eve l s here in NJ are also st i l l a b i t high.

NOTES &c FROM NJPC ERRATA: We regret t h a t we misspelled the name of a recent new member a few issues back. We l i s t e d him a s Dennis D. Dunn, when indeed the correct name i s Dennis D. Dean . Our apologies f o r changing your name without consulting you, Dennis. - One of the NRCls two most mobile members i s C a r l Junker, operator of the Flash Alert Service. "Flash" has moved again, and t h i s time we've got conflicting in- fo on h i s whereabouts. The P.O. says the address i s 3L25 Annabelle Dr., Dayton, OH 45429; while PP spoke to him the other n i te and got the same address i n Ket- tering, 011 45329. The phone' number Page called was the same one l i s t e d on the back cover. We'll correct t h a t address as soon as we straighten the mess out, hi.

HQ has recently received a copy of a l e t t e r (form type) t o US stat ions from a goup in Japan ostensibly representing a radio s ta t ion there which i s celebrating an anniversary. Among other tings, the l e t t e r asks f o r "samplert verifications. b?aturally,.we hope tha t s ta t ions don't comply, but we suspect t h a t many wi l l . If you run acmss t h i s l e t t e r on a v i s i t t o a station, please t i p the s tat ion per- sonnel off -- l e t ' s keep the hobby "clean".

Have any DX- ers used t h i s tuner o r antenna? I ' m nut surprised I havendt seen much i n t h e way of reviews on t h i s equipment - i t ' s cut of t h e average Wer's price range, hi. Seriously, I ' d be interested reading the comments of a qualified DXer about the antenna and tuner - the en t i re in fo from t h e company re@rdin@; the equipment seems oriented towards "high-fidelity 4 ~ " ( c o n t r a d i c t o ~ ~ i n i t s e l f ? ) with no men- t i o n of i t s potent ial (?) a s a DX tml.
