| My beloved Double Barreled DX-60 was acting up, drive was dropping out, so I opened her up and while I was trying to find out the drive issue, it stopped turning on in Tune unless I just held the Function Switch a bit past detent. Got to looking and it appears that the swich contact for the AC turn on from Tune through AM was burned badly. Tried to twiddle/clean it but had no success. So, I'm gonna' remove an unused similar contact that used to control the HV in Standby but was bypassed, and replace the bad one. There ain't no way I could find a function switch....is there?

| Has it been a month already? Almost. We had a good group for a meeting in Corona de Tucson and lunch at  ,
where else? NJ1J - Jan and WW5Q - Kelly came down from Phoenix and
joined the fun. I think it was Kelly's wife who said the name or
our group should be "ROMEO"s. Retired Old Men Eating
Out! I suppose so. |

 W7LB (SK) - LARRY BROWN |
|
I'm sad to report the passing of our good friend and AM operator, W7LB - Larry, who had been fighting for his life for the past week or two. Larry was a good guy, retired Hughes/Raytheon, a member and past officer of SADXA and had retired not long ago and built a fantastic station at his QTH to operate and enjoy. He was taken too early. W7LB (SK) RIP. |

Well,
it's a new year and it was the first meeting of the year for the
group.
Here's N6YW - Billy, who brought me a WRL map to be placed on the
wall in a place of honor above my Globe King 500. Thanks,
Billy. We had quite a crowd with 12 showing up at AJ7O's including
WQ5Q - Kelly and KA7ISV - Jan 
who came down from the Phoenix area. Kelly picked up a beautiful
station consisting of a near virgin DX-60 and HG-10 and a fine
looking Ranger 
to take home with him. While we were there, N6YW - Billy and W8VG
- George got on the roof and tweaked a Ringo 6 meter antenna for AJ7O -
Dave so's he can get on the Mt.Lemmon 6 meter repeater with a bunch of
us AMers. Then we loaded up a fine example of a BC-610 that Dave
had been borrowing from Billy and with the he-man effort of the younger
guys, loaded it into the back of Billy's pickup. Then, we retired
to ,
of course, for a fine lunch. It just don't get no better than
that. We kept that waitress hopping and the rest of the customers
were either disgrunteled or were enjoying the camaraderie we were
having. Sorry if you missed it. You're welcome next month.
Attending were: N6YW - Billy, KA7ISV - Jan, WQ5Q - Kelly, WD7F - John, W8VG - George, W7YAZ - Frank, W1KSZ - Richard, SWLer - Don, AJ7O - Dave, W7MD - Doc Damon, KI7RSR - Edward and KH6ITY - Larry. As it was said by the
lady who wrote the social column in the home town newspaper, The Casey
Daily Reporter, "A good time was had by all!" |

|

We toasted
and said some good words for W7LB - Larry who is in dire straits at the
St. Joseph's Hospital with severe respitory, kidney and other
maladies. We're all praying for him. |

Cold and
windy at AJ7O - Dave's place but we managed to trouble shoot his 6 meter
problem down to a bad coax. So, next visit we'll bring him a piece
of good stuff. WA1BZQ - Bruce showed up and we had a pretty good
time. Guess where we ate lunch. |

It's been
a while. N6YW - Billy and I traveled down to visit AJ7O - Dave's
and there he was running some 30 meter CW. You can see how elated
he was to make a QSO, times are tough. Anyway, W7YAZ - Frank
showed up to pick up a couple rigs from Billy and then, as usual, we
went to |
