Turn it on.  You know how to do that, don't you?
Rub up against it!

I agree with the Hexbeam idea.  Yahoo has a great group and there are excellent ideas on homebrewing your own for considerably less than the cost of the commercial hex.

I think you missed the humor.... why do you want an exotic dancer to strip the coax.  Just do it yourself.....

I once had a beam with the mast outside of my bedroom window.  I had a steering wheel attached at the bottom of the mast and when I wanted to point the beam in a different direction, I opened the wndow and turned the steering wheel.  It's what the old timers called "The Armstrong Method".

I highly recommend the Hexbeam.  I think you will find it will disappear with the trees in the background.  It has a very small turning radius, and should handle the legal limit.  I know they are pretty spendy.  If you are good at building, you may want to consider joining the yahoo group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hex-beam/
They have a lot of members who have built their own at lot less than the cost of a commercial Hex.  Remember, the Hex is a two element wire beam so it probably won't be a pile up buster at 37 feet. FWIW!

Whoops.  Don't download the prefix.exe file as that is for the dos version.  I think you may want to download the latest updates for Win-EQF and see if that fixes yor problems.

Laszlo,
It has something to do with the database in the logging software that points the prefix to the correct country.  I don't use Win EQF, but I'm sure it's in the help files.  Here is the download page for EQF:

Download and install the prefix.exe file (I believe).

Here's another one...

This is for any TSx50 model...

I used to have the Ts-850 and used a Kam with it.  Here is a website that tells about a mod for this problem:
http://www.radiomods.co.nz/kenwood/kenwoodts850.html

"A common problem when using a KAM-Plus multimode with the Kenwood TS-850 or TS-450 occurs when the KAM-Plus is coupled to the Accessory-2 socket on the back of the transceiver, producing noticable distortion of the transmitted audio when using the microphone in SSB mode."

I think if you google this problem you will probably find a lot more.  I don't really anybody modding their radio unless they feel comfortable doing so.

Rob,
Cut and paste the address in:

This is a great site, and they have excellent tutorials on the whole process.  Some people complain the process takes too long in this day of the Internet, but they  have to give others a chance to get their check mailed in if they choose to pay by snail mail.  Here is the link to the explanation page:

Dean (AE7Q) does a much better job of explaining the process than I do.  The nice thing that once it's posted on the FCC's site you can start using the call right away.  You don't need the paper copy.  In fact you can print the paper copy from the FCC website or AE7Q's site.  The only thing that matters is what is in the FCC's database.

4/17/07 is your process date.  I just did mine on the FCC site and followed the progress on AE7Q's site.  He had a prediction date and it was spot on.  I'm guessing there will be no information because there is typically a 18 day waiting period to see if anybody else is competing for the call and waiting for mail in payment. It looks like you are going to get the call, you just have to let the process work.
