Re: [IRCA] DEC 23 - Eton E100 slider drop test and TPs

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Wow Colin,
 
     Your Slider E100 seems not only to have survived  the drop test, but is 
now meaner than ever!
 
     To be honest, I spent all summer DXing with a  Slider E100 having the 2 
Litz wires dangling out to a loose loopstick, just  like yours (the plastic 
frame wasn't designed until September).  John  Bryant saw it once at Grayland, 
and probably thought I was nuts. The monster  radio doesn't seem to care-- it 
will still be a mean DX performer either  way. It logged many Aussies, Kiwis, 
Tonga and Fiji for me at Grayland in the  summer, despite the bizarre 
"configuration."
 
     When you return to Victoria, I can retain the  DX-proven RF section of 
the radio, and simply install a new front panel  having a new plastic frame. 
Your veteran Slider E100 should look brand  new.
 
     73 and Have Fun,
 
     Gary (in the Puget Sound deep freeze)

Was  up at 1400UTC there about.... 5AM Hawaii time...
with the now  hand-held-together E100 slider...
to describe the dial as chock-a-block  would be fair:
Truk on 1593, Thailand on 1575, Korea on 1566, Tawian  WYFR
on 1557, Australian on 1548 and so on... Malaysia on 1476 (tent), unid  on 
1314
JOWF on 1440, JJ on 1386, China on 1296, Japan on 1287  and  1278...
something on every channel down to 1143 and 1134 where there were  pile-ups...
1098 Marshall one of the loudest non-Hawaii on the  band...
etc etc etc etc...
Will get a notebook today at an ABC store and  take some notes.
Lots of MP3 recorded last night.

Highly recommend  this QTH for Pacific DXing. Very  quiet...
