important to note also that in addition to noise problems, non-linear distortion must be dealt with, especially where alternate voice/data using compandored channels is used.
In that instance, the only remedy recommended is the re-design of the subrate data multiplexer using isosynchronous rather than non-synchronous feedback.

Kit Building
By Peter, KA1AXY
This fall, I'd like to try something different. We'll be building the NA5N Desert Ratt 3 Regen Receiver, and we'll be building it from scratch! Parts cost should be in the $10 - $20 range. We'll build on bare PCB material, and all parts necessary for a working receiver will be supplied. I'm still working out the details, but if you're interested in building a shortwave regenerative receiver (6.6 - 15 MHz) from R's, C's, Q's and some wire, let me know!

FARA takes down a tower in Franklin
By Peter, KA1AXY
One of Sharon's co-workers had recently bought a house with an old CB antenna attached. He was generous enough to ask FARA if they wanted it. Sumner, John and I went over to take it down. Unfortunately, the tower and CB quad were pretty old, so John, KA1ALT ended up carting most of it to the metal recycling station, but did end up with a useable boom for his 6-meter beam.
The big thank-you goes to the guy across the street, though. He works for a cable company, and was kind enough to drive his bucket truck over and do most of the work of taking the quad and tower apart (with instructions from FARA members).
