October 2007 QST Feedback

Clarification: Two clubs actually sponsored the special event Field Day operation at which Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner made a few contacts [“This Just In,” Sep 2007, p 13], but only one was mentioned. The W3D FD special event was cosponsored by the Sussex ARA, KB3BHL, and the Nanticoke ARC, W3TBG. — tnx Joe Stormer, W3TL

In Figure 2 of “The Doctor is IN” [May 2007, p 52], K1 and K2 upper contacts should be shown as NC.

Table 3 of “Construct a Rugged, Easy to Build, 2 Element Yagi” [Aug 2007, p 33] has an incorrect dimension for the (half) driven element of the 15 meter wire Yagi. The correct dimension is 131.5 inches.

In “The Doctor is IN” [Sep 2007, p 51, top of second column], “likely draw 50 to 60 W,” should be “likely draw 50 to 70 A,” corresponding to Figure 1.

In “Hands-On Radio” [Sep 2007, p 57], the marking “103” actually means 10 × 103 pF, not 1 × 103 pF. The value is 10,000 pF = 10 nF = 0.01 µF. — tnx Louis Carrier, VE2EZD
