*Steve, AK6E happened to hear my call up on 40 and with out knowing anything about the FMT, measured my
frequency with his new FT-2000 and sent in a very good reading.

Although the spread is over 1 Hz, the calculated average (3565005.465Hz) based on 384 samples came out only .032 Hz above Marvin's transmit frequency. I used the difference method and my FT-1000d and the HP-3336b (clocked by GPS) this week, instead of the HP-3586b SLM and it's built in tracking generator.
Honor Roll: (.1 Hz or better on two bands or more)
Three bands - W3CSW, W6OQI
Two bands - K6OQK, VE2AZX, W1PW
Stations copying the West coast run to .1Hz or better.
WB0UIR, W1PW, K5CM, K6OQK, W3JW
Transmitting equipment used by K5CM for this FMT:
A HP-Z3801 GPS clocks a HP-3336B. A small 10 db transistor amp follows and drives a 12BY7 / pair 6146 in a TS-830. Then to a Drake L4B at 300 watts output except on 30 meters where the power is 75 watts.
Antennas:
80 - Cage Dipole (favors East, West, and North)
40 - Dipole (favors East, West)
30 - Dipole (favors East, North, West)
20, 17 - 4 element SteppIR in Bi Direction Mode (East/West)
Current W6OQI FMT transmitting equipment:
My transmitting setup consists of a HP Z3801 clocking a HP 3336B which drives a Johnson Viking I transmitter, the output of which is attenuated by a 6 dB attenuator, to then drive an Icom PW-1 amplifier to about 500 Watts. The antenna is an inverted Vee which favors north and south from the Los Angeles area.
Note: Because I put the results up quickly, there will be mistakes, so don't hesitate to point them out quickly.
Thanks to all that participated.
