The most successful contest run to date 116 contacts in CQ-WPXX-SSB nets close to 32,00 points. Unfortunately it came at a cost. The TS120S speaker is no longer functioning. The radio puts out it's full 100w on carrier but, no audio is coming from the speaker a sign that most likely it has been damaged. At the present the radio is being sold as a tech special on the Ontario Swap Shop and also a search is on for the replacement rig.Now people might say hey why not just replace the part yourself. Being that I am a white cane that makes such work tricky and also costly as I would have to pay for the part and probably the labor to put the the speaker in. It is better at this point just to replace the radio. So for now I am off the air but, I plan on it being a short time. Too bad as I think I could have made 200 contacts in the test. But, c'est la vie.
