In “Getting to Know Your Radio, The Next Step — ‘Sound Card’ Modes” [Jun 2007, p 55], the discussion on RTTY mentioned 750 Hz frequency shift between MARK and SPACE. Current HF practice is to use a shift of 170 Hz.
In “Are You Using the Right-Sized Fuse?” [Oct 2007, p 32], there is a typo in the first column of the sidebar “Calculating Voltage Drop.” The text should read: “…the resistance of each conductor is 0.009987…” not 0.0009987. — tnx Robert Kluck, N4IJS
Due to a data processing error, the Sponsored Plaque Table included with the 2007 ARRL International DX Phone Contest Results in the October 2007 issue (page 98) was incorrect. This is the corrected table. We have also added four sponsored DX CW sponsored plaques that were omitted from the initial data entry process. We apologize for the error.
