VKFF Hunter Award 1350 unique references, 27th May2026.

I was pleased to receive this award. My operating conditions are a noisy suburban noise floor and a long wire antenna, US measurement, fifty one feet, fed through a 9 to 1 unun (9:1). The antenna is near vertical. I usually operate the transceiver at 25 to 100 watts. My contacts are about 75% ssb and cw about 25%. My Icom 7300 reference oscillator is off frequency, making CW impossible and I have not been able to adjust it satisfactorily. Section 13 of the Manual describes how do this with assistance from WWVH on 15.000.000 Mhz and a marker signal generated within the Icom 7300. The aim is to zero beat the two signals. I have tried a few times unsuccessfully. I would appreciate a discussion with any amateur who has made this adjustment. My contact details are in QRZ.COM
