[qrp-canada] Maplecon reservations..general question-comments

[Earl Andrews]

Just wondering if we have to make any special arrangements for a campsite. I checked the web site and Ive printed out my pay pal receipt of $40.00 I made. Does that include a campsite for a tent or do I have to reserve one with the park directly?
I wonder if we are getting something in the snail mail..a package? or on the computer. Maybe I misfiled mine..if so..sorry for the wasted bandwidth. 
I will be bringing my modified Ten Tec Argonaut 509 with the N3ZI version II dds vfo. I have been working on it during these hot days and it works OK (very stable of course)..but the Argonaut now only puts out about 1 watt cw on 80 meters and less as you go up in frequency. 
I think the drive is insufficient so  I will be scratch building a dds amplifier for it in the next week or so.  I will be putting a new switch  on the 509 so that I can output the dds vfo separately through amplifier/filters ect for use as a general purpose signal generator (bench signal generator) and to act as an external dds  vfo for older rigs such as the HW 16 ect. 
I have an idea for an antenna as well. Kind of a different concept for an HF dipole (broadband with some losses) and I will be bringing that along as well for the heck of it. 73 earl ve3ab
