In The ARRL Letter of April 19, the article, "New 630-Meter Band Reported 'Very
 Busy'" contained an incorrect call sign. The sentence should have said, "NO3M,
 who also operates as W8CDX, reports eight DXCC entities worked on the new
band." A photo caption in the same article indicated that NO3M was using a
modified Heathkit amplifier for his amateur work on 630 meters. NO3M said the
modified tube amp was one he'd used while operating under an FCC Part 5
Experimental license for generating sufficient power to obtain the 100 W ERP
permitted under that grant. His current solid-state amp for amateur work is
much more modest.
