A Modified K3 in the 2013 ARRL DX Contest

Hi Joe,

sorry for the trouble accessing the MODS.DK site.

As reported by Arie PA3A, you have to register into the account, it is done to protect it.

I believe mods.dk is the largest web site where you can find a lot of manuals, schematics, mods and other important informations.

I will send you the file to your direct address.

Best 73

Mods.dk is a password protected site. Unregistered users can not
access this file information. It would be far better to post the
information on a public server.

Gian,

I have been using your H-Mode mixer for amost 2 years and it was a great upgrade to my almost perfect K3.

I'm aware of the history of mods.dk. Unfortunately, I have not been
able to access the site reliably ever since they went to registrations
(and am aware of many others in the same situation) to the extent that
I no longer bother trying the site. The same material can often be
found on other much more "user friendly" sites.

And I can't imagine how registering keeps the site safe. There is, AFAICS, no validation.
