You may have missed the point Jim. 100 watts is 13 dB stronger
than 5 watts. If most QRP stations like myself found that CQ-ing
was simply not effective and did SP only, the universe of stations
to work is FAR less.
Hi Bill,
Congratulations on your excellent showing on Field Day. With that many
QSOs, I'm sure you'll do very well in your division. Yes, FD is a bit
of work, but it's also a great chance to get outdoors and try your hand
at emergency communication setup. I think you'll be back next year ;)
Maybe it should be something more along the lines of ...
IT YAKS (Icom-TenTec Yaesu-Alinco-Kenwood-SGC) ... what most appliance
operators do with their commercial radios
or... ITS a YAK (big hairy animal used as a beast of burden - not to be
confused with some ham radio operators)
or... maybe

OK, this is off-topic, so I'll keep it brief.
AMSAT-OSCAR Echo was launched from the Baikonur Cosomodrome in Kazakhstan on
2004 June 29 at 0630 UTC, inserted into orbit at 0645, and first
communications were established at 1452 when it passed over the US in range
of the command station(s).

connect both to the KAT2 or KAT100 at the same time, since both ATUs
have dual antenna jacks. You can then quickly test

Well, Martin, it was in fact David, G4DMP's frequency, as I hade

Hi Chas,
Third year in a row with the K2, a deep cycle battery and the home
antenna farm.
540 QSOS... all CW in 15 hours of operation.
But...your home antenna farm (3 stacked Skyhawks, a 40m
Yagi, 3 el SteppIR, etc) must be worth ~10 dB over temporary wire
setups. A single 180' wire
FYI: KX1 truly portable - a couple of frames of the KX1 in Field Day

Where did you have T-R set in the menu? At T-R = 0.00, the receiver is
unmuted very fast, which can cause a small receive artifact with certain
narrow crystal filter and DSP settings. But we recommend using T-R = 0.01
or higher

Hi Ken!
Another option is cheap an lightweight.
I tried this with my K1.
As ground i used 2 wires of 13 feet each and 50 feet as longwire direct to
the k1 .
I used bnc-UHF adapter and a bananastick in one end of the longwire.
The 6-8 feet nearest to the k1 was very little sensitive to nearby
Yes, I finally change Q7 Q8 because I shorten by accident the base
and the collector while mesuring with my probe now It's back online
and alive
But, there is a but, for those who experienced a problem similar to
that one also check R50 even with good Q7 Q8 (PA transistor),
Nice work, Bob (et al)! Thanks for the report.
