[Elecraft] 2014 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt
On behalf of the New Jersey QRP Club, I'd like to thank all of you who participated in the 2014 Skeeter Hunt. A good time was had by all! We had a record 159 QRPers sign up for Skeeter numbers and so far 30 log summaries have been submitted. An event like this cannot be a success without your participation, and it seems like we're getting that and more - we're growing in size! Don't fret about submitting your log as you still have time - but not forever! Log submissions are due when the clock strikes Midnight on Sunday, August 24th turning into Monday, Augyst 25th - that's two whole weeks after the event. You can send your summaries, soapbox comments and photos to w...@arrl.net And if you didn't have a Skeeter number, but you joined in on the fun, send in your summary anyway. We've already received two submissions from Non-Skeeters and the highest scoring wingless one will also receive a certificate, Thanks again! 73 de Larry W2LJ Skeeter #13 --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Failure
Sounds like the old list of: if, and, or, nor, =, etc. we use in coding. If you do not do it correctly and in order, things do not come out well. Just more complexities to deal with - by habit: KAT500 on, KPA500 on, then the K3 (which brings up the P3) on. Reverse order when shutting down. I have full battery backup, hence no sudden problems during a power outage. Not as simple as a Swan 175 with just a few controls, but that is the price of progress(???).

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Emergency Comms.
Thank you all for your responses to this request, all of which were useful. The camp is now over. We had many visitors to our section and at least 1 participant a day who wants to go further and take the first exam in our (3 tier) system. That included 2 adult leaders who had been considering it. 73 de David, M0XDF On Jul 29, 2014, at 12:08 PM, David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: > Please forgive this off-topic post - I’m hoping some of your can provide some > info. > I’m about to take part in an International camp for Guides and Scouts in the > UK, we will have 7000+ participants from all over the world.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Failure
You don't need to have the KAT500 switched on before switching on the K3 - all you need to do is have the KAT500's power supply on (and connected to it) before you switch the K3 on. I power my K3 and KAT500 from the same 13.8v power supply so that when I switch on the K3 the KAT500 already has power. I can then switch on the KAT500 if I need it or not if I don't. 73 to all Geoff G3UCK -Original Message- From: Jim N7US Sent: Monday, August 11, 2014 2:14 AM I just made the configuration change in the KAT500 program to always turn it on when 12V is applied. It now comes on when my master power switch turns on the small Astron P/S for accessories and my RS-35M for the K3. I turn on the K3 with the front panel switch after that. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] Some "Cool" heat sink info.
Thanks for interesting information. You have wisely chosen to post the information here.
