[Elecraft] Flash mob experiment, 21040 +/- 5 kHz, now until 2100 Z

2017-07-15 Thread Wayne Burdick 
Hi all,

Based on info from dxmaps.com, 15 meters should be open. Hearing a few signals.

If you’d like to participate in a 15 meter “flash mob” experiment, please drop 
by on 21040 +/- 5 kHz. Initially, callsigns ending in A-L listen, M-Z call CQ 
(myself included).

Not a contest, no rules, no award credit, just an excuse to get on the air.

73,
Wayne

Wayne, the NAQP RTTY contesting going on... it started at 1800Z today.  It
goes for 12 hours.  There are a lot of signals on 15 meters, about half as
many as I'm seeing on 20 meters here in Utah.

A  100-watt output transmitter (with a 4-400 final!) and antenna tuner, in a 
6-foot rack. Equivalent to the tx section of my K3. Talk about "battleship 
construction!"
Lots of knobs for those who complain that the K3 has too few.

Hi Drew,

Looks like like you nailed that one. The meter is clearly visible near the
center of the rack. Before this OT thread is shut down, can you let us know
what an "SWR Balance Meter" is?

Re: [Elecraft] Interesting meter

2017-07-15 Thread Dave Sublette 
I was an ET in the navy.  We had a week of school on that rig.  The drawers 
were on rollers and rolled out for maintenance, then tilted so you could get to 
the bottom.  You had to reach back along the sides and press a release to get 
the drawer to tilt for maintenance.  The only trouble was, the High Voltage was 
on a terminal strip next to the button.  Woe be unto you if your fingers 
extended too far under the chassis!!

Max,

 I know the feeling.  We're also in the middle of the CQ VHF Contest 
:).


Wayne,

 Thanks for the nice qso on 15 :).  It was a nice little break from 
spinning the beams and working the noise on 6 & 2 :).  SubRx in the K3 
makes it easy to listen omni and beam at the same time :).

Nothing heard near Mobile, AL. Called CQ a few times but got no response. Most 
recent digisonde data shows MUF of 16 MHz. That might be why we're not hearing 
much.

Re: [Elecraft] Interesting meter

2017-07-15 Thread Drew AF2Z 
Oh, I don't have any experience with that monster, but I believe the swr 
balance is tuned as follows:


There are several SWR meter switch positions on the panel, say 10:1, 
5:1, and 2:1. In the 10:1 position if the SWR is less than 10 the meter 
will be in the green; if more than 10 it will be in the red. Once you 
get it into the green you'd switch to the 5:1 position and again tune 
for the green; then the same in the 2:1 position for minimum green 
reading. Whew!


(Personally, I prefer to leave my own manual SWR meter on Reflected 
Power. If there are less than a few watts reflected then good enough for 
govt work, haha... No switching, calibrating, etc.)

[Elecraft] New Digital Mode and K3S Frequency Accuracy

2017-07-15 Thread Bob McGraw K4TAX 
I know many of you are a CW die hard, but have you tried the new digital 
mode FT-8?   It is from Joe Taylor, WSJT-X version 1.8.0-rc1.   Easy to 
get up and running.   Specially a breeze with the K3S and its USB 
communications. It makes JT-65 and other modes appear like watching 
an Oak tree grow.   The T/R times are 15 seconds and it decodes about 20 
dB deeper than previous versions.


It also has a very nice receiver calibration mode.   I find that on most 
bands my K3S is reported to have less than 1/2 Hz  error. {Big smile!}

[Elecraft] Really OT: Inside-the-vehicle HF antennas (possible bonus points)

2017-07-15 Thread Wayne Burdick 
I’m dealing with one of the last unsolved problems in amateur radio: how to 
operate HF mobile without an antenna. At least not one that, according to some 
vehicle co-owners/spouses, would defile your new sedan.

For 10 bonus points that have only philosophical value, your challenge is to 
create an invisible mobile antenna and actually make a QSO on it. For practical 
purposes (i.e., not frying the car or passengers) let’s say the maximum power 
level is 10 watts. The bands of interest are 40-10 meters.

Here are some ideas I’m considering:

- mag loop in the rear window
- thin wire loop on a roof rack 
- gamma match to the entire roof
- surface acoustic waves
- prayer

Other ideas?

Yes, I know this violates the laws of physics and bioethics. And I fully expect 
the car to generate debilitating levels of RFI. But isn’t this the least you’d 
expect from an unsolved problem? 

Thanks in advance,

Wayne

Re: [Elecraft] Really OT: Inside-the-vehicle HF antennas (possible bonus points)

2017-07-15 Thread Kevin der Kinderen 
Have you considered an isotropic antenna? I understand it is an ideal
antenna that radiates in all directions and has no physical form. Sounds
like the perfect stealth antenna to me. I've seen them advertised in the
back of True Detective magazines alongside the x-ray glasses.

I was thinking a towed array like a submarine uses. They are pretty
stealthy but you might need to register them separately as a towed vehicle.

Wait - that's an idea. Trailer hitch and set up a trailer as a mobile
antenna farm.

You may want to have some minimum distance required for the QSO.   Two KC2s and 
a short length of coax would do the trick between two cars parked next to each

2017-07-15 Thread Alan 
One of my colleagues at HP told me he once made a CB antenna by feeding 
the front window of his car between the rear-view mirror and the dash. 
Basically a big slot antenna.  He claimed it worked great.  I don't 
remember how he said he matched it to 50 ohms.

Yes, I know this violates the laws of physics and bioethics. And I fully expect 
the car to generate debilitating levels of RFI. But isn’t this the least you’d 
expect from an unsolved problem?

Thanks in advance,

[Elecraft] W2 Software

2017-07-15 Thread Michael Walker 
To those who write software (not me.. .I just use it).

Is there any chance that we could have a 'compact' version of the W2
software display just like we have for the KPA500?

Just a thought.

Re: [Elecraft] New Digital Mode and K3S Frequency Accuracy

2017-07-15 Thread Fred Jensen 
Sorry, can't resist.  15 sec vs 47 sec is a 68% decrease in QSO time.  
So, I only have to wait for 32% of the paint to dry? [:-)

I know many of you are a CW die hard, but have you tried the new 
digital mode FT-8?   It is from Joe Taylor, WSJT-X version 1.8.0-rc1. 
Easy to get up and running.   Specially a breeze with the K3S and its 
USB communications. It makes JT-65 and other modes appear like 
watching an Oak tree grow.   The T/R times are 15 seconds and it 
decodes about 20 dB deeper than previous versions.


It also has a very nice receiver calibration mode.   I find that on 
most bands my K3S is reported to have less than 1/2 Hz  error. {Big

 I know the feeling.  We're also in the middle of the CQ VHF

Wayne,

 Thanks for the nice qso on 15 :).  It was a nice little break 
from spinning the beams and working the noise on 6 & 2 :). SubRx in 
the K3 makes it easy to listen omni and beam at the same time :).

Hi all,

Based on info from dxmaps.com, 15 meters should be open. Hearing a few
signals.

If you’d like to participate in a 15 meter “flash mob” experiment, 
please
drop by on 21040 +/- 5 kHz. Initially, callsigns ending in A-L 
listen, M-Z

call CQ (myself included).

Not a contest, no rules, no award credit, just an excuse to get on

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

2017-07-15 Thread kev...@coho.net 

Good Evening,

The dry season must be here; at least it has not rained in over two 
weeks.  Only the morning fog has relieved us from the sight of the sun.  
Not having it for six months a year makes us sensitive to light :)  The 
population of small aircraft has increased.  I live just below the 
aircraft beacon for the area which gets used by all types: commercial 
and military craft as well as the propeller driven and rotary wing types.


Our sun decided to show us a burst of activity.  Only a day ago it sent 
a stream of ions our way.  Hopefully the reactivated Heaviside layer 
will give us some good propagation.


Please join us tomorrow on:
   14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7045 kHz at z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] Really OT: Inside-the-vehicle HF antennas (possible bonus points)

2017-07-15 Thread Michael Chowning 
Spouse proof mobile antenna on that new car:

1) go to a customizing shop, and have them remove your sunroof
2) take the sunroof to a custom glass shop, have them lay out one layer of 
shatterproof glass
3) you lay out appropriate length thin wire on the glass according to the 
frequencies you desire; be sure to provide wire lead out
4) have the glass fabricators carefully sandwich another layer of glass
5) take glass sunroof back to the customizing shop to be re-installed
6) for extra bonus points, remember most sunroof tilt up a few degrees, giving 
it a modicum of directionality
7) for a whole lot of bonus points, tell the customizing shop you want the 
sunroof to pop up a foot above and for you to be able to rotate it at least a 
180 degrees, since there is electrical power, you could even motorized it.

Now all you have to do, is get permission to rack mount your radio in place of 
the passenger seat.
Seriously, here is a link from Ohio State Unversity on experimental antennas in 
clothes of the military.

Would there be a way to repurpose the defrost wiring that is sandwiched
between the layers of glass in some back windows and use that thin wire for
your antenna?

Re: [Elecraft] Really OT: Inside-the-vehicle HF antennas (possible bonus points)

2017-07-15 Thread Bob McGraw K4TAX 
Regarding the defrost heat element, there's two terminals, one on either 
side.  However with the resistance of the defrost wiring in the window, 
it might be more like a dummy load.  Of course one could just feed one 
side against the auto body, unless one drives a Corvette which is mostly 
plastic.   g


Seems I recall a DDRR antenna which was a low profile, roof mountable 
antenna.   The 40M version would be a bit large with a diameter of some 
9 ft, although one might reduce the size and still make a 40M - 10M of 
reasonable dimensions with reasonable efficiency.
