Hi Rich,

No problems. We are many hundreds of miles north and south of the fires here on 
the Monterey Bay. (About at the middle of the state on the coast.). But we are 
seeing some smoke getting blown down here in the last day or so. 

Thanks for the concern! 

Regards,
Eric

[Elecraft] K2/100 Package For Sale

2018-11-10 Thread Kenneth P Alexander
I have a K2/100 for sale.  I acquired it a year ago from another amateur.
He demonstrated it for me and I saw that it worked.  I have not used it
since then.  Included:

- Elecraft K2/100 HF Transceiver with 100W amplifier and RS232 I/O module
- K2DSP internal DSP filter and real-time clock
- KSB2 SSB adapter
- KNB2 noise blanker
- K60XV 60m and transverter adapter
- K160RX 160M module
- External KAT100 automatic antenna tuner

It's in good condition and everything works.  However, as I said I never
sat down and used it.  Instead, I retired and moved to Thailand where I now
live.  I wanted a K2 because it's on the Thai government's short list of
type approved transceivers, i.e., it doesn't cover 6m or 70cm, which aren't
currently legal bands here).  Once I arrived I discovered that I can't ever
get a Thai ham license because Canada doesn't have a reciprocal licensing
agreement with Thailand.  So the K2 is of no further use to me.

The equipment is still in Canada.  My friend VE3EG, Keith is handling the
sale and shipping on my behalf.  You can direct questions to me, but I will
turn things over to Keith once we have ourselves a deal.

Price for the package is Cdn $1,400 (about U.S. $1,060 at current exchange
rates).  Shipping is extra and is based shipping from Toronto to your QTH.

Many thanks and 73!

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

2018-11-10 Thread kevinr

Good Evening,

   It is easier to see through the woods because almost all of the 
leaves have fallen.  The hours we have with which to see those woods has 
diminished.  I can't seem to get things done before dark because it 
starts so early.  Well this has effected the nets.  I plan to run both 
of them earlier than normal.  Instead of keeping the local times and 
changing the UTC numbers I am staying with the Universal time and 
changing the local.  For me that works out to 2 and 4 PM.  4 PM should 
give us enough time to run the 40 meter net before dark.  If those times 
don't work we'll have to try something else.  From what I heard there 
was a measure on the California ballot to eliminate changing the clock 
twice a year. Folks in Oregon and Washington are waiting on those 
results.  If all goes well, and the US Congress agrees, we may not have 
spring ahead and fall back again within a few years.  One can dream.



Please join us tomorrow on:

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (2 PM PST Sunday)
  7047 kHz at z Monday (4 PM PST Sunday)

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS

[Elecraft] W6SFM Bug Roundup Event is Next Weekend!

2018-11-10 Thread W6SFM

Announcing W6SFM's BUG ROUNDUP

The Samuel F. Morse Amateur Radio Club, a Sacramento, California based 
CW enthusiast club wanted a special time to bring bug operators together 
on the air. In the same spirit as ARRL's Straight Key Night, 
participants are encouraged to make simple, conversational, 
“chewing-the-fat” QSOs using their bug type key. This is an opportunity 
to exercise, share and exhibit your personalized fist. This is NOT a 
contest. However, there is a very easy and quick requested signup form 
that can be found at https://w6sfm.com/bug-roundup/. Once you have read 
the page, and optionally registered for the event simply Call "CQ BR" so 
folks know you are a Bug Roundup Participant.  So lets grab that*bug*, 
clean those contacts, and let’er fly! We want to hear that “Banana Boat 
/ Lake Erie Swing" or that commercial KPH/WCC quality fist.


*Reserve the date!*The event begins on Saturday November 17th (00:00 
UTC) and concludes Sunday Nov. 19th (23:59 UTC), 2018
That's 4:00 PM Friday (Nov. 16th) afternoon until  3:59 PM Pacific Time 
Sunday (Nov. 19th LOCAL Time).


For more information, to register your station, and to help assist in 
spotting, potentially increasing QSOs, an*On-line chat window*link can 
be found near the bottom of Bug Roundup home page located at 
https://w6sfm.com/bug-roundup/ We hope to hear you all on the air! 73,


W6SFM

Re: [Elecraft] Spam filtering

2018-11-10 Thread Walter Underwood
That did used to happen with brute-force algorithms.

For the past 15 years or more, spam filtering has been an arms race. Spammers 
automiatically open a bunch of email accounts on a free provider, then have 
scripts try different variations until something would get through. Then they 
hammer the service with that spam until it was blocked. Then try again. Spam 
can evolve hour-by-hour to find weaknesses in the algorithms.

Similar stuff happens with spiders for web search engines. I’m glad to not be 
in that business any more.

[Elecraft] Spam filtering

2018-11-10 Thread Dauer, Edward
Before the authorities close this useful but somewhat-OT thread, I would share 
one anecdote told to me to be true, though I can't personally vouch for it, 
about an unnamed university twenty-plus years ago.  The IT department decided 
to install filters that would block both incoming and outgoing e-mail that 
contained offensive language.  So they made up a dirty words list, not telling 
any of the clients what was on it or even that it existed.  It was discovered 
when the Political Science Department got no responses to its e-blast 
announcement of a conference titled something like "Contemporary Issues in 
Capitalism, Socialism, and Communitarianism."   

The word Socialism contains the word Cialis.  

Or so the story goes.

[Elecraft] FS: KXV3A Transverter Interface

2018-11-10 Thread Doug Shields
Hello everyone,

 I have a KXV3A upgrade kit for sale.  I just put the KXV3B in my radio
so this is no longer used.  I have had the KXV3A in my K3 for about two
years with zero problems.  It has provided the IF output for a P3 and
connections to the K144XV 2 meter transverter.  It comes with the 2 board
set, cable, all hardware, and manual.  $110 shipped to any address in the
US.  I will ship internationally, but the price will be $110 plus postage
costs.  I can accept Paypal, check, USPS money order or cash.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 new software 1.87

2018-11-10 Thread Ned Mountain WC4X
John,

I just went thru this and reverted back to the original fan profile with the
^FP0 command using the KPA 1500 utility.  What is not mentioned in the
release notes is that after you execute this command, you must power cycle
the KPA 1500.  After that you will have the new firmware with the old fan
profile.

 I have a KAT3 100 watt automatic antenna tuner for sale.  It was
working perfectly when it was removed from my K3 last night.  I just added a

Interesting reaction to having a “grant permission” spam filter. It takes
just a minute or less to verify the email  you’re sending from isn’t junk.
I
don’t see how a small inconvenience could be a deal breaker. But to each
his/her own.

My isp screens out most spam, but I had to go to a more robust spam filter
after I got on some spammer list that used emails that defeated typical
spam
screens. I was getting over 300 spam emails a day. I’ve reduced that
substantially but still see them flow through on occasion.
