[Elecraft] Interesting QSO
I just finished a QSO with a QRP station in Bend, Oregon on 40 m that was memorable for a couple of reasons: First, that we managed it all despite awful atmospheric noise and poor propagation, and second, that it highlighted many the K4's tools for digging out weak signals. By the end of the QSO I was configured like this: - diversity mode (wire antenna on main RX, vertical on sub) - 100 Hz primary RX filter bandwidth - 50 Hz APF (audio peaking filter) - NB & NR on - CW center pitch dialed down to 400 Hz That final setting may have been optimum for my hearing range (we all lose higher-pitched response as we get older), but it also seemed to keep the week signal highlighted during static crashes. I'll be experimenting with this on DX signals. 73, Wayne N6KR - Elecraft...Full-Contact Ham Radio www.elecraft.com QSO Today Ham Expo gold sponsor; March 13-14, 2021 www.qsotodayhamexpo.com __ 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] This weekend's Ham Expo features small-group discussion rooms (audio/video)
Hi all, One great feature of this weekend's QSO Today ham expo is the "Lounge" area. In Elecraft's lounge, you'll be able to choose from among several demo/technical discussion rooms, each with a product theme. Each room will have a maximum of just eight participants, and will be hosted by a member of our team. Eric, myself, and other design and support engineers will be staffing these sessions throughout the weekend. We expect this new format to recreate some of the more social aspects of in-person trade shows. And you won't need to mask-up, no matter where you live :) In addition there will be many new presentations and other materials available at our virtual booth.

Re: [Elecraft] PSK31 with a KX2
Gang, Well, I solved the no decode problem with my KX2. I was not decoding much PSK31 because there is not much around to decode. Since I was active on digital modes, things have evolved (imagine that!). Once I boned up on the fact that most of the warbling one hears is FT8, and set up a program for same, I'm decoding lots of signals. I am truly a dinosaur. Thanks to all and stay well!
