[Elecraft] OT - FS: Begali cw paddle
Members on this list almost universally embrace CW, so I thought I would offer this to the list before going to another venue. I sometimes can't respond immediately so I will make a list of interested parties and get back to you as I can. I have a new Begali "Pearl" key for sale. Will send picture and details on request. It's too much key for my arthritis which tends to send out characters before I can stop it 🙂. I paid $338; sell for $300 plus postage. It's everything people say that it is. Same key as shown here: See: https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-product?id=8225 Cheers, Doug W5JV Visit https://www.qrz.com/db/W5JV for some great vacuum tube finds. __ 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] KPA500 Voltage?
My KPA500 is showing 57-58 VDC at 450-500 watts out, and 71-72 VDC on rx. Is this normal or should I move up one tap?

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Voltage?
I'd move it up one tap as long as it does NOT EXCEED 85V at receive. Higher voltage not only gives you better output but also cleaner. That matters too. 73, Rick nk7i On 11/12/2022 10:25 AM, Gordon LaPoint wrote: My KPA500 is showing 57-58 VDC at 450-500 watts out, and 71-72 VDC on rx.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good Evening,   After a snowy week it is nice to see the sun again. On Wednesday a bird got my attention from about ten feet away. He gave me enough time to look him up on three websites. I watched a Red-breasted sapsucker make his characteristic row of holes around a tree. First one tree, then the next, all within easy view so I could check his field marks. Woodpecker #8 on this list https://wildlifeinformer.com/woodpeckers-in-oregon/ While I have not seen him before, I have heard his call; part of which mimics the CW you hear the day after a contest in any rhythmic sound. You know it is CW, you are just not sure which language they are using :)   The sun has some large, dark spots. A pinhole camera should resolve them onto a plane surface. There is a moderate amount of solar flux, the auroral oval is active. A few of the spots could flare but any CME would miss us. However, if an X class flare erupts it blanks the hemisphere facing the sun no matter where the spot is placed. I wonder if radio communication is even possible near a class O star. We're lucky to be orbiting a more modest star. Please join us on (or near): 14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)  7047 kHz at 0100z Monday (5 PM PST Sunday) 73,  Kevin. KD5ONS - A strange game, the only winning move is not to play. __ 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
