Re: [Elecraft] OT: The day I found out I was going to be an engineer
Very similar story to mine. When I was 8 years old, my parents gave me a crystal radio kit for Christmas 1972. I built it, ran the antenna wire to a tree outside, and could hear only Top-40 radio from the AM station that was about half a mile away. It was magical. I fell in love with radio to a background of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone," Carol King's "It's Too Late," Elton John's "Rocket Man," and Hot Butter's "Popcorn."

Re: [Elecraft] OT: The day I found out I was going to be an engineer
Oh those days. I got my first crystal radio with the co, stylus, and crystal back in 1966 but could only get one of the super giant AM radio stations, WKBW, out of Buffalo NY spewing 50,000 watts on 1520 from the towers about 5 miles away. Having a problem with my KX3 in that with my KPA100 putting out 100W on a Buckmaster 10-80M OCFD, 100foot center coax feedline. I can hear people but they can never hear me, even when they announce they are running barefoot on 100W also, 20m during day and 40 and 80 at night. Gave up on the Elecraft 3.784 Sunday 9:00 PM Net. Last night, when I tried to transmit on JS8Call, I got a reply on my Windows 11 computer with SignaLink that there was an "error with the audio input." The Notification Sound card output speakers , Input Microphone, and Output speakers on the JS8Call setup were reset to the previous USB Audio Codec. It eliminated the error message but still no responses. Somehow the Codecs might have changed and I corrected the problem (I hope)? But strangely still no acknowledgement or reply from my heart beat inquiry and reply requests on JS8Call. This isn't a problem with the KX3 is it? Also. will the KPA 100 ever suddenly switch on its own from antenna 1 to antenna 2? I now keep a 100W dummy load on the unused one. The KPA100 indicates 90-100 Watts on its lighted linear meter during transmission. Is this reliable to confirm actual output/transmission to the antenna? Or should I join the club of those who get those watt meters to measure the actual power being sent out during transmission? Not for SWR, as I have a Rig Expert AA600 for that. Got a notice from DxEngineering today that the 3000Watt capable Buckmaster 10-80 M antenna is now back in stock for $311.00. I can't go vertical and not enough space for traditional dipole for 40 and 80 meters. I've thought about just going ahead and getting a K4 and KPA1500 to end my frustration, even though I am essentially still a novice. Sheer brute force to make things happen as with back in my college wrestling and football days. 73'sKarl AF5LQOn Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 02:03:53 PM EDT, Dave Kelley wrote: Very similar story to mine.

When I was around the same age, my Father bought the 3-transistor regenerative Short-Wave Radio Kit. A listing of the P-Box kits can be found here: http://my.core.com/~sparktron/pbox.html My Father was a Fireman, so there was no way he would trust me with a soldering iron at such a young age. Instead, he ended up building the kit himself while I watched with great interest. He wound several coils so the receiver could receive several ham bands as he was trying to spark an interest in Amateur Radio, but I don't ever recall hearing any hams with the receiver, just the typical short-wave broadcasts of the time. Several years later, he ended up taking the receiver away from me because the radiated broadband noise interfered with his Swan 500CX. :-) It didn't matter much to me anyway as I never heard much with it. But it was every educational in the sense that the frequency range of the receiver was dictated by the size of the coil wound by the builder. Eventually he gave me his old Hammarlund HQ-140-X, so I hardly ever missed that old Radio Shack regen. Interestingly enough, there's a modernized version of the receiver that employs silicon transistors (2N3904 and 2N3906s) instead of the original germanium jobs. Details can be found here: http://www.netzener.net/images/swradio/swradio.pdf And that old Hammarlund lives on to this day after I "solid-stated it" not long after becoming a ham 40 years ago. 73 de John, KD2BD __ 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] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good Evening, I was pruning begonias when an Oregon Nuthatch landed on the lip of the water basin next to me. Three common species are the Oregon Junco, the Oregon Chickadee, and the Oregon Nuthatch. Each of them has a patch of rusty brown on them. Otherwise they are like their cousins out east. It is starting to smell like fall, the birds are dropping lower in the trees. Squirrels are racing along the highest limbs freeing them of their cones. As they fall they bounce off of every limb beneath. Great dispersal mechanism, but you need a hardhat to walk around. The sun snuck a CME into the flow of earthward ions. It is due tomorrow so there may be a blackout, or there may be more noise, or there could be more QSB. We shall see, it could miss us entirely. Kind of like those cones falling from the sky. I will switch between my 20 m dipole and the 40 meter vertical. The reason I have not used a dipole for the net is because they are too directive. An inverted V grabs a wider swath and sends a weaker signal. One of those engineering trade offs where there are no real winners, only compromise. Please join us on (or near): 14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday) 7047 kHz at z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday) 73, Kevin. KD5ONS - I banged on some code until it mostly works. This is a video of the direct contribution to the electric field of a resonant one-half wavelength horizontal dipole. It starts with a series of still shots taken as I edited, compiled, and ran the application for a sequence of heights above ground. Then I demonstrated the application at yet another height. Finally I recompiled with a vertical (monopole) antenna pattern. I am currently working on code for the reflected portion of the E field. If I map the direct and reflected parts separately, then add them together with a ground reflectivity coefficient, I can model the E field over various soil types. http://bacona.design/video.html topmost video. __ 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

Even though dad fixed some TVs up until I was six or seven, I didn't gain an interest in electronics until after high school at age 17. As a youth I had Lego, Tinker Toys, and Erector Sets. All were educational in various ways. Exposure to various hands-on things will let him find what he likes. Even simple computer programming will be beneficial. 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."

I've watched many other parents do the same, and their kids have all turned out pretty happy! 73, Jim K9YC __ 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
