[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Report
3806 kHz, 9PM ET Sunday (0200Z Monday), although we met on 3824 kHz this evening (see discussion below). Thanks to the following check ins (w) and relays (rel): Call State Radio/AmpName 1 N8SBE MIK4D/KPA500 Dave (w),(op) 2 K8NU OHK4D/KPA1500 Carl (rel),(w) 3 WM6P GAK4D/KPA1500 Steve (w) 4 W9PCS WIK4D/KPA500 Paul (rel),(w) 5 W4NDK NCFTdx10 Nate (w) 6 K1NW RIK4D/KPA500 Brian (w) 7 WN9A INK4D/KPA1500 Larry (w) 8 KD9YVJ ILFT710Ross (w) 9 K2RIG NJK4/Mercury III Bill (w) 10 K1DIH CTK4D/Tokyo Hi-Power Brian (w) 11 WX0MIK MNFT991/Collins 30L-1 Mike (w) 12 KC3TIU PAG90/G125 Bob (w) We had a total of 12 check ins this week (including the NCS). Signals came in strong after the initial check ins, then faded a bit during the 73 round. Thanks to the relay stations for the assists this evening. Very nice hearing from the new check ins and in particular from KD9YVJ who was using the gutters on his house for his antenna and the first check in from WX0MIK using a Collins 30L-1 amplifier! I hope to see all of you again. The net concluded at 9:42 PM ET. We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage anyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to try to check in next week. Also, a couple of stations have complained of a 'roaring' noise (like a foreign broadcast jamming station) on our planned frequency of 3806 kHz, so I decided to find an alternate frequency this evening, which is how we ended up on 3824 kHz. Brian, K1NW, reported that 3803 kHz was free of the noise, and that the folks that meet there just prior to 9pm ET have been closing their net promptly at 9pm, so I propose we try 3803 kHz next week. As a reminder, if you go to https://netlogger.org at the net starting time and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you should see the frequency we are using that evening, if we must QSY again due to busy frequencies. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ 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 Report
Good Evening, Conditions were good on both bands. Mild QSB with a little noise, but signals popped through nicely. Temperature reports were also mild.

No sound at all. Is there a hidden setting somewhere to disable it, or is it likely I've blown the speaker? No settings that I can find in the KX3 manual. Are you sure nothing is plugged into the PHONES jack? From the manual: "Plugging in headphones disables the speaker and its amplifier." Can you hear audio if you plug in your headset? Maybe you can open up the KX3 and check to be sure the jack's contacts are making contact when the headset is unplugged. 73, Mike N4CF __ 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] KX3 - No sound from internal speaker
I set up yesterday for field day, which I operate using a headset. At some point in setting up I realized my internal speaker is not working. No sound at all. Is there a hidden setting somewhere to disable it, or is it likely I've blown the speaker? Headphones work fine. __ 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 80M SSB Net Announcement
Please join us on 3806kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY WHICH MOVES US INTO THE GENERAL CLASS BAND)plus or minus QRM (see the Netlogger discussion, below), 9PM ET Sunday (0200Z Monday). Note that the net stays on the same local time, when we switch back and forth to/from Daylight time, so the UTC time changes, but not the local time. Now that we have moved into Standard time and have shorter daylight hours, 80M should be stronger now during the winter. Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE. I'm using Netlogger, so if you go to netlogger.org and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you will be able to see the exact frequency we've settled on for the evening. If we find 3806 kHz busy, we will move UP the band a few kHz, so we can stay in the 80M US General class band. Hope to see you this evening on the net. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ 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
