[Elecraft] [OT]

2017-09-06 Thread David Koch

FYI From SpaceWeather.com:

*X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE:* On Sept. 6, 2017, at 12:02UT, active sunspot 
AR2673 unleashed an X9.3-class solar flare--the strongest solar flare in 
more than a decade. The explosion also hurled a CME into space, and 
possibly toward Earth. Analysis of the event is still underway. Visit 
Spaceweather.com 
 
for updates and more information about the historical context of today's 
remarkable flare.

Re: [Elecraft] Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

2017-08-17 Thread David Koch
A friend of mine, a life-long astronomy buff who sold telescopes and 
other optical instruments, told me he had one chance prior to this one 
to see a total solar eclipse.  But the reports of anticipated mobs and 
traffic were so overwhelming that he decided to stay home.  One of his 
friends, however, went in spite of the reports and later told my friend 
that there was no problem, no traffic, no crowds.  When I scouted a 
possible location for this eclipse I found many places out in "the 
boondocks" and away from advertised locations that, I doubt, will have 
much traffic or crowds.  If I had plans to go, I'd do it anyway, taking 
the recommended amount of food, gasoline, etc.  But I've seen one and 
have photos to prove it.  Wonderful experience, and though I might alter 
my destination location, I wouldn't cancel plans for this eclipse if I 
hadn't experienced one.  And by the way, the one I saw was from a 
location (the only possible one in that region) that was just inside the 
edge of the totality path.  So we had a few seconds less totality time 
than being at the center.  Still a great experience.  You don't have to 
be in the exact center of the path to get the "full" benefit.


73, and good viewing,

Dave W8OV

Russ,

You may want to post that on the CFO list, a CW group started by Jim, 
W9TO (SK), inventor of the TO keyer.  If you are not a member, I am 
willing to post it for you.

Folks:

Not exactly Elecraft, but I am restoring the HA-1 tube keyer copy that I built 
from scratch as a kid in 1970.
The tubes have all lost their markings (and maybe their functionality).
Does anyone have a schematic (or manual)?

Thanks, Russ KD4JO

Re: [Elecraft] A good map to eclipse

2017-05-08 Thread David Koch
That's a good map for Oregon, but for the rest of us, this map allows 
you to zoom and gives times of the eclipse for any location.  If you 
'click' the green rectangle in the upper left corner you'll find a page 
with past and future eclipses.

HiIt's not stand alone but Win4k3 is a full control program that includes a 
terminal for cw, fsk and psk that uses the internal decoding of the k3 kx3 or 
kx2. It also can log from it directly to HRD,  n3fjp or dxlabs,  as well as
