[Elecraft] RE, XG3 and KX3 Development
I too have used my XG3 a lot, besides the 6M beacon experiment in June and July. Recently I used it to tune up the receive section of my W1GHZ 222MHz transverter at 222.1 MHz and the receive section of my SWL Retro 75. It is a very, very cool tool! 73, Doug W7RDP __ 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
[Elecraft] W7RDP/B on the air from Tam Valley
OK guys the XG3 (without boots) is on the air from CM87rv aimed a Mt. Daiblo. My K3 tells me the XG3 is at 50.06159. 73, Doug W7RDP/6 __ 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
[Elecraft] W7RDP/B down for relocating
Guys, the XG3 beacon will be off the air until 6/29 and then will be located in Tamalpais Valley, CA for a week or so aimed at Mt. Diablo. I also need to put the weather proofing device into its intended service, covered cat box ;-) 73, Doug W7RDP __ 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
[Elecraft] W7RDP/B XG3 experiment
Changed code speed to 25WPM, aimed beam north, and now my K3/10 with the 5ppm TXCO tells me the frequency is 50.06158 MHz. 73, Doug W7RDP __ 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
[Elecraft] XG3 beacon freq 50.06157MHz
I moved the beacon up a little to resolve a local conflict, beam now headed east. 73, Doug W7RDP __ 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
[Elecraft] W7RDP/B 50.025 MHz XG3 Beacon heading change to West
OK at 1625 UTC June 22, 2011 the beacon direction is now due West. My info on QRZ.com is good and the site will give you the distance and bearing from your QTH to my QTH. I am 1.2 miles due north of Beaver Lake in Sammamish, WA. I have a Parr 6M stressed Moxon about 30' agl and am at the 500' curve asl. If someone wants me to aim the antenna in a different direction just give a shout via e-mail direct, the rotator is powered by norwegian steam ;-) 73, Doug W7RDP __ 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
[Elecraft] W7RDP/B now on 50.061
OK now in the beacon sub band as per FCC regs. I have weather proofed the rig using an upside down virgin cat box (for now). Still aimed west. 73, Doug W7RDP __ 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
[Elecraft] XG3 6M beacon W7RDP/B on the air
After corresponding with Wayne a little today, I have my XG3 running a 0dBm into a Parr 6M stressed Moxon aimed South at about 45' agl, CN87xo, just east of Seattle. The frequency set on the XG3 is 50.025MHz, my K3/10 thinks it is a little lower but not by much. The XG3 is set to send 5 seconds of 0dBm tone, then W7RDP/B at 15 wpm CW, then 10 seconds of tone at 0dBm, repeating every 60 seconds. One thing I found out is to add a word space before the call otherwise the first letter is truncated, and I added one after just in case. 73, Doug W7RDP __ 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
[Elecraft] XG3 6M beacon W7RDP/B on the air
OK guys, my K3/10 with the 5ppm TXCO reads the XG3 freq as 50.02496, very close to 50.025. I have the antenna pointed south, I am at 500' asl here 21 miles east of Seattle. I will have to dig into EMFRD to find the 10dB 6M amp, that I need to build for my KK7B 6M signal source anyway ;-) I think the point to this exercise is to find useful employment for all those XG3s out there that are otherwise unemployed. Lets get more beacons on the air. I get e-mail from the reflector via digest so if you want a real time response from me, e-mail me direct. 73, Doug W7RDP __ 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

[Elecraft] K3 how often do you use it?
Every day, sometimes 24 hours per day running WSPR.

[Elecraft] WSPR 2.0 released
Don't know if this is old news by now, but K1JT has just released WSPR 2.0. Some very neat features including CAT control for K3s and other rigs, should help keep me from reporting wrong frequencies ;-) http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wspr.html Like all endeavors RTFM applies here, very good pdf file instructions. 73, Doug W7RDP __ 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
