Re: [Elecraft] Kansas Snowstorm
It sounds like she could be a future CW Ops member! And the deal with the neighbors isn't bad either. Hi Hi. Jack - N2JT CW Ops #640 On 2/21/2013 11:27 AM, Jim Sheldon wrote: Been a couple years without much winter snow (or summer rain for that matter). The old adage When it rains, it pours! certainly fit this one. It started about 8:00 yesterday morning and dumped around 5 inches in the first round, another inch in the second and then overnight it dumped another 6 inches of snow. I think there was some rain in the second round as well so not absolutely sure the total. The rainfall equivalent was just about 1.4 inches. How does this relate to ham radio? I have a heart pacemaker so not allowed to shovel all that snow and my wife went out last night to start on it. Our neighbors came over and shoveled the walk for us. Driveway cleared about 7 p.m. and after a nice bit of thanks and conversation, everyone went in. Still not related to ham radio? This morning we woke up about 4:30 to the sound of thunder! Yes, thundersnow! When we finally got up around 7:30, you couldn't tell the driveway had even been cleared last night. Now, comes the good part - wifey went out again and started to clear the driveway again. This time, another set of neighbors, two houses down that had just moved in a month or so ago were out doing their own driveway. They made a deal with my wife that if she would watch their two year old daughter for a while, they'd shovel our drive too. She agreed and I was on 40 CW when they brought the little girl over. She was fascinated listening to the CW and spent the whole time here in the shack with me intently listening to the CW activity. She didn't even want to watch cartoons on TV. Her dad said that was the first time she ever settled down immediately at someone else's house and wasn't fussy at all. Especially this early in the morning. Might have started a new ham career, who knows? Anyway, this might be the first case of a K3 babysitting a two year old and coming out unscathed - she never tried to grab the radio knobs, key or anything, just sat there and smiled the whole time. My only regret is that I didn't have my wife take pictures of the whole episode. Might have to get the neighbors to bring her over again and see what happens.

[Elecraft] Birth Announcement: KAT500K 0313
After many months of waiting, KAT500K #313 arrived this past Monday. Due to work schedule and other commitments, it gestated on a table until today. She was born at 1747Z today (shipping box opened) and started crawling at 1934Z (assembly complete). By 2030Z she was walking and running (all antennas tuned across the bands) and now she is happily playing (it works beautifully). The KAT500K is a thing of beauty just like all other Elecraft products. It never ceases to amaze me how meticulous Elecraft is in the design and production of their products. They don't seem to miss any detail, however minor. My station is now complete (K3, P3, KPA500 KAT500) until the next accessory or new product. Cheers to the Elecraft team. Great job! 73, Jack - N2JT http://groups.yahoo.com/group/prologsystem __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Kit Shipping Status
Fred, I wonder when you placed your order. When I ordered my KAT500 kit I wasn't told anything. I ordered mine in July, but based on what you were told I now know I probably won't get mine until sometime in 2013. I don't have to be concerned if Santa will leave it under the tree. Seriously, it would be nice to have a ballpark shipping estimate based on which month the order was placed. 73, Jack - N2JT On 11/20/2012 5:54 AM, Fred Smith wrote: Wouldn't you agree it will there when it arrives, they will advise you when it ships. They told me when I ordered mine that it would be the last of Dec or in Jan 2013 that was good enough for me. I can wait. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of David S.

[Elecraft] K3 Chaining CW Messages Quirk
I just got my K3 (s/n 1662) up and running and I am still getting acquainted with it. I loaded some simple messages into the CW Message buffers and upon playing them back noticed an issue. If I try to chain two messages together, while the first message is playing if I press the second M# button while the first message is sending a character, the current character being sent is truncated immediately at that point. The message goes on to send the remaining characters in the message buffer and then sends the second message. If I get lucky and press the second M# button during the space between characters (and this can be tested easily at slow speeds) no character truncation takes place and both messages are sent correctly. I have all updated firmware as of two days ago. Any thoughts on this besides not to chain messages? :) Thanks 73, Jack - N2JT [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
