[Elecraft] Yet another filter question
Hi all I apologize if this topic has been covered here before. I've had my K3 for about a year now, and I'm considering adding another roofing filter. I currently have the 400 hz 8 pole filter and it has served me very well, but there were several instances during the 2014 WPX cw contest as well as 2014 SS where I needed something tighter. I've seen the filter plots for the 5 pole and 8 pole filters, and while my initial gut feeling was to go with the 8 pole 250 hz filter, I'm now questioning whether or not that would be wise. According to the plots, there isn't much difference between the two filters, and based on this data alone it would seem that the better choice would be to go with the 200hz 5-pole. I'm sure I'm missing something here. Thoughts? Thanks 73, Morgan, NS0R. __ 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] EFHW
I can vouch for the EFHW. It works great. I built a parallel tuned circuit using a roller inductor and a 15-350pf cap. I have used this several times on 20 meters feeding a 33.5 foot vertical wire. I use about 4 10 foot radials, which is probably overkill, and run it through a good choke and it has been a great performer. I have also used this box to feed a 20 and 40 meter halfsquare. I have ran 500 watts through both the half square and the 20 meter EFHW with no arcing and an SWR < 1.5 and a reactance of 3 or 4. No problems, works great. The only issue I have had is that the EFHW tends to be a little bit noisier than a traditional vertical, but I can put this antenna up and operate in less than 10 minutes so it's worth the small amount of extra noise. 73, Morgan, NS0R __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] recommendations for CW paddles under $125
I have had excellent luck with the Kent TP-1. It runs a little more than $125. I think you can pick them up for around $160. It is my main key and I take it with me everywhere I operate including field day. It has served me well for many thousands of qso's without the need for re-adjustment or polishing the contacts.
