Re: [Elecraft] OT: Australian fires

2020-01-04 Thread VK1OO, Mike Walkington
Hi Wayne

Thanks for thinking of us. A horrendous situation and at the worst possible
time with so many people on their summer holidays in the most fire prone
areas. We have a team of US / Canadian firefighters here that came over
before Christmas to bring their expertise to the fight. And Aussies were in
California and Canada during your fire season. Wonderful to see how we can
help each other in trying times.

Best wishes
Mike

Re: [Elecraft] A New Choke Book - Some Questions

2019-03-29 Thread VK1OO, Mike Walkington
Hi Jim,

Thanks. I don't know how I missed the section "Chokes in Series"!

I really appreciate the extensive work you did to build and measure all the
chokes. You are making a difference to small suburban stations like mine
that live in a sea of noise.

Cheers
Mike, VK1OO

Re: [Elecraft] [K3-KPA500] SWR jumps up with 5 second key down

2013-04-28 Thread VK1OO, Mike Walkington
All,

I think I've finally found the cause of my problem.  The PVC spacer that
goes around the driven element where it is attached to the boom plate has a
cut down one side to to allow it to compress when tightened with a u-bolt.
What I could not notice until I totally dismantled the element was that the
split was full of carbon as was the mounting plate along the length of the
split. I am assuming that the split which was facing up filled up with water
and helped create an arc between the driven element and mounting plate.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 SSB audio problem

2012-10-22 Thread VK1OO, Mike Walkington
Hi George,

I have a similar set-up, having added the KPA500 two or so weeks ago.
Recently a local ham using an SDR as a spectrum analyser notied that I have
a lot of splatter on my signal.
The KPA500 is locted about 8 inches above the K2 and KPA100. I have not
fittted the VCO Shield.  Thanks to your email I now have another possible
cause to investigate.
