[Elecraft] ARCI QP - check top bottom of the hour!
I'm making a slight change to my earlier post on my trip to DE for the ARCI Spring QP. I will check the top of each hour, for 5 minutes, on 15m, not 10m. However, I will check 10m at the bottom of each hour. I will call CQ QRP for 5 minutes. If the action is good, I'll stay there until it falls off. Otherwise I'll go back to the band I was previously on. HOW ABOUT EVERYONE DOING THE SAME? 73, Mike ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] DExpedition for ARCI Spring QP
Once again I will be operating the ARCI Spring QP from the great state of Delaware. I will be signing as NJ2OM/3, and mostly running on or near the QRP frequencies. During the evening hours I will check 80m at the top of each hour. I will check 10m at the top of other hours. If anyone needs DE on a particular band/mode, let me know. Maybe we can work out a sched to make it happen. Good luck to all, Mike, NJ2OM ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Size of K2 phone jack?
Anyone know the size of the phone jack in the K2? I can't find it anywhere in the manual. I know it's not 3/32, already wasted money on that size. Is it 1/8, 2.5mm, 3.5mm? Thanks!

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Kevin, I will be operating portable from DE for the ARCI Spring QSO Party. I recently finished building my K2 and will be using it for the contest. I am calling it my DEpedition. I will probably post an operating schedule in the next week or so but will take special requests if asked :) I will be going down on Friday, 4/8. I should be set up by 6pm or thereabouts. I will be signing as NJ2OM/3. 73 and hope to work you, Mike From: Kevin Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2005/03/26 Sat PM 11:15:06 EST To: Elecraft elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement Good Evening, My fingers are itching from lack of CW work. I have been banging away at a calculator, a spreadsheet, writing simulation software, and realizing the results with components and solder. The results worked. Wow, from idea to reality is quite interesting. My new radio, tuner, and bridge all in one box. But I am still learning. Now to get someone from Delaware or South Dakota to check in to the Elecraft Net. I don't believe folks use amateur radios in Delaware. Prove me wrong tomorrow evening ;) It sounds like 40 meters is open but there are a lot of voice ops working the band. By tomorrow evening they should be done. 20 meters was working earlier as I was testing my new tuner and radio. I think we may have good propagation for all those folks who are not actively feeding at net time. But there are two nets so you can try one, or the other, or both if that is your wont.

Re: [Elecraft] suggestions for EQP practice
David, I replied to this once but didn't see it show up so if it shows up twice, I apologize. I would disagree with you on your suggestion. One of the things that makes contesting a little easier (sometimes) is that the exchanges are publishes, so you know what to expect next. How many times has someone in a contest sent the exchange out of order, and that's the way you copied it into your logger, then you had to go back and retype the affected fields to get it right? And if you're really cooking in a run, sometimes you might not even realize it until you [Enter] and get some message about the info you entered was incorrect. Since the exchange has been published, most people are going to be expecting the letter K as the first character in the rig portion of the exchange for most of their qso's. Changing that to a 2 followed by a slash, etc etc is just going to add confusion. Having to resend the exchange just one time is going to offset a lot of the time saved by not sending a K. And that's not even considering the folks who may not be on this reflector and never seeing your post. Having said all that, hope to see you on the air. K 72, Mike, NJ2OM From: David A.Belsley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2005/03/10 Thu AM 07:47:37 CST To: Elecraft Reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] suggestions for EQP practice May I suggest that we try to make the EQP contest unique among current contests by attempting to give actual (meaningful) signal reports. Because of the association of this content with QRP, the wholesale use of 5nn seems really quite out of place. It will also be good practice to those who haven't fully come to grips with the proper use of RST reports to learn to make snap judgments about a proper report. Those snap judgments are usually pretty good, often better than ones that get deeper consideration. And if you are looking to find a way to make up for the little bit of time it takes to give an honest report, consider adopting, in place of sending K2 nr 4321 or K1 nr 548 simply 2/4321 or 1/548. Looking forward to getting some new s/n's, (there aren't any more states) dave belsley, w1euy, 2/744 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] 8R - 8T lines
I'm trying to understand exactly (well, more or less) what the 8R/8T settings do. In the primary menu, under T-R, you set it as either '8r hold' or '8r nor'. The manual says to user the 'hold' option for all modes of operation. It also says that it ...holds the 8R line low during the user programmed QSK delay. Does this imply that if I choose the 'nor' option, and have the T-R delay time set to a longer period (say, 1 second), that the 8R line will not be held low during the entire 1 second delay? And if not, what is the result? Can anyone help me understand this? Thanks, Mike, NJ2OM ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Popping noise in audio
Just used my newly completed K2 for my first contest - FYBO. There was only one thing that was not 100%. I found that, on 40m and below, with or without a headset, there was a popping kind of sound in the audio when transmitting WITH THE PREAMP ON. It was not detectable with the Preamp OFF, or on 20m, 15m or 10m with the Preamp ON. Filter settings were 500 Hz for FL1 and AF1 in all tests. I did not hear it in SSB mode. Any ideas?

[Elecraft] K2/handmic/headset (new K2 buyer)
I'm going to order a K2, and I want to get the right handmic. I have a Heil Proset headset now, with the Icom element. I would like to use this headset with the K2, as well as my Icom rig. Does this mean that I need to buy an Icom handmic for use with the K2, or can I get the K2 mic and wire it so that I can use the Heil headset that I already have? ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
