Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW
Dave, The 6 Meter band can be VERY selective as to who is favored with the propagation required to work DX. You must know to what area the DX is working. Keep and eye on the 'www.vhfdx.net' website and its DX-Sherlock application to see what regions are working each other. If others in your region are working DX and you are not hearing it, keep listening. Don't be surprised if suddenly you begin to hear DX. Don't expect to just turn on your K3 and hear the DX that others are working, although that does happen at times during a widespread opening. So, what does it take to work DX on 50 MHz? Well, I presently am using a barefoot K3 and a yagi on my back porch, only 20 feet high. From my VA QTH (FM18ap), in the direction of SE thru SW the yagi looks into the house. In all other directions, including Europe and the West Coast the yagi look into 40 to 50 ft high trees. You would thing that with this antennas system I'd have a tough time working DX. Not so! Making QSOs is quite easy...when the band opens up. Since July 1, over 270 QSOs have been entered into the K1HTV log book, almost half of them on CW. Since the first of June, 44 DX countries have been worked, 27 of them since July 1st. Countries worked on 6 Meters with the low yagi and K3 include 9A, 9H, 9Y, C5, C6, CN, CO, CT, CT3,CU, E7, EA, EA6, EA8, EI, F, FG, FM, FS, G, GD, GJ, HA, HI, I, J3, J6, J8, KP2, KP4, LA, OX, P4, PJ2, S5, TF, V4, VE, VP2M, VP5, VP9, W, XE and YN. You will find that being up in FN42 you should be able to work much more Europe DX than down here in VA, and probably the same amount of DX to the south. Just be patient. If you are at you K3 when the band opens up there you'll soon be entering DX QSOs into the N1IX log. Have fun with your K3 on the magic Band! 73, Rich - K1HTV http:www.k1htv.us = = = Date: Tue, 6 Jul 2010 09:53:44 -0400 From: "David leDuc" Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW To: Message-ID: <001a01cb1d12$a6627bc0$f32773...@com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I know this is not a 6 meter discussion group but I do have a K3.

Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW
During the 2009 ARRL Field Day I was working from home on emergency power. I had cobbled together a 6-meter preamp for the K3 and decided to take a listen. I don't have a 6-meter antenna so I was using my paralleled wire 40-80 meter inverted V with almost 200' of RG214. Two of the local clubs do FD from the cool pines on a 9,000+ feet ASL mountain NE of the Tucson valley. One of them was hogging 50.125 on SSB and needless to say was quite strong and quite broad. I worked a few of the louder Es stations that were coming through and then tuned down below the loudmouth and heard a weak CQ on CW. It was JL8GFB. So I called and worked him. An hour and ten minutes later, I worked JA7WSZ. So the band was open to JA for over an hour and a lot of people missed it because they were on SSB and not tuning.

Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW
Hi Sandy, Sometime it is a courtesy when someone drops their call once when you send "test" or "V's" to let you know that they hear you in case you are wondering if you are transmitting or getting out. Sometimes they drop their call once and also send their state so that you know about the propagation. Sometimes they drop their call once in case you want a QSO or are just testing. Not sure I follow what is the problem with someone sending their call once? If someone is purposely calling you and signals are good, why repeat the call more than once? I enjoy both rag-chewing and contesting. Sometimes the band conditions don't allow rag-chewing. At the moment I am trying to work FP on 6M. With the QSB I am getting only snippets of his call. I would be happy just to get a signal report exchange. 73, N2TK, Tony -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Sandy Sent: Monday, July 05, 2010 5:14 PM To: WILLIS COOKE; Jim Brown; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW This phenomenon is not restricted to 6 meters!

Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW
>Even if you send "QRZ? de W5TVW K" you may just get a callsign >sent ONCE! This is standard contesting procedure. Sending your call more than once in clear conditions could be wasting time for those who copy CW well. And in a pile up sending your call the second time could be over the top of the DX and interfering with the DX sending only once the call of the station he actually copied. This tends to make the case that sending once is more polite if folks are waiting. Crisp one by one by one by one, etc, clears pileups quicker if everyone sends once to good operators in good conditions. While you may have your point, reversing the austere frugality of a single call reply habit when the distant station has no way of knowing your state of mine, may simply be out of reach as a social goal. Time marches on and customs change. And I can only imagine the number of hams who are NOT looking to an ARRL publication to direct ham etiquette in day-to-day communications, however positive or negative one may feel about the ARRL. What's happening on 6m is really very interesting. All the more so because my already paid for K3 has 6m on it that isn't a joke. And because I decided to run 1 1/4 inch hardline out to and up the tower, which I can switch between the big tribander and 6 and 2. For long time VHF afficionados, this infusion of new activity from previously HF confined hams has to be a lot of fun. 73, Guy. __ 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] 6M CW
When I started ham radio, there were just two modes in use: CW and AM phone. RTTY certainly existed commercially, but I can not recall anyone mentioning that mode in those long-ago times. Moreover, transceivers didn't exist...one had a transmitter, a receiver, and an antenna change-over relay. QSK didn't exist. The "bug" was around, and some operators had a marvelous "banana-boat" swing. Few operators had rotatable yagis. The licensing structure demanded at least 13 wpm proficiency. Nowadays things are very different. [An attempt to survey the hobby is given in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio.] This list focuses on a particular kind of hardware...a self-contained, 10 to 100 watt transceiver with full qsk on cw, as well as an astonishing range of other capabilities. The personal computer has appeared on the scene, making many new digital modes accessible. CW and WSJT have become the prime weak signal modes, with QSK CW providing very fast, highly-efficient, turn-around type QSOs. A single dit or two during a CQ establishes a link. On HF, PSK or RTTY provide very leisurely media for chatting -- one's attention can wander a bit, perhaps even to sipping coffee (tea for the Brits). When conditions are good enough, SSB works well for casual talk or for hello-goodbye exchanges. All this obtains from rigs like the K3 or a few others, together with the PC. Virtually unlimited frequency mobility, band coverage, stability, full break-in, digital modes, and so forth are available. There are still lids and careless operators. People still rag-chew on the calling frequencies. Recently I waited patiently for 20 minutes hoping a pair of W7 stations in western Washington on 6 meters would take a break in their rag-chew, while they faded slowly in to S9 strength and slowly out to the noise level here in FN32. ...but, by and large, operating techniques have changed to fit the available media. I think this is quite appropriate, and if someone wants to do a smash-and-grab QSO, I am content. When conditions are changing rapidly, this seems entirely reasonable. I hold against a philosophy that says "be reasonable, do it MY way!"

Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW
This thread has been quite interesting I respect the station that can sit and rag chew on CW, I've tried it on one of the HF bands, and found it very demanding on the brain. On 6m... If the band was open with more than one hop of SpE, I'll be chasing new grid squares, or DXCC countries. I do it on single hop SpE as well, but with more than one hop available, some real DX might also be available.. I think a lot of 'DXers' on 6m would be upset to hear a W7 on the band and not be able to have a quick QSO... I sure would be... That doesn't mean people can't be polite... I've heard and worked what I consider to be good DX (more than one hop SpE) and the DX station insisted on names as well as report... And, as he had a pile up, that's what he got with every QSO... now that's not unfair, it's just what the 'DX' wanted. In the large RSGB/IARU contest, even with the band going 'ding dong' I always try to pass over GM or GA on each QSO... does this slow the rate down...? maybe has it damaged to score? I don't think so, and we've won the contest 10 times in the last 13 years...

Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW
Comparing 6m to 17m is not very fair. My impression of 17m is its an extension of 20m in nature and use. Some regard 6m is our lowest VHF band; others as the highest HF band. IMO it is neither. I find line-of-sight propagation quite inferior to 2m and even 70cm. As a band with ionospheric effects they are so rare that it hardly qualifies as a propagation mode (Of course you would have to withstand 355 days of no propagation to the ten or less that we get up here in Alaska to appreciate my comment). So ... when the band opens, "everyone" wants to work DX, and that is "me". So I get a back-to-back string of QSO's from 20-30 stations in CA. I worked CA on the first contact so after the band closes, I have worked one state. Or 35 JA stations call; same result one country worked. Would I enjoy exchanging a few more items other than call, name, RST and grid? Not going to happen because I am DX. Rag chews on 6m are with fellow Alaskans over a 30-mile radius when the band is closed. So six meters is - short and fast! If you are looking for a rag chew go down in freq to HF or up to 2m. If you want 24-hour DX, don't expect it on 6m. 6m is days of boredom interrupted by minutes chaos. It is what it is. And that is why we love it - and hate it. Oh, well I usually don't have to wait for a station to call me - so that is something. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 == BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 144-600w, 432-100w, 1296-60w, 3400-fall 2010 DUBUS Magazine USA Rep dubus...@hotmail.com == __ 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] 6m CW freq
In the last 2 big DX openings to Europe I found the Italians like 50070 to 50085 along with the more Eastern Europeans. A lot of Western Eu will use CW between 50115 & 50100. Sometimes you do fight the beacons between 50070 & 50080. That's what the 8 pole 200hz filter is for in the K3. Often DX will switch between SSB & CW when in the DX window 50100-50125. Might be all the RFI we hear about in Europe. Some of the BIG GUN US DXers often call CQ DX between 50060 & 50070.

Do what you wanna. :) But do what makes sense in the context of conditions. When 6M is open, conditions can be WILDLY variable, and ragchewing with a station who might not be there in 30 seconds is a pretty dumb idea. If you want to rag chew, do it with someone who is NOT subject to rapid fading, or on a band that is better suited to it. Second, there are MANY ways to enjoy ham radio. Some of my ham friends only enjoy building stations, or writing software, or building equipment, or fixing equipment, or teaching new hams. Others enjoy DXing, or collecting counties, or states, or whatever. Others enjoy contesting. Or rag chewing. One thing that turns me on is seeing my station working well in challenging situations, like 160M DX, and 6M grids. I like contesting for the same reason. Different strokes for different folks. Do what YOU wanna, but don't put down those who wanna do something different, and whatever side of the hobby you pursue, be a good neighbor! 73, Jim K9YC __ 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] 6M CW
The issue here is "Awards." Working grids, states and countries on 6 meters. It is my feeling that is what makes QSOs so quick on 6 meters, or conducted in "contest mode." Now, I am not an long time 6 meter operator (in fact, I've been on the band since July 1, 2010) but I have been able to work about 250 people since. I operated contest style on SSB59/EM18. Why? Trying to gather in as many grids squares as possibleandas many states as possible in the shortest amount of time (because of the "rare" opening on 6 meters) for AWARDS! Now, I had a few short rag chewspeople I knew and some I did not...but for the most part...I was working people as fast as possible for "award points." WAS, VUCC and DXCC. On a K3 Note The radio performed flawlessly on both CW and SSB without the pre-amp. Lee - K0WA Ham Radio Operators: Kansas QSO Party is August 28-29, 2010.

Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW
This phenomenon is not restricted to 6 meters! The same thing happens on HF as well: people looking for "club" numbers, grid squares, counties,etc., etc. The whole "contest" mentality has corrupted all the "old" and "polite" methods of establishing a QSO when there are no contests at all! Also the "Elmers" of today, aided and abetted by the ARRL, have all but completely "eliminated" the normal calling protocols of yesteryear. It isn't at all "unusual" to tune up and send a few "V's" and have someone just drop their callsign on you just ONCE! As I now an "old timer" in age and amateur radio, I "wonder" when this happens. Is this chap calling me? Is he just testing? Even if you send "QRZ? de W5TVW K" you may just get a callsign sent ONCE! Also people sending: "DE W4ABC" instead of calling "CQ". "Newer" QRPers answering a CQ call just sending their callsign just ONCE! There isn't that "all important" OPERATING section still published in the "Handbook"! Guess the folks at ARRL thought they could make a few extra bucks by publishing a special book dealing with that subject that obviously everyone ISN"T buying! I enjoy contests on CW doing QRP and usually these are limited to a small segment of the CW sub-band, and they don't seem to be on every weekend. 6 meters used to be a really "fun" band back in the "AM" phone days, but I didn't figure it would be degraded to nothing but "hello, goodbye" type contacts. Sorry for this, guess I sound like a grouchy "old fart" but where has all the politeness gone? 73, Sandy W5TVW - Original Message - From: "WILLIS COOKE" To: "Jim Brown" ; Sent: Monday, July 05, 2010 2:29 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW I don't feel that way at all.

Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW
I think the issue is that openings are often so brief on 6m that while you're exchanging pleasantries the guy waiting behind you is likely to end up with nothing. That's the radio equivalent of having the guy in front of you in the left turn lane use up the entire arrow. Just as in any other situation, it seems appropriate to me for folks to adapt their operating habits to the environment at hand but clearly not everyone views it that way. I had never operated 6m before but last June (2009) I thought it might be fun to chase grids on Es. I discovered that most of the activity was on SSB, and my experience after a few weeks effort was that a rather high percentage of the people I heard were in the mud by the time they finished chatting. Not much fun in that for me and I haven't even bothered with it this year. Waiting out propagation is one thing ... helplessly watching it go away is quite another. 73, Dave AB7E On 7/5/2010 1:37 PM, The Smiths wrote: > Wow, someone else that agrees with me. > > 6 meters is a BIG disapointment.

[Elecraft] 6M CW
I understand how Jim and Ken feel. However, I find myself on both sides of the fence. Sometimes I get antsy wanting to work a particular grid square, but other times I get into a longer exchange--maybe the other station is in a location of particular interest, or whatever. Of course, not many folks are that hungry for my grid square, but I suppose they may be hungry for the other person's grid square. Thing is, though, not everyone (me included) is knocking themselves out trying to grab "all" the grid squares. I save that approach for the contests usually. Different folks have different ways of enjoying the opening, and a little chit-chat may be how they do it. So, maybe we all just need to take a deep breath. Jim's absolutely right about the CW portion of the band. It's usually "all business" down there, and lots of fun too. Weak signals are much easier to grab, etc. My biggest complaint about the CW "portion" is that we seemed to be squeezed into a fairly narrow segment--50,090 to 50,100. I realize we can go further up or down, but most don't seem to do it. Also you start running into the beacons when you get lower, and when the band is good, there are a bunch of them coming in. Nevertheless, I do go down lower sometimes, but my QSO rate drops because others don't seem to be listening down further. Going up apparently "infringes" on a DX window for SSB. Anyway, I think we should spread out some, downward probably, when the band gets good like this, beacons or no beacons. That's probably heresy! Of course, I'd also like to hear a lot more folks try CW too!

Re: [Elecraft] 6m CW REV
