[Elecraft] 7QP

[Tom Meier]

Tom, K7ZZ, and Jim, W7UG, will have a K3 high power multi-single County Line
Expedition station on the air Saturday for the 7th Call Area QSO Party (1300
Z Sat. - 0700 Z Sun).  They will be straddling the borders of semi-rare
Crook (CRO) and Wheeler (WHE) counties in beautiful 70' high Ponderosa pine
trees.

[Elecraft] 7QP whaaahoooo!

[Dale Putnam]

Well, ok, so I am a bit late with this... but that let the dust settle a bit 
from the weekend of activity. 

  And... now we can relax, breath deep, and some of the lucky ones get to go to 
a couple really nifty hamfests. In the meanwhile, some of the rest of us... 
will be standing outside...  looking up... wondering if h... if 
only and maybe if

But the truth is in the results, and considering that there were so many QPs 
this weekend, it was a kick. The results for me? Well.. if the logcheckers 
don't find a lot wrong, the score won't change a lot.. from 222Qs with 47 
mults, and a score of 27.9K... but no WAS... even on 3 bands... good golly. 
(Maybe if oh.. oh.. he's back to that again.. )

loook out.. another antenna is about to be born *G*

But the one's you have must work pretty well? Sure.. but maybe just one or two 
more would be better? 

Think she will go along with it?

QRP Dale???

Did you guys have any 10M activity?

There was a nice opening to New England on Sunday here. One guy in New
Hampshire was shocked I was running QRP SSB and coming in at 5 over S9...
didn't last too long.

Other than being slow at opening and closing windows, I hopped from CW to
SSB to RTTY all weekend with the K3 with great ease. 

I did have to watch the RF and AF gain when going/coming from RTTY. For some
reason, I thought the audio out was not affected by the front panel
controls. Had a lot of help from an anonymous fellow from this reflector
with some of the RTTY setup details, which is why I like hanging here so
much :o)

Lotsa K3s in the New England QSO Party, and even a few K2s (mine included).
I still enjoy the K2 on CW, just sounds so warm and mellow (no technical
references implied). With the K3, I was able to copy individual CW stations
virtually on top of each other, which happens a lot in QSO parties...

73,
Julius

Re: [Elecraft] 7QP whaaahoooo!

[Dale Putnam]

Hi,

  I failed to give credit where credit is very much due... the &qp operation 
was enmtirely on a K2, at less than 5 watts out, and on 80/40/ es 20 with only 
wire antennas... yes they are a little longer than the standard dipole... 
well.. most are. And a vertical. 

  So.. how does this all work? Well.. chalk it up to a K2 that does the yeoman 
duty, with a rx that allows single signal reception, most of the time... even 
with a QP that stacks folks. So.. thank you... very much, Wayne and Eric and 
all the folks that made the K2 happen... and that continue to make Elecraft 
happen. 

  Yep Julius... qrp... is there any other waymost of the time? *G*

Re: [Elecraft] 7QP whaaahoooo!

[Julius Fazekas]

You were solid here anytime I heard you Dale.

nothing wrong with wire antennas, even the "lowly" dipole ;o) Uber short 
antennas may present more of a challenge, but lotsa great ear's out there.

I had a few more problems with the mobiles, but envisioned them in canyons or 
behind mountains from time to time ;o)  (either natural or man made!)

QRP continually provides great surprises, lots of fun and a heck of a lot fewer 
RFI and other problems :o)  Definitely easier to move around the world with a 
lil' QRP rig.

Cheers,
Julius

[Tom Meier]

I also gave my K3 a pretty good workout in the 7QP. 1370 QSOs and
about 220,000 for a claimed score.
