Let's try this again.  In a truly Second Class moment, I thoroughly 
screwed up the date.  The sprint will be held on September 13, a week

I sure do like the look of those Drakes. When I was a kid I wanted one
in the worst way; never managed to get one. 

I just noticed the grey/black color scheme on the Drakes reminds
me of the K2! Very appealing.

Is that really an optical connector for the mic on the K3? Heh,heh...
looks like photons coming out.

Speaking of sprints - the *REAL* sprint will be today from 00Z - 04Z
(saturday night local time in the USA).  Those of you working N6TR
on 20 or 80 meters will be QSOing with K3 SN #13.  40 meters 
will be my trusty Drake line since I don't have a second K3 yet.

The SOC Marathon Sprint will be held this weekend, rules below.  It will 
run concurrently with the Elecraft QSO Party.  Rules for the EQP are at 
http://www.elecraft.com/Awards/eqp_2007.htm
Since the exchanges are similar, it is possible to participate in both 
contests at the same time.  I will activate W1SOC for the first time. 
It is unknown at this time if W0SOC will be active, but SOC members may 
contact Bob Roske, N0UF if interested in using it.

AL7FS
It was fun to work a few QRPers again. I went to breakfast with a few of 
my contesting buddies (serious ones) and I bragged about how I was 
knocking out the CW Qs at a rate of 2-3 an hour.

That got a laugh.

K2HYD
Did not get much time to work the contest but here is my log anyway!
Actually, I didn't work the last hour because right after I finished a
contact on 40, I heard a CQ from an old friend who is recovering from a
brain tumor operation and I instantly decided that a rag chew with him
was much more important than the contest!! Fun contest even with very
few staions heard.

K7UP
Total time on, about 3 hours. I did use a Black Widow paddle (kit) but 
most sending was done with the keyboard, so I didn't apply the 1.5 mult. 
I think the score is 2,016.

Rig was a K2 @ 5W. Antenna: broken tri-bander at 35'
Seems like an awful lot for 9 QSO's. The bands were not good. Did a lot 
of CQing on 15/10 meters, not a whisper.


KD2MX
Soapbox: Didn't have much time for this one. Was testing out my kx1 
after installing 8030 option. Thought I was running with 'full' power 
but later noticed the power cord was unplugged and I was on batteries. 
Guess it works.


KI8AF
Shouldn't take much to compute my score. One and only one signal heard 
on the air and that was you as W0SOC. You were booming into the U.P. of 
Michigan. I haven't been on CW is some time so at least I know the rig 
still works. Used my K1 backing it down to 1 watt.


KR0I
I was checking out a TS480 on an indoor dipole at the time I
heard W0SOC CQing (you?) for the contest and wanted to see if I
could get through. Did manage to make the one contest QSO (g)

N0AAA
This be the log of N0AAA, whose last HF QSO was with K8XXX on 4-16-06 (I 
don't like lulls).
SOC #389. Called CQ quite a bit. Bob came in all afternoon/evening (were 
you really QRP?).
I ran as close to 100W as I could remember how to tune the rig to. I 
know the connections on
my power suppy are getting loose when I get chirp reports. KG4FSN stuck 
with me. Not sure
why I called him, since he was so weak here, but we got it done! Tnx all 
73 Jan N0AAA #389 Iowa


N2CQ
COMMENTS: Football drew me away fom the SOC but thanks for the contacts.

N9NE
Rig is the old K2 #1429 at 5W that almost made a million points that 
first SOC test. 110’ attic loop up ca. 22’. Used internal keyer instead 
of left foot.


VE3IAY
My first SOC contest in quite a while - a second-class effort. I jumped
back and forth between CW and PSK31 just up the band, but spent more time
on PSK31 than CW. My log is in the form of a Cabrillo file, hope that's OK.
I also was in the NCJ CW Sprint later in the evening, and took that one a
bit more seriously - but it sure is hard work in that one when you're
running low power into a compromise antenna.

W0UFO
WOW! Thanks for the fun Bob. I could hear you throughout the Marathon 
but it

was hard for you to hear me. I was in the country with little QRN so that
makes a difference. BCNU, Mert

W1PID
Bob... you ARE amazing. Whenever I turned on the radio, there
you were, strong, steady, faithful. Pretty good participation this
year too. Many thanks. Jim

W2AGN
Soapbox : Nice to participate in a contest by a club I'm not banned from 
Kinda light on activity, though.


K5ICW
Dandy Conditions - NOT!

WA2DUV
My ant is an indoor 40M dipole, my home is an aluminum mobile home, no 
outside stuff. So far it got me 90 DX + 45 states but took four years! 
Been a ham since 1963 and will never give it up.


K4BAI
Paddle is twin paddle key made in England by Kent engineers - assembled 
for me by K5AB.


WK2G
Bob just use this log as a check log because the software that I used
was acting funky. Where was everyone? Had to go to a party so when I got
back na was taking over. Hope more activity next year

Hey SOCers and non-SOCers,

 If you spent any time in the SOC Marathon Sprint, be sure to get
your log in to me.  Doesn't matter if you only spent five minutes and
made one contact, all logs are important.  Heck, one of our entries will
include just one imaginary contact for a score of j35 points.
 Score and summary sheet should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but
I'll compute your score for you if you prefer to just send the log.

SECOND CLASS OPERATOR'S CLUB MARATHON SPRINT



SOC Marathon Sprint

we need more time!

Multiplier:   SPC (State/Province/Country) total for all bands.
 The same station may be worked on more than one band for
 QSO  points and SPC credit.

Power Multiplier: 0 - < 250 mW = X 15;
250 mW - < 1 Watt = X 10;
1 W - 5 W = X 7;
 Over 5 W = X 1.

Suggested Frequencies:

160 Meters1810 kHz
80 Meters 3560 kHz

Apply an additional multiplier of 1.5 if using a homebrew paddle (kits such

Entry includes a copy of the log and a separate summary sheet.
Indicate total time-on-the-air, and include a legible name, call, SOC Number
(if any) and address.  All entries must be received within 30 days of the

multiplier.
Include a description of homebrew  equipment (including paddle or key), 
commercial

[Elecraft] SOC Marathon Sprint September 11

2004-09-08 Thread Bob Patten 

Lee Hopper wrote:

As any SOC, I must ask: is the SOC Marathon Sprint happening this coming 
Sat? Reality check, please.
 

Yes, the SOC Marathon Sprint will still be held this Saturday.  The SOC 
club call may still be available if

any member wants to use it.  Contact:[EMAIL PROTECTED]   if interested.

I hope all is well with the contest manager, Bob Patten, in Plantation FL - 
antennas still up, Bob? Got RF?
 

All antennas were taken down in anticipation of Frances slamming into us 
as a category 4 hurricane.
Fortunately, the storm weakened and struck a little north of us, but 
still plenty of wind and rain here.
I put my 40M dipole back up at 35ft and used it in the ARS Spartan 
Sprint day before yesterday.
This is still my only antenna as the others need maintenance before they 
go back up.  I will be on the
air to give out SOC #1 - IF Ivan hasn't decided by then to give us a 
double whammy!


Anyhow - here's to meeting you on the air and discovering why 'We few, we 
happy few, we band of brothers...'
 

I encourage all my fellow Second Class Operators (and anyone else!) to 
participate in the sprint.
Complete rules on the SOC website:   http://www.qsl.net/soc   or e-mail 
me for a copy.
