Re: Topband: Stew Perry, Summer Edition, less than 24 hours away!
slightly OT I'm looking for a link to a web site that will show me a continuous map covering the time from now through when the Stew Perry is over. Why? I'm trying to decide whither to run QRP or LOW power my decision will be determined by what the map shows as far as what part of the states are predicted to have thunderboomers or not during the night time hours of the Stew -- GB 73 K5OAI Sam Morgan On 6/15/2012 12:39 PM, Brian Moran wrote: 160meters. 14 operating hours.

Re: Topband: Stew Perry, Summer Edition, less than 24 hours away!
there should be a stew class that has three powers - 6V6, 211, 833a if you can't work 'em with the 6V6, go up to the 211, etc etc and mark each qso accordingl;y that should keep the score keepers busy mike w7dra On Fri, 15 Jun 2012 18:22:16 -0500 Sam Morgan k5oai@gmail.com writes: slightly OT I'm looking for a link to a web site that will show me a continuous map covering the time from now through when the Stew Perry is over.

Re: Topband: 9M0L
The Spratly Islands are claimed by several countries. The appropriate call sign would be by the country that issues the license for that entity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spratly_Islands_dispute Herb Schoenbohm, KV4FZ On 6/15/2012 7:09 PM, all...@dejazzd.com wrote: I now that 9M0L is The Spratly Isands, but is that the same Spratly Islands as 1S Thanks, Allan W2TN ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?

Re: Topband: Stew Perry, Summer Edition, less than 24 hours away!
the closest I have found is this *STATIC* map forecast for 48 hours out that's 8pm Sat. night what I was hoping for was a map similar to this that was moving through time (scrolling) from now through Sunday 1500z you have seen radar maps that show the last 4-8 hours to now I'm looking for a forecast display, like that covering from now through the end of the Stew Perry or really just covering where and how bad the storms will be from sunset Sat. through sunrise Sun. of the Stew Perry P.S. I have DX Atlas and also VOA Prop I'm not really looking for the daylight/dark times nor the rf propagation guestimates I'm trying to figure out if I want to run 5w QRP which for me means 300mw ERP or 100w LOW power which for me would mean 6w ERP if there are going to be major thunderstorm weather over most of the US then I might as well run 6w and forget the 300mw QRP attempt -- GB 73 K5OAI Sam Morgan On 6/15/2012 6:22 PM, Sam Morgan wrote: slightly OT I'm looking for a link to a web site that will show me a continuous map covering the time from now through when the Stew Perry is over.

Here's the page that I regularly look at to determine whether I want to go listen on 160 or 80: http://www.intellicast.com/Storm/Severe/Lightning.aspx And if I want to know if a specific DX location has lightning (could someone there hear me?), I look at http://wwlln.net/TOGA_network_global_maps.htm. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?

Re: Topband: Stew Perry, Summer Edition, less than 24 hours away!
Hi, Those intellicast pages are new for me and I looked at them and strikestar. According to them I don't have much chance of doing anything at all with my modest station. But I am going to try *anyway*. My transmitter doesn't care about local noise so it's down to whether I can somehow sort out signals from junk. And maybe dodge lightning! I've recently started playing with some old technology just for fun and when I got one of the radios up on the big antenna I was pleasantly surprised how well it tamed conditions. My other receivers were hacking and coughing with static (40 meters). I also have been playing with the old transistor and tube broadcast receivers with loopstick or multiturn loop antennas. Those just happened to wander in here when I wasn't paying attention. Those are amazing in their ability to null out strong local transmitters in favor of very weak distant ones. I'm taking notes for 160 and the upcoming 600 meter ham allocation. Rock the radio (and antenna) this way or that in three dimensions and all sorts of stations come in or are nulled out. I couldn't identify all the stations I heard because I am stuck with only English. I knew about those antennas but had simply forgotten about them over the years. I have to see how much those can help me on Top Band and maybe 80 meters. Maybe some of you may already know and can give me some pointers. See you in the Stew. 73, Bill KU8H ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
