Good Evening Elecrafters,
Another week has swung by and it is time to announce the Elecraft CW
Nets held Sunday. The big sunspot (#649) is back but it is not quite in
position to cause much damage yet. The sunspot numbers are on the rise
and contacts have been very nice for the last couple

For the worst storms I had a fairly protected campsite. A much higher rise
behind the camp would have taken most of the hits. The best thing for
mountain lightning protection is to make sure you are not a high point.
Valleys are good places for campsites. If you have to lean your neck back
John...thanks for giving us a backpack trip report. Sounds like the
lightning was life-threatening. What's the key to surviving a lightning
storm in the mountains? We got caught in one at about 10,500' when we
were hiking near Silverton, CO..we also got hailed on. You must've

These should be the big ones based on the schematic:
Make sure U1 is oriented correctly.
I would normally check the orientation of the resistor pack for the display,
but it looks by the pinout that it can be reversed with no ill effect (check it
anyway though, as I may be wrong).

Dear Fellow Elecrafters,
I am pleased to announce the inaugural Elecraft Ragchewer's Award #001
has been awarded to Terry Southern, KC0QZX for a 40 minute QSO that he
had with AC7XR.
Way to go, Terry !! Your certificate will be in Monday's mail. I hope
to see a lot more applications coming to
I took a KX1 with me on a solo climbing trip into the Wind River Mountains
in central Wyoming in late July. The KX1 was used to send a GPS position
each night so my location could be tracked if anything went wrong. N6KR and
N0SS contacted me each evening at 0200Z to get the position.

I just made it back last night from wandering around Wyoming and Montana
after finishing the trip in the Wind River Range. I'll try to post a trip
report later today.

Hello Everybody.
We have reached the Alignment and Testing Part I as outlined in the manual.
It was very exciting when we turned on the LED and saw that bright glow.
Turning on the main power switch however was not as exciting (yet.)
There was no smoke, no burning smell or warm components, but th
Decided to try a new antenna I bought a few weeks ago while my son was
taking a nap. Pulled out my DK9SQ vertical mast and attached it to the
railing of my back deck. I then attached a Par Electronics 20 meter End Fed
antenna and hoisted it up to 30'. My analyzer says that it is 1:1 to 1:6 on

Hi Barry,
Something must have struck the VFO knob and pushed it into the panel.

Hi Barry,

We also sell these 2.1MM power plugs as spare parts on our parts and mod
kits order page.

I am using a 28' top radiator and a set of 33', 24', and 16' radials,
one for each band. With this set I can achieve a good match with the
KXAT12 in any situation. (Good RF performance in any situation is
another question, still in progress..)
In use, I clip on one or more radials, and have

Hi!
In my experience, the counterpoise can be a tricky thing. Keep in mind that
minor changes in ground current can lead to substantial swings in antenna
impedance. That translates directly into changes in SWR. For instance, I use
an MFJ Artificial ground to tune a counterpoise for my 85' EFW. The
