We live 0.7 miles from the point of 100% totality lasting for some 2 minutes 30 seconds. Guess I'll ride my bike up the road to the point. At our house we will only have something like 99.2% totality. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 17, 2017, at 8:09 PM, ab4iqkf4cxo

[Elecraft] k-Pod ... Thanks for the mod

Recently purchased a K-pod for my earlier vintage K3s kit. I read about the mod necessary to power up the K-Pod via the data connector. I eagerly removed the front panel and identified R82. I carefully removed the chip resistor (tiny) and considered how I’d mount it on top of R82 and solder

We are headed into the totality zone ourselves - a 12 hour drive for a 2 minute event. For those who don't make it this year, there is another one in 2024 that will provide "totality" for a much larger portion of the US population: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2024-april-8# Happy

I am planning on being up in the Strawberry Mtn Wilderness area (if it's not saturated with people) south of John Day. I'm hoping to get on with the KX2 for the SEQP as well. Looking to do a couple of SOTA peaks prior to the big event. When I get up there depends on when I get out of Elko.

That would be lots of fun. But hamming is for your own satisfaction. Walking with weight is an issue so KX2 is better. I would take wires and perhaps a small collapsible pole. E.g., a 17ft pole that collapses to 1.5 ft and weighs 4 oz. Years ago I hiked Pico de Europa in EA1 not far away from
