Re: [Elecraft] OT: High school drafting class, ~1975

I have greatly enjoyed the memory fest here.  Wasn't going to join in, but, Steve, your email really hit close to home.  I replied to Steve, intended for whole group. Took 'Mechanical Drawing' in Jr. high, loved it.  Also had drawing classes (course also included slide rule) first semester of

Re: [Elecraft] Intermittent loss of power output K3

Ray: I get the same relay chatter, no display of SWR and no output.  Some time later I may do the same ATU and it works.  Appears to do the same thing as when attempting to load an actual antenna. Because this discussion has begun, I think I will set up again on the bench and see if it will

Re: [Elecraft] Intermittent loss of power output K3

Peter: This is John Saxon, K5ENQ, in Pearland, TX, and I have experienced what appears to be the identical symptoms.  Also have contacted support, got some suggestions, tried them to no avail (mostly dealing with possible rf grounding issues).  Like you, it may operate perfectly for hours or

I am not happy with my current backup software package.  Any recommendations on backup software?  Like it to be free, but not necessary. 73,JohnK5ENQ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 TVI on 40 meters only

FWIW: I also have Uverse and cannot use 80 or 40 (haven't tried 160).  My research (reading posts from people who know what they are talking about) indicates it is due to subcarrier frequencies used by AT - they include frequencies in the 160-80-40m bands, ending around 9mHz.  I can operate 30m

Re: [Elecraft] OT: RFI problem on 80,40 with AT Uverse

We supposedly have the latest modem.  When I "suddenly" had RFI it was shortly after going from an older modem to this one...weird. Hopefully Monday I will hear from AT with a solution (for them to fix).   Sounds like they should have a whole file on this issue. Thanks,JohnK5ENQ From: Guy

[Elecraft] OT: RFI problem on 80,40 with AT Uverse

Off topic, but perhaps others have had the same problem. I have a K3/100 + ATU (ser#3542), purchased as a kit in 2009.  No problems with RFI until April of 2016.  All of a sudden RFI on 80,40(didn't try 160).  Been off these bands ever since, although all my buddies hang out on 40.  Have had AT

Hey...I clicked this link and my McAfee went crazy...all kinds of warnings about this site.  Has anyone else had this happen?  Has anyone used this link? Thanks,JohnK5ENQ From: Dick Grolleman To: Peter Chamalian ; "Elecraft@mailman.qth.net"

Re: [Elecraft] OT - 6m antenna

Many thanks for all the nice responses. I didn't give the background of my request...I have built lotsa wire dipoles.   However I wanted to build a rigid 6m dipole.  And if someone else has done it with accompanying explanation and diagram, I can build it without having to think...always a good

[Elecraft] OT - 6m antenna

I want to start giving 6m a try, since my K3 is the first rig I have had that covers 6m.  Recently I read an article describing a homebrew 6m dipole.  The author had constructed a simple dipole using aluminum flat stock and rods, along with some u-bolts.  I can not for the life of me find that
