In October 1999 the previous year's growth was 1/2 percent. The growth for the year following the CW reduction was 1 percent. The only large change was upgrades from General to Extra, which was 30%.
The FT1000MP is entirely different than the 1000D or 1000. It keys the carrier after the filters, not before them. The problem with the MP is entirely due to the waveshape of the envelope near the ma
Hi George, Thanks for looking at the MP. I sure wish I would have looked at all this years ago! IMO the .1 uF cap or larger is acceptable with the added resistor. IMO ~2mS rise and fall is shorter th
George and I are talking off the reflector. I'm sure we will either agree or agree to disagree with good reason soon. AGC is NOT an issue because the main signal is outside the passband of the recei
Slowing the CW does not reduce the bandwidth in typical operation. Changing CW speed can change the spacing of sidebands and the number of clicks per second, but not the overall bandwidth of transmi
CCIR standards and the FCC, which the CW keying section in the Handbook is based on, say: 2ms rise and a fall is good for 100 WPM or so in a K5 (fading) circuit and 150 wpm in non-fading circuits. 5
Hi Sege, I am not sure if you are serious, but this is the day we have for jokes in the USA. In case anyone takes that serious, it was not. The earth could rotate 10,000 miles per second, and there
Even lightning doesn't move around as much as this thread. Since the cloud is the primary concentration point of charge, there is very little you can do about it except to have something discharge th
setting is 4 msec with clicks to reduce for this radio I wonder why manufacturers bother to give a rise and fall number that is so far off?? Do you think they count rise and fall times as the sum of
....and that minority makes what? A few multipliers more and virtually no more QSO's. Big deal. It isn't worth doing that any more than it is worth working someone on 7125 or 7127 LSB, or going down
Perhaps you haven't been following the thread closely. Some people aren't making sense or even offering solutions. They are using this as a forum to open the door to generally degrading anyone who i
Let's assume I have a Bird 43 showing 140W forward and 15W reflected using a 250W slug. The power reading error range of a Bird 43 using a 250W slug (calibrated to factory spec) for both forward and
I think what computer programmers need to do is have a "signal lost" indicator on the screen. RTTY is not like normal modes (sorry, the Devil made me say that) in that the operator often cannot hear
One thing you have to remember is a big hard case doesn't protect the rig from anything but punctures or point impacts. All of the real protection is in the padding. I've seen several radios and doz
Different problem. That was a rigid jacket. He described flexible cables with foil and woven shields, not solid extruded non-ribbed (unlike Heliax, which is ribbed) shields like those that created p
Very doubtful unless you have the cable firmly anchored at the ends with no slack or stress relief. It is normally from mechanical tension either during or after installation. Been there, had it hap

We have another AM BC station that has been running amuck on 160. I got a positive ID on it tonight. It is WRJS in Swainsboro GA. According to the FCC database (might not be current) they are suppose
Anyone who sleeps during a contest for any reason obviously does not want to win very bad. The only possible exception is a ten meter or 160 meter contest. I just can't imagine being "tired" and pul
Lee, Something like that would be interesting to everyone. I'd certainly enjoy that myself. Hopefully someone knows something and has a helpful link or article. Right now we are slowly building a SO
