Thanks Alan....I goofed by saying there is not an Orion reflector on contesting.com. As Alan points out, it is still in existance. But please use Alan's URL to get to it. Tom - W4BQF Last I checked i
Yes, I heard it also but could not identify it. Was about S-6 in south Georgia. Tom - W4BQF Did anyone monitor some type of strange signal around 3.530 (or maybe 3.540) on Wednesday evening (didn't g
Malcolm, Certainly agree with you! That is the worst sounding sidetone I've ever heard on any radio! Modifying it is almost essential, to me as I can't hardly send CW without hearing a 'good' sideton
Hi David, Your and my interest kinda run along the same path's! Love contesting, but don't have the antennas to really be competitive; I still get into them 'thinking' I'm gonna win! Hasn't happened
That could be Perry. However I have never heard anything but the raspy buzzsaw square wave oscillator tone from any Corsair 2 I have listened to. Any Corsair 2 I owned, I have always installed a simp
Don, Very simply solve the two year problem of random loss of RF output power in full QSK CW operation, when using a Ten Tec amplifier in the keying loop and solve the random loss of receiver audio.
Malcolm, For frequency stabilization of the Corsair 2 (and other TT PTO rigs) look at this web site. http://home.comcast.net/~k4dpk/ A friend of mine, Lyle/W9FCX has recently installed this VFO Stabi
Good point's and everyone has their own opinion. One of the things I enjoy doing in this hobby is contesting. I am fortunate enough (I called 'worked hard') to have decent enough antennas that at tim
Haw...what a goof!! I'm sure lots of folks would love to do that however! Of course I meant 200 QSO's per hour....per minute..sheeeze! Tommy W4BQF Three per second. Not much time to chew the rag! Mar
Martin has already informed me that I'm NOT that good! Goodness, my first mistake this year, and its only March!! Tommy W4BQF Hey Tommy, you really are good. I can only just beat that in an hour ;-))
No there isn't! My other brain cell was momentarily disengaged! Tommy W4BQF Three per second. Not much time to chew the rag! Martin AA6E QSO's ;-)) -- martin.ewing@gmail.com http://blog.aa6e.net ____
Hi Bill, I'm not sure there is anything written about it, but cleaning it sure does help. On my Titan 425, which gave me 12 years of excellent service, I made it a habit in the early fall each year t
Hi Henrik, I still have the Titan 425, but right now it's blowing 20 amp fuses in the power supply, which probably means the tubes are shot. Just have not had time to trouble shoot it yet. But this i
Tim, I just tested a Titan425 for a friend of mine. He had it sitting in his closet for 14 years!! Removed the tubes. Used a computer pc card flange to over ride the interlock switches on the amp uni
This is interesting/funny. I wonder why we get into this 'niggle-fit' to get exactly zero beat with our QSO partner? I'm very guilty! I use TunWin, set to my offset frequency, and get smack zero beat
I wonder if I could use the RF exposure calculator to sue the US Navy for making me work on the flight deck of aircraft carriers that were running some 2 megawatts RF power with their search radar? T
Dave, 'tunewin' is really a neat little program. It sits snuggly within my use of YPlog. Lot of folks using it sure would like to see it be able to retain the position and setting they have to progra
Thanks Stuart. A shorted tube will do the same thing. Tommy W4BQF Tommy, more likely a diode or capacitor in power supply is cause of the short circuit indicated by 20 amp fuse blowing. Stuart K5KVH
Scott, I agree. I was watching the thread about your simple request and was really disgusted by the responses you got from these 'hams'. Some of the worst display of ham 'helpfulness' I've every seen
Well Scot, not much encouraging to report, that I can find so far. Although at one time I thought that Barry/N1EU web site used to have some Omni C mods, they are no longer posted. You might take a l
