Good morning Mike, Those guidelines are a great way to sober up on a Saturday morning! Many thanks - I have never used a spark gap type gizmo. Very interesting reading - I need more ground rods! I ne
Mike, The beauty of this list is that all of this great information can be shared by the effort of folks in the know - like you. As I said - now I need more ground rods :>) 73, Kris KM2KM Briançon, F
Hands off my old mitters! No phasing out, they are already out of phase. I promise not to use the spark gap during sports events :>) Kris KM2KM -- Original Message -- From: "Bob McGraw - K4TAX" <RMcG
Now you opened the floodgates Dave, I have been holding my thoughts on this - You take your favorite Drake R-4C with its three CW filters on the back (no worry about slots) for 1.5Khz; .5Khz and .250
Rick's message on practicality is sound. My 80 meter vertical started out as a "Marconi" That is ground rod in the ground directly under the 7/8" X 63' Cable TV feeder line found in a recycling yard
boys and girls, FYI on rec with normal volume and on battery at 13.00 volts, the argosy II with display and meter lamp 800 mA with the display off 500 mA with display off and meter lamp off 350 mA I
I would go for the 30-40 model. 30 meters is very QRP friendly and there are QRP clubs such as the NW that meets on 30. I've been using the OHR Explorer II, on 30 Mtrs., since the 90s at the home QTH
Steve, Your did not mention if you poked the reset button. That is my favorite first step with my Delta II. Kris KM2KM -- Original Message -- From: "Steve Weber" <kd9bo@mac.com> To: <TenTec@contestin
Bob, Good choice the 30 - 40. 80 metrs CW - there is life there - that was the band that I started out on with crystal control. Nice choice too. There are QRP hang outs there. Kris KM2KM -- Original

Ok, there have been a few suggestions in the mic being the problem. If you do not have an alternative mic, then carefully use an insulated jumper wire to touch the two pins together that are the PTT
Another take on the need. I have seen dust covers and they do look neat, but my lineup is always changing and there is nothing like a nice bath towel to cover the Delta II and Centaur plus tuner. The
The shack photos are interesting all right. I liked the flat braid ground straps into an antenna switch cabinet. BUT what is that neat little paddle under OZ1BII's Eagle? I can't make out the manufac
Peg, Many thanks for the "heads up" The Palm website is a whole new world of neat keying approaches. I do not have the Eage, but I do have the Argo't V (It looks almost exactly like the Eagle :>) 73,
Paul it is tricky http://www.tentec.com/pages/Transceiver-Downloads.html Then scroll down to the 516 and when you click on firmware 1.08 it will download You may have to go to your download folder on
This will be shocker, but the Yaesu 857D, has been an easy rig to carry around from place to place - I've run it from car batteries and also power supplies. It covers from 160 to VHF, is so small, up
I have found on the Argonaut V that w/o grounding (As per the manual of course but real hams go for the smoke test first.) there are problems of RF feedback etc. It seems that grounds are essential t
We all have " accents" that is for sure, but Tennessee is not what I as a New Englander (SW CT type, not VT, not W. Mass, not Boston, nor Maine nor swamp Yankee, etc.) would call a "Southern" accent.
John, Many thanks for the excellent summary of commentary - it was a long thread. The sobbering reflection on what happens to accumulated treasures is food for thought. Perhaps a slow and steady flow
