I have a difficult BCB interference that I'm trying to resolve for a fellow ham. It is present on both a K3 and a 7800 at the station. When switching to 160M, there is a constant noise level of about
Can someone point me to a schematic for a transverter that can run with a K3? I'd like to build something up to try this out this new band. Dennis W1UE On 11/15/2015 1:21 PM, Merv Schweigert wrote: E
I guess its good I asked! I already have a K3, and it already has the new synthesizer boards. I didn't realize that the K3 put out 1mw on the transverter output; I did know it would directly tune the
I plan to be on the ARRL 160M contest next weekend from the CW5W station in Uruguay. Sunset in CX is 2236, Sunrise 0826Z. It is almost summer here! Loosen up those beverages and Rx arrays and turn th
Guys Last night was frustrating. I know a lot of you were calling, but I was only able to pull out 7 stations, all W5 and W7. The noise level here was a constant S9. If you translate the seasons into
I recently operated as CX/W1UE, from Uruguay. I had difficulty hearing stations on most nights, but the night from 2200Z Thursday Dec 10 to 0600Z Friday Dec 11, I had no trouble hearing stations on e
Ollie Started on 80M at 2306Z when I worked SM3EVR. From 2306z-0150Z, all 80m, worked 11 Europeans. Called CQ on 160M at 0145Z or so, worked 1 USA station. Dinner was from 0150-0350z. 80M again, from
Art I operated the entire Stew with a 160m 4-square antenna, with no listening antennas. One hand on the keyboard, one hand on the 4-square directional switch. After every CQ, if a signal was not hea
All the CX/W1UE QSOs were loaded into LOTW this morning. I made 387 Qs while I was there, and 178 of them are already confirmed! If you think you made a QSO and your not uploaded, drop me a note dire
Pete We installed and I used exactly such an antenna at VE3/N2WQ this past year. The loops were easy to construct, and the project was built around 3x3" pieces of wood. The loops were located around
I have Comtek box that uses Radio Shack RS275-218C relays. I would like to cross-reference that part number to an existing relay from a different manufacturer, as the RS relays are no longer easy to
Great job, Jeff! Dennis W1UE While it is still fresh in my mind and while I have a few moments this morning, I thought I might pass along a few OPERATING OBSERVATIONS that I made while over at JT5DX
Chuck Having used both at a number of stations, I can speak with some experience here. The biggest virtue I have found of an 8 Circle array is the ability to put a bothersome station or noise in a nu

Speaking of CQ160 SSB and ARRL DX CW, I will be in HR for both of the contests this year. Callsign will either be HR9/W1UE or HQ9X (I don't have the authorization for the HQ9X yet). I plan on putting

My operation today nearly didn't happen. We lost power at 2020z yesterday, and it didn't come back on until 2340z! But it was back on time, and I was back CQing on the low bands. Bands were fairly qu
Having operated from the W1KM station, that has 40, 80, and 160M 4-squares in a salt water marsh, your success may depend on how much salt water intrusion you have into the marsh each day. That's som
