Hi Dave and all, Even though I haven't shown up Tuesday nights, I want everyone to know that I am on 222 and available for skeds and certainly for contests and hopefully band openings. It's just Tues
Joel doesn't have this connector in his catalog, but he will probably know about it. I have seen these and think I even had some at one point.. I am checking the "junque" (good luck with that!!) bill
Since he specifically says 8 pins, I think Dan is talking about the 8 pin "Band data" connector with a BCD output that is what connects to a linear to change bands, or could be used through a breakou
Hi all, well, things don't always go as planned! I hadn't planned on a BIG showing this contest with a bunch of projects that didn't get completed especially fixing my rotor which is still stuck SW.
Hah, That's "circles and arrows and a paragraph about each one...." I think. thank you Arlo Guthrie.. Apropos to Pete, K1PXE, getting his rotor fixed, I am now in that "ROTATABLE" group as well.. I h
Hi all, I have a couple boat anchors here. They are Henry 2002A's that are tuned to 155MHz. They are easily converted to 2M or 222 BUT there seems to be so much LDMOS solid state stuff available now

Hi all, Dave's posting about the 222 beacons prompted me to look WNW for the VE2FUT beacon (now that my rotator works again!). I copy it today about S2 w/QSB on 222.281 (or thereabouts).. At first th
Wow, this ability to turn the antenna really helps me!!! hah hah... so on 222: VE2FUT/B in FN25UK s2 (this is a different 6 digit grid than I see listed. Did Stu move it?) K2DLL/B in FN23XC about s1

FWIW, the 15 element 432 Yagi, designed by the late Don Hilliard, W0EYE (later W0PW), was published in QST in 1972. I am pretty sure this was one of the "NBS" Yagi designs that we all gravitated to i
Hi all, Well that was pretty surprising!! Before the Sprint I was hoping just to work W1AIM in FN34. I have been missing Chip lately and now that my antenna rotates, I can point west.. I had noticed
Hi Dave and all, as many of you know I work Tuesday nights, normally getting home around 9:30. This has kept me off the air for Tuesday "activity night". BUT,.. tonight I will get on for the 220 Spri
Hi all, I'll be on at the start tonight from FN54JQ. How long I hang around depends on condx and activity I guess. I'll be on KST chat as well.. As we say up here. "POINT NORTH!!!" bill, K1DY in Main
Hi all, I had a fun time in the Sprint last night. Managed 17Q's in 13 grids in 3 hours of operating. Didn't work my own grid or anything north or east. Well I did work Stu, VE2XX, in FN25 so that's
Hi all, I have a Beko HLV-950 6 Meter linear that belonged to Stan, K3IPM, and was used for 7 or 8 years ONLY at his January VHF contest station in PA. That means the rig has MAYBE 100 hours on it to

Hi Paul and all, I agree with Paul about the KO1I beacon thanks Chuck!!.. Even though it's so loud here I could probably copy it using an underground wet noodle (UWN) as an antenna, it still let's me
