Has anyone heard anything about a possible release date for this new QRP radio? I am really itching to get one and use it with my VHF transverters. Steve WA9JML ______________________________________
I got my novice ticket in 1963, and got on the air with a Knight T-60 transmitter, a command set 40 meter receiver, and a Gotham v-80 vertical antenna. I failed my general test in Chicago, but recoup
I mounted the Gotham antenna with conduit clamps and porcelain insulators on a 15 foot long redwood 4x4. I had it for many years, but left it when I left a rented house, and I think someone pitched i
I am eagerly awaiting the availability of the new 539 QRP rig. If it pans out, and I think it will, my Corsair II station will be on the block. I have had a great time with QRP, and have worked a sur
I'm just waiting patiently (HAH!!!) for the release of the Argo VI. If it works well enough, I will probably buy an Eagle to replace my Corsair II. 73, Steve WA9JML __________________________________

I am keeping my Argonaut II, but I ordered one of the Argo VIs the second day out. I should get mine sometime late in January. Looking forward to that! 73, Steve WA9JML I had one once, and like a dum
I ordered an Argonaut VI to try out with my Elecraft transverters, so it is good to know that the little radio is clean and should work well in this application. Right now, I am using the Argo II and
I have not gone to a hamfest in years. I have never been to Dayton, but that is something to consider if I ever retire. And, I don't worry too much about magazine advertising. But, on a much happier
From my experience the noise blanker in the Corsair II is pretty useless. It may have worked on the Russian Woodpecker back in the bad old days. The one in my Omni V.9 was not much better. The best n
I was trying to use the notch on my Corsair II during the Wisconsin QSO Party, and it has stopped working along with the audio filter for CW. Can anyone give me some pointers on what might be wrong o
Very true. I have mostly worked QRP over the years, and while it can be frustrating at times, getting a new one with 5 to 10 watts is quite a thrill. The last sunspot peak, I was writing my doctoral
Thanks for bringing these books to our attention, Jim. I just ordered the one for vertical antennas, and will get the book for the tribanders when I can finally move someplace where I can put one up.
I bought a nice Centaur amplifier from a list member a few years ago, and finally got around to putting it on the air. I took out the 572B tubes that were installed in the amp, and put the original 8
I just unplugged the amp, shorted the B+ and carefully reseated the tube. Now, it works again. Kris, the only time mine has blown fuses was when I inadvertently kept the bandswitch on 40 and tried to
I run the amp on its own 220 volt circuit. 73, Steve WA9JML _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tent
I am trying to install this update, and get nowhere. With the older firmware program, I can read the radio settings on com3. When I install the latest update software, and set it for com3, I get an e
I am not sure what sorts of noise the Corsair II noise blanker is designed to work on. It does not seem to do much on any noise I encounter here. The noise blanker in my Omni V was also pretty much u

It also helps to notice that split is still invoked, when QSYing from the CW portion of the band to the phone portion of the band. Steve WA9JML 73, Charles K0cw Sent from my iPhone On Jan 20, 2014, a
