I may be wrong, but I think the 3-400 chimney is too short for the

RE: [drakelist] 20M Net "just do it"

2004-10-15 Thread Jack Wilson



Hi,
 
I'm a 
K1 in 5 land but I couldn't agree more.  "just do it".  If it doesn't 
work at whatever time or whatever frequency,  you
can 
move the whole gang someplace else.  But talking about it and not doing it 
won't get anything done!
 
Now, 
having said that, I won't be there this Saturday.  Have to go to see BIGTEX 
at the TEXAS STATE FAIR!
 
I will 
be looking for whatever frequency is decided on the following Saturday or 
weekend.
 
If I 
still had my beam and my L4B going, I would gladly be a net control.  But I 
don't think anyone wants a TR4 on
a 
shoestring in an antenna restricted neighborhood being the control 
station.
 
Support  doing away with the CC & R restrictions!  BPL is 
secondary!!
 
Jack

73 Jim SM2EKM
Add me to the 20M Net list.
K1MAN is required by US and International regs to check for
activity *prior* to transmitting.  If he transmits on top
of an existing QSO he will be warned by Riley Hollingsworth,
then fined, then if he continues will have his equipment
confiscated and his license revoked.
The simple solution is to publicize the Net, make sure
sufficient KW signals are present to hold the frequency,
then document carefully any interference from K1MAN or
anyone else.
No-one "owns" any frequency other than first-come first-
served.  Yielding a frequency to a Net or self-appointed
neo-legal broadcaster is a voluntary not mandatory choice
by the person or persons first on freq.
I am not suggesting that we go looking for trouble but
I strongly dislike anyone broadcasting on a Ham band --
do it properly get a shortwave freq. allotment outside
of the Ham bands!

[drakelist] SW-2 Remote Control

2004-10-15 Thread Michael Wagner
  The SW-2 receiver offered as an option a remote control. I bought mine used with out that option. Looking at pictures of it, it appears to be a more or less standard remote control unit. I tried programming a couple different universal remotes to no avail. My question is, was there some type of interface required in addition to the reomte control or was the remote control that unique to the SW-2? 
 
  I even tried using the codes of a Drake Satellite receiver on a couple remotes without any success. The manual makes no reference to the remote control.
 
    Hope someone has some help on this as I would love to control the receiver from across the room.
Thanks

Sounds like a reasonable suggestion to meand might I suggest that as you all

drakelist chat function to communicate as you are setting up the times and 
frequency.

The chat function can be reached at
http://www.zerobeat.net/drakelist/chat.html
It's a web based IRC clientworks well.
It is NOT intended to replace an on-air qso,
nor is it psuedo-ham radio like Echolink
Since it is not uised that often, you won't see
the number of users you see in a normal IRC channel.
So...please don't tell me no one is there, or that it
ain't real ham radio, or you don't like IRCuse it
if you like to exchange information about how to setup
the 20 meter net/roundtable.

   Hi Mark Gilger and the group.  I for one would like to try the round 
table idea on 20 meters on 14.238 at 4 pm Eastern time (2000Z)  on 
Saturday and see how it works out.  If we all sit back and do nothing, for 
sure nothing is going to happen.  I will have my radio set to 14.238 this 
Saturday at 2000Z and see how the band is.  If anyone has any other ideas 
lets hear them.  We can always change things if we need to and who knows 
it might turn out to be good for a lot of the Drake operators.  We may 
need to move up or down from 14.238 depending on usage so listen around.

Seems there is some interest in reviving some type of net on 20 meters.

This doesn't even need to be a net, it could just be an agreed upon time 
and freq. to meet and have a round table. If there is enough interest, 
and volunteer's to be net control,  then it could develop into an 
official net.  From all the response, it seems the old net expired due to 
a lack of participation, so there might not be enough to get this thing 
off the ground anyway. Is it worth a try???

Let me start off by suggesting we set the time and day to Saturday at 4 
pm Eastern (2000z) at 14.238 +/- .  Since the 40 meter net is on 7.238 at 
2000z, that might be easy to remember.  Or how about 14.338??

It's been so long since I've been on 20 meters, this freq. might not even 
be available.

Anyone else have any suggestions?
