[drakelist] 20M Net
20M Net Hi, guys Been scanning the comments about a 20 meter net. Two concerns about 14.238. It is the primary alternate SSTV frequency (used if 14.235 is tied up), and I seem to recall there is some sort of DX net or group that meets there - I don't recall when, so that may not be a problem. I think a 20 meter net would be a good idea, especially during the winter months. But during summer, I'm not so sure participation would hold up. 73, Bob AE4FA

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. Al, N7IOH Mark Gilger wrote: Mark Gilger [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterence to the drakelist gang -- 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? 73's, Mark WB0IQK _ On the road to retirement?

[drakelist] SW-2 Remote Control
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 Mike K8SWL

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!

Rodger, My manual seems to indicate ESC8 (hold down ESC, and tap 8) toggles between the two modes. Does that do it? If not, let me know and I'll keep digging.

RE: [drakelist] 20M Net just do it
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 frequencyis 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!!
