[Elecraft] MFJ's good service
After complaining about the problems with my R8 vertical, I want to mention that not only did MFJ agree to send me a new trap under warranty, but I received it today! That is great service, considering that shipping to Israel from the US often takes a couple of weeks. I have learned an important lesson, which is that the R8 is actually rated for 750W CW (or 500 RTTY/digital), at least on the bands from 18 MHz and down. -- 73, Vic, 4X6GP/K2VCO Rehovot, Israel http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

What makes this an especially nice Christmas is that all her treatments were completed this week, ending what has been the most difficult period in the nearly sixty years we've been married. The oncologists continue to tell us she's cancer free but aren't making any predictions about when she'll be back to normal, other than to say it will be several months. Her hair is starting to grow back and is about a half an inch long and dark grey. They say it will return to her normal color in a few weeks. She has several hats and caps ... they're actually stylish and cute. (:-)) We don't know future details yet ... the next meeting will be on January 14th for follow-up checks, CT scan, etc. She'll be monitored for five years. Her attitude through all this has been really positive. She's shown her strength and I'm very proud of her. The staff at the Community Cancer Center in Missoula has been wonderful.

[Elecraft] Subject: 240V Line
First best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I think I chose a 25A twist-lock receptacle for my 4KV-1A PS. I ran 8-3 plus No. 10 safety ground cable because I did want to split out 120vac to two duplex outlets using two separate 20A breakers. That gives me 120v for my station 12v-50A supply and a Motorola 26v/12v PS that powers my HF 300w and 222-MHz 150w PA's. 120v also goes to the HVPS and last outlet powers my mini mw oven (for heating coffee, etc.). I will add another 25A outlet for the 50v-50A PS for my 1100w 6m linear that is planned to be added, soon. Having the 240v 20A breaker in the room is handy if the PS trips it off. Took me about half a day to run it. The bedroom that serves as my ham shack has standard No. 12 romex run to the outlets that power the computer stuff, lights and some small wall warts, wx station, 24v PS for my relays. Outlets are typical 15A rating. My home has a 4-foot high crawl space so running the 240v line was easy. I drilled a hole in the floor of the utility room where the main load center is located and ran PVC conduit from box to floor. I did the same thing in the bedroom next to the wall where my radio rack is installed. The HVPS outlet is wired with a short run of No. 10 thru conduit to standard metal surface 4x4 box with single 25A outlet. I see about 3v sag in 240vac when I key my 8877 at 1400w (draws 3.8kV@700ma on anode). the 240v run is about 35-foot. The extra remnant of the 8-3 wire was used to wire my 6500w Honda generator into a 200A cutover switch mounted next to my meter box. I have just enough of the 8-3 left to use for wiring 28vdc at my dish for my 1296 300w amplifier from the 18A Astron PS that sits in a wx-tight box under the 16-foot dish. 73, Ed -- From: Jim Brown j...@audiosystemsgroup.com To: Reflector Elecraft elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] 240V Line Message-ID: 549b087e.1010...@audiosystemsgroup.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Installing a 240V outlet is not a big deal unless the construction of your home makes it difficult to run the cable. Barring that, a competent electrician should be able to do that in a half day; a difficult run could double the work. All that is required is a pair plus a Green wire. If you also want 120V outlets from the same circuit, you'll need another conductor for the neutral. A single 20A 120/240V circuit will run all the ham gear in most stations, even for SO2R. If you're smart, you'll use #10 copper, 20A outlets, and a 20A breaker. While #10 is rated for 30A, our stations don't need 30A, but the bigger copper will reduce the voltage drop. There are MAJOR advantages to running all the gear in our stations from outlets that share the same Green wire, or outlets whose Green wires are bonded together.

Something would have to break to trip a 20A breaker in a legal, single-operator ham station. I'm set up for SO2R with a pair of legal limit Ten Tec Titan amps running on the same circuit. In SO2R, only one transmits at a time. But on occasion, I've hit a string of dits to tune one amp while the other is transmitting. I've never tripped a breaker. I have occasionally blown fuses on the amps. Remember that most breakers are designed to not trip until current has exceeded their limit by some percentage, and for some time. A big over-current (like 35A) will trip a 20A breaker very quickly, but 25A will take a while longer. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] MFJ's good service
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised. Making my own coil would be harder than it looks. It has to be the correct inductance, of course, but the trap's capacitance is provided by the distributed capacitance between the turns of the coil and the capacitance between the coil and the aluminum trap cover. So it needs to be the same physical size and shape as the original, unless I want to be prepared to fool around with the length of the antenna. Because of the location on the roof, it isn't easy to take down and put up, so I would prefer a minimum of cut-and-try.

Re: [Elecraft] 240V Line
In retrospect, its better if you contract a licensed electrician to run 240v wiring as his license is at risk and is liable if codes are violated. If you are not sure of the code and regulations, then I would say don't DIY. I am lucky as there is no zoning or covenants where I live. Legally, perhaps a building permit is required (by the county) but standard practise is to ignore it if owner built. I put up a 12x38-foot shed wired with lights and added a backyard driveway with no permits. The property assessor has visited since and added the improvements with nothing said. But this is rural Alaska where things are more relaxed. Also, I worked for a licensed electrician when I was younger so I am familiar with std practise. I hired electrical work at my old workplace so I had a business relationship with electrical contractor who was willing to sign-off on my work (he did the inspection). My prior home was owner-built in 1955 1971 and wired by the owner with 2-wire outlets. FHA bought off on that (grandfathered it) so I did not have to rewire the house (newer half was done with U-ground outlets. I did have to fix a bunch of ground faults and other mistakes and add GFI outlets in kitchen and bathroom. I opened one outlet in the utility room to find black charred wiring (I removed the outlet and used a blank cover and removed the circuit at the breaker box). But current home is built in 1994 and modern five-star energy home - done right. A plus is that utilities are buried so HF line noise is low. Ham radio was a consideration when we chose the home. 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com Kits made by KL7UW Dubus Mag business: dubus...@gmail.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] Subject: 240V Line
Yup. Last year I was changing the primary taps on a massive 3.5 kVA Dahl transformer on a homebrew amplifier. Instead of connecting the line to the 0V and 220V taps as I intended, I connected it to the 220V and 240V taps. When I turned it on, it popped 1. The 15A breaker in the amplifier, 2. The 20A breaker on the wall where my 240V line (#10) came in, and 3. The 30A breaker at the service entrance. It also temporarily welded the contacts of the contactor in the amplifier. It did NOT blow any diodes (maybe because they were 6A10's) or capacitors. I can only imagine what the secondary voltage might have been if the diodes and capacitors hadn't looked like a short in the instant (it seemed instantaneous to me) before the breakers went. Don't do this, but if you do it's good to have lots of breakers.

BTW, the lowest cost I've found is Swiss Post at 20 CHF for 20 IRCs. At current exchange rates (http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/) that's about $1.05 each! 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] IRCs
The postmark is *optional* - that is what (facultative) in the origination box means. The full translation is: Home country control fingerprint (optional) or Issuing country postmark (optional) The issuing country identification (e.g., SU) is sufficient. Any clerk that refuses to honor unpostmarked IRCs needs to be taught remedial French and be given an attitude adjustment. 73, ...
