Definitely agree. I regularly operate in the CWops CWT activity at 
0300z, which is 0500 local time for me in the winter. I am limited at 
that time to 40m (I don't have an antenna for 80/160 and the higher 
bands are deader than a doornail).


The majority of my contacts at that hour are with stations in North 
America. I usually S because I am not loud enough there to hold a 
frequency (at least at the beginning). I find that the number of times 
my call is copied incorrectly by the runner goes up rapidly when I send 
at more than about 28 WPM.

[Elecraft] Good Natured Contesting Advice

Yes. And that's why the guys not keeping dupe sheets are so frustrating, 
especially in SS when it's a long exchange.

Yes, I've made some contesters very angry when I've said on the 
CQ-Contest reflector that CQWW is the dumbest contest going, for exactly 
that reason. And it's why so many CW ops love SS -- because it's a long 
exchange, and you have to copy all of it correctly or lose the QSO.


One piece of advice (really a request) to contesters who think they are 
weak, so they repeat everything at least once. Please don't do that -- 
just send your exchange once, and let the other station ask for a repeat 
if needed. Some other contesting advice.


When answering a CQ, send ONLY your call, and never repeat anything that 
the other station copied correctly. For example, if he sent your call 
correctly when he responded to you, don't repeat your call when sending 
your exchange. And when you're the caller, never send the other 
station's call unless there's confusion about who's working who. :) As 
Bob, K6XX, says when he's teaching new contesters, "I know MY call, the 
only one I need is YOURS!


The reasons for all of this is that 1) contesting is about making more 
QOSs, which means doing it faster, so never waste time with anything 
un-necessary; and 2) when you are weak at the other station, or if 
there's QRM or QSB, wasting time sending something un-necessary 
increases the chances that you'll get clobbered by that QRM or QSB!

I got turned off of the CQWW DX CW 'test years ago because of the
absurdly high speeds, of course it is merely a callsign copying event.
OTOH, I generally enjoy the ARRL 160m 'test as it is typically sub 30

[Elecraft] Notice regarding K3S current-sense resistor power rating

2022-11-09 Thread Wayne Burdick
It has come to our attention that a 50 milliohm resistor used for sensing 
current drain on the K3S RF board is, at least on paper, underrated for the 
application. The resistor is R36, used in the low-current path that supplies 12 
V to everything except the KPA3 100 W PA module.

NOTE: 

On the K3, a leaded 2 watt resistor was used.

On the K4, a surface-mount 2 watt resistor was used.

So this issue only affects the K3S, which has a 1/2 watt resistor at this 
location. This was an oversight.

According to our lead repair technician, only one RF-R36 has ever had to be 
replaced during service, and it was in fact stressed because of a short on the 
board. The infrequency of failure is probably due to the conservative power 
rating of the 1/2 W resistor. 

I would not expect adverse effects under typical operating conditions. 

The way you would know that the resistor had been damaged is if the indicated 
non-100 W PA current drain had gone up unexpectedly, or had exceeded the 
allowed range, resulting in a HI CUR warning either in RX or TX mode. Normally 
a basic K3S with no options will have an RX-mode current drain in the range of 
~1.0 A, while the ATU and sub-RX options can bump this up to ~1.5 A. On 
key-down, the indicated current can be as high as several amps. 

The only way to definitively verify a damaged resistor, if there's no HI CUR 
warning, would be to place an accurate external ammeter in series.

Even though we expect instances of damaged current-sense resistors to be very 
few, we will send a leaded, 2 watt substitute resistor to any K3S owner on 
request, at no charge.

If you would prefer to have us remove the SMD resistor and replace it with the 
leaded one, you may send your K3S back to the factory. There will be only 
shipping charges (no charge for parts or labor).

73,
Wayne

Al, if you called CQ at 30WPM and they answered at 45WPM and you had to ask
for repeats, you are not the lid! If they were running at a higher  speed
that you're comfortable with, you probably could figure out their info from
QSOs before and after you. If it is not copyable you just have to move on. I
personally did not see that many super speed ops but I did not S until
late in the contest when most ops were begging.  There were definitely some
very good ops last weekend and I enjoyed all of my QSOs.

Great advice, Al. My friend N6TV, who has won SS several times, starts 
out in the 30s, but slows down towards the end of the contest. Nearly 
all of my operation was 26-28 wpm. I slowed down when someone needed it, 
but it's been observed that a lot of ops who send fairly slow are using 
readers, so that's rarely required. What's more important, I think, is 
sending good clean code.


One tactic I use in pileups is to send as fast as I think the other guy 
can copy, in the hope of sneaking more of my call into a gap between 
other callers. On these occasions, I'll get up to 34 wpm or so. A few 
times I've forgotten to slow back down, so ran for a while before I 
caught my mistake.

for multiple repeats.

Then there's this: When you think about it, there's no incentive to help 
someone like me copy correctly. After all, if I copy incorrectly, I'm the one 
who gets penalized, not him. By asking for a repeat, all I'm doing (in his 
mind) is slowing him down on his run frequency. And probably ticking him off?

I mean, 30 WPM with no repeats is actually faster than 40 WPM with some repeats.

You may say, "Well, Al, you're a lid for entering a contest if you're unable to 
copy quickly enough to participate." Maybe so, but the obstinacy of operating 
at 40+ WPM no matter what shows a colossal disdain for the Little Pistols who 
are the bread and butter of the elite. 

In two weeks we'll get to hear the Phone SS equivalent of this obstinacy: 
absolutely nasty, overdriven, groaty, fingernails-on-a-chalkboard, bad audio. 
How lovely.
