ECN time.Idiot 'alarm clock' pheasant was late, but I got on 7045 kHz around
0400Z hoping to find somebody still around. Nothing except a S5 RTTY and a
continuous pulsed signal both from the west, but cond
Howdy Folks,
With a little help from my friends ECN was able to get folks from
across the continent to participate this evening. 20 meters was much
quieter than 40 but what else is new? KE0X, Rich, in Nebraska responded
to our plea for another state and brought NE to the list. Only three
I have just one bit of advice: TAKE YOUR TIME. When I'm expecting a new radio
to arrive, I want it so bad I can just about taste it. When my K2 arrived, it
took a lot of control to slow down and make sure I understood what I was doing
at each step before I did it. But it paid off in the end.
i use the "by-ear plus" method to zero beat my KX1 when i need too.
i have the KX1 in the CW mode, and the step tuning in the 100Hz step position.
When i hear someone i want to zero beat i zero them by ear and then go down 6
steps.
It is easy to hear the steps in the 100Hz position.
When i go dow
Hi - I have a brand new unbuilt XV50 6m transverter that I would like to swap
for an un-built OR nicely built XV144 2m transverter. Thanks!

I would use an electrolytic and tantalum; both are small and polarized.

I have wound quite a few coils and never tight enough to stretch the wire.
However, I find the toroids supplied with kit # 4509 very sharp on the edges
and the red wire especially easy to strip. I didn't need any iron with a
hot blob of solder to strip off the insulationas in the past

It is astonishing to me that the K2 with the teeny-tiny 160 mtr board can do
what it does on this band. It hears so well, and is so immune to IMD from
strong stations sometimes encountered on top-band...
Friday night I operated K2 QRP as W5YA, High Desert QRP Club.. operated only
