The K1 receiver operates on lower sideband for all bands. If you
have properly set your CW offset to, say, 600 Hz, then your
transmitter frequency will be 0.6 kHz lower than your receiver
frequency. Most hams want the frequency display to show

I'm learning some good stuff on this subject.
Question... has anyone ever heard of or used pure
silicone grease in coax connectors to protect against
moisture and corrosion?

Yes, it does work.
However there is a downside in that the silicon grease prevents most kinds
of tape adhesive sticking to the connector for providing external weather
proofing. The only exeption to this may be the greased fabric tape (Denso
tape)

I recall that Cushcraft supplies a small amount of what
I have not knowingly used silicone grease on coax connectors, but would
discourage liberal use of the stuff. Silicone grease has its place, but if
I were using it, I would only suggest a little dab on the center conductor.
The stuff migrates everywhere and few things will stick to it, so one
I've tried different methods of waterproofing outdoor coax connectors for years,
and here is my experience, for what it's worth:
1) Vinyl electrical tape by itself -- the cheap kinds unwrap themselves. The
expensive Scotch brand (and possibly others) will do a good job, but you need to
This was done frequently on the theory that things could not occupy the same
space at the same time! (silicone grease or water)

I would stay away of any type of silicone because some silicones if applied
directly on the coax will harden the
outer insulation and cause cracks if they are bent.
Also silicone does not have more than 5 years of ageing before it should be
removed and redone.
The cushcraft boots will eventally
Hello OC's and sorry for off topic message!
Because i know thet a great part of worldwide HAM constructors are reading this
reflector i search some help this way:
I am desperatly searching ATMEL's AT90S4433 in TQFP package (32 pin SMD layout).
I need 5 of them (if problem 3 will do the job).

Tom is very correct. In 3M presentations on their specialty tape products,
they emphasized NOT yanking off the end of any tape; but to unroll as Tom
says, and let it relax then CUT the tape from the roll. That way, you
will not have loose ends hanging off the installation after a few weeks.

We'll be looking for your QNI tonight on ECN/30. Look for us on or around 10115
kHz (+/- 2 kHz). I'll start calling around z, and we will try to shut down
by 0100z.
If we get a good turn out, we might try to do this again next week - and see if
we can't make the net format a little more
Because this is my first time trying this (and I wasn't very careful) ... for
our west coast friends, I will call a 2nd edition of the ECN/30 from
0200-0300z. We'll see how well this works out.
Same frequency (10115 +/-2)... only 2 hours later.

My understanding of the place to place silicon grease is NOT upon the
outside of the connector, but rather in the interface between male and
female connectors. The idea is to exclude moisture pooling on the insulator
between the center pin and the outer shell conductor.
However, if you over wrap
I've got to cancel my first attempt at running the net tonight. Something
urgent has come up, and I hope you will understand.

Just a word about what happens when you DON'T waterproof your

worse, it will move into the coax braid by capillary action.

Thanks so much to the reflector for help around the rough bits. Also
thanks to Scott for continuing to send me the parts I lost!
