Hi, guys, I am selling my K1 but don't really know how much to ask for it
or how to sell it. I built it myself to a very good standard and it works
like a dream, any thoughts.

I just wonder if somebody tried to weatherproof the KAT100 and operated it
remotely directly at the antenna?

I only have the freeware versions of EAGLE and ExpressPCB to use.
Does anyone know if the Gerber files I received can be imported into either
Eagle or ExpressPCB? If so,
I think you are right on the money, Craig. That's my concern, that we are
all living a long-standing myth which DID have a basis in fact 30 years ago,
but is irrelevant to the world today. LOCAL hams can provide a vital
communication link with VHF from the immediate area hit to the outside
world.
The longer we hold onto this myth, the more likely we are going to be
found out by those who regulate ham radio. We need leaders who can
help shape ham radio to fit the current reality, not bemoan the dirth
of skilled CW operators as a problem.
This all wraps around to dropping the Morse

Hi,
One thing that most miss in this debate, especially on the gov. is the
realization that communications is a skill that is every bit as important as
the technical knowledge required to turn a piece of wire into a working
antenna. It seems on the gov. side that communications skills means the

those nets. Today, hams are simply

The riff raff was deeply entrenched on 75 before VEC. I never tuned it for
visitors as there was always something embarassing I had to explain away.
Some of the AM vs. SSB wars on 75 were truly twisted events during the
transition.
The code requirement hasn't been an effective riff raff filter

Hi, Dave.
This is an interesting idea, but it presupposes the new hams are taught traffic
handling, ICS training, and other things that makes them able to pass emergency
traffic with ANY rig. Maybe we should consider teaching Morse skills as a part
of emergency communications. After all, as

I have been tuning my receiver have determined that I have a few birdies in
the 40M band, but there are more in the 20M band that are a S9 level.
Frequencies are 14.212.22, 14.217, 14.264.8614.315 that all sound more like
buzzing sound. Any ideas?

Bob,
It's likely that these are coming from elsewhere in the shack, not from
the transceiver itself. A working K2 may have a few very weak birdies,
in nearly all cases masked entirely by band noise -- certainly nothing
like what you're describing.
If you can't find external sources, you

There is a real birdie at about 7.000 MHz but it's very sharp and doesn't

The buzzing sounds might be due to a computer or a plasma TV. I've heard

Dave,
Much emergency traffic can be handled with QRP phone rigs using NVIS
antennas consisting of a low dipole for 40 and 80 plus a reflector wire
about a foot off ground. It works like a 2 element beam and easily covers a
couple of states.
I have uses such a beam on 40m from Austin TX to
The problem in the affected areas was the flooding of power sources or total
destruction of antennas, and structures.
Hams need strike teams with HF NVIS and VHF portable capability to work
inside the affected areas.
