Hello, Today was a very enjoyable day out on the Appalachian Trail. I parked my car around 17:25 UTC and hiked into one of my favorite operating locations in PA. The trail was covered in 4 of snow with another 2 of ice under the snow. So it was a little slippery on the AT today. I arrived

Hi, And how about this... I reckon a hidden metal wire,with a coax connector, and banana plug (for counterpoise) built into the shirt. Medium to small sizes will load 40 to 10m, while the L loads 160m to 10m. Portable, any polarisation. A Stealth antenna Suggest that used for QRP only

[Elecraft] Elecraft QSO party

A few years ago in March there was an Elecraft QSO party. With my K1 I contacted many other Elecraft owners at that time. I also contacted N6KR and WA6HHQ at that time. I believe that the result was a boost to the K1's Mojo. I now have a K3 which is jealous of the Mojo that the K1 has and #696

So I've completed the KAT2, so far so good. I get C55 to 003 +/- 2 (bounces back and forth). R1 set per DL1 calculation, R2 set with matching wiper resistance. CALS reports 1:1 on 80 and 40, though from 30 through 10 it reports from 1.1:1 to 1.9:1 respectively. The documentation says not

this is more radio than I care to deal with. That's why I sold my Drake C Line in 1978, the performance gain and cost didn't seem worth all the adjusting I needed to do each QSY. So I bought a TS520 and a KW. I'd like to think that after the K3 has been configured it would be as easy to use as
