Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters Newbie

I love the VE7CC cluster and cluster client. Wouldn't exchange it for anything, the filtering is wonderful. I use it with HRD via a localhost telnet connection so I have point and click to qsy with HRD's cluster window. But there is a significant delay between spots showing in the VE7CC client

Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters Newbie

Go to configuration-port/logging program and down in the lower right you will see enable K3 with a comport to select. After that just click on the frequency in the DX window. It changes only frequency not mode. ab2tc wrote: I love the VE7CC cluster and cluster client. Wouldn't exchange it

David, Your symptoms clearly indicate that you are suffering from 6m Bugitis, and I regret to have to tell you that there is no known cure! As you point out there is a lot going on on 6m, even during the lean times, more than one would believe from reading the text books. Also don't be fooled

Hello Dave, Well, I sure hope you were on this morning for the biggest Es opening ever from North America to Eastern and Northern EU! Watch the ON4KST 6m chat pages and maps for signs that things are starting to open. It went from the northeast USA all the way across to the Pacific

For those of you who were sleeping or writing comments to the list here this morning, 6 meters was open in the grandest i've seen it in years.  Hundreds of paths from the SE thru the NW part of the country working into Europe and even the middle east.  Unfortunately it didn't get into western

Which is why, as a resident of southern AZ, I'm finding it hard to get motivated to put up a 6-meter antenna :-( --- On Sun, 6/20/10, Larry Godek telegrap...@att.net wrote: From: Larry Godek telegrap...@att.net Subject: [Elecraft] 6 meters To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Date: Sunday, June 20

Same here Tony. Heard DK and S5 very weakly. It was very cool to hear the W7 stations working EU and quite the variety of callsigns too. I bet such a path is rare. We'll have our day. 73, Bob K3UL __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Hi All, I seem to be digging myself a bigger and bigger hole called 6 meters! First I just decided to see what could be heard on that band. Not much--at least at first. But then I got a dose of sporadic E, and things started getting a bit more interesting. Then one of my friends talked me

Hi Wayne, Good points. You had also mentioned the need for an amp if I wanted more TX power than the XV50 provides. Another good point. But, if I decide to keep my XV50 will you make me a black metal chassis housing with white lettering so that it will match my K-3? :o) Thanks and best to

I purchased a used FT 100 just to monitor 6 while using the other bands with the K3. Today there is a great opening. Signals are screaming from the FT 100 and hardly heard on the K3 using an antenna switch. Guess I better get a Preamp in line quickly. Phil Philip LaMarche LaMarche
