[Elecraft] Wild QRP at Midnight

The 20 Meter contest has bunches of EU stations coming in so i took my KX1 out in the backyard to try for a few. i was outside walking around at midnight and i worked YL2KO (Latvia) on 14060. This was my first EU contact on 20 whilst being peripatetic mobile. i had my 8 foot whip and a drag wire

Re: [Elecraft] Upgrading Unbuilt K2 #3275

I'm in a similar situation with S/N 3801. There seems to be more differences than stated by Don Wilhelm. For example, C88 in the rev. F manual is new, compared to the rev. D manual. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must

Re: [Elecraft] Wild QRP at Midnight

Like Paul, I found 20 meters last night to be absolutely fabulous. Actually, it's been very good at night off and on for the last several weeks. With my K2 at 5 watts, and just an R7 vertical, I worked one European after another, usually on the first call and with no repeats. If you

Re: [Elecraft] K2 up-to-date assembly sequence?

For those wanting to build a post 3000 SN K2 to the latest level without going through the interim steps of building as instructed FIRST and THEN adding the changes to bring it up to level... You already have a Rev E manual - go to the Elecraft website and download the REV F manual and print pages

Re: [Elecraft] Log Book of the World - LoTW

I'm not using it. I don't actively pursue awards, and it isn't an electronic QSL exchange, so I'm not interested. I do find it fun to receive QSLs in a couple of hours to a few days of making the contact, without all the hassle of filling out manual cards, the cost of printing and postage and

Re: [Elecraft] Log Book of the World - LoTW

I'm not using it because I'd rather have a QSL. At least with EQSL you get a QSL card altho ARRL does not accept them. Jerry - NR5A - South Dakota ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the

Re: [Elecraft] Insulated Backstay

Mike The 23' feet dimension is specified because that is the shortest length the tuners like the SGC230 and Icom AT120/130/140 AH2/3, etc., will load on 2 MHz and 2.182 MHz is the distress frequency on Marine MF - though not monitored much outside the US any more. I have done computer modeling

[Elecraft] XV60 upgrade

Wayne, Perhaps there should be a mention, somewhere in the XV60 manual, to re-tighten the PA nuts after operating for a while. While doing routine checking, I found that mine were relatively loose. Dave KK7SS ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

[Elecraft] Red-Faced about dummy loads :-\

Folks, I was doing some routine maintenance, had the KAT2 disconnected, with a dummy load on the original antenna BNC connector. Finished my checks, replaced the KAT2 and *forgot* to remove the dummy load. DON'T DO THAT You Hi Cur will give you dirty looks because your PA current is

Good idea, Dave. We should probably mention this in all of the manuals ;) Wayne On Jul 11, 2004, at 1:09 PM, Dave G. wrote: Wayne, Perhaps there should be a mention, somewhere in the XV60 manual, to re-tighten the PA nuts after operating for a while. While doing routine checking, I

[Elecraft] Calling frequencies for Elecraft.

I think that it would be great to have calling frequencies set up for elecraft owners. Would make it more like a club and make it easier to obtain the elecraft awards. Jay KC9EUH FP 750 FISTS 10546 SN 1431 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

I want to take the KX1 traveling with me, can the unit be used in airports and on planes with out causing any problems. I don't want to get arrested because it will interfere with aeronautical sensitive electronics ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for 40 meters July 12, 2004

The Elecraft 40 meter net was run on 7044 kHz this evening through much QRN and a bit of QRM. I had Tom for a minute or two. He called the net and got AC7XR but could not drag him in. I got Mark's name and call but that was about it. The noise was just too much. Then along comes John,
