[Elecraft] K2 #03756 - Sweepstakes 2004 Report

Greetings all: Like Tom Hammond(N0SS) said... Sweepstakes is FUN! Really the only contest that I put any effort into. This year's effort was minimal... about 11 hours. QRP level and only a low wire make things even more challenging. I didn't manage a clean sweep, but got 'em all except NT,

Re: [Elecraft] WAS in SweepStakes in 6 Hrs (Almost)

I put in about about 6-7 hours of SS - all on 40m with the K2 and a long buddipole up 8 ft in the front yard. About 4 hours were between 0300-0730z and woke up early Sunday morning to put in 2-3 more hours (1230-1500). Had no time after church to work any more SS (was hoping to get on 20m and get

[Elecraft] Legendary Customer Service

Some of you might recall my posting a week or two ago regarding the scratchy AF gain control on my KX1. Well, I went to pick up the mail late last week and what did I find but a small package from Elecraft with a new AF gain pot in it! Thanks guys. Its like having a guardian angel watching over

[Elecraft] FS: HFPack Amplifier Kit

[Elecraft] Mail Folders

This is a long shot, but you guys know everything! I'm trying to delete some unwanted mail folders in Mozilla Thunderbird, using Windows XP Pro. They are frozen, so I need to do it manually. Does anyone know where Thunderbird and Uncle Billy hides them? Thanks, Mike

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Cancellation

But, a wise decision on Kevin's part! 20 was solid CW from 14.000 to 14.095 on Sun (one of those signals was K6SRA, the call I was using from WK6I) CU next Sun Fred K6DGW Auburn CA CM98lw Tom Althoff wrote: Darn! I was hoping to QNI my first Elecraft CW net today with the new improved K2

[Elecraft] k1 completed with SSB

Hi All, I assembled 4 years ago the K2, with all optionals, both QRP and QRO. Last year I assembled the KX1, full optional; either satisfied me very much! Now I have only just finished to assembly the K1 four band with ATU and I wanted to put on the ssb adapter designed by Giuliano I0CG, which

[Elecraft] KNB2 - odd behavior

During SS this past weekend, I QSYed to a well-load 40 late Sunday and noticed an impressive and unusual level of S9 noise. The NB1 was on at the time of the QSY (HI THRU). The DSP denoiser and a tighting of filters helped, but the noise was pervasive and still S5. On whim, I turned off the

[Elecraft] KPA100 T/R Switching Failure

I'll try this again - sorry if it appears twice During SS, one of my K2/100s (4029) failed. No RX and as I recall no TX. It was intermittent at first (and had intermittently shown this symptom before) and to be honest, between fighting a cold and trying to work at least a sweep between family

[Elecraft] Call for SCANS of an UNBUILT KX1 PC board

Hi Folks: Does anyone happen to have an UNBUILT KXI which they might consider scanning BOTH sides of the main PC board for me? I have a request from a user to try to provide him with connection info for the K6XX CW Tuning Indicator to his KX1 and having access to a set of 300 DPI COLOR

[Elecraft] Solar flares and 80M serendipity

The sun had set, and remnants of this week's solar flare were still in the air, so I was expecting near-dead band conditions. I had just settled in to finish my K2 ATU, but decided to turn the rig on to see what the bands sounded like. Right away on 80M I heard someone calling CQ, armchair
