Our thanks to the many Elecrafters who sought out the Mid-MO ARC Halloween Special Event from Frankenstein, Missouri, this weekend. The weather was gorgeous, the fields were harvested, the colors were beautiful., and the witches were flying.
I can emphatically say that without the new Audio Peaking Filter (still in alpha test) a lot of stations would not have made it into our log. I can also emphatically say that an awful lot of CW operators do NOT know how to zero-beat, but that's another issue. However, it IS a relevant issue with the APF. I personally vote for minimal variables. By the time you get a down-in-the-mud AND off-frequency station inside your passband (much less centered), you want to slap the APF on him with minimum fuss. The FT-1000D kept it simple and in this instance, in my opinion, less is more. Again, thanks for the fun, guys. 73, Kent K9ZTV Special Event Chairman Mid-Mo ARC Jefferson City, MO ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
