All correct! It makes no difference what frequency you use on PSK! As long
as the pair of tones are within the 2.8 Khz bandwidth of the "Channel".
There is a 100 Hz. "guard band at the top and bottom edges of the "Channel"
therefore the channel is only 2
s from
stuffing the channel with multiple narrow-band signals.

I have a Palm mini paddle and it woprks great and has held up well. Mine
was a lot cheaper than $95! Guess I got it when the Euro hadn't gone up and
the Dollar hadn't plummetted! Seems like it was $65. Use it with the K1
and best tiny key I've used so far.

really trying and I think they
should be encouraged to preserve our now ancient art of Morse
telegraphywhich is, by the waystill very useful in spite of it's
antiquity!

Subject: [Elecraft] Alternatives to PowerPoles?
In a message dated 4/
internal KAT1
and a T1. Having used all of Ten-Tec's old "PM" Power mites series (PM-1,
PM2, PM-3), all the Heathkits (HW-7/8/9) and some homebrewed stuff, the K1
is the BEST QRP CW transceiver I have used so far.I have frequently used
it in the field and it has performed ext
using an automated
computer program to make contest contacts.what's the object of the
exercise? The keyboard won't make a better CW op out of you and the robot
contesting program won't make a good contester out of you. (In reality)

ub-band where digital/RTTY and voice modes are
forbidden and there is nothing but Morse even if only 10-20 khz. of the low
end.

dea FCC wants to end Morse for good. The ARRL seems to be
going along with this trend.

places to go and have a CW QSO anymore. Most of the CW ops nowadays seem to
be contesters so you either join them or stay off the air. There seems to
be no place to go anymore on HF.
I don't think I will be even thinking of buying a K3 or especially an
IC-7700 unless I win the
section below the "fishing rod" tip sections.
(This is the MGJ 33' pole)
The BIG disatvantage of the loaded antenna was a narrow bandwidth,
especially with hi-Q loading coils. Someday maybe I'll try it again
configured as outlined above.

ney to buy a bunch of them and have a "bomb out" on the project.
I say steer clear of the Tyco/Amp product. The Anderson product much more
consistant and of better quality.

very quick to setup and takedown. Doesn't require and
weights or slinghots to get the far end supported over a tree limb.

SOunds like plain old "white noise" to me. I get plagued with the same
stuff during the day sometime. What is the difference in noise level with
the antenna connected and disconnected?
