Then gripe at the writer who misquoted the guy. It is the press who  
are creating a LOT of misinformation about what is (and has)  
happening down there. This includes information about a Governor that  
doesn't know what she is doing and a mayor who is committing criminal  
acts and pointing fingers at others for his wrongdoings...



OK, maybe we can get back to Elecraft issues?

Re: [Elecraft] News covering Ham operations on Katrina damage...

[Jack Brindle]

Guys, realize that Motorola is taking a lot of heat from this  
article, especially from in-house hams. There are many. Ham radio has  
been important to Motorola for many, many years. There are quite a  
few hams at Motorola - a few years ago the list even included the CEO  
(George Fisher). Motorola has made many excellent technical  
contributions to ham radio and I know that ham radio technology has  
flowed in to Motorola on many occasions. So, they are well aware of  
the importance of hams and the things we are quite capable of doing,  
and how much we have contributed to the success of the company.


I understand that the article's author took the Screeden quote out of  
context, which seems par for the course, especially in the coverage  
of this disaster. Motorola has already issued an apology and correction.


So give Motorola a break. They really are good guys, trying to do the  
right thing.

RE: [Elecraft] KBT-2 out of radio battery charging

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Vic,

Thanks for adding that - in my haste, I forgot to say that indeed for a
Smartcharger, the current must be set with consideration for the battery.
OTOH, I believe the thing that is usually adjusted is the 'bulk current'
which is the high current part of the 3 stage charging cycle.

Reviewing the UC3906 3 stage controller chip, I found that Stage 1 was the
bulk current stage - where the resistance can be changed to limit the
maximum current.  When the terminal voltage reaches 95% (13.7v) of the full
charge voltage, stage 2 is triggered which increases the voltage (to 14.4
volts for a 12 volt SLA), and the charging continues until the current drops
to a small value - then stage 3 begins which limits the voltage to 13.8
volts (trickle charge value).

Don W3FPR

Highlights from a story in today's Wall Street Journal, As Telecom Reels
>From Storm Damage, Ham Radios Hum: 

>>> 
With Hurricane Katrina having knocked out nearly all the high-end emergency
communications gear, 911 centers, cellphone towers and normal fixed phone
lines in its path, ham-radio operators have begun to fill the information
vacuum. . . . 

In an age of high-tech, real-time gadgetry, it's the decidedly unsexy ham
radio -- whose technology has changed little since World War II -- that is
in high demand in ravaged New Orleans and environs. The Red Cross issued a
request for about 500 amateur radio operators -- known as "hams" -- for the
260 shelters it is erecting in the area. The American Radio Relay League, a
national association of ham-radio operators, has been deluged with requests
to find people in the region. The U.S. Coast Guard is looking for hams to
help with its relief efforts. 

Ham radios, battery operated, work well when others don't in part because
they are simple. Each operator acts as his own base station, requiring only
his radio and about 50 feet of fence wire to transmit messages thousands of
miles. Ham radios can send messages on multiple channels and in myriad ways,
including Morse code, microwave frequencies and even email. 

Then there are the ham-radio operators themselves, a band of radio
enthusiasts who spend hours jabbering with each other even during normal
times. They are often the first to get messages in and out of disaster
areas, in part because they are everywhere. (The ARRL estimates there are
250,000 licensed hams in the U.S.) Sometimes they are the only source of
information in the first hours following a disaster. "No matter how good the
homeland-security system is, it will be overwhelmed," says Thomas Leggett, a
retired mill worker manning a ham radio in the operations center here. "You
don't hear about us, but we are there."

Re: [Elecraft] KBT-2 out of radio battery charging

[Don Brown]

Hi

You could use one of my solar controller kits and a 15-18 volt wall wart or 
power supply in place of the solar panel. You would just need a 5-10 ohm 10 
watt resistor in series with the wall wart to limit the current and make the 
supply simulate a constant current source like a solar panel. I still have a 
few of the low current 1.5 amp versions left at $16 or the 16 amp version at 
$30. For this application the low current version would be fine. This 
controller is designed to keep a SLA battery charged and can be left 
connected to the battery indefinitely

Keep in mind that the Smartcharger (and most likely other 3-stage

charger is designed for an automobile battery this will be too much for 
a small gel cell and will destroy it.

RE: [Elecraft] KBT-2 out of radio battery charging

Jack,

I don't know the specs for that Sears charger, but many of those designed
for automotive batteries are nothing more than a cheap power supply.  A gel
cell can be maintained at a 'float voltage' level of about 13.8 volts at its
terminals and will do well - many security systems and small emergency
lighting systems use that method for the backup battery.

Of course, an even better system is to use a 3 stage charge controller
specifically designed for SLA batteries - something like the A & A
Smartcharger would do a fantastic job.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT100 remote and weatherproof?

[Jack Brindle]

Interesting idea, and one that has been offered by many. The problem  
is the weight of the tuner. Weight will be determined by the power  
handling capabilities, and will be greater at higher powers. Unless  
the box is for QRP (and maybe even then), the tuner will have  
significant weight, causing quite a bit of stress on the dipole  
wires. It might work with an inverted Vee, or a center-supported  
dipole, but I don't think I would want one for a regular dipole.


However, combine it with open-wire feed from dipole to tuner with the  
tuner sitting on a support below the dipole (or on the ground), and I  
suspect I see a winner.

[Elecraft] Digital "scratching"

[Ron Willcocks]

Hi,
  I am sure this has been mentioned before, but I have a K2 here that 
makes quite a loud "digital scratching" as the dial is rotated , only on 
the bottom of 40m and with the antenna off. It is bad enough that if I try 
the old trick of using the weak tone generated at 7mhz to check if my 
filters are set so the received tone doesn't alter between filters, it 
actually modulates the tone and makes it useless to use.
In all other respects the set appears to be going fine, but perhaps someone 
can enlighten me as to whether I have a problem.


As another view to your CW debate that is raging at present. Here in NZ we 
have no CW test now either, and it hasn't altered the useage of CW anyway 
at all. In fact some new tickets are requesting help learning it. Whether 
we loose any "clout" in holding onto our frequencies is now a point of 
conjecture. Most of our MF bands probably aren't of much commercial 
interest we can just hope the IARU can hold them out if they do get 
interested. Our main problem down here is fishing boats being equipped with 
Amateur gear, and Indonesean "pirates" using Amateur gear for everything 
from running a taxi company to talking to Aunt Matilda..
It's not about loosing CW privileges.it's all about loosing your Bands 
you should be worrying  about. Use em or loose em doesn't matter what 
mode. if the new chaps are green on the protocol it's up to us to 
straighten them out ( nicely).

Cheers...Ron ZL1TW

I have recently received and assembled my "Reworks Eliminator" modules.  I love 
my K2 and I truly enjoy the ability to tweak modify and if necessary 
troubleshoot perceived or real problems with my K2.  The "Reworks Eliminator" 
arrived with great instructions and quality circuit boards.  Sure I could have 
homebrewed similar modules, but I like the polished look of finished circuit 
boards. I can't pass on enough Kudos and accolades for folks that are willing 
to invest their time and money to produce professional quality products.

Here's what I would like to see.a dipole center insluator that contains 
an automatic antenna tuner that tunes when RF is applied.  Self-powered by 
battery with very low current drawno control cable required.coax

The tuner would then be right at the center of the antennanot a bad 
place to put it either:-)

Now that I am using my K2, I need to know what is the best way to switch 
my
antenna from my Icom 756Pro to my K2? Will an Alpha Delta 2 position 
switch
be sufficient to isolate the font ends of each radio or do I need

Howdy Bob:

Go with the Alpha Delta switches...I have used several of them over the past 
8 years without any problem at all.


I had previously used a couple of MFJ antenna switches and they were built 
like junk and I had problems with them.  I bit the bullet and got the Alpha 
Delta's and love themvery well built and they last.

I think that if it could handle 150 watts it would be a good product for 
Elecraft.

Gert,

How about the Elecraft T1 in a weatherproof box for low-power or
one of the excellent SGC units for higher power?  The SGC's aren't
light weight, but they are solid and reliable.  I see plenty of them
strapped to vehicles over here.

Would a weatherproof autotuner like that not be a worthwhile project for 
the

Elecraft
community?

What I'm specifically (and many others) are looking for is a lighweight
remote autotuner which can
be used on a single loop antenna.

Re: [Elecraft] CW in Emergencies?

[Kevin Rock]

Many evenings, around 10:30 PM PDT, I sit in my bed getting caught up with 
my technical journals with my headphones on listening to folks QSO on 40 
meters.  I have a wire cut for 40 plus a counterpoise but the wires are 
across the bookshelves of my room making them not too effective as 
vertical radiators.  I find listening to CW while reading very relaxing.  
If I am working through a derivation of some long bit of an equation my 
mind may not hear as much of the QSO but when I am done with the math the 
CW comes back to the fore part of my brain while I read on.  Nice way to 
get ready to sleep.  Thus, I think the answer to your surmise is yes, 
there are a lot of folks listening but not sending.  There is a key beside 
the bed but I've yet to use it from that position.  Maybe soon ;)

from fewer hams operating, or simply from fewer hams transmitting. I 
expect that quite a few operators do what I do, listen without

for suspecting this is that I repeatedly notice a remarkable phenomenon. 
The band will seem very quiet, maybe 2-3 QSOs in a 20 kHz segment, but 
then a rare (sometimes even not so rare) DX station appears, and a 
pileup develops literally within seconds, and becomes massive no later 
than the DX's second QSO. This happens too fast to be the effect of a 
spotting net or computerized spotting, I can only conclude that many 
operators are listening, ready to pounce when the moment is right.

There is fewer phone activity too.
I think its propagation related and not popularity.
During the contests the band is filled with CW ops

Probably not worth doing. The KAT100 requires attachment to the K2's 
AuxBus for band and control info. The AuxBus definitely cannot be 
extended very far without adversely affecting K2 operations.


An autotuner built specifically for that operation would provide much 
better results in a remotely mounted system.

[Elecraft] CW in Emergencies etc

[C Dwight Baker]

Gentlemen:

 

I am forced to sound off regarding all emails lamenting the prospect of CW
not being required to pass the General and/or Extra Class exams; use of CW
during emergencies and so.

 

But beating a dead horse isn't going to accomplish much.  So be innovative
and come up with better systems of communications AND please take your
gripes, sayings etc to some other site.  It spoils the content of the
Elecraft list which is good until everyone has to opine about CW etc.  Too
much time is wasted in looking for real Elecraft issues.

[Elecraft] SOC Marathon Sprint Rules

[Bob Patten]

Here are the rules for this weekend's SOC Marathon Sprint.
I will again be active using the club call, W0SOC and hope to work many 
of you.




 SECOND CLASS OPERATOR'S CLUB MARATHON SPRINT
 


SOC Marathon Sprint
Most sprints run four hours, but since we're Second Class Op's, we need 
more time!


Date/Time: September 10, 2005, 1800Z through 2400Z


Exchange:  Member - RST, State/Province/Country, SOC Number
Non-Member - RST, State/Province/Country, Power Out

QSO Points: Member = 5 Points
 Non-Member, Different Continent = 4 Points
 Non-Member, Same Continent = 2 Points

Multiplier:SPC (State/Province/Country) total for all bands.
  The same station may be worked on more than one band 
for QSO  points and SPC credit.


Power Multiplier:  0 - <250 mW = X 15;
   250 mW - <1 Watt = X 10;
1 W - 5 W = X 7;
>5 W = X 1.

Suggested Frequencies:

160 Meters 1810 KHz
80 Meters 3560 KHz
40 Meters 7040 KHz
20 Meter 14060 KHz
15 Meters21060 KHz
10 Meters28060 KHz

Score:
Points (total for all bands) X SPCs (total for all bands) X Power Multiplier

Apply an additional multiplier of 1.5 if using a homebrew paddle (kits such
as the NorCal and AZ ScQRPions paddles qualify).

All entries are Multi-Band to promote maximum participation.

Entry includes a copy of the log and a separate summary sheet.
Indicate total time-on-the-air, and include a legible name, call, SOC Number
(if any) and address.  All entries must be received within 30 days of the
contest date.  The highest output power used will determine the power 
multiplier.
Include a description of homebrew  equipment (including paddle or key), 
commercial

equipment, and antennas used  with each entry.

Results may be posted on QRP-L and on the SOC Website.  The final decision
on all maters concerning the contest rests with the contest manager.
Entries are welcome via E-Mail to N4BP , or by 
snail mail to:

Look at DX Keeper and Ham Radio Deluxe. Both are excellent. DXKeeper is 
more mature as a logging program, and includes a very easy interface to 
Logbook of the World. It is also part of a suite of software that includes 
mapping, address lookup, rig control, etc. Ham Radio Deluxe began as rig 
control, but has expanded to include an excellent PSK31 program, a nice 
mapper, display of DX Clusters, and now logging. Because I was already 
using and happy with DX Keeper, I haven't looked at HRD's logging, but I 
would expect it to be good. 

Both suites are freeware!
