Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Report
Rats! I worked all day having set up my Buckmaster 7 Band OCF today after having taken two weeks to construct my tennis ball antenna launcher. The Buckmaster how is sub optimal because I had to connect 2 50' coaxes and while the apex of the V is high enough and the ends of both arms were easily elevated more than 10 feet, and the end points with downward slopes of the max 20 degrees, the arms had to be angled 70 degrees horizontally and thus not linear and so probably it is compromised some what, but it really is the best I could do with my lot. Haven't tried an end fed. At least I won't have to put and take down my Buddipole Vertcial, plus I enjoy the multibands 10-80. My SWR was 1.3 at 80 m, which was actually one of the best, and certainly no problem for my KPAX100 ATU. Anyway, I could certainly hear those usurpers who were on 3.784. (Italian?) but the proof is in the ability to TX. My suggestion would be from now on to list a minimum of three frequencies, i.e., two defaults. BTW, my FCC license is up for renewal next month. I looked into it and tried changing my address from Natchez MS to here in the coast of NC. Is the site working? Is there a fee? I couldn't figure it out. Government. Agency. What do you expect? 73's KarlAF5LQ. On Sunday, January 29, 2023 at 10:20:22 PM EST, Dave New, N8SBE wrote: 3784 kHz, 9PM ET Sunday (0200Z Monday).

Your net control was having antenna(?) issues again this evening, and ended up having to run 100W barefoot, which worked out OK since there is very little QRN on 80M in the winter. Sorry if we missed you this evening, with the last minute frequency change and all.

[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
Please join us on 3784 kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY), 9PM ET Sunday (0200Z Monday). 80M has been good at that time of the evening, with strong signals and little QRN from thunderstorms these days. Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE. We had about another 6-8 inches of snow in SE Michigan this week, so I got to really put the new Ego snow blower to the test. The two 7.5Ah 56V batteries lasted through a double-wide 30 ft. driveway and apron, and the front/side and entry sidewalks on my corner lot, including clearing the area in front of our mailbox, etc., so now I know how long this beast will run on a single charge. Hope to see you this evening on the net. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
