[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
Good Evening, Both bands were noisy, with some QSB. On twenty meters I had to move down, then down again to find an open frequency. SKCC was quite active today. Forty meters was more noisy with weaker signals and rapid, light QSB. Winter has become mild. Today I heard a tree frog and saw some shoots popping out of the ground. I'm waiting for the next storm before spring. The last foot of snow is due about now :) On 14049.5 kHz at 2300z: K0DTJ - Brian - CA W0CZ - Ken - ND WM5F - Dwight - ID WJ7S - John - UT W8OV - Dave - TX On 7047.5 kHz at 0100z: W0CZ - Ken - ND WM5F - Dwight - ID K0DTJ - Brian - CA Until next week 73, Kevin. KD5ONS - I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast. __ 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
[Elecraft] My K3S Has Issues- Ideas?
Hi Guys, I've tried the rest and still love my K3S the best! However, K3S Serial #11797 has developed a serious issue and Elecraft service is back logged 8 weeks so I'd appreciate your thoughts on getting my K3S repaired ISSUE: When the Power Output is increased over 12 watts the receiver sensitivity decreases several S-Units and power output goes to Zero. I realize this sounds like the dreaded KPA3A "dead finals" issue but I'm surprised that the receiver sensitivity drops like it does. So I'm wondering if this could be something besides dead finals? Also, any recommendations for K3S repair service other than Elecraft? I love Elecraft Service but I don't want to wait 8 weeks plus shipping time for repair. Thanks in advance for your recommendations! 73, Dick- K9OM (r...@aol.com) __ 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
[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
Please join us on 3803kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY) plus QRM (see the Netlogger discussion, below), 9PM ET Sunday (0200Z Monday). Note that the net stays on the same local time, when we switch back and forth to/from Daylight time, so the UTC time changes, but not the local time. Now that we have moved into Standard time and have shorter daylight hours, 80M should be stronger now during the winter. Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE. After some discussion, we've decided to try moving from 3806 kHz to 3803 kHz. The past few weeks there has been some sort of noise heard on 3806 kHz by East coast stations, making it difficult to hear net control. The group that meets on 3803 kHz has been wrapping up operations promptly at 9pm ET (so far), so it should be clear for our use then. If you are a US General class licensee, please ensure that your dial is accurately calibrated and that your transmitter/amplifier combination is clean and free of splatter, since we will be operating LSB within 3 kHz of the lower 80M US General class band edge. I'm using Netlogger, so if you go to netlogger.org and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you will be able to see the exact frequency we've settled on for the evening. If we find 3803 kHz busy, we will move UP the band a few kHz, so we can stay in the 80M US General class band. 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
