[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
Good Evening, Conditions were a better on forty meters; twenty meters had more noise with a little QSB. Forty had deeper QSB but less noise. Both of my antennas could have been a problem. They were covered with a few inches of snow while more was falling quickly. I heard thunder a few times. I also heard a few branches fail due to their snow load. On 14050.5 kHz at 2300z: NO8V - John - MI W0CZ - Ken - ND K4TO - Dave - KY WJ7S - John - UT K6XK - Roy - IA K0DTJ - Brian - CA K4JPN - Steve - GA W8OV - Dave - TX WA6MCL - Vic - CA On 7047.5 kHz at 0100z: K0DTJ - Brian - CA K4TO - Dave - KY W0CZ - Ken - ND W7JRD - Jim - ID WM5F - Dwight - ID K6JPV - Dale - CA Until next week 73, Kevin.

[Elecraft] Elecraft 20M SSB Net Results - March 3rd, 2024
We had a brief net today at 1800Z on 14.303.5 MHz. Conditions were noisy and much QRM from the ARRL SSB Contest. We still managed 11 check-ins with help from relay stations. We ended early as a station was running nearby and were are causing him QRM.

[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
Please join us on 3803kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY) plus (not minus) 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
Re: [Elecraft] K2 - Transmit limits
Hello Pierre, There is no procedure. It is programed in the radio's firmware. All Elecraft radio's do this. You can contact support about getting the K2 firmware programmed specifically for the Thailand amateur bands. They probably have dealt with this before. 73, Mark, WB9CIF -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of JCG Sent: Sunday, March 3, 2024 07:35 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K2 - Transmit limits Sir, I plan to order and build a CW K2 to use it in Thailand. That country is very strict about licencing of transceivers and require that they cannot transmit outside of the local Ham Bands limits. Your manual v1 shows on page 95: "Transmit Limits: Some countries require transmit to be disabled outside of specified amateur bands. If you key the transmitter with the VFO set outside fixed limits, you'll see End on the LCD." Where can I find precisely the procedure to execute, I did not find it in the manual. 73 - Pierre - FK8IH __ 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 markmus...@outlook.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
Re: [Elecraft] Happy 15th Birthday to my K2!
Congrats. I built mine in 2004. It is a 10 watt version with 160, ATU, and serial port. It is a good one. I have the KX3 and the K3S. I believe the audio from the K2 is easier on the ears than either of the other two. 73, Dave, K4TO On Sun, Mar 3, 2024 at 1:35 AM eric norris via Elecraft < elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > Completed 15 years ago TODAY!
