Re: [Elecraft] April 1st belated
Actually Dick has not completed his QSO with me since he has not confirmed my signal report: RST = 0.0001, 5, 9 His 1kw CW signal with 20-dB gain to my planetary antenna with 35-dB gain on 20m resulted in SNR of -205.4 dB; I'm still integrating it to bring it out of the noise. Path loss of 464.7 dB results from the over the 4.96 E12 km path. Next time fire up your fusion-reaction thermo-nuclear amplifier: KPA-1BVA. What you doubt that I am on the third planet orbiting Alpha centauri? Well tell that to the USPS as everyone believes Alaska is on another planet (maybe even another solar system)! 73, Ed - KL7UW nano nano earthlings --- From: Phil Hystad phys...@mac.com To: Richard Jubinville silve...@charter.net Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] April 1st belated Message-ID: d102ade6-8277-4b6c-bb4e-01d788817...@mac.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Dick, That must also be a world-record for the longest QSO ever.

Re: [Elecraft] April 1st belated
The soon to be announced K6 (see the April 1st posts) will routinely manage HDCWH mode (Hyper-Drive Cosmic Worm Hole mode), a perfect match for the W1REJ OCF High Voltage power line Dipole. Oh, and it’s in the new 10kHZ super ESSB mode. On Apr 2, 2015, at 10:44 AM, Phil Hystad phys...@mac.com wrote: Dick, That must also be a world-record for the longest QSO ever.
