Re: Topband: 7O6T LOTW
Ken, I did OQSL and a donation but nothing for me yet on any band. I went back to the website of 7O6T but do not see anyway to link my donation to an LOTW confirmation. What is the trick?

Re: Topband: 7O6T LOTW
I'm sure it will take a while for all of the 7O6T logs to be transferred and then a while for the LOTW machines to digest the data and regurgitate the credits. I'm amazed that they are doing this as quickly as they are. This has really been a class act from start to finish. I made a contribution through PayPal as soon as I discovered the web site. I had all of my 7O6T QSOs confirmed on the LOTW site as of this morningbut the only one that I was really concerned about was the one for 160!!! Thanks again, to Jeff, for that amazing gray line QSO! 73, Ken - K4XL On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 12:49 PM, Lennart M lennart.michaels...@telia.comwrote: Frank, Herb et al, Same here but only got 160 SSB confirmed.

Topband: 7O6T LOTW
KV4FZ: I did OQSL and a donation but nothing for me yet on any band. I went back to the website of 7O6T but do not see anyway to link my donation to an LOTW confirmation. What is the trick? Patience. My 80m QSO was on 30 April, 160m on 5 May and 10m on 15 May. Both of the early QSOs are confirmed but the 10m (on the last day) is not. This could mean they are loading the logs in batches by date. 73, Bill W4ZV ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK

SK 6 / 6 / 12 He earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from L.S.U and also studied at MIT and S.M.U. He received several patents on antenna design and was self employed in the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering fields since 1972. He founded Vibrotek Vibration Technologies which partnered with VibroAcoustical Systems and Technologies, Inc in Russia. He also worked for Collins, and Hy-Gain. First time i heard Duncan I was in Optometry School, in Forest Grove, Oregon, on 75m SSB. He was ridiculously loud and working JA's. around 1976, or so. I had no idea we would later meet. I also did not know he was using a pre-cursor to the now popular 4 square. His version was a parasitic array, with 2 driven elements and 2 reflectors; spacing was equal at 0.2 wavelengths, and the array was 4 verticals, in a square. it minimizes the ground losses... he used to say. 4 1/4 wave feedlines, tied in parallel at the center, and relays at the elements to select a loading coil and short a feedline, or select a feedline as a driven element. Later, when i moved to Baton Rouge in 1979, we met. He liked the low bands and liked cw dx contesting, so we hit it off immediately. Duncan had a pre-cursor to the 'Waller Flag' at that time, for 160m. He used a rotary pair of small, resonant shielded loops, and introduced me to what is now called 'cross-fire' phasing. Mounted near ground level, the 2 loops were on a pvc boom, which was rotated with a Ham-M. He said it had a pattern like a 3 element yagi.on 160m !!! Duncan was a master at locating huge rolls of low loss feedline, and sharing... Even though Duncan was a 'quad guy', he encouraged me to explore the then-new W2PV designs. I still contend Lawson's 4 element, 3/4 wave boom designs produce the most db's for the least dollars. Duncan warned me about gamma matching: it is very easy to match the losses, if you're not careful...so I stuck with split driven elements, and hairpin matches; the 4 / 4 stacks on 20 thru 10m were a real treat, back when I had 3 acres out in the country as a bachelor.Duncan was kind enough to loan me his General Radio 1606a rf impedance bridge to help understand the impact of guy wires on rotary, side-mounted yagis. Soon thereafter I was ordering Phillystran...at least for the top half or so of my tower guys.. I know Duncan was instrumental in getting Bob Taylor, WB5LBT (SK), successful results with a moonbounce array of quads on 2 meters. Bob was, i think, a 'rock star' on the moon, from his suburban lot in Baton Rouge. Duncan had magic fingers with long boom 2 meter quadsand we all knew it... I also know Duncan was instrumental in developing some long boom HF quads for Cajun Iron Man, Emeritus W5WMU. Perhaps Dr. Sonnier can elaborate on this.. Later, we both left La. but stayed in touch intermittently. In his later years he became a k-3 guy, ultimately assembling an entire ' K-Line '... When I told him about LoTW, he was overjoyed. the curse of the dx contester has been lifted !!! (paper QSL's) Never mind that I still haven't set mine up yet. He owned a microphone but heavily preferred CW...I'm sure he could send and copy 35 wpm in his sleep... Duncan was a faithful spouse and father to his family. He was generous with his time and resources. We will surely miss him dearly. If I make it, I hope to see him upstairs one day... 73 Dunc W5DC de W5XZ sk pay attention to the losses he always said... ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK

Then I tried to change the time of this QSO and found that my QSO is ok in LOTW, but an 1 hour before. I believe, it may be the problem with timestamps in the log. 73 de DL2KQ ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
