Totally agree with you Wayne. The lounge was a great tool. I appreciate the time you dedicated to talk with us. Thank you for all you have done to enrich this wonderful hobby. Yeah, the virtual conference wasn't perfect, but nothing ever is. I'm okay with how it turned out. I learned a lot and

[Elecraft] The Ham Expo: What it got right

Clearly there were major technical glitches with the Expo. I won't rehash the well-earned gripes. There's a mitigating fact many of you were probably unaware of: The two most critical technical contributors to the effort were laid low by Covid-19 over the week leading up to it. Despite this,

Good Evening,    Signals were fair to good on both bands.  They were quiet as well.  Quiet normally means weak propagation so I received more email than check ins.  Oh well, you never know until you try.  I almost missed both nets because I was busy listening to bird songs.  If I played the

Re: [Elecraft] Copying CW and Pitch

Iworked for years on 405 line TV transmitters. I had a notch of at least 40dB at 10.125khz. I was surprised how quickly it disappeared when 405 line TV closed down, to be replaced by a rolloff at 16kHz. I now roll off much lower, and keep moving my default cw sidetone as it seems to produce a

Yup, I sat close to a Linkurt Microwave transmitter for about 15 years, (the power supply was an early switcher, and hence very loud), then next to three Ampex VR1200's VTRs... All are horrific noisemakers. 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL

Re: [Elecraft] Copying CW and Pitch

As a result of "adventures" in my 20's, the entire audio spectrum is a "notch" with a peak around 590-600 Hz [see K9YC's last sentence].  That's where I put my sidetone/pitch.  Around 1990 or so, I built a little plywood cube with a Mother Bell insert from a standard black telephone in it. I

Yes, despite the loss of an hour of sleep (oh, sure..."Spring ahead," someone said), the Elecraft expo team is ready for drop-ins. Yesterday's small-group discussions were very enjoyable. It did in fact feel like being at Dayton or Pacificon (etc.) at times -- something we all missed last

A bit OT, and this is kinda like using a CW decoder, but the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has an phone app, BirdNet. which listens and will identify birds by their calls.  When started, it displays a waterfall display of sound, you drag brackets to surround the call in time, submit it, and it

Re: [Elecraft] Copying CW and Pitch

FWIW At my age hearing of both ears starts to roll off in the 4khz range. I can remember when the upper limit was 20+khz. I'm a bass player so my hearing is quite acute at low frequencies. However for CW I prefer to copy at about 625hz. This is with filters set in the 50-500hz range. If I try
