Agreed Doug, I just watched this yesterday and was so blessed by the interview.  Listening to Wayne led me to realize we have the Steve Jobs of radio!  Took his idea of a random wire and had a blast working as A in ARRL  Sweepstakes.  This interview is a must see. Great hosts too for not

[Elecraft] Announcing the Elecraft AX2 miniature 20 meter whip antenna

2021-11-22 Thread Wayne Burdick
Our AX1 dual band whip has become a favorite of HF portable operators who travel light—especially those engaging in /PM (pedestrian mobile) operation. Now we’ve created an even more compact whip: the single-band (20 m) AX2. It uses the same telescoping whip as the AX1 (6” collapsed). And like

Yes you can program the K-POD to play the DVR. Mine is programmed to do this however I don't have the program in front of me. I never use the K-Pod for messages as I find it easier to use my computer's F keys to play messages. John KK9A (W4AAA in last weekend's sweepstakes contest) Neil N4FN

There is no simple answer to your question. Most DX stations will be below 7.200MHz however many Caribbean stations will be higher in the band. Also some DX stations operate split and listen above 7.200MHz. So it's best to find a way to cover the whole band. John KK9A Richard W4KBX: Is there

I have had two cable failures, both happening inside the side with the microphone. While it's not initially obvious, you can pull the earpad back far enough to get at the three small screws that hold the back part of the headphone on. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network web

Yes, I kind of think you are right, Jim.  I did not know about the requirement to set Lin In with Lin In selected, and Mic Gain with Mic selected.  I had been doing adjustments in Mic+Lin with the front panel Mic Gain only, assuming that in Mic +Lin it controlled both.  Whew - good to know

Richard, During DX SSB contests, DX tends to transmit below 7125 kHz (where US cannot transmit SSB) and listen above, sometimes above 7200 kHz, so I tend to tune a 40 meter antenna to the center of the band 7150 kHz, and use the internal tuner in the radio to 'touch up' the SWR near the
