I have a friend who likes thin-crust pizza. The problem is that she thinks anyone who prefers thick-crust pizza and mentions it to her is picking a fight with her. Something of an overreaction, but that's the way she it. QRP vs. QRO is like thin vs. thick crust pizza. We all have our

Hi guys, I have been having trouble logging into my LOTW account. It started last night, then I got in this morning, now I can't get in again. Have others noticed this? Is there an ARRL bulletin that covers these outages? Thanks. 73 de Brian W3BW *Brian F. Wruble, C.F.A.

[Elecraft] AF1- active audio filter

2015-04-24 Thread Johnny Siu
 Hello Elecrafters, I have just finished the construction of the AF1 for a local radio club. AF1 works very well.  However, when using my K3 to TX, the AF1 picked up the RF energy and I can hear my voice in my earphone.  I must admit that the antenna is near to my shack but no RF feedback

Hey Dale, I’m successfully using FLDigi on a Mac Mini, the SignaLink USB device and the KX3/PX3. Use the RED TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) mini-plug (or any similarly wired cable) and plug one end (the straight plug is my preference) into the SPKR output of the SignaLink device, and the other end

I seem to have missed the original post. My 2-cents: I used a Drake L-4B (2 X 3-500Z) for years. It worked fine, was robust, instant-on and would tune the WARC bands and was a pretty good antenna tuner as well. What it didn't do was cover 160-meters. I don't contest, but am an avid DXer,

It's always fun to play armchair-sysadmin. I can't imagine having publicly accessible resources like LOTW or the main ARRL website on the same network segment as their internal network (and phones). I know nothing of their network topology, or what's at HQ, and what's at a data center (far
