W0RW Lending Library is Open
w0rw
If your library is closed, you can still order books from the 'W0RW Lending Library'.
i use the 'TinyCat', (That is short for Tiny CATalog).
Go to: https://www.librarycat.org/lib/W0RW
If you have never requested books before then you have to send me an email so I can approve your name and address, (Send email to w0rw1@...).
After you get approved you can double click on a book from the scrolling banner or add a key word in the search block to find one (like Spy or ARRL).
If you want that book, and it shows as 'Available', Click "Check Out" button, then type in the password 'paraset'. Then select your name to check it out.
That's it. I will pack it up and mail it to you.
Some
Rules:
It is all free but there are rules to keep everything moving. Only 2 books at a time maybe ordered out at a time. Return books after 1 month. You only pay return postage. Return books via USPS “Media Rate”. If you know the Media Rates, ($2.66 < 1 LB, $3.17 < 2 LBs, $3.68 < 3 LBs, $4.19 < 4 LBs) you can put a few stamps on them and drop them in any box, no need to stand in a antisocial line at the Post Office. I can only ship to USA addresses. Use the 'TinyCat' Web page to request books. i don't need to know when you received the book(s) or when you sent them off.
Procedure: I send the books to you, You read and return the book(s) to me. 905 Zodiac Dr. Colorado Springs, CO 80905

Connectors
Paul AI4EE
I want to connect my eight screw terminal rotator to a male/female connector, so that I don't have to tighten/loosen eight screws when I'm sixty feet off the ground - just snap/unsnap. Does anyone know where I can find such items? Thanks.

Nouveau 75A Deaf
Rick Tilton WK4R <rtilton@...>
I hope this is the place to post this. I have finished my Nouveau 75. Went well except for Q2 which I had an issue with to say the lest. I have the newer board. I put it in backwards looking at the board and NOT the instructions at that point. So they were kind enough to send me another one. Difficulty in removing it but got another installed and I "THINK" it is working.
My NO75A transmits just fine. Have plenty of audio, etc. Output app. 6 wattts with peaks of 10-15 watts. Audio sounds fine from what I can tell. Unfortunately it is deaf as a stump. It will hear a radio nearby barely. But it can't hear thunder. Tuning the VFO and hear absolutely no changes. Yes I have volume and noise. Suggestions of where to start or what I have done? As everyone states I could have swore I put it together right! Hi. I hope this is the appropriate place to ask questions or please guide me. Rick WK4R

Hello Keith and your contributors, Congratulations on a beautiful work of art. There is an incredible amount of information here that should keep the most avid builder, cw op, and qrper occupied for hours. I am really enjoying the fruits of your labor. I keep getting sidetracked in the links but it is sure interesting reading. Thanks again for a job very very well done by you and your contributors. 72/73 Joe Porter W0MQY
Glad you are enjoying it. As I said before a good issue is all about the contributing editors.

Re: May Edition of the Ozark QRP Banner
Ditto Johnny! Thanks Keith! I am thoroughly enjoying this issue with all of the great Morse history and all of the different keys! I'm keeping a copy of this one for future reference and because my memory is so lousy from chemo meds I can wait a few months and it will be like reading it for the first time all over again. Ted McElroy amazes me because at his record speed of 75 wpm and using the P A R I S standard he would have been copying 6.25 characters per second! That's just crazy that he could get his brain to do that! The guy must have been a genius! I'm also amazed with Harry Turner doing 35 wpm with a straight key! I still struggle with 20 wpm copy and still miss a few characters. About to start The Thrill of CW article by Dale, K4EQ now. I love Morse code and history so this edition caters to both for me. Thanks for a most enjoyable and very well done newsletter!

Re: Interested in your experiences and tips using the FT-817 and MiracleWhip antenna

Its great on receive Make a PAC-12 antenna or the G3ycc whip or get a Qrpguys whip for 20m I have made some great QSOs with the MFJ-1820t 4 ft whip but I am sure its the counterpoise doing all the work RM0L has been verified via qsl on 20m I have had 2 of them and they just never worked the way I expected John VE3IPS Forget these on shorty antennas 40m unless your on cw Sent with a Palm Pilot.

Re: Interested in your experiences and tips using the FT-817 and MiracleWhip antenna
Wayne Dillon
Good morning Dr Jim, I tried one with my FT817 many years ago in the UK (I was born and raised in the UK) an was completely disappointed with it. Did a couple of "local" contacts on 20m, added a counterpoise, to the radio ground screw, but not much improvement. My 2c worth for what it's worth, stick with the wire. Be blessed and have a grand day, Wayne - NQ0RP - G0JJQ - G6UIT -- QRP - EFFICIENCY AND SKILL, NOT POWER.
God Bless from Wayne Dillon - NQ0RP Fate whispered to courageous "You cannot withstand the storm" Courageous whispered back "I am the storm"
