Re: 40 and 80 Meter Net report
Whew -- different story here. I heard a very faint "4" of "4SQRP" (I presume) as Johnny called the net.

I heard "VE4"... then I heard W2SH... and that was about it. Always fun to try! Maybe next week... Jeff N0̸MII

Re: K0B Virtual Brutus Event
Hello Walter Good to hear from you. We’re trying to keep the Brutus Bash alive. Bert reserved K0B and set up a operation schedule. He is hoping for several ops from different call area’s. Take care, 72 Johnny ACØBQ

Re: Ozark Patrol Audio Transformer and Jack
Hi Dale,
I had the same problem you had with your Ozark Patrol. The regeneration on mine was very unstable, and almost as bad as you described with yours. Here is what I did, so far. Besides the substitution of a 2N2222 for Q1 that I mentioned earlier, I added a small resistor in series with the one turn regeneration feedback loop that goes through the center of the torroid coil. The resistor I added was soldered to the lead of that one turn loop, that came OUT of the center of the torroid coil. I experimented with resistor values between 10 and 15 ohms. More than 15 ohms and the regeneration would quit entirely. I'm currently using 10 ohms with marginally acceptable results, but will further experiment with other values in search of better regeneration control stability. I also replaced the antenna gimmick capacitor with a tiny 20 pF variable capacitor. That helped a little bit, too. Keep us informed as to your success. 73s ... Jerry Wysocki, KC9JXE

Well I'm glad Johnny, Bert and Tim are helping keep this neat event on track. Sure won't replace being at Brutus but everyone has a chance get on the air and enjoy some air time fun!

I will share some of the grief on this one as well. I tried to help but am not well versed in groups.io calendar event manipulation. Remember... It's a hobby!! Tim N9PUZ 4SQRP Co-Moderator

I replaced Q1 with a 2n2222A. I messaged Dave Cripes about the regeneration and he suggested I needed to add a resistor on the emitter of Q1 to reduce the gain of the 2n2222A (that has more gain than the original transistor) as the regeneration was full on all the time (hope I said that right). Did that, no joy--no regeneration point. Dave also suggested I rewind L1. I plan to do that. While I am there, I will add the gimmick capacitor back to the circuit. I think I am getting too much signal to the regeneration circuit. At least I am learning more about how this receiver works. Dale
FWIW, mine has a most definite regeneration point. So if yours isn't that isn't normal. Dale Hardin Elberta, AL --

Re: K0B Virtual Brutus Event
Gm Group Sorry about the confusion!! THE KOB EVENT IS NOT CANCELLED! I was Trying to adjust the reminder schedule, and when you delete a old time slot, the system post a cancellation. I repeat, THE K0B EVENT IS NOT CANCELLED sorry for the confusion. Johnny ACØBQ

K0B BRUTUS BASH SPECIAL OPERATING EVENT When: Where: Organizer: Bert N0YJ e1dslr@... Description: I HAVE THE SPECIAL EVENT CALL SIGN K0B RESERVED FOR SEPTEMBER 9,10,11,12, AND 13TH.
I HAVE CREATED A GOOGLE ONLINE SPREAD SHEET AT THIS ADDRESS
https://docs.google.com/ spreadsheets/d/1vJkwuvWcKC_ 99PVaAvbXXBrT0UfsNkJpvtSp5_ 8r6Rk/edit#gid=0 ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vJkwuvWcKC_99PVaAvbXXBrT0UfsNkJpvtSp5_8r6Rk/edit#gid=0 )
SIGN UP TO OPERATE AS K0B BY GOING TO THE LINK ABOVE AND ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO EDIT BY CLICKING ON AN UNUSED ROW, ONCE YOU GET AN EMAIL BACK YOU CAN FILL IN THE ROW ASSOCIATED WITH THE TIME SLOT YOU WISH TO OPERATE, SIGN UP FOR AS MANY TIME SLOTS AS YOU WISH.
MY HOPE IS TO HAVE AN EVENT MUCH LIKE SKCC'S K3Y, HAVING STATIONS IN MANY DIFFERENT CALL AREAS OPERATING IN DIFFERENT MODES TO BRING ATTENTION TO OUR GROUP AND TO CELEBRATE OUR VIRTUAL BRUTUS BASH.
IF YOU OPERATE AS K0B PLEASE KEEP A DETAILED LOG OF YOUR CONTACTS MADE AS K0B SO WE CAN SEND QSL CARDS TO ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS.
WHEN MAKING CONTACTS AS K0B PLEASE USE K0B/(YOUR CALL AREA) DON'T FORGET TO GIVE YOUR CALL AS WELL DURING THE EXCHANGE.
I WILL UPDATE THE QRZ BIOGRAPHY FOR K0B WHEN WE GET CLOSER TO THE EVENT EXPLAINING WHAT WE ARE DOING.
I HOPE TO GET A LOT OF OPERATORS SIGNED UP AND LOOK FORWARD TO A SUCCESSFUL EVENT
THANKS FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS VIRTUAL EVENT
72'S

Re: Ozark Patrol Audio Transformer and Jack
Dale Hardin
Jerry, thanks for the hint. I gave the 2n2222 a try and now get signals. A big step closer to finishing. Now, I am going to rebuild the regeneration coil per Dave Cripe's suggestion. I think that may help some because the regeneration is screwy. I am listening to 80m hams at the moment. No matter where I place the regeneration control, I get no change in volume. It is as if regeneration is not needed. There is no regeneration point on the dial at all. Could it be this quiet? My only other experience is with the Ocean Hopper. You could tell when you reached "the point". Any suggestions anyone? Thanks, Dale KS4NS
