Actually, the number of members is displayed on the website. Your
'member number' does not necessarily correlate to the number of
members.
We are still 16 members short of a 1000 members. On 5/8/2015 3:30 PM,

Certificate?
Michael McEwen
A prospective member asked me about a member certificate. I don't think we have one, do we? If you all would like, I'll design one for you all to review and comment. I know many amateurs love to display certificates and awards, and it is free public relations for us whenever someone visits the shack or if a picture is published. 72, Doc K5OSA - QTH: EM04sr ARRL 4SQRP #801 - NAQCC #7625 - SKCC #10098 FISTS #17157 - OMISS #9886 LFSARC (Lawton/Fort Sill Amateur Radio Club) Michael T McEwen Lt Col, US Army, Ret Cellular Phone: 580 919-9205 Residence: 580 529-3412

Re: TX project advice
Bill Cromwell
Hi Jon,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Do you have a suitable filter around which to build transmitter? the TX does NOT need a CW bandwidth filter. there are many SSB bandwidth filters ar hamfests and on eBay. Maybe a list member has one you can get. The 3.395 mc filters for Heath and other radios seem common as dirt. Once you have that filter the rest is much easier. You might have good luck with a phasing SSB rig, too. A combination of of fixed frequency (at IF frequency) and less stringent, homebrew ladder filter can give pretty good results (or so others have testified). 73, Bill KU8H

TX project advice
Jon Wanzer <jon@...>
Greetings Everyone, I finally have my 40 meter DC receiver in band and working well and the helically wound vertical is all but done. While I want to tweak the AF amp and do some filtering my biggest concern is actually getting on the air before FD. To this end, I need to build a transmitter. My specifications are... 40 meter, under 5 watts, simple design, commonly/currently available and inexpensive or easily manufactured parts, and now the kicker SSB/CW. A tall order but hey, you guys, and gals, are the ones who would know. I am skilled in assembly but my EE/RF design skills are still in there infancy. Any suggestions in this area would be greatly appreciated.

SSS Net this Sunday
John Lonigro
This is your 2nd reminder. The monthly Second Sunday Sprint is this Sunday, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm CDT. If anyone needs a refresher on the rules, I can send them out Sunday or you can go to 4SQRP.COM and read them there. I sure hope most of the mother's day festivities are over by the time the net starts. If not, there might be more activity than usual toward the end of the 2-hour sprint.
Since Dayton is rapidly approaching, I implore you to get your scores to me as soon after the contest as possible and definitely before you head East (or whichever direction Dayton is from your QTH). 72, John AA0VE

Does a CCW net require you to send left-handed (hi)?

Aw c'mon Terry, It wasn't that bad. With about 70 more minutes of darkness than you, that 559 I gave was pretty honest.

80 was tough tonight. Ol Sol did it to us
again. Making it in (for sure) was KV6Z Bill. Making it in (maybe)
was W0MFQ Tom. I heard others out there (I think) but signals were
so weak tonight it was impossible to pull anyone else out of the
noise.
I'll be in Dayton next Wed nite but plan to be back on the 21rst. Thanks gents. -- 72 WAØITP I love this radio stuff. www.wa0itp.com wa0itp@...

Re: BATT
Michael McEwen
Check out the Casita web site or come and see ours...I compared about a half dozen 15-20 ft. brands. Unless you want to spend big bucks for an Airstream, the Casita 17 is a heck of a TT for two people, one dog, and my QRP gear (and 2/440) in the truck, of course. It has a real suspension, not just a straight axle, and fine brakes...and the inside amenities are excellent. I think we paid about $20K for ours...delivered from the TX factory to our SW OK QTH. My QRP ops from inside are great...plenty of 12V and it has a 110V charger for the big Batt. I operate from the dining table and all gear goes into one of the compartments over it...minimal XYL QRM... 72, Doc K5OSA - QTH: EM04sr ARRL 4SQRP #801 - NAQCC #7625 - SKCC #10098 FISTS #17157 - OMISS #9886 LFSARC (Lawton/Fort Sill Amateur Radio Club) Michael T McEwen Lt Col, US Army, Ret Cellular Phone: 580 919-9205 Residence: 580 529-3412

Re: BATT

I use thise same batteries found at Academy for my RC planes. I find them at our local grocery store for about half the cost one pays at a hobby shop ( very rural area, lots of hunting ranches). I use them for my qrp rigs all of the time. They run $10-$12 at the grovery store. Not too large and very cost effective. If I were hiking its doubtful that zi'd take one of those lead acod batteries though. The LIPo are much lighter. Just sold my motorhome Michael so until I replace it with a small TT we won't meet on the road!
