Try to use a bulb that will be near 50 ohms resistance under load. Get TypeApp for Android

Please be careful using higher wattage bulbs for dummy loads. I fear someone’s hearing may be damaged if you were to use a 1KW projection lamp with a 1 watt transmitter, not to mention the possible

I guess feeding it with a hundred feet of ladder-line is out of the question...HI

I suspect larger bulb = more filament length and better transmission, just like "the more wire in the air, the better" Jerry, NK2C

Gary, I haven't a final solution to your interesting question. My guess is that efficiency would increase with increased bulb wattage rating due to less energy loss in heating the filament assuming

With these issues being discussed, is it wise not to install these until a decision is made about a fix, or can one proceed? I hate to unsolder, because I am not skilled in doing it. Jim

Fellow QRPers: We had 11 participants in the August Second Sunday Sprint, not a bad showing.  Most notable is the fact that three of the participants were first-timers: Glenn, N4MJ; David, W0DCX;

found q 10 is getting hot along with q 11...……...any ideas ??????? -----------------------------------------From: "Dave Benson" To: main@4sqrp.groups.io Cc: Sent: Monday August 12 2019

HI DAVE FOUND Q 10 RUNNING HOT ALONG WITH Q-11???????????????????????/ BOB -----------------------------------------From: "K4ENC" To:

Bob- There's clearly leakage current in that area of the circuitry. Dave C's on it, so you're in good hands. 73- Dave

If you go to Lowe's or Home Depot, check out their illuminated bulb display. They have a "vintage" bulb that has a standard size screw-in base, is about 4" tall, and emits an "Amber tint" illumination

If one uses a 100w bulb instead of a 6w bulb will the resulting signal be significantly stronger? 😉🙈 Best regards, Gary, K7EK Sent from BlueMail

The August Sprint is this coming Tuesday evening local time (August 13th, 2019), EDT - 8:30-10:30PM, CDT - 7:30-9:30PM, MDT - 6:30-8:30PM, PDT - 5:30-7:30PM), which translates as Wednesday, August

The 2019 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt is THIS Sunday! There's still plenty of time to get a number! All the details can be found on the Official NJQRP Skeeter Hunt Webpage. Some of these e-mail lists get

If you snooze, you lose! DON'T BE LEFT OUT! If you partook - send in your score and comments. Log submissions are due by Midnight of Labor Day, September 3rd. That's THIS Monday night. You don't

Reminder: Wednesday Evening 40 and 80 meter Nets When: Wednesday, 14 August 2019, 8:00pm to 9:00pm, (GMT-05:00) America/Chicago Where:40 and 80 Meters View Event Organizer:

I found the page for diodes, transistors, ic's sorry just did not read enough but still need the missing parts

One of my priority items for this week is to compile a troubleshooting guide with expected voltages. You'll see it hopefully by the end of the week. 73 Dave

Nouveau-75 QRP I am missing two components c4 and rrr and the pages for the rest of the smt install only have resistors and capacitors nothing about transistor SMT's diodes and ic's I would like to
