I was curious what NAQCC used for calculating MPW and contacted their awards manager, John, KK1X. He told me of a web site that they use; it's a simple on-line calculator based on grid subsquares; the

Nick, WA5BDU ! Good advice. Keeping the same offsets will keep any peaking (Group Transients) from combining at the same frequency. Spreads out the effect. Have had trouble visualizing

Glen, I didn't go back to the design equations for the filters in the HI-PER-MITE. I used info from the 4SQRP page as a guide (below) and then LTSpice to verify and OK changes

Hi, I think somebody else already alluded to "tolerances" and then somebody else mentioned that we might not be "exact". Exact comes in grades. I'm sure the people who are responsible for the awards

Julio, I feel that an "official" MPW Calculator would be an excellent resource. Maybe something we could park on the 4SQRP webpage? what say the webmeisters? 72/3 es God Bless de Wayne - KC0PMH --

Julio, This is a really GOOD Discussion. Keep up the Good Work. I agree that """building an "official" calculator specifically for the 1000 miles per watt award based on some of the above

Nice pics Wayne Could you get a shot of the shape of the antenna? Nice looking Balun! Johnny AC0BQ Sent from my iPad

Oh ok then, FB on getting that sorted out. Yeah, that's why I quoted "official", I meant it more in the sense of convenience, not as an attempt to make things more strict or difficult. I feel honored

Julio, I wrote a response, which I had hoped would clarify the 'real' problem I experienced. Don't see it in this listing, however. So, the 'real' problem was that a dozen records contained incorrect

This is a good discussion y'all. I've put some thought into the same subject after following in AA4XX's footsteps as the QRP ARCI awards manager. I have no clue what algorithm QRZ uses for distance

There is a simple trigonometric method for computing the great circle distance between any two points on earth. If the earth were a perfect sphere, the accuracy of the method would depend

Ge Charles Yes I agree 40 m signals were much better on the second net. Tnx for your participation 72 Johnny

Glen, I just checked the QSOs in my QRZ log and all the distances agree. I would be interested in knowing what software (or function on the internet) QRZ uses to calculate these distances. I think

Phil: Digipan and Fldigi are two of the psk programs in use today, just google them in and download. that's about all that I can tell you Dick, N0TGR

Probably the two best are DM780 or FLDIGI. I personally use FLDIGI all the time, because of it's cross-platform capability (I can use the same software in both Windows and Linux). Works great

Virgil, It has been perhaps 15 years since I've been on a digital mode other than CW. Perhaps it's time to check back in? In that regard: 1. What is the most popular program people are using that

With an additional hour of darkness, 40m signals in NJ were stronger for the second net than the first. However, strong SSB QRM kept me from repeating my earlier QNI. On 80m nothing was heard

I was messing with the W3EDP antenna last evening and have added some pictures of the set-up to my photo album on the 4SQRP yahoo group page. The BalUn is a home-brew 4:1 on a T-200-2 core, as you can

You think it is bad figuring that out? Try running back and forth, until they do...... Have a great day, --... ...-- Dale - WC7S in Wy To: 4sqrp@... From: glene77is@... Date: Thu, 15

Hello,again, I tossed my call out a couple times hoping for a response on 3564,3565 and 3566...... I will keep riding along awaiting cooler wx of the fall de Paul N0NBD Sent from my iPad
