Dave, Haven't built mine yet but is there any reason why that resistor can't be put under the board? Jack 4 Jack R. Dock .... How about we give GOD a reason to continue blessing America? Senility

Kent, I approved you a few minutes ago. You should be good now. My apologies for the delay. I've been away from all my comm devices for the past 6 hrs and just getting caught up with email. Both Dave

That seems like an easier solution- thanks for sharing! 73- Dave, K1SWL

I remember this when I was assembling the unit. I took a picture with the top off for you. On that side I ended up cutting the spacer to allow for the resistor and you can see the horseshoe shape of

I registered for Ozarkcon and paid for a kit. I could not go this year because I was hospitalized for weeks with a severe lung infection. Could someone send me a kit? -= Sean Edwards =- AD0QG

Thanks, Dave. I have not installed R5 yet, I was just concerned about it. I will try shifting the spacer nearest R5 and seating R5 as close to outline as possible. This how I have the spacers

Kent- It should be possible to shift the spacer (nearest to R5 slightly rearward. I've examined my two Hilltoppers and the resistors are fully down. If you've already installed R5, heating each joint

Hi All, I just joined the Hilltopper subgroup and have not been approved. Anyone working on the hilltopper have a picture of how they dealt with Group4 Assembly in installing the switch with the two

Reminder: Wednesday Evening 40 and 80 meter Nets When: Wednesday, 9 May 2018 8:00pm to 9:00pm (GMT-05:00) America/Chicago Where: 40 and 80 Meters Description: The 40 Meter Net will be at 8:00 pm

Of course! And as for the bands being dead, I did great with the QSO party, but even still 61 QSOs in 3 days is pretty good for abysmal band conditions. Chas.

right after they go to bed...try 40M. sorry that this didn't help at all. LL/K3ESE

were the 2X QRP QSOs the most fun...? LL/K3ESE

20M has been best for QRP operation from my QTH. Have also found that posting on QRPspots.com and/or https://sked.skccgroup.com/ will help draw contacts I will listen for around that time on 20M. 72,

I would start with 20 meters at that time of the day. But you have to be patient. You’re not going to spin the dial and find a bunch of QSO. If nothing at all is heard, move to 30, then 40

I would think 40 would be your best, but you have to catch the sun spots. On MARS we found that 60 meters is the most reliable at lest for the short haul. Mark/AAV5QK/WQ8S

Hello Doc, I have been watching bandconditions.com closly for a while. I have found 30 meters is most likely to scare up a SKCC contact in the afternoons and by suppertime 40 seems to be waking up...
