Back in the late 70's when I was stationed in Augsburg, Germany, I owned a Model 28 ASR, almost like the one in the video, but mine was colored light grey. Mine had the speed change transmission in

Wow! That was a trip. In the dim past... well, maybe not so dim now, I used to run to the teletype machine, to grab the latest weather forecast, to append to the end of the newscast, on the local

Four State is pleased to announce a new run of K8IQY's Magic Box. It provides seamless transceiving using separate transmitters and receivers, is extrememly user friendly, fully automatic, and

Dave, We're hoping it doesn't get that bad, but it's best to be cautious with winter weather. I still haven't made a contact with the 20 meter Tuna Tin 2. Maybe this weekend will be good. I'm

Hi gang: In light of the nasty weather (freezing rain) expected tonight and tomorrow, we will cancel the 4SQRP Saturday luncheon gathering. No point in endangering anyone on slick roads. See you in

I have a MagicBox that I don't use and would like to pass it on to someone who needs one. I built it about a year ago. I can provide pictures etc. off the list. I will ship for $45 or trade for QRP

I've had some questions about email columns so I revived the effort to make 'em look better. You may have noticed that the columns in my net reports were ok, but they were double spaced. The

Thanks Terry, That method of upping or downing the speed in 2 wpm steps sounds easy and quick. Think I'll go for that one if it is still in stock. Will check that out today. unc Phil WA0ITP wrote:

Thanks Tim, Rick, Tom, Chuck, and Wayne.... I'll look up each on the web and choose one. They all sound good. All I want is to be able to adjust CW speed with a knob and run my Bengalli (got at

I agree with Tom on the Jackson Harbor Keyer chips and kits. I've used most of them starting with the PK-3 and now use the PK-4 in twokeyers, home station and protable versions. The NorCal chip is a

I personally like the PK-4 keyer chip from Jackson Harbor Press. It's the keyer chip which has the exact same pinout as the old Norcal keyer chip. http://wb9kzy.com/pk4ssr.htm I have just bought

Chuck, I am rarely QRV during daylight hours and after the sun has been up for close to an hour the three lowest HF bands (ex 60m) where I usually operate with 5W get very noisy and with a shorter

The Picokeyer is great. I have built about 20 of them. Like toadd one to every QRP kit I build. I have a stand alone one just in case Ineed it. Has pot to adjust speed. You can change speed while

Phil, I agree that these modern rigs (aka from the "big 3") are not CW friendly. The only current, full featured rig I have seen that does it right is the Elecraft K3. My favorite keyer is the old
