Re: 4sqrp sprint is tonight 7 to 9 pm, freq?
Dale Putnam
Man am I disappointed... had this on my mind all day... rebuilt my antenna to get a really good test... the sprint would have done that just perfect. then.. wouldn't you know it? My plans got rearranged.. and I had to run an errand ...got there.. that didn't pan out.. so I get to do it again tomorrow.. but in the mean time.. I lost the window of opportunity. So... when is the next one? Inquiring.. (delayed, rearranged, deranged) minds want to know... ONE is just NOT enough!! Have a great day, --... ...-- Dale - WC7S in Wy To: From: aldenmcduffie@...

Re: Lousy Propagation??
dave <ho13dave@...>
Prop seemed to be not too bad here on the Gulf coast. But the noise, OTOH, was bad. Lots of lightning crashes. Storms along the coast and up into the Midwest made it tough to pull out weak signals. Quite a few fills. Still fun, of course. See everyone next month . . .

I have to second that Johnny, I only made 15 contacts but it was fun. One more sprint and I'll have a 2nd W25 depending upon the contacts. Everybody have a good week. 72, Uncle Phil in KS. Gave my new Bengali paddle a trial tonite! Got to admit that I like the little "bugger" that I bought directly from Mr. Bengali himself at the Dayton hamfest just three weeks ago. 72 to all. Uncle Phil, W0XI Hey! Try copying CW with a coherer some time.....I'm dinking with one, hi. Johnny Matlock wrote:

Hi Todd, I'm in northern Michigan and i have been copying European DX and a some from the middle east on 20 meters. I just copied a couple of QSOs on 40 meters from Much closer to home. But the bands are not dead..at least not here. I have been using Spectran and it's DSP boost to help pull signals out of the noise. None of the signals except the local (Great Lakes area) QSO were moving my S meter at all. When I took out the DSP many of the signals were *lost* not not all. I'm not running any fabulous DX station here. 73, Bill KU8H Getting ready for the Stew Perry this weekend.

Ge Todd It is pretty bad here in the Central Midwest, but we just had a pretty successful 4S QRP sprint. 72

Lousy Propagation??
Wow! Is the rest of the country experiencing the same lousy prop. we are out here in Oregon (CN82)? There's virtually nothing on 20M or 40M except S-7 to S-9 QRN. Anyone else, or has something gone wrong with my antenna/feedline/rig? Are the sunspots really down to 27?

Thanks to the 4s sprint participants
WOW, BIG storm with lightning over the QTH shut me down
from the 4s Sprint! Many thanks to the stations that jumped in and made the first 4s 2nd Sunday Sprint a success. The bands could have been a little better, but one thing about QRPers, we communicate! Will get the results posted on the 4S reflector as soon as possible. 72....Walter - K5EST

Re: DSO
Thanks for all the information from all of you. I do appreciate it. And I got a lot of positives on the reason to want a DSO.
I've pretty much settled on a Hantek DSO5072P DSO. It is a 70MHz bandwidth, 1Gs, 2CH. It has a 7" color screen (WVGA 800x480). I've been corresponding with a guy on EEVBlog who has modified the "family" of scopes that the main boards come from to the 200 MHz model. And figured out how to modify the input circuits to allow the best performance up to 200 MHz. Not sure that I'll do that but it is an option if I want it to work for some 2 Meter work... I chose the Hantek primarily for the price but I do like it's UI and the screen layouts. Many have said that the build quality on the Hantek's is chintzy and toy-like but I don't care about that. The same basic board is used in two or three different MFRs DSOs. The main difference is the amount of memory depth it has. Which also doesn't matter that much to me. After all I'm replacing an analog scope. Any memory depth will be better than what I have! Thanks again guys. 73 Dan - KB9JLO

Sprint Tonight 7 to 9 PM
4State QRP 2nd Sunday Sprints
beginning June 9th at 7 to 9 PM (cdst) any mode and band, except WARC & 60 mtrs, no NCS, 5 watts maximum output regardless of mode. The Sprint keeps the keys, mics, and keyboards active and collect the valuable QSO contacts that are needed to achieve the W25 awards. <http://www.4sqrp.com/ActivityRecognition.php>; Suggested calling idea is.....CQ 4S....and obtain the stations 4SQRP number for W25 awards. Please stop by the 7.122 MHz club hang-out frequency to allow the crystal bound stations to have fun, also! Also some folks have not changed their Pig Rig from 7.030.7 MHz. Exchange, club member number or None if non-member There is more at stake than the W25 awards, the most QSO contacts station by October 1st, 2013, wins the club callsign WQ5RP for the October 4x4 Sprint. (in case of a tie of QSOs, then we shall draw a winner). With a massive multiplier attached, this may be the most coveted contact in your logbook for the 4x4 Sprint! Reporting is easy.....send me an email to spike55@outlook.com Put SPRINT in the subject line then in the text body, indicate your number of QSO contacts and what mode. ......I will compile the total of entries and post them on the club yahoo groups reflector! 72/73, see you on the Sprint!....Walter - K5EST
