Re: Which Bands?...

I have the best luck on 20M also, it's a good
daytime band. My 84 foot wire and tuner load the wire fine on 80
thru 20 so I have several options if needed.
Good luck operating portable, great fun isnt
it.

I am really new to portable ops and I’ve really have only done it in my own yard, Testing antennas to find out which ones work best for me. I have had the most QSO’s so far portable on the 20 meter band.

Hi Ray and the group:

Thanks for the head's up about the club page links. I just uploaded a revised page with several links corrected to new URLs and deleted two dead links. Thanks to Chuck, I deleted the NETXQRP site. I have been leaving the abandoned site links up unless I hear from someone in the group. That is to allow people to possibly locate QRP'ers in the communities involved. I'm also a retired IT guy but I too often neglect my own hobby sites! Yes I agree, David Martin does a magnificent job with the 4SQRP site! 73, Dave W0CH

Club Web Pages
Ray Cadmus
I recently ran across the list of QRP club pages by W0CH.
http://www.w0ch.net/clubs/qrp_clubs.htm Being the curious sort I had to check out each one. Doing so I discovered several interesting things. 1 - a few of the pages no longer exist - not surprising, it's not easy to keep up with broken links when the isp's snag the page request for advertising purposes. 2 - Some of the sites are very interesting - well worth browsing now and probably on a regular basis. 3 - Way too many are not kept up to date, some appear to have been abandoned years ago :-( 4 - Our 4sqrp site is one of the best. I find it interesting, informative, entertaining and always up to date. As a retired IT guy and web developer I really appreciate the effort that goes into a good web site. My thanks and congratulations to our webmaster and his helpers (if any) for a job well done. 72, ray W0PFO

Re: QSL / LOTW / Logging Question
john shadle
I would say that my LoTW rates for *just* July (we've only had 12 days so far) are probably like yours; however, if I look at my overall rates (for all QSOs I've uploaded), I'm at 43.5% (of over 2000 QSOs over the past 12 years). Thinking about sending a card to every one of those people and green stamps (for DX) or SASE (for some USA contacts)--that's a lot of money saved! I have limited time to play (5 year old son, baby on the way in mid-August), so I concentrate on working new band/mode slots towards my DXCC or WAS (I'm at 125 for 150 towards Triple Play) when I find myself in the basement shack. I do have some rag chews, but they are not as common. For fun, I downloaded my QSO data from June and July. I haven't been that active--only 100 QSOs in the past 6 weeks or so. Here's the breakdown of QSLs from LoTW, both USA and DX. - PSK31 100% (1/1) [no USA QSOs] - JT65 59.2% (29/49) - RTTY 50% (2/4) - CW 41.7% (10/24) [no USA QSOs] - SSB 36.4% (8/22) Looking at only DX QSOs, here is my QSL rate (from LoTW). - PSK31 100% (1/1) [no USA QSOs] - JT65 46.2% (6/13) - RTTY 50% (1/2) - CW 41.7% (10/24) [no USA QSOs] - SSB 58.3% (7/12) Looking only at USA QSOs, here is my QSL rate (from LoTW). - PSK31 [no USA QSOs] - JT65 63.9% (23/36) - RTTY 50% (1/2) - CW [no USA QSOs] - SSB 10% (1/10) On average, DX folks QSL at a higher rate (except for JT65). Why is that? I have no idea. Maybe it's all the US hams who have given up on the LoTW system because it's "too hard to set up", or because "it has more levels of verification than my bank", or some other excuse (whenever I look at most negative reviews of LoTW on eHam.net I cringe). Honestly, it's not that hard folks. If you can set up your radio for digital modes or to do CW keying through a serial port, then you can do this! If you have trouble, call the ARRL. I've received support on the phone and over email for LoTW and always found the results to my liking. When I moved from NC to WI nearly two years ago, I called the ARRL and they walked me through setting up a new station. No big deal! Also, for June/July I've already confirmed new band/mode slots for Saint Pierre & Miquelon (FP/KV1J), Sint Maarten (PJ7/AF6WU), Jersey (MJ/PA1AW), Ukraine (UR4CWQ), Turkey (TA3AX), Saudi Arabia (7Z1HL), Saint Lucia (J68HZ), Hugary (HA3PT), Switzerland (HB9FGO), Guadeloupe (FG1PP), Japan (JA2ACI), Cyprus (C4Z), and Saint Barthelemy (FJ/N5WR, FJ/K5WE). Not bad, considering there's no cost for me participating in the program (except ARRL membership) and I didn't have to spend $1.10 plus $2-$3 in return postage for these. It's a WIN, WIN! I wish more folks would use LoTW, but you can't force someone. If you have logging software (I also use N3FJP's AC Log), it's not a difficult system to set up or use. OK. Rant over. ;-) 73 -john W4PAH Madison, WI

Got his previous post here earlier Arnie. Thanks
for being the relay.
Still planning on the trip to the park but
may not last long if the bands are lousy and the temps high. That tree may be
full of wires if that's the only shade there. :):):)
Will be bringing my HB-1B, SOTA tuner and 67 foot
wire with counterpoise. Oh, and I will volunteer to be the designated

Arnie..............don't worry about the coyots; they're great. When I lived on the Rhombic Farm west of Lawrence, we heard them
all the time. The male would bark and then the XYLs would yip. I noticed pairs or groups of domesticated dogs in town sometimes do the same. Dog DNA I guess.

Re: QSL / LOTW / Logging Question
John Taylor <k0qh@...>
That's interesting abt the guy from Sweden. I also had a request from him for my county on 20 meter CW. Worked him and also had a card from him with a dollar in it. I also offered to drive to my adjoining counties for him but have nevere heard anymore from him. I do use LOTW as much as I can. In fact I did WAS all LOTW a couple years ago just to see if I could do it without hurting any trees. HI HI John Taylor,K0QH PB #174 SLQS 4SQRP www.stgdxcc.webs.com

Everything costs more by a factor bigger than my increased income. Not a complaint - just a practical budget fact of life. I have setup the LOTW here but I'm not using much as I mostly have been listening with a little bit of CW rag chewing tossed in. I'm not very interested in the canned QSOs that last two minutes or less. Funny thing about that 'print yer own' approach. I am back building my own new radios and now I print my own cards, too. Recently a fellow in Sweden was working on a clean sweep for a county hunter award and after two or three attempts on ten meters we made it. I was going to just pay for sending him the card but just before I did his self addressed envelope and a dollar for postage arrived with his QSL card. I don't know if he got the remaining two counties he needs. One is within driving range and I offered to drive over there (about 90 minutes away) if he can't find a QSO from there. He hasn't asked so maybe now he has his clean sweep. 73, Bill KU8H ------------------------------------ 4SQRP Website: http://4sqrp.com OzarkCon is coming April 4-5, 2014 in Branson, MO View Details at http://www.ozarkcon.com/index.phpYahoo!
