Re: Anyone heard from Marshal at OHR?

I emailed him recently and got no reply. I hope he's okay.

Before putting everything back in the enclosure I measured voltage at the test loop again, and this time I see a good voltage. I put everything back in the enclosure, and once again, nothing at the test loop. Step 3.1 passes (there's no continuity between chassis and blue wire). Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks. N1ESE

Re: Bilt an SSB-Mite last night
Looks good from here Jerry, I may just do the same as I finally found a 100k pot.

Bilt an SSB-Mite last night
ohwenzelph
Went pretty well, put it in an Altoids tin. Did not used fixed gain because I had a 100k pot with a switch! At first I wired it up backwards so that when it first turned on it was at maximum gain so took it back out and rotated the pot 180 degrees and redid the connections. It’s a bit messy but functional. Cut a trace and mounted C16 sideways on the bottom of the board, so it is not in the circuit unless I add a jumper on the top. Should give me pretty much the full range of available gain. I like it, I think it works well. Tested it with a KD1JV 20m SlopBucket which already has pretty nice audio. Real test will be with my analogue BITX40 which had a lot of high pitched tone in its audio (that came from I don’t know where). Maybe next weekend.

Re: creating a cabrillo log file on my ipad
Thanks Jeff I will try both suggestions.
most appreciated. Planning on working outside as a single operator on Winter Field Day. I have found my club operations too hectic, but love to operate CW. So will give a try. -- *72/73, Doc - K2PHD

Also, if you go to www.b4h.net/cabforms/ that can generate a cabrillo
file for just about any contest. -- 73, Jim KK0U On Thu, 16 Jan 2020 17:28:05 -0600 Jeff Logullo N0̸MII <jeff@logullo.com> wrote: Hi Doc,

Re: creating a cabrillo log file on my ipad
Hi Doc,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
If you compose a note or file using the built-in Notes app, and avoid doing any sort of formatting (i.e. bold), and then save ("Save to Files" via the share icon), that file will be a text file. It actually acquires a .txt filename extension when you save it. Then, you can attach that file to an email, and it will be what you're looking for. Formatting the contents of that file in Cabrillo format... that's on you. But I think you know what you're after in that regard :-) Let me know if you need screen shots to walk you through it.

creating a cabrillo log file on my ipad
I have an ipad and want to create a cabrillo log file. Does anyone know if I can use word and save as a .txt file and then attach to an email or can I simply use my email program and just insert text as if it were a message?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Delta Mike Romeo Net
I added that talk group to my HotSpot list. It didn't work.
Which network are you on? Do you have a BM bridge? On 1/16/2020 09:31, Johnny Matlock

Re: FW: Bayou Jumper Souper Upper Kit Installation Help
Mike Scheidt
Bob,
What a very gracious offer. Thanks.
I’m not in any hurry whatsoever. I’ll get the Bayou Jumper and Souper Upper board and remaining parts shipped to you in the next day or two. With UPS, I can include a prepaid return shipping label that I’ll include inside of the box that I’ll ship the stuff to you.
Thanks again kindly.

Mike, I built and installed one of those for another ham and could do it for you. No cost except for postage each way. And a bit of patience as it might take a couple of weeks. If interested, drop me me a line directly.

Re: Delta Mike Romeo Net
I realize I am out of sync. Such things as four bacterial and a fungal infection slow the style more than it is already. However, the W9HIF Project is only about a month behind. I have the SDR Cube back online, the Phaser will resume construction this weekend as long as the relapse doesn't return and the pI-Star is on for DMR. What group do you use and is it a BrandMeister talk group? Lee, W9HIF, ex. WA9AOE On 1/15/2020 22:26, Robert wrote:
