Bob- There's clearly leakage current in that area of the circuitry. Dave C's on it, so you're in good hands. 73- Dave

Re: The Lightbulb QSO Party
Frank Perkins
If you go to Lowe's or Home Depot, check out their illuminated bulb display. They have a "vintage" bulb that has a standard size screw-in base, is about 4" tall, and emits an "Amber tint" illumination that looks like a lantern if installed in a "carrage-like" porch light housing. The bulb filament is strung zigzag up and down the length several times in the globe. Long filament. Should be a good antenna. Check it out. 72s Frank N6CES

If one uses a 100w bulb instead of a 6w bulb will the resulting signal be significantly stronger? 😉🙈

When you power up with the jumper installed, the Hilltopper transmits for 5 seconds. During that time, you turn the tuning knob to bring the frequency to 14060 kHz. - Dave, K1SWL On Tue, Jan 29, 2019 at 7:40 PM KM6KJE <terry.schulz@...> wrote: I was wondering what the center pin was to hook up a frequency counter to the section is alignment the CAL placement pin has only two pins thanks

One of my priority items for this week is to compile a troubleshooting guide with expected voltages. You'll see it hopefully by the end of the week. 73 Dave

HI DAVE 7.1 V ACROSS R39 NOTHING TO GR. ----------------------------------------- From: "Dave Benson"To: main@4sqrp.groups.io Cc: Sent: Monday August 12 2019 1:16:47PM Subject: Re: [4SQRP] Nouveau 75 Errata
The voltage across R39 (10K) should be 0V in receive. You also want to verify
the resistance to ground there (w/ power removed) in case there's a short somewhere.

I noted in the manual L-2 shows 17T and L-4 18T. The schematic shows L-2 16T and L-4 16T. Which one is correct? Thanks! Bill -- Bill W0PT

Re: Nouveau 75 Errata
nm0s_qrp <ai9e_qrp@...>
If there is heating in Q11 during receive, that suggests there may be leakage in Q12. Is it getting warm as well? Check the gate voltages of both Q11 and Q12 during receive, and make sure they are not being turned on. 73 Dave NM0S

Low cost Visor Magnifier even lower cost
The former low cost Visor Magnifier that I notified everyone about previously is now available from American Science & Surplus for the low cost of $7.95 each. I bought one for my grandson and then ordered another one for me as a back up to take to buildathons..... nothing lost if lost or given away. See sciplus.com and go to Headband Magnifying Visor. There is also a 15% discount for signing up with them. What a deal! I have no affiliation with this company, just a happy purchaser in the past. Dave K8WPE
