Second Sunday Sprint reminder
John Lonigro
Contrary to rumors (started by me), the Second Sunday Sprint does NOT fall on Tuesday this month. It is TOMORROW night, November 13th, from 7:00pm till 9:00 pm CST. To needlessly complicate things, if you are using UTC, then it is Monday from 0100 to 0300. But it will NEVER be on Tuesday.
Please go to qrpcontest.com for details and to report your score. The more people who try to make contacts, the more likely some will get through, and the more fun we all will have. Note that I am one of the worst offenders. "Do as I say, not as I do!" If I remember, I'll try to send one more reminder tomorrow afternoon, but no promises. 72, John, AA0VE

Re: Resources to design transcievers
Nick-WA5BDU
It’s a hard question to try to answer because there’s no one-stop
resource. EMRFD as mentioned below is a good one. W7ZOI announced on the
EMRFD discussion group recently that ARRL is discontinuing it. However, in
discussions it seems several ham stores still have it in stock. And in further
discussion, it now appears that ARRL is going to bring the book back into
publication. Whether there will be a revision along with that is not yet
known.
As others have said, building some simple stuff is the best way to learn.
You’ll run into questions you didn’t anticipate and start “writing your own
book”.
Web blogs and websites can be good. Especially those where the author
discusses how he did the design and problems he solved, rather than just posting
the schematic and parts list. For example VE7BPO’s blog (now) and website
(earlier).
Also useful to the struggling designer are PC based tools. Especially
a free spice program such as LTspice and various filter design programs.
73-

An outstanding effort
Wayne Dillon
Good morning all, Just wanted to say thanks to Paul - N0NBD - for an outstanding effort on 80m last evening, both CW and PSK31. It was a blast to be able to get on 80m with the new antenna but even better to work the 4SQRP nets because Paul has been putting in the effort, thank you sir, thankyou very much. C U all next week (or on SSS if I can wrangle a pass). Vy 72/3 es God Bless all de Wayne - NQ0RP QRP - EFFICIENCY AND SKILL, NOT POWER.

Paul,

See if you can find a copy of Experimental Methods In RF Design by W7ZOI. It has a lot of design information. It is an ARRL publication, but is currently out of print. The ARRL Handbook also has lot of information. Happy Experimenting. 73, Don W3FPR

Re: Resources to design transcievers [1 Attachment]
Paul Bonham
Gary,
Thank you very much. I am mostly interested in CW using low power(QRP or QRPp). Not too sure I care which band I start out with, as I want to eventually be able to design a multi-band portable unit.
I really like the modular idea and will probably borrow the concept for my future designs. Paul KG5NKW

Re: Tonight's Nets

Terry, Yep I heard you, about 539 to 559, 80 was much better than 40 tonight. I think I got a clean sweep on 80, CW and PSK31! Kinda vindicates my 124'6" wahr. Great to be back on 80. 72/3 es God Bless Terry de Wayne - NQ0RP P.S. Paul is doing a terrific job on 80m NCS, both types of digital!

Re: Tonight's Nets

Hello Bob and welcome to the 4SQRP net on 40m. Yes sir you did make it into the net although conditions were set against us. Also the band went way long so our proximity was also a factor but you are in the log and I look forward to working you again. The more you use CW the better you will get, that's also what we are here for, to help you improve. Vy 72/3 es God Bless de Wayne - NQ0RP

Re: Tonight's Nets

I attempted to join what I thought was the net at 7:30. I had a very short QSO with WQ0RP (I think). My CW is very poor. Can anyone confirm if I made it on the net?
