Thanks Rick and Bill.............
Seems as if the guys operating from 28000 to 28025 in the WPX contest today and tomorrow use a lot of these codes and their code rate is faster than I'm used to too.........but I got by by listening to their calls a number of times....they were all european calls since this is a WPX exchange from there with either Canadians or US op this side of the big pond. I noticed that a great many of them were using a KW or at least 5TT. Ha, little ole me.....I was running my FT450D at an outragious 50 Watts! Most of them heard me but I sometimes had to wait in the pileup until the CA kilowatt guys got their share, hi. Long live moderate power!!! I head JTT, aNN, N, 1TT, 3TT and other abbrevs.....seems like a great veriety, also heard KW......with obvious meaning. Nearly all of them were using these abbreviations, so I guess it's eat like the Romans when in Rome! I decided to work 26 contacts, labeling in the margin A.....to Z for the number of contacts made, then when reaching Z I quit - had other stuff to do at home. My join WPX again in the morning. Plenty of signals from 8 AM through 10 AM today .........was really fun. 72, unc Phil, W0XI

Re: What are the letter codes for numbers for CW?
Having been a "morse intercept operator" many years ago, I had to learn the "cut" numbers. The standard ones are:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
1-A 2-U 3-W 4-V 5-E 6-B 7-Z 8-D 9-N 0-T The ones generally in use by today's hams are A, E, N and T for 1, 5, 9 and 0 respectively. Jim, W0EB Sent from my iPad

If in doubt just spell it out.Rick, Make that four cents. There once was the long dash (not a 'T') as a substitute for zero but if you don't use a straight key or a bug you're out of luck sending one of those. Most of the time when we try to make shortcuts and abbreviations we end up with meaningless alphabet soup, babbling, and straight gibberish. 'N' and '9' are completely different things and that's why they are spelled differently. I do know from overexposure what the 5NN is but if that 'N' get used in another context...well I just shrug, take a sip of coffee, and move on. That's a lot for an additional two cents. 73, Bill KU8H

Also, a lot of 100 watt stations will become 99 watt stations and send power as "NN" to shorten the exchange.

Maybe he was sloppy and missed a "dah" at the end. didadadah instead of didadadadah. That would make it 1TT or 100. One hundred Watts seems like a pretty standard value and is what I'd assume. Just an idea, from a person who sometimes produces sloppy code. 72, John AA0VE

What are the letter codes for numbers for CW?
Phil Anderson
Hi OMs,
Many CW stations abbreviate their power with a number or letter followed by a T and a second T, wherein T=10. So if a station says his power is 3TT, he means 3*10*10 or 300 watts. However, I've heard that some ops use a letter code for that first number, but I can't find a definition on the web? Anybody know? For example, in the ARRL contest going on this morning, I heard OL1C on ten meters give his report at 5NN JTT,..........so what's the J? Dah? Unc Phil, W0XI

Re: grommet strips
Mike Czuhajewski
Somewhere I saw an article on how to make a air wound coil by using these strips on a piece of PVC......This has been covered a few times over the years in the QRP press and elsewhere. One I know about for sure is the Fall (October) 2011 issue of the QRP Quarterly, where it was part of my column. That was based on the web page of Phil Salas, AD5X. You can find his article here: http://www.ad5x.com/images/Articles/CoilRevB.pdf Not sure about either of these, but I think he also wrote about this in QRPp quite some tiame ago, as well as QST. The idea has been around for quite some time. (I think one of the St. Louis QRP folks also wrote about it, maybe Dave Gauding.) As for the grommet strips, here is some info on that from my 2011 column. (This is my commentary)-- "The grommet strips are also known as caterpillar strips, or edge trim. They are available from McMaster Carr (www.mcmaster.com), a well known industrial supply house. They have no minimum order and I've made many small orders from home. Their stock number for this particular nylon edge trim is 85085K8. It's sold in packages of 25 foot long pieces for about $12, enough to make a number of coils. "This particular strip gives a coil of 8 turns per inch due to the spacing between the teeth. McMaster has several different versions available. KC6ZZT asked how to determine how many teeth per inch there are since the product descriptions don't give that; he was wondering if it would be possible to get one that would give him 6 turns per inch instead of 8. "N3OX pointed out that the number of teeth per inch is not part of the specification and really isn't an important parameter, considering the use of this product. It's purpose in life is to fit over the edge of a panel or sheet of metal to provide protection against sharp edges. The important dimensions are the gap between the two rows of teeth (how thick a panel it will fit) and the length of the teeth. "KC6ZZT later called McMaster; someone went into the warehouse and checked, and told him that all of the nylon strips of this type in the catalog are 8 teeth per inch. "They also told him that they get them from Thomas & Betts, their part numbers GSNY-052-9-C, GSNY-085-9-C, GSNY-128-9-C, and GSNY-192-9-C. (You can find them on their web page, www.tnb.com, by entering GSNY into the search block.) Thomas & Betts sells them in packages of 100 (and McMaster by packages of 25)." 73......

grommet strips
bobby rolph
Somewhere I saw an article on how to make a air wound coil by using these strips on a piece of PVC. Then you remove the PVC and you have a nice round coil to use with a vertical whip. Does anyone of this article and where can I order these grommet strips?

I thought I'd post this here first before posting on the other reflectors.
--------------------- Due to an insatiable lust for a new rig, I'm selling my very fine K2/10. Cosmetically it is 9+ on a scale of 10, and it comes with these modules and all the documentation. KAF2 Audio Filter and Real Time Clock. KAT2 Automatic Antenna Tuner K160RX 160 Meter Module with Receive Antenna Switch K102 Auxillary I/O Module for Computer Control Serial Port Cable KSB2 SSB Adapter MH2 Microphone Custom Cover It functions exactly as designed and has been in a non smoking environment since being built by Larry Draughn, AE4LD. Larry is the owner of LnR Precision, Inc. and his building skills are excellent. Don Welhelm, W3FPR aligned the rig, and it plays perfectly. I'm asking $800 shipped and insured in CONUS. DX pse contact me for shipping charges. Thank you for considering. 72 Terry WAØITP
