Thanks Terry, I like that new key. Liked the other key too but the Brass Racer is kind of nice. I didn't hear anything on 40. I was a little late to the show, tho... Time to batten down the hatches, t

I thought some of you might enjoy seeing this screenshot from the water auction site... Yes, I did bid, but at $295 less than the current bidding price! ;-) 73 Dan -- KB9JLO http://www.kb9jlo.me

Sorry bout that -- the group is set to no email attachments. I stuck the screenshot in the KB9JLO folder of the Photos section.

Check it out: http://www.qrz.com/db/W9IMS They have (4) events and you can get special QSL cards. I'll be shooting for them! Dan -- KB9JLO

I got in from mowing the grass (have to do that in between the showers it seems) about 7:47. I heard you and N9R... I tried throwing my call out but I don't think you heard me. The QRN was horrible! 7

Just completed the trifecta of memorial stations for the November's Fury SE station: http://www.novemberfury.com/ Pretty neat. K8B -- SS Carl Bradley K8F -- SS Edmund Fitzgerald K8M -- SS Daniel Morre

Sorry for forwarding a message but I thought some might be interested in seeing some Northern Lights... 73 Dan -- KB9JLO http://www.kb9jlo.me ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, Jun 7,

I am thinking very hard about upgrading my oscilloscope. I have an Iwatsu 60 MHz, 4 channel that I purchased off eBay. It works fine. I got some 'Chinese' probes off eBay as well and they work great.

Thanks for all the information from all of you. I do appreciate it. And I got a lot of positives on the reason to want a DSO. I've pretty much settled on a Hantek DSO5072P DSO. It is a 70MHz bandwidth

I will be operating with our local club CENOIS , K9HGX is our club call. The club is small and we don't have a lot of active members so we have an "abbreviated" field day. We run a couple of rigs on H

I added a pic in the KB9JLO folder under photos. I got the idea from here: http://nt1k.com/blog/2013/power-pole-distribution-block/ but I added a pigtail to plug it into the source. It was HARD lining

I will be away from home for a few days, planning to spend the weekend in Indianapolis and attending the Indy hamfest . There will be no shipments - parts or kits - till early next week. If you email

Dave, great job. I did 1000 mi/watt earlier this year with YU5A, Belgrade, Serbia. It's cool to do 1000 mi/watt on SSB. I need to send in for my certificate! 73 Dan -- KB9JLO PS - Sleeps overrated...

Hey guys had another one this evening and I just had to share. Not to brag because I'm AMAZED. I talked to Geoffrey G8OFQ/DL portable (well sort of). He's running remote from Hamburg, Germany - his ri

QRP 24 hours every day! Hi, hi! Just bagged S54ZZ, Simon, in Slovenia, 4850 miles!

David, Walter, everybody, thanks. I like QRP. I love my 817. And I love making DX QRP SSB. I don't think I'm a real DX'er - I just like it when I hear one and wait around and finally make a QSO. I hav

You got that right. If it's a regular stateside QSO, I sidestep the whole "what rig you got and what power are you running?" I swear 90% of the time your QSO will END right then and there! I guess som

Keith, I too wonder why. If we go back to the fishing analogy, a bunch of fishermen lined up on the bank - nobody would blink an eye if one guy was using light tackle or ultra-light tackle and another

Anyone want to try SSB 7.278 tonight say about 8:15? I don't want to change things - just wanted to see if anyone wanted to try. I've never done an HF SSB net, only FM nets. I'm sure the format is sli

I had 1 contact tonight - John N9RLO in IN. He was running 10 watts to a NVIS dipole and I was running the FT-817 and full steam (5 watts) and the W3EDP EFW. Hey it was a good experiment right? And I
