Johnny, Delta took out my 80 Meter inverted vee and twisted the 40 Meter loaded dipole around a bit on the mast with the tribander. I'm still not really able to climb much yet, so I used a 30 ft Jackt

Bert, Thanks for pulling me out of the noise! Tonight I was running the Sierra at 2 - 2.5 watts. The antenna on 40 M is a rotatable dipole up about 45 feet. Today I got my 80 M inverted vee back up fr

Thanks Johnny! A lot of thunder crashes on 80 tonight and copy was pretty rough. I was running my TAC-1 40 & 80 Meter radios tonight. Used them last week too but when you did not respond back to me on

Charles, I have a couple of OHR Sprints - 30 & 40 M. I have a photocopy of the 30 & 40 Meter manuals that I got from Marshall last year. These have direct conversion receivers and make about 1-2 watts

My first time remembering to listen for the nets :-) Rig was a KX3 @ 5watts to a rotatable dipole on 40M and an inverted vee on 80M. Signals for the 40M net were very weak in Louisiana. At some point,

Would it be practical to mod the Murania to tune between 5 & 6 MHz? 73 - Dave, N4ELM

I posted a couple of presentations I did a while back on homebrewing filters using ELSIE and Altoids tins. These were meant as an overview of the process and results rather than specific recipes of fi

I have an unbuilt QRPometer kit which does not have the digital meter module. Looking through the manual, I didn't see a part number or description of the digital meter. What digital meter module was

I am re-posting the list of parts I used to update the Cricket 80 to the 80A. I had forgotten a part in the original posting but could not edit it in the swap from Yahoo to Groups.io. Here is the upda

Thanks to Dave, NM0S, who pointed me in the right direction on the RX muting circuit. So D1 is correct on the 80A schematic. After fixing that I still had RX muted so I swapped out the 180 pf cap and

After Ozarkcon 2017, I ordered and received a Cricket 80 kit and stuck it on the shelf for "later". The open board design was OK but I thought I might want to build one into a box so I ordered additio

Hi Jim, I'll have my MTR5B with me at Ozarkcon. I got it in February and really have not had a chance to use it much yet. Feel free to look me up and watch me figure out how to use it :-) It does not

OK Thanks! Working on packing up stuff! I always bring too much but its fun playing with all the toys. See you all in a couple of days. 73 - Dave, N4ELM

The other week I signed up for my first Ozarkcon! Got the hotel & banquet but Swap tables were all full up. If anyone is interested in sharing table space, I have a several built & unbuilt QRP kits th
