Walter, Thanks for continuing the SSS, I wasted too much time listening to the SST before I went to 7.122 area and then to 20m but I had noticed that some 4S folks were in the SST area by using the CW

I shall enter my build in the contest. The box used is 4x2-1/4x1. I mounted the BNC on the back side to reduce the internal height space and to reduce the height required for the LEDs. The lab is a vi

GM Doc, I was pondering the same thought last week with an eye toward the Technicians, since they make up about 50% of hams in the US. There are many low cost easy to build 40m rigs from 4S, and sever

Not at all surprising, nothing heard on either Band but what else is going on between 9&10 EST on a Wednesday ? My very best wishes for a great family day for you all, John KK4ITX Zephyrhills, FL Visi

Jim, Perhaps attach the board to top cover studs from the inside and 3D print the various power(s) above the LEDs. Of course, the BNC hole has to be relocated also. John KK4ITX Click Here for Zephyrhi

While thinking about how to protect this neat device it appeared to me that packaging of the SMT Dummy Load can be made easier by the changing the mounting of the BNC and perhaps the capacitor also, a

Not a DIT hr in FL on either band. John KK4ITX 🙃Each mistake is a learning opportunity.🙂

Talk about teasing a guy !! Sounds G-R-E-A-T. John KK4ITX Click Here for Zephyrhills Area Amateur Radio Club Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when

It looks like there are many interested in the 4S Test Kit, add me to the list.......... I know you don't keep one but it doesn't hurt to know of the potential interest I wouldn't think ? John KK4ITX

Doc, Unless there was an error on the P/N of the tuner, it is set up for a PL-259 input. You will need to mate the twin lead to something first and it will just screw on. John KK4ITX 🙃Each mistake is

Mike, I use a 20ft Crappie Fish pole (very light) strapped to the front of my car with bungee cords and 22ga stranded wire 35.5 ft long with a 9:1 UnUn, Good for 40-10m. Easily can be fashioned to any

I noted in my comments about the SST and how the OP ignored my request for a “PWR ?” report for my Log…..,.. apparently he was happy with just my Name and State. I think that perhaps we would may have

My experience with EF is that they usually don't care about bends as long as they are not completely vertical. Set up as an "L" would work and also in a Zig Zag arrangement might work: /\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Curt, You undoubtedly know all of this but others may not. I believe that it is just a lack of QRP OPs out there unless there’s an event. Using WSPR at 50 or 100 MW I can cover a good part of the US a

Did my best from the campground in Maine tonight, some static crashes and QSB on 40m especially, 80m was just not there (S8-S9 noise) and that’s not surprising at all. I answered one Net CQ on 40m and

I have the luxury of choosing between POs and work with the cheapest/friendliness. The other thing I found was that if you sign up with USPS you can print the labels with postage at the figures you go

Good going Tom ! Maybe you should do a little write up for the next Banner with details of your antenna, QTH and power along with contacts and mileages. Might give some an incentive to build one up an
