Today I received a nice surprise on the front porch -- my Ozarkcon prize arrived. I was the lucky winner of a Sotabeams drive-on car stand for masts. As it happens, I've been building up a "park activ

That extra hour of dark before the net must have helped... Bert you were booming right in last night! I sent you an honest 589. I'm an HF net neophyte, so I didn't mean to get tongue-tied... just didn

EuGene, Instead of looking for "Store," think "Shop" instead. There are two links right near the top of the main page which read "Shop Four State QRP Kits" and "Shop Four State QRP Apparel." Bright re

Chas - in case of QRM at 7122, do you plan to slide down from there a bit, or will you QSY to 7060-ish? Spotting yourself on http://qrpspots.com? We can do the same if/when we hear/work you.... Jeff N

Whew -- different story here. I heard a very faint "4" of "4SQRP" (I presume) as Johnny called the net. I heard "VE4"... then I heard W2SH... and that was about it. Always fun to try! Maybe next week.

LOL - my brain was thinking "SLQS" but my fingers typed "4SQRP." No matter -- hope to hear and work other 4SQRP members tomorrow too!

Hi everyone, Tomorrow's the annual NJQRP Skeeter Hunt -- have you applied for your Skeeter number yet? It's not too late! Send your email to request a number RIGHT NOW and you'll get one in time for t

Bert, I heard someone calling you once but that was about it. Noise plus SSB stations nearby made for a rough go. Thanks for calling the net! Jeff N0̸MII

Terry, Did you hear from anyone yet? Jeff N0̸MII

Great find Ron — thanks for sharing! W8JI’s site has a lot of good material. Found this page https://www.w8ji.com/antenna_tuners.htm which has advice on tuning T-match tuners for maximum efficiency. (

Dave, Glad you have solved the mystery of your tuner's behavior! Here's an article that you -- and others -- might enjoy: Getting the Most Out of Your T-Network Antenna Tuner, by Andrew Griffith W4ULD

If the LEDs are lighting at all, then they're not installed backwards I wouldn't think. Have you tried it with a dummy load connected to the antenna output? Might be good to start there, eliminating a

You might try switching between Iambic mode A and mode B and see if it makes a difference for you. You may be used to another keyer's timing...

...and you traditionally do this by pulling a clean thin strip of white paper between the contacts a few times, as you gently press them closed.

Hi Chas! Good to hear from you! Missed you on last month’s Sexond Sunday Sprint. I always could count on hearing you... alas, no Chas. Hope all is well! And i hope to work you next month :-) 72, Jeff

Hi Doc, If you compose a note or file using the built-in Notes app, and avoid doing any sort of formatting (i.e. bold), and then save ("Save to Files" via the share icon), that file will be a text fil

The 4SQRP talk group - 31654 - is on Brandmeister. I'm monitoring now, in case you wish to test. Jeff N0̸MII

That's sage advice. In the future I'll move away from 7.122. Sorry if i was one of the offenders. With the bands so silent, and hearing nothing, it never occurred to me...
