Yes, Terry, you are correct. But it would have been better if just the first sentence had conveyed the message; the second sentence was needlessly severe. 72, Charles, W2SH From: main@4SQRP.groups.io

Walter, I guess I have to clothe myself in a wolf suit to be a proper Valentine lovely! 72, Charles, W2SH From: main@4SQRP.groups.io <main@4SQRP.groups.io> on behalf of Walter - K5EST <walter.k5est@gm

Walter, On 40m at the opening I gave you a 449, but at the end of our exchange at 0129Z you were up to 559. 72, Charles (aka Chas), W2SH From: main@4SQRP.groups.io <main@4SQRP.groups.io> on behalf of

I usually tune up on 80m with the hope of being able to QNI. I have yet to succeed this season despite being always able to hear it quite well. Imagine my surprise at not hearing a peep on Wednesday e

Johnny was a good 569 on 80m. I tried several times to QNI, but no luck. I'll keep trying to make it on 80m. 72, Charles (aka Chas), W2SH From: main@4SQRP.groups.io <main@4SQRP.groups.io> on behalf of

John, Just a small favor. I use the abbreviation "Chas" because it is shorter to send than Charles. But I would prefer it if you would use Charles on any formal documents. Thanks and my pleasure in ha

I tuned up on 80m and heard Johnny at 449. I dropped my call sign a couple of times, but no luck. Frankly this isn't surprising because with some 70 minutes more darkness than Johnny, it probably won'

Thank you, Johnny, for your kind wishes. This was the first time I've heard you during the SSS, and Glenn and I both worked you on 40m. 72, Charles, W2SH

On 80m Johnny, ACØBQ, was 569 and Bert, NØYJ, was 559 in NJ. However the ongoing increasing level of daylight makes it unlikely that I will be heard and able to QNI until probably September. 72, Charl

Glenn, I believe that my problems trying to QNI the 4SQRP net on 80m are not related to antennas. Rather the problem lies in the different amounts of daylight prevailing at net time. In NJ my sunset o

Mindful of Johnny's recent request to avoid zero-beating his freq., I operated split and did my 40m QNI successfully at 120Hz above his sigl. On 80m I tried the same thing on Johnny's sig which was RS

Yup, It was CONELRAD (CONtrol of ELectromagnetic RADiation). Hams were obliged to QRT when the alert signal was broadcast on AM and FM radio. It lasted until 1963 when a different system applied. I mu

Entrants should take note of the extra hour of evening daylight that the switch to daylight saving time will bring, and give greater attention to being active on 20m. 72, Charles (aka Chas), W2SH

Instead of spreading a toroid inductor's winding fully around its circumference, it is better to reduce the winding portion from 360 degrees to 330 degrees. The 30-degree gap thus created is then the

Johnny, I was about the first of your 40m QNIs. You gave me a 569 and I sent you a solid 599, the first time your sig was that strong here. 72, Charles (aka Chas), W2SH

Bert was fully readable in NJ, at 569 on 40m and 559 on 80m. Unfortunately he was unable to copy my repeated QNI attempts on both bands. Charles (aka Chas), W2SH

40m was an easy QNI. WA4GIR at 400 miles away was in my skip zone and inaudible. 80m was a stretch for a 1,150 mile distance, bur Johnny's good ears pulled me out of the noise. 72, Charles (aka Chas)

This was the first time in a long while that I've been able to QNI on both 40m and 80m. Johnny, you've got a great pair of ears! 72, Charles (aka Chas), W2SH

K1WHS has excellent antennas. He was able to work the Fox in Wisconsin, but didn't QSO the Fox in Florda despite hearing him and trying. 72, Charles (aka Chas), W2SH

Although I've attempted to QNI many times over the past several weeks, last night's net was the first time for a while that I succeeded. Johnny's signal would repeatedly fade from 559 to nothing, but
