Strong Es opening from DM58 to mid EM6/7/8 now. 1st good winter Es opening heard here this season -W9RM Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P. Olathe, CO

Not a very strong opening down here in DM65. But working a few. Take any opening in late fall. Ed N5JEH Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Was everybody on FT8? If so, were there decode incompatibility problems with people using versions 1.9 and 2.0? WB2FKO

I worked 3 stations on SSB (50.125) and one on CW (50.099). NM5S

From what I could see, almost everyone on FT-8 was running 1.8/1.9. Because I couldn't decode them with 2.0, which I switched to a couple of weeks ago...to keep up with the meteor

I had my band-monitoring SDR up on the 2nd computer screen and was tipped off by the big bunch of beacons. I saw a couple of guys on FT8, all running version 1.9 or earlier, so I don't know who they

I worked 10 stations on 6m SSB from 0055z to 0137z. There was a few more operators heard on 50.125 but I made no effort to work them there. Path rather broad from MS in the south to WI in the north.

The 10 meter band was open till at least 0330Z, with lots of beacons, FT8, and SSB.

Good advice. I will try to pay attention to 6m in the weeks ahead. My neighbor N5JEH worked multiple stations in Australia around this time last year. -FKO

I have 145 DXCC on 6M and still need VK :) I also frequently make the mistake of not actively watching 6 during the winter/spring period when the chance of TEP links is best. It appears MOST of the

I had a least 3 traces that were uncopiable with rec5 Ed n5jeh

I saw the notice a bit late but did get on just before 0200. Heard a couple of regulars from the southeast chatting on .130. Worked one station calling on .125 SSB (EM52)and then tried a CW CQ on

I don't know how good these are or what the ultimate output level is, but this is the frequency you need if you want to stabilize your older DEMI (or whoever) 144 MHz transverter. They are being sold

The following is from N5RZ, who is doing the results write-up for the ARRL September VHF contest. Up until now, there has never really been a official position on how to log QSO's made using any WSJT

I have been interested in similar low-cost TXCOs, but concerned about what's in the package. It would be very interesting to see an output spectrum. Given that you are probably

Anybody have a Standard HT ? I just bought a 8-cell AA battery holder for Standard models C228A, C528A, C628A, HX190, HX240 and possibly others that used Standards RBP-120, CNB-152 or CNB242

Alternatively, use a LPF such as these from QRPLabs to derive the sine from the square wave. I did that for the Si570 synthesizer output to drive an old GE MASTRII transmitter chain to make a 6m

Hi Keith, One thing about ref oscillators: I use 5 volt dc powered oscillators especially portable ops. They need a regulated and filtered supply so one must have adequate headroom for the regulator.

Both VE4ARM/b (EN09) and VE4VHF/b (EN19) S9 into DM58 on sporadic E. -W9RM Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P. Olathe, CO
