Re: Jitsi for W7DXX Enthusiasts

 

On short notice, to my surprise two people did show up. Jim, K6CL and Dale, N3BNA.

The question now is when to try again.

Being retired, and Covid located most of the time at home, my schedule is pretty much open.

Any suggestions?

TODAY I APPLIED TO OPERATE W7DXX AS A 501 C NON PROFIT? ENTITY

Jitsi for W7DXX Enthusiasts

 
Edited

Rather than explain what I am doing, join me at this impromptu, unofficial launch of?.? It is like Zoom, but free and better.

It is for anyone interested in operating the W7DXX remote. Old-timers or newbie, like me, are welcomed.

I will be hanging out there today, January 5, from 1800 - 1900 UTC.

This "proof of concept" project is not endorsed by Keith. At least, not yet.

Re: Free Access

 

You need to contact these magazines. They are always looking for new articles?and remote?hams get very little play in mags. You got a good write-up a while?ago in?QST by ARRL and QC. That's where I discovered W7DXX.
You have a K3 TX, KPA 1500 amp, and tower that starts at 4500'. That's impressive.?

Re: Log Periodic Height?

 

Don¡¯t know - I¡¯m my many years of being an administrator of the remote I¡¯ve never seen that message. The latest lightning strike may be responsible.?

Yes, obviously, I wanted to know how high the log periodic is above ground.

I have no particular need for a long key-down. I was just curious because today, during my first day of operation, amidst the frequent server disconnects I experienced, a message quickly flashed on the screen which was too quick to read, saying something about timeout and a long tx period. I was concerned I was the cause of the problem.

Re: Log Periodic Height?

 

Yes - you are exactly correct - apparently you really want to know how far up the tower above ground the Log is located:? the answer is 63 feet.

No, there is no "key down" timeout set - obviously, this is ham radio equipment and is not rated for Continuous Commercial Service (CCS) and therefore a degree of common sense is required.? For most hams there is not much of a reason to stay "key down" for much more than a few minutes unless you are particularly long winded on SSB or using some high duty cycle mode.

What do you have in mind?
