YOU NO LONGER NEED TO MANUALLY SWITCH BETWEEN THE 80 AND 40 METER ANTENNAS.? It is automatic.

Net control needed for upcoming Thursdays

Don Solberg
 

I will be camping this coming Thursday with no remote access to my station so someone will have to cover for me.? I will then be pick for one week, so I can do the 18th.? We are then going camping in Montana and we aren't sure how long we will be gone, probably 2-3 weeks.??

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

73,

I played with it on a dead band this afternoon …. Looks very good … swr reasonable for cw and blocked over 3650, which is a good idea… Which antenna is it????

I am a bit confused that to go to 8o I have to push the button … but it is smart enough to go back to the lp ?if I go to the higher bands … If it is so smart in one direction, why is it not smart in the other??

?

On another point .. I have a bunch of w7dxx mail addresses and do not know which of these go to the entire group and which ones go only to you. What should be used and for what??

?

N4HH, K1ZZI and I expect to do the WPX on the remote as W7DXX this weekend… The contest runs 8pm EST Friday night to 8pm EST Sunday night. We do not want to keep others from using the remote. We expect to be pretty busy until Saturday afternoon and from then on if you do an “ASK” you can have it. I would be great if when you do an “ASK” you would indicate how long you expect to use the remote. That way those of us operating the contest can take a break.

You may have fun making some WPX contacts using your own call. Try it.

Re: Internet Router RFI Issue

 

Keith,

Spectrum is in violation of FCC rules. You only have one choice as I see it.

You can say "over", you can say "out", you just can't say "over and out".

I have a Spectrum internet router that is bringing my noise level up to S5 to S6. The noise level with the router's power unplugged is only S2 to S3. Question, do you think I can filter this out or should I just contact Spectrum and have them take care of it? The noise level is the same using a TS-830S on house power or a IC-703 on battery power using the same antenna. When the antenna is disconnected the noise level goes to S0.

Thanks for any advice on this,
Keith - KA6ASJ

PLEASE NOTE...You will need to manuallly switch antennas between 40 and 80 meters.
You will do this by the ADR2200 relay panel


Re: CQ WPX CW Contest a Great Success!

 

Well done guys...I worked you in the test, great sounding signal, sounded like Morserunner on Steroids, HI.

I arrived in S Korea on 27 May, C-19 test was negative but mandatory 14 day quarantine at govt designated facility. I operated from hotel room at remote site W4RN in VA as one of the KT6V operators. Great prop from east coast..

Look forward to getting to my own hotel after the 11 of June where I can set up my K3/0 mini and operate DXX.

Congrats on FB effort.

I am very proud of the great job Don, John, and Ralph did in the WPX contest.? I'm especially very happy that they used W7DXX REMOTE as their contest vehicle.

The contest was operated by Ralph - K1ZZI,? John - K9DX? and myself - Don - N4HH.

Our thanks to Keith for generously allowing us to use the W7DXX remote - and - many thanks to you, the membership, for standing by while we operated this contest - your indulgence is much appreciated.

Ralph and John are CW animals and accounted for the vast majority of our QSO's.? I really am not on the same planet as these guys - if you want to learn something about CW and operating a contest, they are your go-to experts.? They did a great job - represented the W7DXX remote extremely well and made you proud :)

We made over 1700 qso's and everything worked well - this contest really tested the reliability of the remote and it passed with flying colors.? Here's a breakdown:
