Dear A1CLUB members,

Finally I’ve got my UV-K5(8) last Friday. :)

It was at only JPY2,500, about US$16, with a charger of JA plug type and a 2m/430 helical antenna.

I spent almost this weekend for the new gadget because the HF CONDX was rotten.

Installed the egzumer firmware and CHIRP software.

I cannot believe this 18-1300MHz FM/AM/USB receiver is only at 2.5K yen.

I’ll play this RX with the egzumer firmware for a while and then try other firmwares and later hardware mod.

The firmware installation is very easy as clicking URL on Chrome browser. (no installer, really installing from browser)

I already ordered a SMA-BNC connector and a 10cm->39cm rod antenna.

I know I like those gadgets. hihi

Dear A1CLUB members,

The 23rd A1CLUB QSO PARTY - A1PTY has been started from May 1st and will go on until May 31st.

The A1PTY is to encourage more QSOs on the air and the theme telegraph is a key to make the QSO as the A1PTY QSO.

This time, the theme is "LIKE".

While in your QSO, you send a telegraph that tells what you "LIKE" such as "I LIKE STRAIGHT KEYS".

If you have sent it!, the QSO is counted as the A1PTY completed, even though your opponent OP hasn't sent his/her "LIKE".

And the A1PTY participation prize (PDF) will be awarded if you'll have the A1PTY QSOs on 10 days in May.

So please don't be surprised if some of A1CLUB members suddenly send you some "LIKE". It is a part of A1PTY QSO. hi

And if you'd like to submit the results of your A1PTY QSOs, send me your ADIF file to me.

Let's enjoy the A1PTY!

Thomas-san, IZUMI-chan and her friends,

Thank you very much for joining the Online KONSHIN-KAI on APR 28.

Also many thanks IZUMI-chan for your wonderful presentation about the Chinese CW situation.

I'll be looking forward to seeing both of you at the HAM FAIR 2024 in Japan on AUG 24-25.

A1CLUB will have a booth at HAM FAIR and will have a dinner party on the evening of the 1st day called the REAL KONSHIN-KAI. hi

Anyone who will come to the HAM FAIR, please feel free to contact me. I'll assist you.

// HIRO, JJ1FXF

TNX INFO, Walter-san. It is the INFO I exactly wanted.

BTW, I'm a uBitX user and installing KD8CEC firmware. hihi

He also presents the full HF receiver mod for UV-K5 which seems also very interesting.



// HIRO, JJ1FXF

Does anyone know about the mod of UV-K5(8) or UV-K6 for CW use such as A1A or F2A TX/RX, sidetone, keyer for paddles, decoder and so on?

UV-K5(8) and UV-K6 are the Chinese hand-held V/UHF transceiver at drastically low pricing.

Its software mod has been popular since last year but lately I found a hardware mod replacing some circuits with the additional small PCB.

This weekend RandomGram #13 will be held.

/g/RandomGram

RG#13 is the 2hr sprint unlimited event.

CONDX is awesome now! Come on the air and exchange RandomGram NR.

Thomas-san,

Thanks for applying to the Online KONSHIN-KAI of APR 28, 10:00Z.

As far as I understand about WWR antenna, it is an antenna of capacitive junctions, between split rods, and between RF feeding alligator clip and the bottom of the rod.

So I suppose you can feed RF directly to the rod without conductive aluminum tape, but the rubber grip of rod or thickly painted area are not suitable for capacitive connection via big alligator clip.

"HAM Radio" in Friedrichshafen seems an exhibition in Germany from June 28 to 30 this year.



Sounds interesting!

Please come to the Online KONSHIN-KAI in autumn and speak how the "HAM Radio" would be.

// HIRO, JJ1FXF

Thanks, Yannis-san.

It seems that there are no CW abbreviations for Ef-kha-ri-sto and Ka-li-ni-kta but you use TNX and GN.

So I just added full spellings of KLM and KLS on my sheet.

Now attach the PDF because PDF is smaller than Excel.

// HIRO, JJ1FXF

Good morning Hiro-san

?I write you to complete xl file with Greek meannings

KLM(GM) = Ka-li-me-ra

KLS(GA,GE) = ka-li-spe-ra,

TNX = Ef-kha-ri-sto

GN = Ka-li-ni-kta


Best regards, 73

TNX, Salva-san.

Yes, my Greetings sheet is for CW use, not for regular conversation.

I added Chinese with IZUMI-chan's advice. Also revised Spanish with abbreviations.

For your convenience, I have attached the Excel format so you can mod as you like.

More abbreviations and better expressions on CW are very much appreciated!

Hi Hiro San,

• We say 'Hola' as 'Hello'? in a general maner during all day, but in CW we prefrer send the word 'SALUDOS' abbreviated as (SLDS).
• In the morning (GM) we say 'BUENOS DIAS', abbreviated as (BDS).
• In the afternoon (GA) and evening (GE), we don't diferenciate the time between the noon and the dusk, we say 'BUENAS TARDES', abreviated as (BTS).
• In the night we say 'BUENAS NOCHES', abbreviated as (BNS).
• 'GRACIAS' is abbreviated as (GRS).
• And at the end of QSO 'ADIOS' is abbreviated as (ADS), but we can use too 'HASTA LUEGO' abbreviated (HL) or 'HASTA MA?ANA' abbreviated (HM), even when yhou know you will not contacat more later nor tomorrow.

I hope this hepls you.? Thanks you for your initiative!

73's !

SRI for my late reply.

I revised the CW Greetings List a bit.

Thomas-san, do you often use "GM", "GT", "GA" on CW?

IZUMI-chan, Any Chinese expressions?

Also I wanna add Korean expressions, anyone?

// HIRO, JJ1FXF

Thomas-san,

Glad to know you are coming back here again at HAM FAIR 2024.

Try YouTube with "JJ1XTG Carbon". JJ1XTG, Socho-san is a fan of the carbon rod antenna and presents some videos on the WWR ANT.

A1CLUB has a booth at HAM FAIR 2024 and we'll have a dinner party on Saturday evening called QRM Party.

For the details, I'll announce in June.

I have a #WWR antenna mounted on my roof using an AH-730 tuner. I have run entire contests just using this carbon fiber fishing rod. I was able to make contacts as far as the east coast of the USA and the UK running 100 watts. It is certainly a compromise antenna, but it does work. I mostly use it for 160m and 80m during the weekly AWT contest. I have not taken my #WWR antenna portable, but there are several YouTube videos of people doing just that.
