Re: add yourself to the new BITX operators map

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Jerry and all,

I having trouble standing on any base, and I have verbal blocking, and word finding problems at times, so off base works for me fairly often. Antarctica probably not.

I will explain why I think modded or unmodded, should probably be the color difference (and no, I don¡¯t think anyone would want another place to update every time they turn on their radio)¡­
but, back to the why¡­

Lets take me¡­.I am an Extra, I can go anywhere, but I don¡¯t know Didley¡­.as far as anything current in Radios¡­.now I have an Electronics background that goes back to a few months out of high school when I stepped on a fllghtline and learned what a magnetron was. ?

But, I am learning as I go in this stuff, like anyone else who got their first Amateur Lic last October, and their first HF radio when my BitX40 arrived from India a couple of months ago. ?I have a Grand total of two unique QSO¡¯s, but three with W1LY (as does a lot of others). So, I know W1LY is doing something, probably different than me. ?If we mark as Stock, no mods, and what likely Antenna is¡­..Real Novices like me know what you old timers don¡¯t have to even think about.
If it is marked as Modded¡­.well then if I want to find out just what someone has done, I can try a different route to find out. ?Another on/off switch in the data I would like to see, is PA voltage, Me (whatever my HF jump start battery puts out) ?so I would like to know if someone always runs 12volts, or do they ¡®pump it up¡¯¡­

I think we have a unique opportunity to actually compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges, without jumping thru a lot of hoops¡­.

But, then¡­.before diagnosis, I coded on AS/400¡¯s.

Yup, great idea!
Thanks for setting up the map.

If you're in antartica and there's lots of room around your call, then probably ok
to have more than just your call on the map pin. ?But if there's 20 other pins on top of yours,
best to stick with just a call. ?

Fine with me if you put any info whatsoever in the pop up tag.
A first name would be friendly.
Maybe a URL to a website fully describing all the stuff you have done to your rig.
But I'm not going to update the map every time I try a new antenna or PA supply voltage.
Though might give some indication if I ever get one of these: ?Just so you know, my rig has been modded with a ?custom front panel. ?Back panel too.
If for some obscure reason you need to know my license class, you'll have to check in with

I'd prefer an uncluttered basic map.
Maybe there is something meaningful we could do with the colors,
but I can't think of what that would be.
Color preference, perhaps.
I like blue.?

Jerry, KE7ER ? ?Flora OR

1. Call for what unique ID¡¯s others would like to see
?
Stock
Modded (how)
Antenna (details)
Lic Class
Region is already shown on map (after thinking about it)
First Name?
?????
?
2. ?After agreeing to a list, then decide how to implement, within limits of Pins, Title box, Description Box
?
3. After this map fills up¡­..uniformity will make it usable, requiring agreeing on abbreviations, color codes, placement, order, etc¡­..

Again, Great idea Doug
