Re: BITX QSO Night, Sunday, November 5, 7pm Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere
Listened on 7277 tonight but didn't hear anyone...got clobbered by the BC station? on 7275.

Hi Dexter, I have successfully worked ?zl with my bitx40, he was only running 100w and an inverted vee, my report was 55, just running barefoot 7 watts into a butternut hf9v sitting on a pontoon floating in salt water. If you would like to try a sched, zl's usually coming in here around 17:00 to 18:00 Brisbane time (est no daylight savings) Cheers John de VK4JWT Bribie Island

Hi Dex...have a listen around 7.178 MHz for VE6RAC. I worked hime 1,600 miles with 7 watts BITX40 from Ontario. Also hearing New Brunswick Canada on the east coast so my prop is east west right now 0115 zulu. Maybe we can stretch the band and work you "down under dar"!!! Might have to light up a path with 100 watts 1st. Good luck.

Any activity in ZL/VK? Maybe ZLs should be listening around 9:30 on to catch the VKs? My kit has heard CW around 7013 at times, and a VK4 further up (once), among heaps of QRM, but nothing workable or even worthy of a button-push. I don't even know if my calibration's any good or if my Tx works - I seem to be all alone and lonesome here 'down under'.

just worked VE6RAC Mike in Calgary on 7.178 qrp with BITX40 so 40M is open to west from Ontario! Back to 7.277

Re: BITX QSO Night, Sunday, November 5, 7pm Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere
listening 7.277 and 7.285 alternately.?

Re: BITX QSO Night, Sunday, November 5, 7pm Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere
I can go on if you tell me freq. Kd2nou
Anybody on tonight? 7:15pm local? 0015 HRS UTC. If so what frequency?

Re: raduino v1.27 released (improved suppression of spurious burst)
Hi John,
Thanks for notifying. It's only a display issue. The VFO can really tune
beyond 10Mhz, but the display gets messed up because of the extra digit.
I'll try to improve that in the next version.

goes back to 1mhz? I cannot get it to go any higher.Cheers John de

If 12V, maybe go to
3.3 to 4.7K.? Leds are fairly bright at a couple of ma?

Easy, Ben! Consult the circuit diagram. Relay K1 is supplied with +12V. It then feeds either +RX or +TX as the case may be. The underside of the board has the pads to connect to, either to individual LEDs with series resistors to 0V or to a 'bi-color' LED with resistor from its common lead to 0V. Those voltages can be accessed on the top side of the board by locating resistors in the 'bi-amp' section/s and carefully attaching your wires. The traces there follow the circuit diagram. A little mental effort, but well worth it. I'd suggest only a TX LED - if not lit, the rig is is Rx mode. If your kit is non-Raduino, I'd suggest a 'Power on' rather than 'Rx' LED.

Just go to the Rx and
Tx lines that control the direction of the amps.? Put a 1K to
each Led from them.
I think that is what
you asked?

Probably these?
#include "si5351.h"
#include <Rotary.h>
Remember the complaint
the external SI library eats memory?
That's why it is
internal on newer versions.
