Tom, of all nights, tonight is the first night I got your call sign, when W1LY and you signed off. Shouted out to you with a 100 watts and a wire, but nothing getting out from here. Craig KM4YEC

Ok Dex...I hear you but you're never too old to try something new, eh? It's now 0313 Z and managed to work VE3RRD AL about 3 miles, VE6RAC about 1,600 miles and W1LY Wily about 787 miles. Heard WI1B

W1LY, Your 600 watts like you are sitting next to me. at 10:07 and earlier about 15 minutes ago. I dialed up 90 watts and you didn¡¯t answer. Craig KM4YEC in east TN

I heard W1LY calling CQ on both BitX40 and IC718, but no one hearing me tonight. I can hear W1LY and hear other side a few times with out getting call sign. Time to raise the antenna. Craig KM4YEC

Re: raduino v1.27 released (improved suppression of spurious burst)
I'd second that for the full Raduino - with A7 (and A6) free/d, it ought to be possible with a bit of assignment juggle ... :) especially not needing/wanting CW or 'touch keyer.' Would that be a

Re: RX and TX LED
I put a resistor and a 12v LED into the TX line to my 30mm x 30mm fan which blows directly on the final heatsink. I wanted to drop the voltage to the LED and now I can see when I am in TX and that the

radiomanjwt: we're 3 hours ahead of you (daylight saving adds 1), so that's 8-9pm here. Let's see, eh? This BITX is my first foray into HF, so even this 67-year-old is a "tenderfoot", and I have

I worked Mike VE6RAC on 7178 too. I called and called on 7277 nothing heard. Nobody heard on the usual frequencies. My dx was Russ KG0BK and Gordy AA5TN both about 3 miles away. Ed W0OIC

Didn't hear much on 7277. Worked Tom VE3THR here in ON, and Ken WI1B in MA. Heard a couple of weak stations, couldn't get calls. But did work VE6RAC in Alberta with my 6W on 7178 which is now my

Re: raduino v1.27 released (improved suppression of spurious burst)
Hi Allard, thanks for the reply. Would it also ne possible to incorporate encoder tuning? It would be much easier to tune ig you could just push a button for hz, khz, mhz, and adjust with

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

Re: BITX QSO Night, Sunday, November 5, 7pm Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere
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

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.
