BITX QSO Night, Sunday, July 2, 7pm Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere
Join us as we make contacts from BITX40 to BITX40 on 7.277 MHz in 40 meters! To participate, call CQ BITX at 7pm sharp, your local time, on Sunday. Call off and on for about 15 minutes. It is helpful if you call CQ BITX with your name and location.? Repeat your call a number of times if conditions are weak. This is a worldwide event at 7pm in each time zone.? You may participate in any time zone, regardless of your location, so you may wish to call in at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm, your local time, to contact hams in adjacent time zones. The backup frequency in case of QSB or other noise is 7210 kHz. Report your QSO's, discuss propagation, noise, signal reports, audio reports, antenna type, etc. in this thread. This is an undirected, scheduled event.? The BITX QSO Night relies on you to call CQ BITX to initiate contacts with other stations, so warm up that final and transmit a few calls at 7pm on Sunday.? Talk to you then! |

I got nothing. I might need to ditch the spiral loop and toss up a dipole. On Sun, Jul 2, 2017 at 7:19 PM David Woodward <kf4wbj2@...> wrote:

Folks I am dragging my feet on some major upgrades, including an isolated audio and PTT interface, the BITX40 digital and software upgrade, and a big magnetic loop made for 40 meters. I am half way through the interface, and was wondering about the line in connection on the BITX side, any tips or links? Do I just tap into the mic input or what?
Finally, this is to say I hope in about two weeks this QSO night is still going when I get the mag loop finished. I hope to hear less noise, and more signal here in my city surroundings. As of now the signals are just barely above the noise floor that I can tell you are there, but I can't make out what you are saying. I will be working in the shop tonight listening for a strong signal. Anyone else using a mag loop for QSO night? And hows it working for ya????? de KG5KYJ. |
