Hi Mike Good luck. Don't forget: the wire thickness is a bit too thick and so winding 35 turns on the inductor that is in series with the crystal is a bit difficult. In my build of the kit, I wound

Hi Mike, Speaking of winding the toroids... I found that the finished toroid matched the holes in the pc board best when I wound the toroids like this: - Hold the toroid so that the two sides (the

Thanks guys for the winding tips. I was experimenting on the VLF band last night so didn't work on the 30m beacon. I will finish it today and use the 'scope to set the power per Hans

Hi All, I am building the 30M QRSS and one of the interim checks is to see if the circuit is oscillating at 10.140 MHz. I am using my FT-450 to check for oscillation, cw mode, and I do not detect

Newt , The oscillator signal may not be strong enough for you to hear it . Take an old test lead ( or just a piece of wire ) with a banana plug and put it in the center of your antenna connector and

I figured it out with some helpful advice from several of my mates. I now understand why no DC is shown on my meter, as it shouldn't be there! AC is what belongs there, and so it is. The crystal is

Well, I had it working for awhile. I listened on my radio at the beacon working 12 words a minute. Then I think I went too far counter clockwise on R8 whilst adjusting the power out. I added the

I finisshed assy of beacon kit today. works fine. I set mine for 10.140040 mhz and 5hz shift at qrss 6 I plan to mount mine at center of dipole with a 5volt regulator in the box. I will send up 12

Newt , not being familiar with building the kit , I wonder if you were using a dummy load or the same load doing all of the tests ? If it is not something in the way the ID is configured , it could

Paul , let me know when you put it on the air and I will have a look . I think stability could be a problem , especially compared to what we are used to working with on QRSS . Also we have some

Hi Newt, You say the carrier is keyed up after your call is sent at 12wpm, but then just hangs. Here are some things to check: 1) If you listen to the carrier on your receiver, do you hear a very

New to the group and didn't get to Dayton. I'm hoping to buy a 30m kit from the next batch. 73 Mike N0QBH

Hi Paul, I'm glad everything is working well! Having things mounted directly at the centre of a dipole is a great way to not lose any milliwatts in your feed or tuning system! (Provided your dipole

Hi Mike Yes, there is a waiting list. I've added you to it! There are about 30 on it so far! Steve & I hope to be able to start shipping them in 1-2 weeks. 73 Hans

Great! I look forward to building it and getting on the air. 73 Mike N0QBH

Is there a site that keeps track of real time 30m QRSS activity or, at least, stations that have been active of late? Steve / VE7SL

Hello all, Beacon running on 10.140050. About 50 mw. I hope I've got the frequency set right. Looking for possible reports. Mike, W9QS Urbana, IL

I've been testing it for a bit, and finally put it online Sunday night. My friend, W8MOJ, got the signal and later I saw it on W1BW's grabber. Woohoo! Tomorrow (Wed) evening I'll put it online again

Hi Steve There is a QRSS Knights clipboard http://www.on5ex.be/clipboard_view_unreg.php which is supposed to be kept up to date, but isn't very. Most activity is announced on the QRSS Knights

Welcome all new members who joined the list! Congratulations to all who have recently announced their kit completion and getting on air! I have a page on my website about the kit
