Bob,

I saw your test post to the Knights mail list, maybe the default for the list
is to *not* see your own posts?

You can set this in the mailing list membership configuration page, just login
with your Email address and password provided.

Brain fart on my previous question...all is well.

I just completed and put my beacon on the air a few moments ago and am showing up on W4HBK's grabber site in Pensacola. Output power is 100 mW to a dipole up 65 feet (21m). Currently running off 4 AAA batteries till I can find a 6v wall wart somewhere in my junque pile tomorrow.

I haven't looked at the RF out yet so this question may be premature but shouldn't the callsign repeat periodically on Pin 2 (Tone out) of the Atmel chip?

Upon applying power, I hear my callsign once, then a steady tone for ~10 secs or so. Then tone - silence - tone - silence at a steady rate, but no more callsign.

Thanks,

John AE5X

Two of 'em actually. Thanks Hans & Stephen.

Hi Charlie

Apologies for the delay, I was away on holiday last week.

I passed my waiting list over to Steve G0XAR and he will be contacting each member individually. I understand from Steve that he's working through the list and expects to be complete by the end of this week.

Guys,

Hans and I are delighted to announce that the new batch of beacon kits are ready.

The pricing is as follows :-

Each kit costs ?10, a spare programmed keyer chip is ?2 if ordered with a kit.

Postage, payment and packing charges PER KIT are :-

Packing in a Jiffy bag from Poundland - ?0.25

First class mail within UK - ?0.66

Airmail within Europe is ?1.31

Airmail Rest of World ?1.82

Paypal 4% of transaction costs.

Secure delivery - please ask

More than 1 kit? - please ask, we will try to keep post/packing charges to a minimum,



How to order:-

1. If you have already given an order to me/Hans you are in the queue, if not please email me at squirrox@... with "Beacon Kit Order" in the subject line. Things I need to know are :-

a) The callsign you want programmed into the keyer chip - please note "/" is not permitted at this time
b) The band(s) you want, we only do 30, 40 and 80 meters
c) How many kits you want.
d) If you need a spare programmed keyer chip
e) The country you want the kit sent to
f) If you need secure delivery

2. I will acknowledge your order and later EMail you when i am ready to ship it to you. I will tell you how much the cost will be. You then pay me by Paypal - sorry but that is the only option for payment we have for now. Put the delivery address in the Paypal instructions.

3. Once Paypal tell me the money is in my account I will ship the kits to you.

4. This seems a bit complicated, but I don't want to take your money then find out we have run out of kits as we did at Dayton and have to get the funds back to you.

5 We are unlikely to run out of kits for a while - I have 130 PCBs in stock and it is easy to get more.

6. The next rally we will be selling at is the GQRP club at Rishworth in October, Pordenone in the spring is a strong possibility..

Er, thats it ...feel free to ask any questions. A new version of the source code for the keyer will be posted on Han's site shortly. It corrects a bug in the "Y" character and allows embedded spaces within callsigns. If there is sufficient interest i will post details of how to program your own keyer on the QRPLabs group.

72/3s from Steve G0XAR, (and Hans G0UPL)

I would just like to say thanks to everyone who came to visit us on the stand. I sold about 25 kits which was very satisfying. When I am back from my holiday next week I shall get to work on the remaining orders.

Regards,

Steve G0XAR

Congrats Dave! Glad you're having fun!

The QRSS grabber compendium is a great place to start, for finding the grabbers. I guess you've seen it already.

Thanks for the suggestions and help guys.? FYI I wrote up a little blog post about my experience here:

Success! I'm QRV now and visible on ON5EX's grabber. It looks like I'm
centered at about 10.140.0010 MHz, slowly drifting down, with a shift
of 4 or 5 Hz. That is about what I estimated at home using a
general-purpose audio spectrometer program on my Mac.

This is cool. Are there any other working grabbers online I can check?
So far ON5EX's is the only one I've found that is actively updating.
