On November 26 at the home QTH I had a qso on 10m ssb with HD8CW who was on a dxpedition in the Galapagos Islands that was sponsored by Buddipole. He was using an IC 7300 running 100 watts to a Buddipole Hexbeam and working the world……huge pile-up and all paid for by our friends at Buddipole. Hey guys there are some possibilities here. Think of an all expenses paid dx adventure to some beautiful tropical island in the far Marquesas with minimal equipment to shlep. I’m thinking of our more intrepid colleagues(are you listening Dave C, Paul Z, Hiroki?). Something to ponder perhaps. K6OKDave

This post is from the QRP Labs google group by Carol KP4MD. It’s how to setup a Pandapter and waterfall display for a QMX/QMX+. She also loaded a couple of videos of the waterfall display showing CW and also SSB being received on the QMX. I think I saw recently something on the forum about Hans adding SSB capabilities soon, The future addition of SSB was know when he announced the QMX but said it would come in a future software update. Maybe the future in now! He usually makes big announcements at Hamvention so maybe he is waiting for “Four days in May” for SSB. I hope he releases it sooner.

Some while back, there was a discussion about pipe sizes. For example, does ?” specify the ID or OD? In the 21st century the correct answer is neither. Starting in the early 1700’s steam engines were being developed. They needed pipes for steam and water. Different shops started making pipes and fittings and valves. Then the steam engine people wanted higher pressures which meant thicker walls. If the OD was kept the same, fittings and valves did not need to be re-tooled. So the “next generation” of 1 inch pipe might have an ID smaller than 1 inch. From time to time, improvements in metallurgy and processing allowed thinner walls and cost reduction so the ID might be bigger than 1”. And every shop had it’s own specific sizes. Why would they want to share the business with a competitor? In the 1920’s standards committees published “schedules”. “1/2 inch” refers to a schedule (or table) of dimensions. PVC pipe commonly comes in Schedule 40 and Schedule 80. Both have an OD of 0.840. The ID is 0.602 for Sch 40 and 0.526 for Sch 80. I suspect that, “40” and “80” might be echos of terms originally meant for 40 or 80 psi steam. There are different schedules for copper pipes and stainless steel pipes and ... Anyway if you are thinking about a project, it is best to look up the schedule of dimensions to know what size wooden dowels and U-bolts you will need. And you can blame this situation of a committee.

The WX looks unsuitable for outdoor ops. I do not plan to go to the Baylands at all. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone. Hiroki AH6CY

Yesterday, running QRO at the home QTH on 10m cw, I had a qso with ZD7VJ on St. Helena Island. If you recall your high school history it was Napoleon’s final stop after he met his Waterloo. RIP Monsieur Bonaparte. K6OKDave

Because of the very weak Yen, you can have a glorious trip to Japan cheaply now. Not only can you fly cheaply by ZipAir (a subsidiary of the JAL) as below, you can get a decent hotel room for under $100/night (with breakfast!) in Tokyo and eat each meal under $10. This sort of situation has never happened in my life time and it will unlikely happen again. Just in case you are interested.

I will be at the Baylands for a short while. I may skip lunch. Hiroki AH6CY Ps Does any one have subscription to the Signal, a British QRP magazine?

I will be at the Baylands starting with lunch. Hiroki AH6CY

Joy, have you been able to try thr band pass filter? I am curious. Doug

I will be at the Baylands starting with lunch. Hope to see many of you. The high bands seem to be hot. I am seeing a lot of WSPR activities on the 10m. Thank you Eric and Jeff to acknowledge my signal on the forum. Has anyone else been experiencing an odd behavior of the [email protected] site? It sent out a message saying that I am unsubscribed and a few days later it sent out the message that I am newly subscribed. It looked as though the site has been manipulated from outside.

Anyone planning to meet tomorrow (25th)? Tnx, --David KM6RI

I would like to hear other opinions of Pacificon. Here are my thoughts in no particular order of importance. 1. Crowd was down. If we want to keep having a big convention in the bay area, we must support it by attending and getting others to attend. 2. Talk selection was poor. We need better speakers with a wider variety of subjects. I'm sure there are 4 or 5 members of this group who could give a great talk on building, operating portable, contesting, chasing dx, qrp. We need to step up! 3. Qrp sessions went well, but definitely need to improve. We have plans to do that. 4. Vendors. They definitely need more vendors. No Icom, no Kenwood??? It was good to see Elecraft, Yaesu and Flex. Where was Hexbeam, Buddipole, and Stepper IR? 5. It was great to see friends although I missed Joy and didn't get to meet Connie. I did see Barry, Dave C., Paul, Bob, Rex, Pete, and Hiroki from this list.. So there were 10 that I know of from this list who attended, good job. Ok, your turn

The RF noise level at my QTH has me going berzerko... at times I am seeing S9+15 dB on 20 and 15M, though it sometimes settles down to S6-7 during the wee hours. Nearly S9 at the moment (these readings on my Kenwood TS590SG). The neighbor's new solar/battery setup cannot be helping. My addiction to magloops has me thinking about W6LVP's receive loop. Does anyone have experience with it? See W6LVP.com and https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-product?id=13215. Thanks, and best, --David KM6RI
