I also have a pair heated gloves, they run off of C cells. When my hands are warm to start, I can tolerate cold fingers pretty well for the duration of a CW activation unless it’s very windy. That

Wow, Tom, your calculations are very telling. Thank you for taking the time to do it. Remember there are two surfaces to be heated. What your calculations indicate is that much too much current

Fred, I have several meters of Nichrome 60 and Nichrome 80; 28 and 18 gauge. Can send up, or bring to you. Did some estimates- looks like you will need 2 watts to warm paddles 25-40F above ambient.

Yea, CW in the winter can be a real problem - unlike phone where dexterity really isn't necessary. For a few years I activated from the Crest on New Year's Eve at the Zulu year crossover. It was a lot

There are heated garments for motorcycling and snow mobiling. Deb has used that a lot on her long distance rides. I currently have a pair of gloves and a vest that I wear on the tractor when snow

I have a resistive surface that has been used for a paddle. But. It isn't a specific resistance. It is open when not being touched. When touched it changes with the amount of pressure. At

Its was cold and windy today up on top. After a short drive up to the Crest (roads clear) I parked in the lower lot and put my parking permit on the dash. Its a short hike of about 200 yards south to

It was good to connect with you yesterday,? Fred. That was my first visit to Monte Largo, and I enjoyed the location and activation. The parking spot listed on sotl.as was perfect. I lost the trail

Went into the Caja on Thursday. Roads were dry and stable. No other vehicles seen. We easily saw George's tire tracks, w-a-y up the hill on SE-050. Debby and I made the short hike up in

Happy New Year one and all. On Saturday January 4, 2025 I plan to activate W5N/SI-001 Sandia Crest.? QRV around 1700 I will depart my QTH around 0800 en-route to parking. From parking its a short

No troubles for this firefox user, I can see all the spots and alerts. I'm using up-to-date version 133. The only thing that comes to mind... sometimes people use firefox because it still supports

That IS strange. I am using Firefox and getting many alerts showing ??!!?? Maybe our residence internet expert, CN, has an idea on that one! - FD Strange...Only 4 alerts shown using Firefox.
