Re: Miracle Whip

There was a review in the current QST of the Miracle Whip antennafor the 817. Has anyone tried this ? It seems like it would work prettywell. Hi Tom, Do you mean the article in the July issue? (Current issue is now August.) The July article was not a review article, but an article written by the developer of the Miracle Whip antenna. We are awaiting reports by those that have purchased the antenna. Early reports were that shipping was to start by early July, but no one has posted that they have received it yet. Has anyone received it yet? 73 de Barry - W4WB |

ARRL Message Forwarding Status
I spoke again with the ARRL today about the mail forwarding problem
that some of us have experienced. Others have contacted them as well. From what I can tell, it seems that the difficulty has been resolved. Forwarding is now under a minute round trip for me. Hope it remains this way. 73 de Barry - W4WB |

Julio, 3/8-24 is not PL-259. 3/8-24 is the standard thread used for the base of mobile whip antenna mounts. PL-259 is the plug that fits the standard antenna connector SO-239 on the back of radios. Some VHF and UHF antennas actually use the PL-259/SO-239 as a mount.

3 ATX models: BNC, PL-259, 3/8-24
There are at least 3 models of the ATX Walkabout by Waters & Stanton.
1. Straight BNC base* 2. Right angle PL-259 base* 3. Straight 3/8-24 base The coil base section of the ATX on both #1 and #2 models actually have an RCA phono male inside, with adapters from female RCA phono to BNC or right angle PL-259. The straight 3/8-24 is much more durable, and can be used in combination with other types of antenna hardware, such as mast rod extensions, springs, or mobile mounts. The 3/8-24 when combined with the Superantennas FT-817 side mount provides the most stable and strong method for portable or pedestrian mobile use. Bonnie KQ6XA |

I have been using the 1800 mAh AAs from www.greenbatteries.com since father's day. I have charged them in the 817 as well as in the 2 hour charger from greenbatteries. When removing them and reinstalling them, it isn't any more tedious than with AA alkalines. And, they charge so fast in the sparate charger that I almost always use it. I have made DX QSO's with these internal cells with Europe on 20M/SSB using a dipole. As well as numerous CW&PSK QSO's. The voltage is obivously low (9.6V) versus the alkalines (12V) , but the operating time is much-much longer. Also, be advised that you have to charge/discharge these cells at least three to four times before they give their true performance. BCNU DE N2LO~> |

Code Warrior Jr. Paddle in a Soap Box
Chuck Carpenter
For portable operation, my Code Warrior Jr. Paddle fits nicely in a plastic
soap box. These are the plastic two-part containers that can be found at many drug stores and places like Wal-Mart. It protects the paddle quite well and no damage has occured while being carried around in a padded cloth laptop computer case. I nestle it in along with the coax in one of the side pockets. The 817 and PW-1 antenna with all its pieces are in the inside compartments.

cw prob
Bob Conder
Message text written by INTERNET:FT817@...
<-Have an intermittent problem (the worst kind) in which the 817 will stop keying up, or sending cw, even tho all the settings are correct. -Will cycle thru the menu a couple of times, and check the settings. Usually, it recognizes the key, sometimes it doesn't. -Has anyone had this problem? And what might a fix be? -TNX & 73, Bob K4RLC Bob Conder, PsyD, ABPP - CN & RP CNS 3701 National Drive, # 222 Raleigh, NC 27612 (V) 919-783-8411; (Fax) 919-571-8041 www.qrz.com/k4rlc |

Re: ARRL Email Forwarding Service
--- In FT817@y..., "Stephen Souza" <ssouza@u...> wrote:
That sounds like a DNS issue, e-mail has no guarantee of delivery.Delays happen due to down servers and poor connection between relay sites. Or because someone is sending a very large message and choking the relay severs. I have seen people send 50 megabyte attachments only to be refused at the receiving end. This causes the message to be relayed back to sender. Remember not all sites wide band widths available, some only have T1 (1.5 meg) while others have almost unlimited. Your are correct in some cases. In this case the message was a single word -- Test. There seems to be an issue at the ARRL contractor location since test messages sent to the same final address but by different paths are arriving in a minute or less except via the forwarding service. Of 3 test messages sent over the weekend, only one arrived and it took many hours (and none bounced this time). I note that a number of reply addresses on the FT817 use the ARRL forwarding service and that is why it was raised as a topic. 73 de Barry - W4WB |
