CW Practice / Rag Chew

 

开云体育

Michigan QRP Club

On May 09 I had a CW practice / rag chew session on 20 meters. I worked two stations:



Conditions were poor with heavy QSB. SSN = 84, SFI = 149, A = 12, K = 2. I was using my Elecraft K3 at 100 watts with my 100 foot sloped doublet.

My next CW practice session will be May 11 at 09:00 EDT / 13:00 UTC on 17 meters. Anyone and everyone is welcome. This practice is intended for operators who are new to CW or they need some practice. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW POOR YOUR CW IS. Mistakes are OK. Poor fists are OK. Slow speed is OK. Really slow speed is OK. This practice is meant for you to improve your CW. I will do my best to adjust to your skill level. Operate at any power level. If several stations show up, I will operate as a round-table control station. I will do it as a round-table so everyone gets a chance to transmit. Please listen to my directions.

Details:
Date - May 11 2025
Time - 09:00 EDT / 13:00 UTC
Band - 17 meters

How to find me - I will find a clear frequency and call CQ. Go to the Reverse Beacon Network and search for my call sign AB8DF.


That will tell you what frequency I am on. Tune your station to that frequency and if you hear me give me a call. If there is a QSO in progress, please wait for a break in the action. Then send your callsign. If I hear you, I will invite you to join the QSO and start a round-table QSO.

Reply to this email if you have questions.

For a little bit of old-time QRP, you may want to watch the video I did a few?years ago for the Long Island CW Club- Odyssey of the Argonauts-??

I was messing around in the garage last night and found my old SMK-1 transceiver from 2001.? So I bought it in to my office and connected a battery, a speaker, antenna, and a key and was pleasantly surprised that it fired up, and was putting out about 300 milliwatts on 7040+/- !

The SST was going on last night so I answered a call from Illinois and worked AD9CA Mike in Newton IL.? He heard me.? He asked me to repeat my call so I did, and we had an exchange.? I got 449 for 300 milliwatts, and he was a solid 579 here.

So that was about 145 miles from the old attic dipole antenna, and I was very happy.? See for more details.

Then tonight I pulled my old K1 (Ser #1250) and tuned it up on 40m.? My battery must be low because I can only get about 3w out on 7052.5 and the attic dipole.? I heard WA9WFV calling CQ from up in Wisconsin so I answered him and we had a great 20 minute QSO.? He was at a park with his FT 897 and running 20w with a battery powering the station...but NOT POTA.? Mike was just there in a park enjoying the great weather....60 and sunny.? While here is was cloudy and 55 with rain on the way.

I built this K1 in? May 2002 right after I got home from Dayton with it.? It's been a great little radio.? Maybe my almost 50 yr old HW-8 will get tried next.

You all have fun at the Hamvention and FDIM next week!? I hope to get back there in 2026.

Re: Love me some OLD QRP

 

Hi Brian,
?
I’m not trying to brag but I have a K1, K2/100, KX2, and KX3. If the boss said I can have only one, it’s the K1 without a second thought. If I manage to convince her that “2 is 1 and 1 is none” then it’s the K1 and K2.
?
Not that the KX2 & 3 are not amazing technology, they are, but as a 99.9% CW op who wears headphones 100% of the time, the DSP rigs seem to be more fatiguing to listen to over extended periods of time.
?
But this is one guy’s opinion and it’s worth what you paid for it…lol

Tube lovers, (silent key) keep these tubes out of a landfill

 

?A friend of mine, Jack Kinnucan WA8CYJ, passed away two years ago and his wife is now disposing a large cache of vacuum tubes. She says they made a list of all the tubes a few hears ago. My feeling is that she just wants to keep them out of a landfill.

You can contact her at:

The tubes are in Traverse City, Michigan.

CW Practice / Rag Chew

Michigan QRP Club

On May 07 I had a CW practice / rag chew session on 30 meters. I worked four stations:



Conditions were OK with some QSB. SSN = 90, SFI = 154, A = 9, K = 2. I was using my Elecraft K3 at 100 watts with my 100 foot sloped doublet.

Re: QRP Quarterly Mailing

 

My wife has given up on sending birthday, holiday cards, etc. by USPS. She signed up for a card service that allows you to customize digital cards and they get there on the date you want them delivered. I think it was $25 a year. We don’t know anyone who doesn’t have an email address or some type of Internet device that they can view cards and pictures on. DeJoy may be gone from the USPS, but his legacy of destruction will live on. If it wasn’t for ads, supermarket fliers and the like, we wouldn’t get very much mail. And a book of 20 stamps lasts close to a year now.

Louis DeJoy is responsible for degradation of the post office. Under his tenure as postmaster general, he reorganized operations to supposedly make them more efficient. He has conflicts of interest that make it worth his while to destroy or privatize the post office, driving business to companies with which he is associated.

A lot of local mail sorting is now centralized at distant locations, so a letter that is destined across town has to go to a processing center a long way away. I sent a letter to an international destination, it never made it out of the country, returned to me as undeliverable; I had to hand it in again at my local post office for another attempt. Just last week, I had a letter destined across town returned to me marked undeliverable; I telephoned the recipient to check that he was still alive then handed the letter in to the post office desk clerk yet again.

On April 29, I sent a registered letter internationally with return delivery notification. It reached the processing center in Coppell, TX, on April 30 at 1808 hrs where it has remained for the last seven days. For about the same cost, I could have sent it in a FedEx envelope and had it reach its destination by now, if not sooner.

As you may imagine, in future I won't be using USPS for anything important.

Re: QRP Quarterly Mailing

 

That the problem with all gov't run enterprises: There's no incentive to be efficient. Indeed, it's the opposite. When I was in grad school, a friend of mine went to work for a new agency in DC that had about two dozen workers. He wrote to me about 4 months later and told me his boss told all the workers NOT to process anything in their IN boxes. The work piled up for a week when there was a "surprise" visit from the GAO in responses to their manager's request for more personnel. He got the additional workers.

Your status in DC is a function of the number of people under your control, meaning there is no incentive to keep costs down. The agency: The EPA, which now has over 16000 employees.

I’m not sure what’s going on with the USPS… recently a 4# package I mailed via “express” and it took 32 days from Dayton OH area to Linn, MO not too far from Springfield.?

The trip was bizarre:? 18 days from Dayton to Cincinnati (about 50 miles straight down I-75), 10 days to Springfield, MO, then off to Chicago where it sat, next stop Kansas City, onto Columbia where it sat, then Jefferson City, and finally the destination of Linn, MO.? A veritable tour of the mid-west.? I could have walked it to the destination faster!

It’s about the last time I’ll send a package via USPS!

I’ve not received my QQ yet.? So, sit tight.? It may get there… sometime… maybe… eventually.

Yvon is playing with his new ZBitx. So far he is not impressed.

Bill did a POTA this week. The mosquitoes were bad. Used a QMX rig and Ham Sticks which is modified to use a telescopic whip. Ernie suggested trying a performer vertical set up to help get better resonance.

Harry just finished a QMX+ and it is not working. Others have been able to get SSB to work on their QMX+. He likes using his Ham Sticks for his POTA operations. He also uses the magic carpet approach.
