That's a good sized list.  I have heard a lot of UX5UO, and I'm about to
order new cards.  Does anyone here have good or bad things to say about this

I've heard very good things about working with UX5UO and with the speed and 
quality of his service.  And his prices are WOW!

Have you communicated with him about printing EIDXA cards?  It would be 
great if he could supply or card at those prices.

I've used UX5UO and he is competitive, and does a great job!  I would 
highly recommend him.

I can only speak to the UX5UO operation.  I ordered 1000 cards last year
from him and couldn't be more pleased.  I did my own custom design from
photos I took and my own words and report form.  UX5UO worked with me
through several iterations of the design using emails.  He was VERY prompt
in responding to my emails and always pleasant.  I did full color photos on
both front and back, glossy front and matte back side and I set up the
report form on the back side to occupy exactly the same area on the card as
the labels I use in my Dymo label printer which I use with DX4WIN.  

The ordering process starts once the card design is complete.  You pay by a
Paypal email to a US email address (in my case it was a North Dakota ham
op), no currency conversion and Paypal transaction security. UX5UO confirmed
my order within 24 hours of the Paypal email to ND. The cards arrived within
the specified lead time directly from UX5UO.

Hope this helps,

Mike NA9Q

Jason,  

I should have added that if you want to see one of my cards to judge the
quality for yourself, I would be happy to drop one in the mail to you.  I
would highly recommend UX5UO.

I have had him make two different cards for me.  They are top quality at a bargain price.  But even better is the help he will give you in designing your card if you wish.  If you have an idea he is willing to take what you have and turn it into a ready to go design.  He is fast and responsive over the net and once you decide what you want he gets it to you with a minimum of delay.

I can't imagine anyplace better.

I have the design pretty much done.  I still keep staring at it, looking for
something that needs to change.  But I think I'm just about ready to print.
Here is a link to the front and back of the card.  I welcome criticism or
suggestions!

It sounds like UX5UO is the way to go.

I have had him make two different cards for me.  They are top quality at a
bargain price.  But even better is the help he will give you in designing
your card if you wish.  If you have an idea he is willing to take what you
have and turn it into a ready to go design.  He is fast and responsive over
the net and once you decide what you want he gets it to you with a minimum
of delay.

I can't imagine anyplace better.

It is about 3 inches wide.  I little bigger than a label would be.  But I'm
not using label software just yet.  It is big enough to fill in by hand, and
a label will fover most of it.

Hi Jason,

Looks good!

You probably have this covered... is the QSO details area an appropriate
size to use standard labels from logging software?

Looks like all sorts of folks have had UX5UO print up excellent QSL's.  I 
ask again, has anyone had him make EIDXA QSL's??   If there is ever any 
interest in making more EIDXA QSL's I would think a layout change is in 
order to accommodate labels for the popular logging software packages.

Guys, the Quad Cities Repeater Group W9QCR is working on a small fund
raiser, to raise a little money towards the repeater fund. A few weeks back
I had sent out a message about the DVB R820T Dongle. I was so impressed
with this little Gizmo that I ordered a few of them and we are offering
these for sale. If you are not familiar with what these things are or can
do I will try to explain a little.

The DVB Dongle was originally designed for Digital TV reception in Europe.
Then some guy way smarter than me figured out that it will also work as a
wide band Radio receiver, and he started to write the software to make it
happen. The result is a programmed called SDSharp. SDSharp is the basic
receiver software and there are many ad on,s you can download.

So what it is, is this...A Software Designed Radio Receiver that covers
from 24Mhz to 1.7Ghz with no real gaps. It will receive in
AM,FM,WFM,USB,LSB,CW,DSB  with it you can use it as you would any receiver.

As an example most of all the local Police in the QCA are now using a radio
system know as Trunk-tracking if you wan to be able to listen to the cops
you have to spend $300.00 to $400.00 bucks for a nice desktop scanner from
Uniden

Personally I am into Aviation Comms, with my Dongle I can enter all the
local airport Freqs and it scans them all, I can also use it to decode
ACARS transmissions from planes in flight, and the newest thing is really
cool I can now track planes in flight on my own radar screen using this
little dongle.

You can also add a small Up-converter to these to make it able to receive
all of the HF bands too!

Here is a link to a short YouTube video I made showing you how it works,
there are tons of other videos on YouTube about this subject also..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XNTCdoJifg

These dongles cost about $20.00 to $22.00 on e-bay and a few other places.

The QCRG is selling them for $18.00 and if you want to make it $20.00 we
will be happy to take the extra, as I said all proceeds are for the
repeater fund. I have these at my office, just call me to be sure I will be
there if you would like to pick one up.309-792-6010

Message-ID: <CAD90X8M1=mT-nTwgAJ_7ENT3LGX2a-j-6fg8EHCFBf4YrmqrVw@mail.gmail.com>

Davenport has a new D-Star repeater on 440.83125+5mHz. Tried the new
repeater for the first time from the home last night and it works very
well.  Have a couple of questions for the D-Star crowd.

*Can someone send me a list of five or ten of the MOST used or popular
reflectors that I can link to and listen.*

Second, was able to connect to the new repeater using CQCQCQ and everything
appeared normal.  Used the echo function and it appeared to function
normally.

Last night I also connected to reflector 014 module C.  Was able to talk to
the folks on the HamNation aftershow D-Star net.  Kind of neat listening to
folks all over the country!  My second and third transmission still had
URCALL=REF014C, a mistake on my part.  (Like I was trying multiple
connects.)  I changed URCALL back to CQCQCQ after somone reminded me and
everything was normal until I tried to disconnect.

COULD NOT disconnect using the UNLINK command (URCALL=7 spaces and U).  The
repeater would not unlink from REF014C until the guy I was talking to (the
net control guy) unlinked.  As soon as he unlinked, I was able to re-issue
the U command and the new repeater unlinked.

*Any idea why this happened?*

URCALL=REF014C, a mistake on my part.? (Like I was trying multiple
connects.)? I changed URCALL back to CQCQCQ after somone reminded me and
everything was normal until I tried to disconnect.

COULD NOT disconnect using the UNLINK command (URCALL=7 spaces and U).? The
repeater would not unlink from REF014C until the guy I was talking to (the
net control guy) unlinked.? As soon as he unlinked, I was able to re-issue
the U command and the new repeater unlinked.

*Any idea why this happened?*

January 17th 2013, I was awarded my DXCC for working 100 countries.

Today I have confirmed 193, worked 246

 

90+ new countries in a year!  

 

I guess when you're at the bottom of the mountain, the climb is easier..for
now..

 

Now I have to catch up with all you 300+ guys!

Hi Rich,

Try N3SL (http://qrz.com/db/N3SL). I needed one recently to send to EP3HF

Subject: [EIDXA] Web DX Spotting URL Question
Message-ID: <9FAB83CACA234DC6B4C89F8D283743E7@nelson>

Recently, a new web based DX spotting site was announced. It has real time
filter capability, and is a very useful site. Unfortunately, I didn't
bookmark the site, and I lost the URL. I can't remember the name of the
site, and generic searches on DX spotting aren't bringing up the needed
information. Does anybody have the URL for this new and innovative site?

 

Nelson, KU0A

Thank you N6ML for the URL of the DX spotting site I was looking for.

 

The reason I couldn't find it was that it will not run in the last version
of Outlook supported in Windows XP. I had bookmarked it in Google Chrome,
and forgotten about that.

 

The URL is:

 

https://dxheat.com/dxc/

 

Check this out, and you will be pleased.

Has anyone successfully combined a P3, a K3, SteppIR and N1MM?  If so how did you wire it up (which pins connect and which not)?  The computer has a true serial port.

The SteppIR worked fine with the K3 and P3 alone.  Once we added the Computer and N1MM the SteppIR no longer follows the K3 and only changes when a call sign is entered in the logging window.

And how about adding MMTTY to the mix?

David,

My sense is this is not a wiring issue - but more of a computer 
configuration issue.  The good news is that N1MM is configurable for just 
about anything you may want.  The bad news is that N1MM is configurable 
for just about anything you may want!!!

I would highly suggest that you go to the N1MM reflectors and either 
search for an answer to your questions - or post your question to the 
reflector.  My bet is that 1000 others have already done what you want to 
do and can take you there step by step.

Otherwise you will be swimming in the .ini file pool.

Good luck,
Rick

Which logger?

HRD can clean up dupes, IIRC.  I did this to myself somehow once with it.

Alternatively export the log to ADIF and parse out the dupes, then, re-import that ADIF.

Maybe just export, clear the log, and import again If your logging 
software has a dupe checking on import option.

If that is the case, I think that the previous suggestion to export, clear the log, and the re-import is the key; there is an option on import not to do dupe qso's on import may be the trick.

I think when I did it I had imported contest QSO's twice or something like that.

Since you can/should create a fresh logbook, and then import your adif to that, you can avoid destroying your good one entirely until you're done (I can't remember if there are useful fields that aren't in ADIF but are in an HRD log)--I use HRD with MySQL, not the access DB that is the default.

Message-ID: <CAD90X8MJ_aiN2rA38_n4_TJyfids4V-C16QpXA7AHdj0XQ4gnw@mail.gmail.com>

I have a Kenwood TS-940SAT that has been sitting on the shelf for 10+
years.  Would like to give it to my father in-law.  Still powers up, but
the same problem exists.  It has an intermittent transmit problem.
Randomly the transmit power drops to zero on all bands.  The output power
will come back, after it sits unpowered for a few hours.

Miles at AES, Milwaukee has retired and they no longer have a service
technician.

Looking for alternatives, preferably within driving distance of the Quad
Cities.  Or a name, that is highly recommended.

Marty,

I have had my TS940SAT repaired twice, the times were about 5 years apart
(2006 and 2011).  Each time I sent it to John at LPC Wireless in Florida.
He did an excellent job in both cases and his charges were quite reasonable.
Each time it was a power supply issue with the LV regulator card.  In recent
years I understand he has tried to get out of the TS940 repair business,
however he was so good that if I had to have mine worked on again I would
try him first and would try to coerce him into working on it.  He has a web
page at  http://www.qsl.net/ki4nr/index.htm .

Marty,

I have used Midwest Technical Services from Watertow, SD   Tim Moes  WD0FKC
a couple of times and have had excellent service and pricing.  It is
expensive t ship these radios around so I have tried to use someone as local
as possible.  He has worked on a FT1000MP and a Icom for me in the past.  He
is on the web.

Jim,
I forwarded your need over to a local guy that you may have meet at the W9WLR get together 2 months ago.

I would rise my hand but I just have too many other things needing my time.? I have done a TS-940 before and there a number of updates that one should do.? I suspect that it is either a cold solder joint or a bad connection in the PA area.

Alliant energy in Washington Iowa has started to replace their streetlights

with LED lights. They have been receiving some complaints about these

Lights causing RFI . AB0DX, Mark who works for Alliant in Washington.

was asked by his boss to see if there were hams in Cedar Rapids who

Thanks Terry,
	This may fit with something new I've had.

I had posted elsewhere; but does anybody have audio of what they sound like?

Below is something new-ish in my area that is killing 20/15/17/10, 20 
and 17 are the most affected.  It appears to my SE.  I'm going to try 
and go walking with a handheld AM today to see if it's not something easy..

Couple of caps from the P3:
http://webmail.bitjanitor.net/~jhetrick/15m-south.bmp
http://webmail.bitjanitor.net/~jhetrick/20m-south.bmp

Some audio:
http://www.frogstar.org/radio/audio/DX/2014-03-16_14-25-13_QRM-17M.mp3

You may be able to hear on 17M when I kicked the NR off.

http://www.frogstar.org/radio/audio/DX/2014-03-16_14-24-20_QRM-20M.mp3

It appears all the time; I had thought it intermittent, but lately I've 
been more active and it's certainly QRV all the time I've been listening.

I can null it on 20M very specifically at about 350 degrees; but very 
narrow.  My yagi isn't very high; on 10, I can find multiple nulls as 
you'd expect.  I am going to wander the streets to see if I can find it 
by hand tho..

The humps are about 60khz apart like a switcher, but, I've done the 
in-house test and killed all power and run from battery and it's not my QTH.

Since KU0A lives near, I asked him to see if he hears it as well.  Maybe 
between the two of us we can pinpoint it; I'm hoping its on my street. 
It doesn't sound like anything I've found on the audio files I've 
listened to.  It's not nasty enough or intermittent enough to be a 
running plasma.

Joe,

Can you display and take a photo of the audio.  That can tell us a lot about 
the noise source.  I can easily display that on my DMU-2000 or my Tektronics 
and although I can't recognize all of the waveforms, the most common ones 
from the power lines are easy to spot.

73,  Jim

Joe,

I replied to you university address because your bitjanitor address bounces
because of the spam filter.

I listened on 15 and 20 but I can't identify the noise you hear. Maybe I
could if I had a P3 to locate the frequencies. My beam is now stuck North
until I change the plug in the shack.

Thanks Terry,
	This may fit with something new I've had.

I had posted elsewhere; but does anybody have audio of what they sound like?

Below is something new-ish in my area that is killing 20/15/17/10, 20 
and 17 are the most affected.  It appears to my SE.  I'm going to try 
and go walking with a handheld AM today to see if it's not something easy..

Couple of caps from the P3:
http://webmail.bitjanitor.net/~jhetrick/15m-south.bmp
http://webmail.bitjanitor.net/~jhetrick/20m-south.bmp

Some audio:
http://www.frogstar.org/radio/audio/DX/2014-03-16_14-25-13_QRM-17M.mp3

You may be able to hear on 17M when I kicked the NR off.

http://www.frogstar.org/radio/audio/DX/2014-03-16_14-24-20_QRM-20M.mp3

It appears all the time; I had thought it intermittent, but lately I've 
been more active and it's certainly QRV all the time I've been listening.

I can null it on 20M very specifically at about 350 degrees; but very 
narrow.  My yagi isn't very high; on 10, I can find multiple nulls as 
you'd expect.  I am going to wander the streets to see if I can find it 
by hand tho..

The humps are about 60khz apart like a switcher, but, I've done the 
in-house test and killed all power and run from battery and it's not my QTH.

Since KU0A lives near, I asked him to see if he hears it as well.  Maybe 
between the two of us we can pinpoint it; I'm hoping its on my street. 
It doesn't sound like anything I've found on the audio files I've 
listened to.  It's not nasty enough or intermittent enough to be a 
running plasma.

73,

VKN

If I run in AM and then cap it with an audio analyzer on my PC will that 
be sufficient, you think?

I did notice that the few sources I found, only had AF spectrum and not 
RF spectrum pics.

I dug more and found some archive.org stuff of powerline noise and it 
seems similar.  It's not pulsey as if it were data traffic of some sort.

That should do it, Joe.  What you want to look at is the audio.  Most arc 
type power line noise looks like repetitive spikes, form one to many 
depending on the actual source.  I haven't had time to look but I'll bet the 
ARRL website has some of the various waveforms.  I need to do some searching 
because one of my sources is a saw tooth with a higher frequency noise 
riding on it.  I doubt it is power line noise but it is a pain.

73,  Jim

I understand they replaced the large inductor in the older grow light ballast and replaced them with Triac and SCR devices and unless the 
AC line is properly filtered they will turn into extremely bad broadband noise generators that can literally 
cover blocks with strong broadband noise. 
I'm glad they are making this problem with grow lights known.

Hi Jim,
	Any ideas would be appreciated!  I did hit this up:

http://www.arrl.org/sounds-of-rfi

Though, I just found this:

http://www.iarums-r1.org/iarums/sound/main.html

And I haven't listened through those yet.

A useful datapoint is that it doesn't seem to vary with time of day, 
nor, have I (this week, since I've been listening for several hours a 
day--which is what prompted me to start investigating--I have time!) 
ever heard it cease.  So, whatever it is active either all the time, or, 
on a schedule I haven't stumbled across yet.

It has been present for some months, but, for some reason I had thought 
it was intermittent--mostly due to my activity and bands it seems worst 
on.  I also tend to find more noise during the holiday season, and I 
just thought with the cold and such this year, it was hanging on longer 
than normal.

73,

VKN

I think this is covered here:

Unfortunately I don't live in Washington or Colorado, and, no scruffy 
long hairs have moved into my neighborhood (aside from me, of course).

Carl, K9LA, wrote a short paper on topband paths to FT5ZM from 
near the antipode.  interesting.

http://k9la.us

Look in the 160m link on the left on the home page. Then open 
or download the file "Arrival Direction of FT5ZM in North 
America on 160m". It also discusses some 160m basics - the 
"black hole" in the southwest USA, great circle paths, etc.

Joe,

I got behind and could not get on the computer and I'm lost......or at least 
I think I'm lost which is about the same.  I've been through this noise 
chasing for years--at least 30.  I do not have all the answers but have some 
of the techniques that are claimed to lead to answers.  If you still have 
questions, let's talk on the phone and go over it.  I would be happy to do 
that so let me know.  I can call if that helps.

Thanks for the one-up on the Kent paddle.  It was gone before I had time to 
think about it.  That is one things I'll look for at Dayton.  Actually, a 
month or so ago I discovered the auto character space was turned on for both 
of my keyers.  I turned it off and I'm amazed at how much better I'm doing. 
I'm still rusty but I've been able to put a few words together at times 
without making a mistake!

Let me know about the noise.

73,   Jim

That should do it, Joe.  What you want to look at is the audio.  Most arc
type power line noise looks like repetitive spikes, form one to many
depending on the actual source.  I haven't had time to look but I'll bet the
ARRL website has some of the various waveforms.  I need to do some searching
because one of my sources is a saw tooth with a higher frequency noise
riding on it.  I doubt it is power line noise but it is a pain.

If I run in AM and then cap it with an audio analyzer on my PC will that
be sufficient, you think?

I did notice that the few sources I found, only had AF spectrum and not
RF spectrum pics.

I dug more and found some archive.org stuff of powerline noise and it
seems similar.  It's not pulsey as if it were data traffic of some sort.

Half hour until Iowa's turn at W1AW.   This should be interesting.

 

Thanks to everyone from the club who has helped me get this thing going!

Subject: [EIDXA] Eastern Iowa DX Association April Meeting
Message-ID: <002f01cf4d4d$58c99460$0a5cbd20$@mchsi.com>

The next meeting of the Eastern Iowa DX Association will be
on Friday, April 18th at 7:30 PM in the Amana Room in Iowa
Hall on the Kirkwood Community College campus.  (The Amana
Room is the same room that we used at our last meeting.)
Craig Thompson, K9CT, will present a program titled
?Top-Band DXing from Wake and Amsterdam?.

How to get to IOWA HALL:  It is best to take the South
Entrance road to the campus, off of Kirkwood Blvd. Go past
the radio towers, then turn left into the parking lots near
the Mansfield Center, #20 on this map:
  http://www.kirkwood.edu/maincampus  
An aerial view courtesy of Bing Maps is here:
  http://binged.it/13ej1QN 
(Mansfield is in the exact center of this view.)

Enter through the Mansfield Center door, which puts you on
the 2nd floor of Iowa Hall. Go up the stairs to the 3rd
floor and take a right. When you come out into the main
corridor, take a left to the Amana Room, rather than going
to the right to rooms A-D where have met before. (Note that
if you prefer, there is also an elevator off to the right as
you come in the Mansfield Center door.)

I will send out another email reminder a few days before the
meeting.

Craig, K?CF
President, EIDXA
