Nelson,

You are to be congratulated, that is really a great effort.  I agree with 
your advice.  At least try to get them for the rarer DXpeditions. 
Unfortunately, "rarer" is not always that obvious so to be safe you just 
work them all as soon as they show up.  Be aware that this has caused more 
than one divorce!

Your totals on 6 meters, and to some extent on 160, point out the folly of 
the Challenge Award.  The ARRL screwed it up by including 6 and 160 and I 
think it would a challenge enough with 80 through 10.  Deleting those bands 
would make it fairer and it is theoretically possible that someone in the 
Midwest, for example, could work them all on any band 10 thru 80.  I suspect 
that is marginally true on 160 given two great stations and the right prop 
but I don't think it will ever be possible on 6 unless you do moon bounce.

73,   Jim

Bob, if you ever thing that you might want to turn in band slots for the
Challenge Award, don't wait until retirement to start. Some of those band
slots won't be around again for many years due to the solar cycle and world
political intrigue. I started working band slots before the Challenge came
along, so when it arrived, I had a big head start. I'm still missing around
20 entities on 10 and 12 meters (need DXpeditions to those during solar
maxima), but I've worked down to less than 10 entities needed on 15/17/20
meters. P5 is the only one I haven't worked on 20 meter, confirming the
conventional wisdom that 20 meters is the best DX band if you have to choose
only one band. I'm near 300 on 30 and 40, a little over 200 on 80, and a
little over 100 on 160. 6 meter is the killer for us in Iowa, and I only
have 29 there. So go ahead and work what you can hear now, because you may
never get another chance.

Nelson, KU0A

about 30 recent DXpeditions having both leader board turned off for some and
on for others.  Conclusion, it has no statistical impact !  There seems to
be many other factors that influence percentage of uniques.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
From The KP1-5 project
RE: K1N Navassa Island DXpedition


Navassa: Progress being made


The first helicopter flight of the day (the second overall) took off at sunrise this morning.  It contained only cargo, health and welfare supplies and no operators.  The second flight today has Team Members Gregg W6IZT, John W2GD and Ralph K?IR along with gear.  It landed on Navassa at 1800z.
The next (and probably last) flight of the day will include radios and two Team Members Craig K9CT and Lou N2TU.


There is a strong possibility that we will have two or three stations on the air tonight -- smack in the middle of Super Bowl XLIX!


The team on the island reports strong winds, very hot temperature, rats as large as cats, scorpions, Black Widow spiders, and some Haitians.  Despite all that, progress is being made building the camp infrastructure.


After the last flight today, there will be eight Team Members on the island leaving six still in Jamaica.  Our last Team Member George AA7JV and "Electra" remain in port in Jamaica awaiting improving weather.

Message-ID: <201502031457.04459.wb8zrl@southslope.net>

Several years ago we had an ice storm that covered my beam with ice.  I left 
it pointing straight East.  When the sun came out it melted the ice off the 
elements that were sagging to the South.  No ice melted off the other side of 
the elements that were pointing North.  The weight of the ice was enough 
that the elements turned on the boom.

The idea is to point the beam either North or South and let the sun evenly 
melt both sides of the elements.

As usual, the deliberate QRM (DQRM) on K1N is unbelievable. I went to the K1N website to ?help out? and submit a few DQRM reports. Scrolling to the bottom of the DQRM page I noted that the DQRM Chief Technical Officer is George P. Burdell III, PHD.

?Googling? George P. Burdell III, PHD comes up with several interesting hits. For example:

So was the DQRM project conceived over too many beers on April 1???

Maybe WB8ZRL met this guy while at Georgia Tech.

Anyway.... good luck in the hunt!

I don't know that I would bother; I expect they had a merge go bad.  I'd
wait a few days and work them on another band or two if you need them
and see if it straightens out on it's own.

when I've seen that happen in the past, it usually fixes itself in the
next upload or two.

John,

I believe they are aware of it.  If you wish, I might send a quick, one
line note to Tony, K2SG who is the North American pilot.  Let him know -
but as you noted, I think many have already notified them!  I would highly
suggest that you do not reference your QSO but more of a general note.  The
last thing they want is for someone to ask to verify a QSO!!!

Remember, Glenn W0GJ told us they did not intend to operate on 10M - so I
think there was a 30M to 30MHz translation problem!

They have also noted, if you read the News, that they are having network
problems - I think that may also affect QSOs that are not showing up.  For
example my 160M QSO!!!!!

Sit tight a bit - they are doing a great job despite the police,
intentional QRM, having to deal with ops that don't what the buttons are
their radios are for, etc.  And we need to make sure we honor their
requests when they ask for regional calls.  These guys are AMAZING!!!!!
Best of the Best!

Rick

Hopefully everyone else is having better luck then I am working the K1N.  I 
am wanting to see what other people are seeing too.

Most of the time they are S0 to S1.  Sometimes fading completely out.

I am seeing a lot of fade and low readings with other caribean stations too. 
Midwest black hole symdrone or just Henry County?  This has been going on 
for a while.

When I do see a stronger field strenght it's fast S0 to S9 and back down in 
a hurry within a couple of seconds. This is all carribean stations.

This is with my KLM KT-34XA up 75 feet pointed at them.  It seems like 
anything below S3 I can't
work from my Qth. Any station on HF.

I wish the RF police UP and Split people would disappear they are causing a 
whole lot of problems.

I wish the spanish or Italitain "Split you idiot guy" , someone close to him 
will go over to his QTH and stick 50 pins in he's coax.  I think this guy is 
everywhere during the day.  Maybe he need to joint a coffee group now at 
McDonald's or Hardees and stay off the bands.  I know he thinks he's being 
helpful but he's not.

Many thanks and great job to the K1N guys.

Scott,

Something is wrong.  They have had good signals on all bands, I don't think 
hearing them has been a problem.  Sometimes working them can be difficult 
because there is still a lot of demand and some difficult pileups.  It may 
be the finest bunch of CW operators I've ever heard.  They seem to all do a 
great job of pulling out calls from what must be a snoot full of callers. 
I've worked them on all bands where I have tried including 160 and this may 
be the worst 160 location in the country.  High noise and poor antennas is 
not a great combination.

Can you hear other strong signals?  It just all seems so strange.

Good luck with getting it figured out.

73,  Jim  W0SR

I am seeing a lot of fade and low readings with other caribean stations too.
Midwest black hole symdrone or just Henry County?? This has been going on
for a while.

When I do see a stronger field strenght it's fast S0 to S9 and back down in
a hurry within a couple of seconds. This is all carribean stations.

This is with my KLM KT-34XA up 75 feet pointed at them.? It seems like
anything below S3 I can't
work from my Qth. Any station on HF.

I wish the RF police UP and Split people would disappear they are causing a
whole lot of problems.

I wish the spanish or Italitain "Split you idiot guy" , someone close to him
will go over to his QTH and stick 50 pins in he's coax.? I think this guy is
everywhere during the day.? Maybe he need to joint a coffee group now at
McDonald's or Hardees and stay off the bands.? I know he thinks he's being
helpful but he's not.

Many thanks and great job to the K1N guys.

Scott

This afternoon the bands started coming up around 2:00 PM.  I ended up 
working them on 15 and 12 cw

within 5 minutes.

Propagation opened up they were S9 when I worked them that's as strong as I 
have seen them allday.

All the other lids are around S5 to S20 here.  Too bad not the other way 
around.

Just checking to see what other folks are seeing around the area.

Thanks
Scott

Scott,

You saw my setup.  They have had huge signals on all bands - S7+ on 160,
S9+ on 80 and above.  Early in the week they focused on the strong US
stations and now there is more of a EU/JA set aside of time.

I do notice that when a band like 10M drops it drops so fast it is
amazing!  From +30 over S9 to gone in 10 minutes.

But they have been strong.

And as Jim stated - they are probably the BEST OPS IN THE WORLD!!!  They
are amazing!  The rates of full calls with the depth of the piles is
incredible!

Rick

Hey All,
      It seems like every night of the K1N around sunset (gray line) the 
band opened up from S0 - S1 to S9 then I could work the heck out of them for 
about a 15 minute

window then the band drops out or something drops out. I normally run about 
60 watts all the time except in big pile ups then the Alpha is kicked in 
running about 1100 watts to 900 watts in to tribander.

4 years ago the tower was cleaned off in the winter and antennas replaced in 
the Spring with a new Cushcraft D3W warc dipole, Cushcraft XM2-40 and

WB0MCO and I rebuilt the KT-34 XA with the rebuild kit from M2 and new 5 KW 
balun from Array Solutions.  500 feet of new Belden 9913F installed, new 
Belden Rotor cable and new 6 port antenna switch

from Array Solutions. Plus all new Belden 9913F cabling inside the house and 
Polyphaser grounding equipment inside and outside. So I am not sure what's 
taking place that's way I was asking

like something was going wrong but I don't know what.  The weird thing was 
the K1N was around S0 to S3 all day yesterday (Sunday) and last night I 
worked E50A and he reported

I was S9 +20 and he was around S9+10 on 20 phone and then I worked 9M2RDX on 
15 CW both around 2:00  GMT. The 9M2 was the only signal on the band I could 
hear and he was just above

the noise level.  Right now at 11:15 PM Monday K1N is S9 +40 on 40 meters I 
almost need to add some attenution 20 dB.  My tower is 72 feet from the 
ground up and 25 feet above the tower is the mast.

I have a 18 foot W9IIX ladder mast plus some 2 inch alum conduit above that 
for the rotary dipole.  The only thing I didn't replace on the multi year 
rebuild was the Drake MN-2000 and Alpha amp.

Plus new Rig in September 2014 Icom 7800 (early retirement gift to me).  The 
old 781s power supply dumped after 21 years of use. Icom just laughed at me 
when I talked to them about fixing or parts.


Here's another wierd thing that has been going on for years:  With Hygain 
(Lincoln special) TH7 old and KLM KT-34XA new same QTH and same height the 
only thing differant is the year it was on my tower.

Both were new out of the box. The KLM/M2 KT-34 was has a standing wave of 
1.5:1 on 15,20 and 1.3:1 on 10 mtrs for the 18 years.

My S reading: S0 to S3 I can hear them but can't normally work them. 
Sometimes this statement isn't true.

My S reading: S5 to S7 talk to them with their report to me of S9 +10

My S reading: S9 +10 talk to them with their report to me of S9+20

Thanks for looking at this
Scott

Scott,

My only comment is that 9913 is notorious for filling with water.  Do you
have a coax problem?

Does not explain the signal peaks and valleys.

Rick's comment reminded me that I once had a cracked coax in the rotor loop
from flexing stiff coax in the cold. I noticed it because of fluctuating
signals in the shack and then noticed fluctuating VSWR. Upon inspection of
the coax, the shield was corroded along the split, and about three inches
into the insulation on either side. I replaced the short loop section and
all was well. Another time I had strange behavior on the TH-11 was when the
balun failed and had to be replaced.

   The EIDXA members have been actively chasing K1N.

   As of 2PM Tuesday, 45 of our members have made at 

   least 1 contact with K1N.  Adding up all the Q's

   made with K1N and dividing by the 45 members that

   show up in the log, the average number of Q's per

   member is just over 5 1/2 contacts.  (5.73)

What with all the jammers, policemen, jerks and lids notwithstanding, I
finally worked all band/modes except RTTY from 20 to 10. (I have  40 
and 160 from previous efforts.)  My 80M antennas are currently kaput.

Overall, I consider them the best bunch of operators I have ever encountered in 
my 68 years of DXing.

You are correct, Lew, it is a bunch of super operators.  I'll bet when the 
stats get out we will be surprised at some of the rates they achieve.  Yet, 
they do not seem to have worked out the demand, pileups continue to be huge. 
You can always work them on RTTY directly from your K-3 as I understand it.

I agree it's one of the best handled DXpeditions I've ever seen.  I had to
leave last Thursday and was afraid I'd miss them before I could get back
home this weekend, but I managed to snag 5 band slots and all 3 modes
running the Flex barefoot, and nothing but the Butternut vertical for 30 &
40.  If I get home in time on Saturday I may try for one or two last
contacts on 10, 12, or 80.

They have been mostly easy to work if you wait for the optimum times on each
band. I avoid calling when they're hearing EU, since they're between the EU
wall and NA wall. I can only imagine what they're hearing when the band is
open to both.  I've worked several band/modes with only a few calls with
them almost begging for Qs, and none of my high band Qs took long, mostly
under 20 min. Other band/modes have been more challenging e.g. 30 meter RTTY
which took me 3 hrs. and I tried twice for about an hour each time and still
don't have a 40 meter CW Q.  I'm not insane enough to chase them on 40 meter
phone. Surprisingly, 80 and 160 were easy. They were so loud on 160 that I
could receive them on the inverted L well above the noise. It really helps
to have dual receive capability, especially for the big splits. I took the
weekend off in honor of all the weekend warriors. I sympathize with them
because I used to be one of them. Overall, they are indeed one of best group
of operators in a while.

3 cheers for these guys!

What a great bunch to work with and over the top operators, support staff 
and people that made this thing possible in the wings. This was not easy to 
make happen.

The bar is set extremely high now for future operations.  The NWFS staff 
what a great  experience that was left for them to remember HAM RADIO by.

Makes me proud to be affiliated with such an outstanding group.

I haven't had this much fun since HK0NA at Malpelo!    I've had a blast
chasing these guys.  I would bet money that this makes DXpedition of the
year!   What I DON'T like is how rowdy people are getting.  I've never heard
so much cussing, insulting, and generally terrible conduct on HF before in
my life.  I was also saddened by the criticism that the K1N team took from
people who feel that the DX Cluster is their own personal chatroom.  And
that got my brain spinning a bit, and I had the casual thought that a
DXpedition's open support of the DX Code of Conduct could possibly be added

It's been fun for sure... Not as much fun as a DX contest but fun for DXing ;-)


I won't get 10m, but that's OK.  Very low percentage of JAs worked thus far for 16% (Asia) of the funding, so, I don't mind if they're running JAs when I get home in the afternoon (yes, I still work for a living).

  TI9/3Z9DX is headed to Cocos Island. 3 operators will man the station.

  According to "Dom" the leader of the dxpedition this could be the last

  operation from this island for quite a while. This was his answer to a 

  question about future operations.

   3z9dx Dom says:
November 25, 2014 at 18:16

There is no such possibility, and probably will be not in the future. From my conversations with the National Park they DON?T want to have any more activity on the island. Remember please ? it looks like this might be the last expedition to Coco.

  Don't pass this one up if you need it for ATNO, or for band fills.

Glenn,

I agree with Tom, it was a great operation.  Really great CW operators!  The 
Zero Detector must have worked well, I worked K1N on 160 on the first call! 
Working anything on 160 here is a rare occurrence.  That made my week. 
Looking forward to hearing the story, especially those 20# rats!

Hello Tom,
 
I was just reading your EIDXA newsletter,  quite a production.  Seems like 
Kirkwood should just re-name the Amana room to the EIDXA room!
 
As like most of us, my memory tends to get a little fuzzy over time.  I seem 
to recall that at one of our club meetings we had a talk by a U of IA 
professor about using tall towers as a lightning prevention system at 
Cape Canaveral.  One thing I think I remember is his statement that a 
properly installed tower can provide some lightning protection for a radial 
distance 10 times the height of the tower.
 
Do you recall this or can you canvas the members and find what they 
remember?  Even better would be the name of the professor so I can 
look on line and see if I can find his research.  I will appreciate it.
 
When the subject of ham towers comes up I use this as an argument in 
favor of allowing such structures.  The few times back we tried to get 
something through the state legislature to allow towers, but the HOA 
lobbyists and one state senator in particular managed to block it every 
time.  Of course I don?t think the amateur representatives put forth a very 
good argument either.
 
Always nice to hear a few of you on the air from time to time.  I am 
scheduled to go on another DXpedition in March to a location in NE Africa 
( sorry an official announcement hasn?t been made) so I will be sure to 
listen for you fellows.

Tom,

While I don't remember the talk, the professor might have been Don Gurnett of the UI physics department. He is a ham, and he has given several talks to the Iowa City Amateur Radio Club over the years, so he could have also done one for EIDXA.

It's nice to know you're still with us. I had forgotten where in AZ you ended up.

Nelson, KU0A

I want to know if the cops were worth the $100k you spent. Did they shoot the rats?

I know I worked you once on CW, but cannot remember the band....I was
thinking 160M, but not sure.

You can "usually" see who the op was on ClubLog, but not always....depending
upon whether or not the op logged in when sitting down.   Sometimes we gave
relief breaks and didn't log in for short times.

Glenn,

I agree with Tom, it was a great operation.  Really great CW operators!  The
Zero Detector must have worked well, I worked K1N on 160 on the first call! 
Working anything on 160 here is a rare occurrence.  That made my week. 
Looking forward to hearing the story, especially those 20# rats!

Hey guys!

Our new DC funding team has taken a look at the upcoming DXpedition to Eritrea. ?Here is a link to the press release that was put out Yesterday..

http://dxnews.com/eritrea-project-2015/

Our funding team has suggested a donation of $100 from club funds, not to be matched from the Tom Hise fund. As this is a short notice DXpedition, ?I propose a vote to be placed between now and sunday, to give time for all members to add their 2 cents to the pot.

Be sure to factor in the fact that Tom Kramer, former EIDXA member now living in AZ as NQ7R, is part of the E3 team. Maybe a match is warranted?

I'd be good with that, particularly as Eritrea would be an ATNO for me.

Hey guys!

Our new DC funding team has taken a look at the upcoming DXpedition to Eritrea.  Here is a link to the press release that was put out Yesterday..

http://dxnews.com/eritrea-project-2015/

Our funding team has suggested a donation of $100 from club funds, not to be matched from the Tom Hise fund. As this is a short notice DXpedition,  I propose a vote to be placed between now and sunday, to give time for all members to add their 2 cents to the pot.

Hey guys!

Our new DC funding team has taken a look at the upcoming DXpedition to 
Eritrea.  Here is a link to the press release that was put out Yesterday..

http://dxnews.com/eritrea-project-2015/

Our funding team has suggested a donation of $100 from club funds, not to be 
matched from the Tom Hise fund. As this is a short notice DXpedition,  I 
propose a vote to be placed between now and sunday, to give time for all 
members to add their 2 cents to the pot.

Subject: [EIDXA] N1MM and RTTY
Message-ID: <SNT148-W67F40C2A99ECC887EDBE76DC150@phx.gbl>

General question. Did anyone use N1MM and MMTTY for cq ww wpx? I ended up with 20 or so call signs
that QRZ.com can't find after importing them into my DXKeeper log. I tried to not log poorly decoded calls.
I was expecting a few but surprised there were so many. I wonder if anyone else had similar issues. 
The Orion 2 I use has good filters and I felt confident I was getting good decodes on the Calls etc.
There is always noise causing extra characters to print on the screen and some can be mixed in with the 
actual call sign at times. I'm assuming the code written in N1MM is identifying and highlighting the 
the possible call signs on the Digital interface of N1MM.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Gary KW0J

Hey Gary,
     I use the N1MM Plus with MTTY it's the newest out on the market. (I had 
one of the beta testers in my back pocket.) You might want to upgrade to 
Plus. Make sure and keep it updated.  I also run my rig on 250 Hz filter for 
the RTTY contests better copy and twice as many contacts and better data 
quality. 500 Hz toooo wide during contests OK for everyday use. I had to ask 
for numbers and calls a lot of times. Don't  be to fast to click on the 
reports sometimes that causes issues and slows you down.
macros are great for contesting.  Don't be afraid to ask for their call 
again.  That's why I like sending calls several times. It gives you more 
time to make sure you have good data.  It seems like their was a lot of 
rammy operators in the contest. Maybe SO2R operations???
I would be glad to share my macros with you.
I like RTTY contesting. You can eat, drink, talk and still contest.
I just had 2 that were bad in the CQ WPX.  I had 5 in the BARTSG last month.

GUD LUCK  Let me know I can share what I know and my macros Plus I have a 
great beta tester for N1MM at a touch of the phone in Alabama.

I hope this answered your question.
