1. High quality mic setup
Published Forum topic by NC3Z
[ http://www.w3vpr.org/node/1250 ]

As used in my station for a few years. I received a large number of
unsolicited comments from DX stations on how well my audio sounded.
Frequently a DX station would actually ask what my setup was in the middle of
a pile-up! This setup will bring to life a lower end radio, or a top end
radio. I ran this on several Icoms (756Pro series) and Kenwood TS-480.

MXL-990 Condenser Mic

And

Behringer VX-2000 Mic Pre-amp and EQ
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2535 [2]

Add a foot switch and this provides a great hands free operation setup. Also
the VX-2000 has a great noise gate and compressor that very effectively
removes room noises.

Fortunately with the mic/audio capabilities of my FTDX5000MP I no longer need
this setup.

$75 for the combo

2. Louisiana QSO Party on February 9th
Published Blog entry by Your Field Day Team
[ http://www.w3vpr.org/node/1232 ]

*Please mark your calendar for February 9th!*

*Update: February 10th:*

The Louisiana QSO party is now in the books, and I would like to thank
everyone that showed up. We ended up working 15 parishes, with a potential
score of 450 points. Although finding Louisiana contacts proved to be a
challenge at time, I think we can all agree that that we had a good day.

A total of 16 people showed up, some new hams making there first HF contact
and even some individuals that are not licensed yet, but wanted to see what
casual contesting and HF radio was all about.

We will keep you posted on next months event, although not confirmed as of
yet, mark your calendar for March 16th or the 17th. We will be posting more
information as we get closer to March. All are welcome as always.

73,

W3VPR will be participating in the Louisiana QSO party beginning at 3PM (Or
after testing ends at the clubhouse) till 10PM.

This event is open to all hams or those that have an interest in ham radio.
If you are a Tech or non-licensed and want to get on the HF bands we will
have control ops on hand.

Currently the plan is to run possible three stations, 2 HF and 1 VHF. (On a
side note, for those that want to see a really cool 6 meter portable setup I
encourage you to stop by and see what will be there, I'm still waiting on
confirmation that 6 meter station will be active) Since we are only looking
for LA contacts we will be calling CQ looking specifically for Louisiana.
This will make it slightly challanging but fun as we pratice are skills of
calling CQ.

As always we are a casual contest group, winning is not our top priority, but
to have fun and enjoy an evening of making contacts and enjoying ham radio.
Please send me an email at k3bay at w3vpr.org [2] if you have any questions or
comments.
