Froggie and other CW DXers.  Pardon me but I worked KH8SI on SSB a while 
ago.  CW is something they seem to be lacking on this particular 
trip.  Could not snag them on 20 CW the other night even with great 
patience.  18 WPM and signing with each call doesn't get too many in the 
log.  Many derogatory statements about their CW capability showed up on DX 
Summit.  Also having millions call them all at once has apparently caused 
them to toss their keys into the ocean.  Maybe another time.

Can we send G3SXW and Baldur there next?

Either of those guys will do.  We've got several in the OKDXA who can crank 
CW too but it may be politically incorrect to suggest sending CW ops there.

Jerry.....................
 
Do  not despair. There was a spot on Telnet that  they were to be on 30 cw 
tonight.
 
They only hv 1 qualified cw op and that is Kan JA1BK.  For some reason I've 
only hrd him on 30 in the morn. Their sigs peak in the  morn around 1200z.
 
K8SYE operates phone only and what u hrd was K1ER and  unfortunately he's in 
way over his head.
 
I think they hv one more full day. I think they lv @  1800z on Wed.
 
Good luck big guy.

Hi everyone,

Am I missing something, or are the 4O3T logs just about 4 full days behind?
They say right on the Web site that they will update daily.  Anybody know
where to get a current log on them?

They finally got the 4O3T logs updated.  They are at 
http://www.yu6scg.cg.yu/log-book-search.html.

All things considered, I thought the KH8SI effort was pretty decent.  It 
seemed that they were on a lot, covering a bunch of bands - including more 
than they had promised.  Sure, the CW and RTTY efforts were pretty rough (I 
only got them once on CW and never on RTTY), and yet they deserve credit for 
being in the arena and doing the fighting.  We'll all see KH8/S again before 
long and we can pick up the other bands and modes.  I'd have to give them an 
A- compared to the original expectations for the dxpedition.

Want to know what gets me upset?  It's these guys who do not QSL, keep the 
$$, and do it multiple times.  I've been taking a full frontal approach with 
a few of these guys (like SV9GPY, G3MRC (for 7Q7BP), and JH8BKL (for 
5N42NHD)).  Coy may have to have me removed from DXCC for staring an 
international incident.

Ken:

Found myself in the 4O3T logbook SSB and CW - thanks for the link.

Only one comment on the KH8 expedition? - there were numerous ones on DX 
Summit et al.  There first shot at 20 CW was quite lame.  They would have 
been better off to have passed on it.

On the QSL deal - I continue to be surprised at how common place it has 
become to "require" direct, freight and additional payment to get a 
card.  I will probably never make the honor roll as it's very rare I will 
stuff bucks in an envelope to get a QSL.  Once in a while I've done it.  I 
can relate to the cost of doing some of these expeditions so can understand 
asking for help with the costs - it seems sometimes though there are those 
that are taking advantage of the trend.  I've decided I don't need their 
country, band or mode.  I don't have any problem with exposing cheaters so 
more power to you.

Let me add V51AS, 9N7JO, and V85SS to the list. Been  trying for 2 yrs to get 
the latter 2 and almost 5 yrs for Frank  V51AS.
I wish I could prove whether or not they actually  received my money. In the

Frogmeister:

I have seen a number of V51AS cards come "via the buro" route.  I think 
what happens there is a portion of the funds received are used to pay 
freight to headquarters - now and again.

Will be enjoying CW music from the FB Multi-2 station of K5KA.  I believe 
K8s can be worked from there so give a call.

Hi Bill.......................
 
It's a shame there isn't a  way, either through a  tracking # or signature, 
that international receipt could be  confirmed.
 
I was very fortunate to catch DL5XL in 11/04. Good op and he  responded

Hi Froggy, Jerry, Coy and all,

I just had to check on V51AS.  For my 11 Q's with him in 2002 and earlier, I 
have 10 QSLs.  For my 7 Q's in 2004 and later, I have 0 QSLs.  Something is 
going on.

I don't have JO or SS, so cannot comment.

Froggy, I completely agree with your comment about not being sure your money 
was received.  I cut these guys a lot of slack, especially in third world 
countries.  But these birds in England, Japan, and Greece surely got my QSLs 
and money and I've decided to make the Crusty Curmudgeon look like a pussy 
cat by comparison.

Jerry, unfortunately, each new one is setting me back $2.  I figure that is 
cheap compared to the near fortune it took to get the XF4 card.  To pay for 
this, Lynn is having to go hungry.  I figure it is a small price for her to 
pay.

Last thing - Lynn (W5LC) recently got her QSLs back from ARRL and an EP 
(Iran) card was disallowed due to "invalid QSL manager."  Her card was 
virtually identical to mine that had received credit earlier.  I called Bill 
Moore at ARRL (actually prepared to disallow my own QSO) and through his 
questioning about the card, he was able to determine that it was from the 
RIGHT guy and she will get credit.  He said they have had a run of QSLs from 
a rogue money snatcher who claimed to be the QSL manager for the EP and 
would actually send a QSL to those who sent the right amount of money. 
Fortunately, Lynn's card came from the right place.  All's well that ends 
well.

And this joker, XE1IH, I sent for XF4IH cards multiple times. Even registered mail w/ additional GS's. Sent direct not registered, sent via WF5E. Still have not received seven of the cards for Q's that are in their logs and mine!!!
This guy is an out and out crook.

Good Show  Bill........................
 
He's been doing a great job with his cards. I'm  waiting for YU6AO to show up 
on 15 CW. Then I'll hv him on 6 bands and will send  my card off.
 
Now the question is how long will we hv to wait for  our KH8 cards

Message-ID: <5.2.0.9.2.20060808162443.00ba16e0@okdxa.org>

Folks:

Bob, K5SIT has been in failing health lately and notifies me he has to 
dismantle his current installation.  I have offered to field inquiries 
concerning the following that will be coming down tomorrow and needs to 
find a new home shortly.  Bob gave me no asking prices, just said he would 
like a fair price for the following:

A 50' tower - the bottom part of an 80' Rohn 25 tower.
80' of Rohn 25
1 - Cushcraft 5 el 6 meter beam.
1 - M2 14 element 2 meter beam
1 - 32 element 440 beam - manufacturer not mentioned

The tower with these antennas is coming down tomorrow in Woodward, OK.  Bob 
says he has a helper that is placing all his RT and other shack gear on 
EBay for him but wanted it known about the tower and antennas so I told him 
I would post here on the reflector.

Send any inquiries to me at k5yaa@okdxa.org and I will inform Bob.  He 
didn't tell me how long the items would be available but I assume for a 
number of days until he relocates to Woodward town proper.

Hi Jerry,
     Would be very interested in the 6m beam but have no idea what a fair
price would be. Maybe you or he
could set an asking price and let me know??.....mike....

Hi again Mike,

Mornings are the best time for me. My blood sugar goes south by 11:00AM and 
the heat
knocks me down hard and will untill I can get in and have sum surgery.

I can send directions direct to your e-mail address if you want.
See if you get 2 mails. I tried your real address as a copy.
Also I can send a TOPO USA map to ya.

Bob

It is great to see that Ten Tec finally realizes that
the amateur spectrum doesn't end at 30mhz.  Now they
include my favorite band-6 meters!

Hi, Kim:

I have one (original model with all the upgrades) and will be more than
happy to answer any questions you might have, especially regarding its
capability as a CW rig.  But, in short, it has the best receiver I have ever
used.  And no, it is not at all hard to use.  The only controls I touch at
all often are the RF gain and bandwidth.

What else would you like to know?

73,
Bill, N5TU

There had been a few posts about the TenTec Orion.  I get my e-mail

do you have one?  If so, what comments do have about it?

Hi Kim,

I did own an Orion and then traded it on an Orion II.  I'd agree with what 
Bill Stacy said about his.  I'd be happy to try to answer any questions 
about the O or the O II from a user standpoint.

   I've  considered  the  Orion.   What did (or do) you like about it and
   what  don't  you  like  about it?  How is it as a contest rig? DX rig?
   How  about  'phone  and  the  digital modes? I've herad that the rx is
   bullet-proof;  how  bullet-proof  is  it?  And,  how about the roofing
   filters?   I  read  some place that the narrowest may not be the best.
   Lastly,  how  about  overall ergonomics.  I've had a TS-930S (the same
   one)  for  over  20 years and am more-or-less familiar with some other
   Japanese  rigs, but I've heard thatthe TenTec is completely different.
   What did you find?
   Enough questions? :)

Gang,

As of yesterday (Aug 15th) a physicist with Marshall Space  Flight in 
Huntsville (NASA) announced  that a rare occurance has  happened. On July 
31st The sun 
gave birth to a single  sunspot, but  this was no ordinary sunspot, it was a 
backwards one. Backwards   sunspots only occurs just before a really large 
sunspot cycle. So  scientists  believe that this activity is indicating that 
the next  
cycle will indeed be a  large one. They also say that the backwards  sunspot 
is the beginning of a new  cycle, so if that is the case, as of  July 31st 
we're 
now in Cycle 24.

Hi Ken,

No, I didn't receive anything. I checked my spam filter and it's not 
the culprit, so I'm at a loss to explain it..  try it gain, and send 
a copy to kelmore@ou.edu, simply to be sure.  I'll probably have more 
questions.  I'm particularly happy to see the review of the Orion II 
in QST this month.  I' a bit disappointed to see that the price has 
gone up (I'm interested in the auto-tune version), but if it's really 
good, it must be worth it.

Cheers,

Kim, N5OP

Kim,

Sorry to take so long getting back to you, I have been out of town.

The worst thing about the Orion is the learning curve. There are a bunch
of different settings available in this rig and it just takes a while to
figure out what works best. However, it does allow you to have 5
different user setting. You can set one for contest operating, SSB, CW
or whatever, then hit a button and all the presets come right up. Pretty
neat.

As a contest rig the biggest complaint I have is what happened to me
during the WPX SSB this year. I was operating 20 meters low power, ( I
must like pain) and could copy Europeans Q5, that were NOT moving my S
meter. Bad thing is that they could not hear me with 100 watts. Live and
learn.

I had some net people ask me to move because I was interfering with
them. I was 3 KCs away running 100 watts. I could not even hear them,
and most of those guys were running power!. Of course most of them also
have their noise blankers wide open, and can't figure out why they hear
other stations 3 KCs away. The receiver is just about bullet proof.

I don't operate much digital stuff, but I have on occasion, and it seems
to work fine. I have run PSK31 and RTTY on occasion.

I run CW at about 400 cycles, no ringing or problems at all.

It has 2 great big VFO knobs, one for each receiver. You can also set
different RIT, passband and notch setting independent of each receiver.
Really neat.

The Orion uses a set of buttons down the right side of the display for
most options, these work really well. After you pick a setting you
change the setting by using a multifunction knob. So one knobs changes
each setting.

The QSK is legendary..................

I was thinking about an Orion II, But after talking to Scott, W4PA at
Ten Tec, he said the only difference is the color display. I could not
justify $1200 difference for a color display.

Check with Ten Tec for a used Orion I, I don't think you will be sorry.

Bruce.......................
 
Glad to see you're back in town but I wouldn't stay to  long. 
 
The arrest warrant is still  valid....................
 
But before you leave agn or get picked up could you  send out our shirts  
??????
 
Speaking of the OKQP I would like to offer the  following changes:
 
1. The rover category be divided into 2  categories:
    A.  Single Operator   (No Driver....Oper performs all duties)
    B. 2 or more operators or  assistants in vehicle........
 
2. Contest Hours be changed to a Sat from 12P to 12A  CST or 
    8A to 12P  CST.
    (This allows significant 80  & 160 operation)
