Just a couple hours S&P WRTC and HQ. WRTC contestants were pretty easy to
work. Great skills (obviously) and decent signals for LP.

Message-ID: <CAOoHsBA9W+5iexjebvJQV_fAqpG-xUFt5P9+wgcWvCSGu2nPEw@mail.gmail.com>

I thought I would offer it up here before it gets listed elsewhere.

Perfect condition FT-1000MP Mark-V.  200 watts, ATU, Fully loaded with all
of the filters, FP-8 Power Supply, SP-8 Speaker, Microham USB-II interface
for Digital and CAT control, AND a hard roller case for shipping, with
exact cut outs for the radio and accessories!  I will also include a Heil
mic/PTT adapter.  I have used it on 60 meters so it has the MARS mod as
well.

It was recently looked over at Electronic Equipment Service (WA4GEG) and
had the LED Backlight conversion kit installed, did the REG unit -9 update,
RF Unit SWG transistor update, applied the RCVR protection lamp update,
updated backup battery and aligned and tested the radio.  Sensitivity is
0.18uV on 40, and 0.19uV on 30, 0.16uV on 20.  Documentation is in hand.

I can provide pictures and a video to show the radio in operation.  I am in
Oak Island NC between Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC.  With the case,
it makes it easy to ship!

I was thinking $1350 plus shipping.  We can work on the shipping part.  I
could deliver in NC, parts or SC and SE VA.  It's going to be a great radio
for someone!  I truly dont think you will find a better example.

Questions?  Ask me!  Thank you!

work on getting it corrected.

Subject: NAQP RTTY is this Saturday
Message-ID: <CAJ_MLyX9K5jeQTxH9ZYVsH3HBvhLQshQJyr-SJyCfSWPFnruFw@mail.gmail.com>

You've heard it before.  You'll hear it again.  The NAQP RTTY is this
Saturday.  This is one of our 2023-24 5M contests.  In fact, you will get
DOUBLE 5M points in this one.

It's no secret that PVRC is very competitive in the NAQP contests.  We need
every score, every QSO, every point from every member who can get on
the air for this contest.

Please remember that your log must be submitted within five days.  But
that's not the most important metric.

For the intra-club NAQP competition, we gather the scores from the on-line
scoreboard,  That scoreboard closes down five (5) MINUTES after the contest
ends.  So, here's some tricks and tips to make sure your complete score
gets counted.

In your setup for on-line score reporting you can set the
reporting periodicity.   The default is 5 minutes.  So, when you finish
your time in the contest, you may shut down your logger before your
complete score gets entered.  Wait five minutes before shutting down.  That
will ensure your final QSO gets uploaded.  If you are really paranoid,
check the on-line scoreboard to check to see that all your QSOs are there
before shutting down.

I set my reporting interval to 2 minutes just for safety's sake.

There have been any number of emails on this reflector giving the
procedures for setting up your scoreboard submissions.  If anyone needs
help getting set up, drop me a note and I'll try to help.

One last tip.  So, I know that every one of us sets up our station before
the contest starts to make sure you are all ready when the opening bell
rings.  After you've done that, leave your logger on.   Please remember to
check your setup for the scoreboard as well.  Look at the scoreboard.  Do
you see your call listed?  Is it in the correct class?  Power level?  Then
enter a dummy QSO.  Within 5 minutes it should show up on the scoreboard.
If not, double check your settings.  Then delete the dummy QSO from your
log.

Good luck Saturday.

Hi all,

At the last PVRC meeting a H-bay antenna for 6m was mentioned. I am not
having any luck searching for that type of antenna. Did I misspelled the
antenna?

Soapbox.  About 3 1/2 hours.  Frustrating at times.  Was running on 15M.
Very low rate for the contest.  Very good DX rate with JAs and Eastern EU
callers.  Just couldn't NOT answer them.  I really like RTTY but there's
very little activity except for contests,

Ah, the dog days of summer.  All about heat, humidity, and trying to stay
cool.  Not really.  These dog days are the busy start of the 2023-2024
contest season.  They include two of the six annual NAQP contests, the
World wide Digi contest and the WAE CW contest. So, it's time to check out
your stations, tighten those coax connectors, dust off your microphones,
and change the batteries in your wireless keyboards, mice, and powered
headphones.  Get ready to CONTEST!  And, BTW, it's time to attend the
PVRC-NC 3 August 2023 Chapter meeting.

PVRC-NC invites you to our 3 August 2023 Chapter meeting.

Does anyone have a valid email address for W4KAZ?  I got Delivery Status
Notification (Failure) responses from his arrl.net and nc.rr.com addresses.

Trying to determine if he is doing IOTA next weekend.

 Comments: Well?I finally did it!  After several years of other commitments
and activities that always fell on this weekend, I was able to parlay
commitments and juggle activities to allow a 3-day visit to the Atlantic
Beach, NC site.

With one of the W4MYA Run?em stickers in front of me, I kept S&Ping to a
minimum, mostly just to judge how the band conditions were playing-out.
Things started slow Saturday morning with low run rates on 20.  Moved up to
15 when things got better there.  Never heard anything on 10, except for
working fellow IOTA station W4KAZ after moving from 15.  Then we quickly
tried 20 & 40 successfully.   20 finally opened to Europe Saturday
afternoon and I had some good runs until 2149 when the band seemed to go
dead.  I took that opportunity to take the dog out for a quick walk, upon
which I discovered why 20 and 15 were dead?the BuddiHex had experienced a
significant wind-damage event.  There had been a strong thunderstorm pass
through mid-morning followed by a heavy rain downpour.  After that cleared
away, I visually checked everything and did not see any problems. However,
we were left with several hours of moderate to strong winds.  Upon
inspection after lowering the BuddiHex, I found that the vertical feed
assembly pole had come out of the lower central hub assembly, which caused
a broken spreader arm.  So I completed the contest with the 20 & 40M endfed
halfwave verticals.

Being the first time in this contest, I was pleased with the final results.
I am looking forward to next year?s event.

Equipment: Elecraft K3+/100 with Heil HC4 mic element

Antennas: Buddipole BuddiHex at 30 ft; PAR EF-20H vertical with base at 9
ft, PAR EF-40 vertical on 66 ft carbon mast.

73,

Henry ? K4TMC
