I have for sale a Tristao CZ-454 crank up tilt over tower for sale.? Extended height is 54'. It is in excellent condition. It comes with the tilt base plate however it does not have the tilt fixture. This is the tower that Al W7XA had at his QTH in Mesa.I have copies of all the paperwork from when Al had it permitted in Mesa.
Al is asking $1200. It is located at my QTH in Casa Grande. ?73 NR6M

I'm building a little project that has a chassis-mounted "D" connector.  I 
ordered some parts but mistakenly ordered jack screws instead of jack screw nuts 
like these:

Anyone have a couple that I can have?  Another order will cost me another $10 on 
a project that was supposed to be $20 total and another week's delay.

I put together from an e-Bay kit
a Crystal Tester that has a built-in
Frequency Counter.

I want to add a couple of Crystal
Sockets (that were not included).

Anyone have in their Junque Boxe
a socket for the HC-6/U Crystal and
one for the FT-243 Crystal ?
Ceramic types best, but I'll take any
thing.

They are in a baggie in the car.  If I forget to bring them in remind me.

Turns out I had the screws I needed, I just needed prompting from another member 
to get me to look at Elecraft spare parts on hand.

I now need to finish the special cable to get my TAPR 1PPS kit operational.

Just happen to have two out in the shed ..

Just kidding, but I do have an old HP3801A
sitting in a box in the garage. Also a couple
of TrueTime XL-AK's on the shelf.

I use surplus Thunderbolts for my general
use. I also have a HB one I built from the
K1JEZ design.

Almost as many GPS clocks as TEK scopes !!

See you next Thursday,

Thanks again,

All:

This Thursday is the June meeting of the SADXA. Don, our Vice President, 
K7NN, will be presenting the "Secrets of the 60 Meter Band" for our program.

Ron Cade, W6ZQ, will attend the meeting and he will give a short summary 
of what he saw at the Dayton Hamfest this year.

Also, Ron will come early, perhaps around 4:30 to check cards if anyone 
has some to be checked. Bring your cards and the paperwork ready to go 
with them. You wont get a better chance to get your cards checked than this.

See you there.

Jerry

Gene K5GS kindly listened to my Ham IV, comparing it to one he has. Unquestionably, something sounded different. He found a solution. BTW, he has a beautiful station, location and tower. We are fortunate to have a Navy vet and DXpeditioner as our new neighbor in Tucson.

Thanks all for your help!

Taking the kx2 to norway for an expedition to  shetland is, orkney
is, faroe is, and iceland....  22nd to JUL 4

will have whips for portable, and wires and a kxpa100 for the main mast...
18mhz will probably where most success as previous traveling ham
advised there is s7 'boat' noise on 20 /40, I hope to find a more
optimum antenna placement,.

I'll be that weak signal on 18mHz. ' vacation operating style'

Subject: [SADXA] Digital dial for boatanchors
Message-ID: <eea54706-9f2c-540f-9bc4-cf440e8e1959@mindspring.com>

I'm re-configuring my station and will be selling my DFD103 digital 
dial, which is made by Almost All Digital Electronics in Florida.  I 
thought I'd give you guys the first chance at it before I list it on 
eham, QTH.com, and QRZ.com.  This is the unit that's pre-programmed to 
display the correct dial frequency for dozens of Collins, Drake, 
Hallicrafters, Hammerlund, Heathkit, National, Swan, Kenwood, Yaesu, and 
TenTec radios, by taking a sample of the radio's VFO output.  It will 
work with other brands as well.

This display is a small, grey box that blends in well visually with the 
Collins and Hallicrafters radios that I've used it with in the past.  
It's in mint condition with no dings, scratches, or marks.  Contact me 
if you're interested.

73, Jim  W9FI

Message-ID: <d9308f35-b85d-eeaf-d2d2-28061f2374d0@mindspring.com>

YI3WHR is active right now on 20 meter JT65.  He's doing an S&P 
operation but can be gotten at the end of one of his QSOs.  I got him by 
keeping his transmit frequency on my receiver and offsetting my transmit 
frequency by about 175 CPS.  One call got him.  He's relatively strong, 
at a -15 level.

He's just confirmed the QSO on eQSL.  I'm hoping that his LotW QSL won't 
be too far behind.

Does anyone have a Collins 75A-2
Receiver that has not been "modified" ?
I picked up one that has been heavily
modified. Added was a Product Detector
for SSB. In doing so, the Noise Limiter
no longer works on AM. It was also
"Narrow Banded", which I reversed.

I need to look at a couple of areas of the
receiver before they were modified.
I want to use it in my AM station.

Tnx es 73, Dick, W1KSZ

Our Sun's 11-Year Magnetic Cycle Destined to Disappear

The Sun's 11-year magnetic cycle appears to be ending, but that won't 
happen anytime soon. In a paper <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.09668.pdf> 
submitted on May 26 to the journal /Solar Physics/, two solar scientists 
are reinterpreting earlier evidence to hypothesize that the Sun's 
rotation rate and magnetic field are in a transitional phase that could 
lead to lengthening solar cycles, with the cycle ultimately disappearing 
altogether between 800 million and 2.4 billion years from now. Travis S. 
Metcalfe and Jennifer van Saders propose the scenario in their paper 
"Magnetic Evolution and the Disappearance of Sun-like Activity Cycles."

"After decades of effort, the solar activity cycle is exceptionally well 
characterized, but it remains poorly understood," the authors say in the 
paper's abstract. "Pioneering work at the Mount Wilson Observatory 
demonstrated that other Sun-like stars also show regular activity cycles 
and suggested two possible relationships between the rotation rate and 
the length of the cycle. Neither of these relationships correctly 
describe the properties of the Sun, a peculiarity that demands explanation."

The authors cite stellar evidence for the shutdown of "magnetic braking" 
in stars similar to our Sun. "The new picture of rotational and magnetic 
evolution provides a framework for understanding some observational 
features of stellar activity cycles that have until now been 
mysterious," they said.

*Solar researcher Travis Metcalfe.*

Metcalfe explained their observations through a recent Forbes magazine 
article 
<http://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2017/05/27/the-suns-magnetic-dynamo-is-weakening/#3dcdc2df4fee>. 
"Our previous discoveries identified an unexpected transition in the 
rotation and magnetism of middle-aged stars," Metcalfe is quoted in the 
article, "The Sun's Magnetic Dynamo Is Weakening" by Bruce Dorminey. "We 
now have direct evidence that the stellar dynamo -- the mechanism inside 
stars that sustains their magnetic fields -- actually shuts down during 
this transition."

In their paper, the authors said that future observations with the Las 
Cumbres Observatory global telescope network "promise to probe the onset 
and duration of the magnetic transition that drives the evolution and 
eventual disappearance of Sun-like activity cycles."

*Jennifer van Saders at a Carnegie Observatories seminar earlier this year.*

A 2016 paper Travis co-authored -- "Stellar Evidence that the Solar 
Dynamo May Be in Transition," published in /The Astrophysical Journal 
Letters/, concluded, "The Sun still exhibits a dipole component to its 
global field, particularly near magnetic minimum, but the solar analogs 
also suggest a gradual concentration of the field into smaller spatial 
scales, leading to weakened magnetic braking,"

Metcalfe is listed on the paper as being associated with the Space 
Science Institute and the White Dwarf Research Corp, both in Boulder, 
Colorado. Van Saders is listed as being associated with the 
Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Pasadena, 
California, and the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton 
University in New Jersey.
