Subject: [SJDXA] We had a K3 go down during the Ph Contest
Message-ID: <AANLkTik4DRgytAZ2FdXYgYzVo1TNEU9+yqrRh3Nuqse6@mail.gmail.com>

To the SJDXA,
At the start of the Phone CQ contest this past weekend, we had a problem
with a K3 owned by Jeff, KB2M. Jeff had me call Dale at Elecraft today
because I have the test equipment to trouble shoot the rig.
Dale had me look at a resistor on the bottom of the main board, the resistor
had let the smoke out. The cause was a shorted IF amp transistor, this
happens when the RX gets high RF on the RX antenna. There is a mod to
monitor the amps current and turn on the Attenuator during high levels of
RF, KB2M rig did not have the mod.
Dale of Elecraft is sending the parts and the mod. If there is a charge for
the parts, I will pay it on my Credit Card and then ask the club to
rein-burst me.
I will do the mod and change the bad parts, of course at no charge to the
club. But Jeff owns me:).
73,
de Bob, W2ARP
 PS we own Dale at Elecraft a big Thank You for the great service that he is
giving us.

 Thanks Bob. I  picked up the K3  on the way home from work yesterday and
worked with Dale on the phone after I got home going through the config
file, internal wiring, etc, after I had a problem performing the TX
calibration test. He then asked me if I  had a scope ,and a signal source to
continue. I told him , yes but I was darned if I knew where my scope and XG2
were, there is a big pile of 30 or so boxes of my hobby stuff in the
basement and main attic of my new house.  At that point I called Bob and he
graciously agreed to continue diagnosing the problem.  I dropped the K3 back
off at his place after work and by the time I arrived at the GF?s in Reo
Grande the problem was found!

  As Bob is doing the work for the club Pro Bono, I will also, paying for
any parts needed, so the repair will cost the club nothing.  I?m now feeling
much better, I missed work all last week, and the weekend contest, but now
back in business.

http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/K3%20rx%20protection%20mod,%20rev%20B.pdf

This was on radios from 2009 vintage.

Mine has this mod. I was unaware that it was a mod. I thought they all had
this feature from the beginning. 

 

Not sure which input this occurred on. Probably the RX IN which was hooked
to the beverages? It had a 196 RF limiter installed. Perhaps we need more
than that for future reference. The MKV had no problem in the slave
position. The other radios also had no problems including my K3. 

Looks like this is an important mod for the K3.  (CW team take note)

Message-ID: <007f01cbd953$05858320$10908960$@net>

After hearing from Bob (ARP), the initial problem with Jeff's K3 was that
the radio would not transmit. The "IF" problem that was found would also
prevent the radio from transmitting. As such, it is entirely possible that
the radio had this problem before we got it, or perhaps when we first turned
it on, well before any amplifiers were even turned on. In any event, it
turned out to be a relatively easy fix and TNX to Jeff for his kindness, and
to Bob (ARP) for doing the repair AND mod for Jeff.

All's well that ends well.

Hello DXers:

A few items of interest along with the Contest List...

PJ NEWS:

Mar 3, 2011: DXCC New Year 2011 -- Bill Moore popped the cork on the
champagne Today and we spent 3 minutes celebrating the completion of 2010's
DXCC Processing and started-in on 2011.  
The biggest changes include the deletions of the Netherlands Antilles
entities and the addition of the four new entities (PJ2, PJ4, PJ5/6, and
PJ7) to the system.  It will take some time for all the changes to appear
throughout the system.  Already you might notice that your current entity
totals have dropped because of the deletions.  If you had both of the PJs
confirmed on 10 bands, you will see your entity total drop by 20.
The PJ operations have already started obtaining their certificates and will
be Entering their logs into LoTW shortly -- some may make it into the system
by 00Z 4 March.

The following was received today:

PJ2/K8ND, Jeff:  After requesting my new LoTW certificate for PJ2/K8ND just
before midnight, I received my requested new LoTW certificate just before 9
AM today, and uploaded my 4126 post 10-10-10 PJ2/K8ND QSOS by 9:30 AM. 
The LoTW computers processed my uploads just before 11 AM, and I had
immediate confirmation matches for 1755 QSOs (42.5%)!

PJ2T, from Scott, N9AG (QSL Manager) earlier this week:  As a follow up, I
have just mailed the last of the 6000 pre-December PJ2T QSLs.  I'm starting
on the newer ones now.

PJ6A, from Bill, N4NX (QSL Manager):  Wanted to make you aware that ALL of
the PJ6A logs were successfully uploaded to LoTW last night.  I am already
receiving emails of confirmation.  

PJ7E, from Craig, K9CT & Joe, W8GEX (co-leaders):  We are doing very well
getting out QSLs but still have about 5 mailing trays to confirm yet. Tom,
N4XP, our QSL manager, expects to complete those in the next three weeks.
The OQSL will be shut down on March 4th. The OQSL service has been a huge
success with certificates issued with the QSLs. All of the OQSLs received at
this time have been mailed. ARRL has announced that they will soon be
issuing the LOTW certificates to the new PJs. We are ready to upload the
logs  at that time. The PJ7E team thanks everyone for their QSO's. 
 
Attached to this email is the list of Announced Operations for the ARRL SSB
contest this weekend.

Have fun..

73,
Carl, N4AA

Subject: [SJDXA] DX conditions
Message-ID: <2E1BC2273A7D4138A280FA335A95D9D0@ADPC>

I know not all of you are contesters but all do enjoy working DX.  This past weekend during the ARRL DX SSB contest we had some of the best conditions since 2004.  Many of us were actually able to run many Europeans on 10 meters on Sunday.  The SFI yesterday was 153 which is a high for this cycle and it?s predicted to be between 140 to 150 the next several days into the weekend.  I can tell you 10 meters opening up as it did made the contest much more fun, most of us on the East Coast had many more Q?s on 15 meters than 20 meters which is always a plus.  So turn on those radio?s, you just might catch a some JA?s, BY?s, VK?s or ZL?s on 10 meters late afternoon or early evening.

Please review this list.

If you remember any of these calls, and you have any input for us, please
drop me an email.

I will go through these calls carefully. I already recognize quite a few as
being good. Will update you all in a few days.

I also have the full log in a text format WITH the received State/Province.
This could help with research as well. Will gladly share it.

 

(From Marty) Here is a list of callsigns that are not in the Master.dta
file,  They might be good, or they could be busts... the original list
started out at 157, I found some calls by searching DXSummit for callouts
during the past two 160 contests.  Any suggested corrections?  I have not
checked calls in QRZ yet.

Subject: [SJDXA] WPX Certificates and scores
Message-ID: <00a001cbe01b$bc84cdf0$358e69d0$@net>

SJDXA members,

I just discovered a very cool and unique thing that CQWPX is starting. You
can go to the official CQWPX site

http://www.cqwpx.com/

and select the RESULTS tab.

 

You can search for your entry and PRINT your own certificate if you want! I
see W2ARP actually gets a certificate for a 36 point entry in 2010! J

 

Also, they have started to make all logs PUBLIC. I have mixed feelings about
that. It's nice to see what the competition is doing. But it also could be a
way to check for QSO's made with that station before sending a QSL.. or to
find the correct time that you made a QSO. From a contester's viewpoint, it
is good. It is a way to keep folks honest, and to be able to use other's
info to improve your own operation. From a DXer's standpoint, well I'm not
sure. The ARRL does not make any LoTW logs "open" for obvious reasons. 

 

Anyway, take a look and check it out. Apparently they will be doing this for
the CQWW as well, although no mention about other CQ sponsored contests
including the 160 ones.

 

See ya' in the Pileups!

73!

Message-ID: <100ED4E1D680404C8D6C8D6C9B86C6BD@ADPC>

By Antonio Gonzalez EA5RM

After a long way, a lot of hard work and several successful meetings with
Southern Sudan Government officials of various Ministries, just today, the
first amateur radio license has been issued by the new government.

Southern Sudan Government officials now understand amateur radio and they
are ready to change the actual rules and regulations as soon as possible,
looking to simplify the process of obtaining a license, so that everyone can
enjoy amateur radio in this new country.

We have the cooperation of both Ministries to update our license if there is
a new prefix that will be assigned by ITU and we'll be in permanent contact
with the proper department helping in the development of amateur radio in
Southern Sudan.

Our Dxpedition will start on July 9th from Juba so please stay tuned.

....73  Tony K2SG

>From Neville G3NUG, Team Leader T32C DXpedition to Kiritimati

 

 

Dear Bob, Bob, Arnie and Bob,

I hope I have addressed this note to the current members of your club?s
Board or Committee. If not please forward this email to the appropriate
person(s).

 

I am writing to you about the forthcoming DXpedition to Kiritimati
(Christmas Island) in Eastern Kiribati being organised by the Five Star
DXers Association. This will take place in September to October 2011 with
the callsign T32C. See our web pages for further details.  www.t32c.com

 

The attached brochure gives a great deal of information about our
forthcoming operation and we would be grateful if you could forward this to
your club members and to friends. 

 

We would like to contact as many of your members as possible. On our part we
are taking a huge number of antennas (both for transmitting and receiving)
and excellent radios (16 Yaesu FT-5000 transceivers and 16 VL-1000 linears)
so your members should be able to hear us. 

 

We will be writing articles nearer the time describing wire antennas with
which everyone should be able to make a contact. Best times and bands to
make QSOs will be shown on our web pages and these will be updated regularly
based on actual data.

 

Please ask your club members without good antennas to be patient. We are on
Kiritimati for a long period including four full weekends. Most people
should be able to get through in the final two weeks of the operation
particularly on weekdays. 

 

We believe that some members of European clubs, particularly those who are
recently licensed or are returning to the hobby, may never have made a
contact with the Pacific. This is a great opportunity to do this.

 

We?d like to encourage clubs to run ?fun? competitions such as:

*	First member to work T32C
*	Member working the most band-slots (30 slots are available)
*	First RTTY QSO etc.

 

We want to work as many unique callsigns as possible. The target is 40,000
uniques, this is tough but achievable and we have done it before.  Note
that, from our past experience, on average every fourth QSO is a unique. We
also have a target to make 150,000 QSOs.

 

We will be making a huge effort on LF and on the edge bands. We will have
eight Beverages as well as many verticals (see the brochure). Altogether
there will be 40 operators at T32C; 30 operators will be on site every day
of the operation.

 

In the case of European clubs we intend to focus on every propagation
opening. Generally these will be limited to a maximum of four hours per band
each day. We will also make similar efforts to contact the Eastern United
States.

 

In the case of UK clubs we want to contact between 1,000 ? 2,000 unique
callsigns. We have done this before. This is a tremendous challenge as many
amateurs in the UK have limited space or cannot get planning permission to
install Yagis or similar antennas. We would appreciate the support of clubs
by encouraging their members to get on the air.

 

We are actively seeking sponsorship. With a project of this magnitude, the
huge amount of equipment, antennas and other ancillary gear necessary needs
to get to the island in a container weighing around nine tonnes. We are
seeking sponsorship from DX clubs, societies and individuals. All members of
the DXpedition are paying in the order of ?3,500 (GBP) to ?4,800 (GBP) each,
(US$5,250 to US$7,200) to cover their own travel expenses, their
accommodation and food on the island. This includes a contribution to the
logistics costs of ?500 (GBP) or US$750 per head. Sponsorship monies will be
used to fund the balance of the costs of equipment including two 10 KVA
generators, antennas, coaxial cable, computers and ancillary equipment,
together with the cost of shipping and insurance from Europe to Christmas
Island and back, and Customs and other legal paperwork.

 

Clubs and individuals can help the DXpedition by making donations through
the sponsorship page on our website. All sponsors will be shown on the
website and on QSL cards (subject to certain limits); links will be shown to
the web sites of sponsoring clubs.

 

Much of the data normally requested by sponsoring clubs is set out in our
brochure. There is some additional information below:

I snagged BX5AA (Taiwan) On 10 meters last night @ 2338Z.

What's remarkable is that the beam heading with greatest signal 
was 22 deg!!  I heard him (55 to 58) from 180 to 10 deg.  Short 
path from Tuckerton is 344 (he was hardly audible) and long path 164 deg
(audible but didn't hear me).   I turned the beam toward north and when his signal 
peaked around 22 deg, I called him.  Got him in 3 calls, barefoot.

The moral:  If you're looking for the 9N7, VU4, EP4, et al on the higher bands and don't hear them even when they're on the cluster, think outside the box....try other compass directions.   If you hear them well, you should get them in the log.

How about a "halo" path or "boomerang"..........sorry about that.

I just worked VU4PB on 12 meters short path (more east) at about 1830
UTC!!!!!!!! I also worked VR2 LP today. These are conditions that I never
heard before! VU4 local time must be around 1am???!!! And, yes, the path is
skewed.

Message-ID: <B0A9270EB0DF4786B7F1291CF7DE0216@ADPC>

I have a Force 12 80 meter Sigma Vertical Dipole For Sale.  It is approximately 35? tall and has two horizontal elements, one at the top and one near the bottom.  If your interested in a small footprint 80 meter antenna that does not use or require radials and has a low SWR in both the SSB and CW portions of 75/80 meters, you might be interested in this excellent performing antenna.  I have used it for several years both DXing and Contesting and it performs very well.  It has not been modified in any manner and is guaranteed to work at your QTH. One set of guy ropes are required and two sets are optional.  If you are interested please check the Force 12 web site for further information or send me an email.   http://www.texasantennas.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=93&Itemid=55    The antenna is painted camouflage to blend in with the trees in my neighborhood but can easily be changed to your favorite color. The original manual, feed point match box, 2kw balun and the original manual are all included. The current price for this antenna is listed at $999. I am asking $250. Pickup only.  Questions welcomed.

Fyi

 

>From Prasad VU2PTT 

*Press Release 7 March 30 2011*

 

With just a few hours left in the operation, two more operators have left
for the mainland this morning as originally planned as they had to get back
to their work places.

 

This now leaves just six operators and we are working with three stations
and will have to start dismantling from tomorrow as the team returns on the
2nd April.

 

As earlier reported we have had several instances of pirate operations which
has spoilt the fun for numerous DXers- a real pity and one is not sure what
joy it brings to those " radio amateurs" who indulge in such activity.

 

The team will go *QRT at 1829 HRS on 31st March 2011*

 

A further release will be issued after we conclude this operation
