Subject: [SJRA-Members] Jamboree On The Air
Message-ID: <3D7F6ABE-5492-4EE9-A12D-E8A34B49C4E6@applegate.org>

Hello SJRA,

Next weekend is the annual Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) where Scouts from around the world get on the air to talk with each other and see what ham radio is about.  There are hundreds of locations around the country where local radio clubs and Scout units get together for the weekend to participate.

Locally we're having a small camp-out in Pine Hill for the weekend and will be on the air as K2TD starting around noon on Saturday through 8 Sunday morning.  Most of our activity will be on HF, but there will also be Scouts on the K2UK 168.865 repeater.  I'd like to ask that if an SJRA member is in their shack next weekend, could they please tune to the K2UK repeater and talk with a Scout.  There will be periods when we're not on the air due to other camp activities, but every year I've done a JOTA, Scouts have been up all night long anxious to get on the radio and talk to someone.

What should you talk about with a Scout?  Well, they probably have never been on the air before and might be a bit shy, so ask them what rank they are, if they are working on any merit badges, etc.  If you were in scouting, definitely talk to them about some of your experiences.  I'm sure there are members of SJRA who obtained Eagle... the younger Scouts really appreciate words of wisdom and encouragement from Eagles!

We would also welcome visitors to the site.

Questions?  I am not on the mailing list, so please email me privately: bob at applegate.org

Subject: [SJRA-Members] SJRA QRP TRANSMITTER PROJECT
Message-ID: <141ece6bddc.-708681698821931388.1889545617066942359@verizon.net>

Hello fellow SJRA members,



Last night I made a presentation of the QRP transmitter, which is a 
follow-on to the receiver project we did a year ago.   


The main points to know are:


*  4-5w output on the 40m CW band.


*  The kit includes a crystal for 7030 Khz  and one for 7040 Khz
and has a VXO to allow you to swing the crystals about 3 Khz. 


*  Class E final for very high efficiency


*  Includes QSK (break-in) with ant. switching relay between
    Rx and Tx.   Also provides Rx muting so you can monitor
   your keying through your own receiver 


*  Package includes  commercial enclosure (by TenTec)


*  Complete price $30 if you get in on this BUILD.   After the
   first BUILD,  additional components will cost more due to not
   getting quantity discounts from parts vendors.


*   This project is a little simpler than the receiver,  and there are
     no difficult construction items to build.


*  You will need to obtain 12V at about 500ma dc to run the rig.  
    It will run fine on batteries if you don't have a DC supply.  Even a 
    12V  1 amp wall-wart could be used.  




IF YOU WANT TO BE ADDED TO THE 20 PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE 1ST BUILD,
SEND ME A REPLY IN THE NEXT WEEK SO I CAN GET THE PARTS ORDERING DONE .


When we have all these radios done, maybe we could have some kind of a CW party
on the air!








Thanks and 73,


Mario Dianora / N2AK
