Re: Guilty
Steve W3HF
I've done some similar things like that too. After the first time, I thought through the problem and came up with some solutions. - I can always hit the Tx/Rx button on the software and stop the transmission mid-sentence. It's drastic, but it works. - I can put my cursor on the Tx window at the end of the text, and then lean on the backspace key. If the letters haven't been sent, they're deleted before sending. Just don't keep doing that into text that HAS been sent, or your software will actually transmit the ASCII code for "backspace", and letters will disappear from the other station's display. - But I eventually figured out the best approach, at least for me. Digipan has a command "Clear Tx" which completely clears the transmit buffer. I just programmed one of the macro buttons with that command. Whenever I do something that I want to avoid transmitting, a quick tap/click of that function key eliminates all untransmitted text. I haven't checked on other software, but I'd expect most of them to have something similar. Steve W3HF

Re: Rotor
Not going to work since neighbors put up fence. Not enough room to squeeze through now. The only thing that might work is an outdoor scissors lift which is much narrower than a truck and has big off road tires. Ground is uneven and tipping is possible. Tower is in back yard. Thanks for suggestions, but I have a climber who doesn't work for free, but cheaper than anything else. Jerry N9AVY

So I am satisfied with 15m this AM. I will admit the PSK contacts were a bit slimmer pickings though. The majority (all but 4) of my contacts came via JT mode. Could have had more PSK contacts in the book but they would all have been dupes. Never saw the Algerian call though – go figure.

25 more years for me. I am 2500 miles away from my radio ... but on the plus side I am spending quality time with 10,000 lawyers under one roof.

Re: Rotor

That should be "there's a problem for every solution" GL with your new rotor. Paul NU4C "Jerry n9avy@... [070]" <070@...> wrote: A couple months ago my rotor suffered the loss of the direction indicator potentiometer; this is one of the weakest links in most CDR rotors. It happened just after my shelf collapsed on cabinet where radio gear is housed. Had hooked up the wires in wrong order - not paying attention. Well, I have a new rotor ready to go up, but I don't climb any longer. Out of frustration in not knowing where antenna was pointed , I "Jerry-rigged" a small B&W CCTV camera on tower where I didn't have to climb. Now I can see on monitor which way antenna is pointed within the 30 degree beam pattern and also watch it bounce around in the wind ! But rain , snow and darkness cause other problems, hi ! There's always a solution to a problem... :-) Jerry N9AVY

Some VE station just sent the full FS call 6 times ... sheesh... that's overkill Looks like FS station went QRT because he said something about cleaning up. Jerry From: "drbyrne@...

Suspect he's part of the crew with W9SW who's been operating mostly CW from St. Barts. For years I've been trying to convince FS/K9EL to operate PSK31 when he vacations on St. Barts, but digital doesn't exist for him. Best I ever got from him was convincing him to operate his IL remote from Canada so I could hear him work himself. :-) Jerry N9AVY
