Re: TESTING AND UPCOMING tdw

Milt did you see me at all? I have the CW also but its not a problem. Called CQ for over half hour, had QSO with W4ABF earlier, then band died. After that called CQ for over 20 minutes and never saw

TESTING AND UPCOMING tdw

Participants, I'm on 80m cq'n at 3.581.5. There's no CW. Some QRN, but it's still pretty much daylight here. Odd sounding QRN, and... No RF in the shack. The inventor of toroidal cores is a

Re: Antenna TESTING AND UPCOMING tdw

Searched for that info but couldn't seem to find it. Thanks Steve ! I recall when I passed Extra without code as at that time I had 13 wpm with the General/Advanced. Recall at the time that some

Re: 80m PSK31 and W1AW

Just for the record, my K3 has a very good notch filter and I know how to use it...and do. I also have a copy of Part 97 and have read and understand it. Sure didn't intend to start a furor, but it

Re: Antenna TESTING AND UPCOMING tdw

More info, since folks started talking about the test elements: From 1951 to 1987, test elements were as follows: Element 1 was the code test. 1A was 5 wpm, 1B was 13 wpm, and 1C was 20 wpm Element 2

Re: Antenna TESTING AND UPCOMING tdw

OK, since I took my Extra soon after my General in 2006, I've probably conflated the two. My code test was for 5 wpm and must have been for the Extra. I know for sure that I had to take it and that

Re: Antenna TESTING AND UPCOMING tdw

Regarding code testing... - All amateur licenses required code tests prior to 1991. Code speed was dependent on license class--5 wpm for Novice and Tech, 13 wpm for General and Advanced, and 20 wpm

Re: Antenna TESTING AND UPCOMING tdw

Tom, Until 2003/2004 you needed to pass Element 1 to get general, if you had an NC Tech licence and passed Element 1, but not element 3, you were called Tech Plus. After July 2003, WRC dropped all

Re: Antenna TESTING AND UPCOMING tdw

I passed element 2 (Technician) and element 3 (General) on 2/11/2002 and was awarded the Technician license. I passed element 1 (5 wpm code) on 3-1-2002 and got the General license. It is all right

Re: Antenna TESTING AND UPCOMING tdw

Really? I took my General in 2004 and still had to pass the code requirement. Perhaps not for Extra. Admittedly I was one of the last Code Generals. 73 Eric KG6MZS

Re: Band plan

Jerry, I appreciate the last comment! I try to be considerate, but often I screw it up, either through ignorance or because the automatic nature of digital is faster than my fingers work. Rest

Band plan

The ARRL Band Plan is only a collection of suggestions and is not carved in stone. Has nothing to do with FCC. It was an attempt to make some order out of chaos. Notch filters work well as do

Re: 80m PSK31 and W1AW

Yes, please refrain from the thread turning into a flaming or arguing thread. As for the w1aw qrm, my rig, and most rigs today have a feature that I frequently use to reduce qrm. It's uniquely known
