Wow that is pretty close to home … a car bomb in Cleavland… bet that is quite the talk there…

as for the e at the end of greene… that could be a changed name of course… I bet there is a lot on google about him too…

if they did not have so many bugs there… I might consider living there … the cold eo.ot too hard to deal with if you stay in the house and make short trips… North Dakota also has more wind in the state than nay other state as well… so there is a lot of talk about having windmill farms in the wheat fields and along the roads… North Dakota is very flat …there they farm sections of wheat… pretty amzing how large these tractors are… they are air conditioned and have satellite guidance systems… they plow rows of filed and iervest crops now with satellite guidance systems… sometimes 12 or more tractors combines work sidfe by side to harvest grain… quite a site..these tractors are as high as my house…

Sorry wrong macro, ok Greg thanks for the QSO Tnx for the QSO Greg. Good luck and hope to cu agn.73, W9IKU de WI5C SK

de N6LAL N6LAL … good print A ..

David did not grow up in t cold… he is a sunbird…I know aboit snow blizzards…plugging the car in so it will start… shoveling and falling on ice… that part of North Dakota can have brutal snow storms… young people wjho were living there would have to work out in the oil fields in the 40 below zero temps… it is just very brutal hard work int he bittlicold there… so David will not go tte e elive… he oight do a trtp there if I relocate there… Dave is noi 55 and he is getting too old he says for hard labor./.. so I understand about how tuff it is to live there… you have to be made of hearty stock to live in the serious cold… I know folks from Alaska too… Jamie is from Alaska…we grew up together in Wisconsin…and of course you know about snow living in the snow belt near the great lakes… it is just pretty tuff weather there… I sure do like it here in the area… not much humidity… and so it goes… I can live in North Dakota for not much moneyte.. I could retire there if I do not want to do anything much cept ham radio…cable TV and the internet… it might as well be the south pole at times it gets so brutally cold there at times… soemteBs a month of 30 below zero… the weather is the main reason folks do not like to live there… and little economic opportunity for many… so now it i has become a growth sate with lots of work opportunities… it is just the freezing cold in the winters that can be brutal…

OK… I am off to other projects… it has been i nice visit with you this morning… take care and enjoy your lunch…

W8TTY de N6LAL 73 Al and thanks for this BPSK-31 QSO on 20m, good DX in 2010.

Perfect copy again h
this end Eric. With regards to Linux, I have been using it for years. I
first start d out with redHat 5.0 and continued with RedHat until they decided to conjure up the experimental side with fedora Core. In my Lersonal opinion, I found fedora Core to be a tad too buggy/experimental for my taste. So, my current copy of Linux that I use (i.e. Fedora Core 6)
is quite old. But, if it ain’t broke, I am not going to fetiit… hi hi…

Seems like a lot of folks are using Ubuntu which seems to be more stable and easier to install.
With regards to Elecraft, I have been a customer for a .r NGGGG time…. I used to own a Kenwood TS570 and at that time (~1999) Elecraft came out with the K2/ So, I got the QRP CW only version and was VERY impressed with the RCVR on the K2. Long story short is that I sold the TS570 and ended up adding the 100 watt module and a SSB module for the K2. I bought the SSB module only for HF digital modes. I am not a voice SSB enthusiast… hi hi… Anyhow, after that K2/100, I bought another one…. I continued with 2 K2/100′s for several years. Once the K3 came out, I purposely waited about 2.5 years for Elecraft to sort out any remaining bugs/enhancements that were needed. Once that time passed, I sold my older K2 and some other gear to fund the purchase of this K3.

That’s my story…. hi hi
I actua gy grew up around ham radio while living overseas in the 1960′s and 70′s. The phone system was LOUSY down in Venezuela, so my Dad got his YV ticket while we were there. We used ham radio to stay in touch. You have to remember that internet/email wasn’t available back then….

Hw copy Eric??

Copy is great…. By the way, Eric it is a practical idea to send a “K” after you finish transmitting to
tell the ham at the other end that he is finishing the transmission…
Eric, yes PSK63 is used on this frequency also. The PSK63 signal looks just like PSK631 except it is twice as wide. Hold tight… I will stop transmitting PSK31 momentarily and will then send some PSK63 and then I will be back to PSK31….

Ho
d on…
….. OK eric… I sent a stream of text in r oK63… Did you see what it looked like from trace perspective….??

It gives a pretty good VSWR without a tuner, which is nice.
I am using the PSKmeter to run the amp and keep the IMD low.
The amount you can run without IMD varies from band to band with this amp.
Your IMD looks OK. If you want to give me an idle signal I will give you the number.
Meing a new HAM I have mostly done PSK31. It is a good mode.
A buddy and I want to do MFSK tomorrow morning to Texas.
I got my Technician license 6/31/06.
I passed element 3, 7/9/2006 and Element 4, 1/6/07.I changed my callsign from KC9JTY to W9PA 4/19/07.

I find CW difficult, I learned it the wrong way in Boy Scouts.
The band is too noisey for me to give you an accurate IMD figure.

It is so far down inthe noise I cannot tell if you have any IMD.
Good decode though.
