Field Day

[Indy-3]

de W5YA /qrp, High Desert Wireless QRP Association

Our best wishes for a great time and many QSO's to all who will be enjoying field day this weekend.

we thank elecraft for providing the best field day radio we have ever used (and we have used a few over the past fifty years ;-)

Pardner Steve and I will deploy K2's for our fifth B category field day together.  Our location is on a ridge that is about 9,000 feet altitude and stands about 500 feet above surrounding terrain.  If Murphy over takes us, we will sip tequilla and fly fish for trout!  Maybe we'll do that anyway

GL and hope to work you!

73,

Fred - kt5x, and Steve - WD9FJL
K2's # 700 & 1497

I'll be pounding brass with my K2/100 and KAT100 and signing K9OR with the
North Shore Radio Club (Chicago) 3A effort in a village park at about 650 ft
AMSL.

K7EAR, the Eastern Arizona Amateur Radio Society, Inc. will be on the air as
a 3A solar powered QRP entry with four K-2's.  The location will be at
nearly 9,000' AMSL in the Pinaleno Mtns. of southeast AZ  --- IF --- the
USFS doesn't shut the mountain down due to three dry lightning caused fires
that showed up yesterday.

K7EAR + GOTA came out as #9 overall last year and has it's sights on a top 5
finish this year.

Photos of last year's operation are viewable at www.eaars.com .  Good luck
to all FD participants.

[John, KI6WX]

KI6WX will be running Field Day with a K2 at about 9,000' in the Ancient
Bristlecone Pine Forest on White Mountain Peak near the CA-NV border.  I'll
be operating 1B primarily on PSK31 and CW.

Any guidance appreciated.

I am finishing up the DSP and CW keying mods to two k2's for Field Day
operation.  Yep, I am somewhat of a procrastinator.

Anyway, one works very well.  The other comes up with the info 080 message.
All process of elemination efforts have been made by substituting boards
back and forth between both radios, including the new Firmware chips.

Result.  The problem in somewhere on the control board.  Everything else has
been eliminated.  Both mods call for changes to the control board, more for
the CW keying mod than the addition of the DSP modules.

I have done the requisite visual checks, all the resistance checks, and "in
operation" voltage checks as far as possible in the vicinity of the modified
areas and components.  I do not find any differences, anywhere.

Anyone out there have suggestions for specific things to check?  This one
has me stumped.  But then again, I may not be seeing the forest for the
tree.  So, any ideas from the worldwide brain trust?

Milt, N5IA
