K0SS CW to RTTY QSO
Locked
 
|
Now that was cool!!
I just heard Tom, K0SS working K6SAD on 20 meter RTTY. Tom was using his K3 and was sending CW which was being translated into RTTY. The only reason I know this is because he mentioned it in his QSO. I thought he was using a keyboard! Very impressive first hand demonstration of the CW to RTTY translator built into the K3. In addition, Tom's signal was 10 over S9 and the RTTY signal was clean and perfect copy (using MixW 2.18). Great demonstration of the K3 CW to RTTY capability. Darn, I can't wait to get my hands on my K3!

Darn, I can't >wait to get my hands on my K3! Thanks for the reception report!!! I was running the K3 @ 100W barefoot into a Bencher SkyHawk tribander @ 73 feet, pointed due west. I had perfect copy on K6SAD as well... great sigs from him, even though there was some QSB toward the end of our QSO. That was my 2nd (I think) CW>RTTY QSO... first one was pretty much a disaster since I had the RTTY sidetone (which should have been in the background) cranked up WAY too high and it was masking my CW monitor tone, so I couldn't hear myself send and I had to do all of my sending by trying to guesstimate the amount of time required (at X-WPM) required to send each individual character... heheh! I fixed that newbie's error real quick and things got off to a MUCH BETTER second start... heheh! I still have to remember that when I make a sending error, sending a string of DITS to signify an error doesn't translate to anything in RTTY... heheh! Some habits are difficult to break. But it sure IS FUN working RTTY stations... esp. when I tell them I'm sending CW to them... heheh! 73, Tom N0SS (and if I send K0SS when I was working K6SAD, I'm gonna have to fix my fist) <G> _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I can't wait to learn Morse!
I'll have the K3 quite a time before I have reasonable Morse - but I'm working on it - am suffering the same problems Elecraft are - my Morse delivery is delayed by.... To many other things going on in my life! HiHi On 22/9/07 22:50, "W6NEK" <[hidden email]> sent: > I just heard Tom, K0SS working K6SAD on 20 meter RTTY.

You spend too much time sending messages on the Elecraft reflector, David. While waiting for your K3, why not build yourself a simple crystal controlled rig for 40 metres? You'll be amazed at what you can work on very low power CW. 73 -- David G4DMP Leeds, England, UK ------ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Visit my website, David. There is a program there called MorseGen
which will help you. I used it to generate MP3 practise files that I copied to a cheap Chinese MP3 player that I carry around in my pocket so I can practise receiving whenever I get a spare moment. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???

WOW.. WOW.. This is an EXCELLENT (and fun) CW practice program.
By FAR the best of any that I have ever dabbled with! I had to disable my Norton internet security temporarily in order to download it properly but once I finally got it installed I was blown away with how amazingly excellent this little program is. This free program is an outstanding service to all of amateur radio.. Huge congrats to Julian! I am probably behind the times in as much that this is the first I have heard of MorseGen.. Heck it was just a month ago when I discovered Flickr.com (another majorly huge wow) Ken Lotts aa7jc -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]]On Behalf Of Julian G4ILO Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2007 9:01 AM To: elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K0SS CW to RTTY QSO Visit my website, David.
