K6XX CW Indicator for K2, K1 & KX1

Hello,

Just wanted to let the K2, K1 & KX1 users know that I have some K6XX CW
Indicator kits in stock. Sales have dropped off to 2 or 3 kits a year. When
my supplies run out I will stop selling the kits.

Please check wb3aal at com for information.

FYI - This is a SMD kit, not a thru hole device.

Good Evening,

Another parcel of cloud pushes its way through a gap in the nearby
mountains. It slides, tumbles its way down to a low area. Gradually this
space fills with low layer of mist. As it fills the fog becomes more dense.
I start seeing waves as an aliquot of cloud hits the ‘lake’ forming in the
valley. The gap is about two miles away; the wave caused by the tumbling
cloud meeting the surface takes about three minutes to get to my location.
It is still clear and sunny up here but that is changing. A misty layer is
forming around me. When the wave from the last dollop of cold cloud hits my
side of the valley the ‘breakers’ get to near my feet. Six minutes per sine
wave works out to ~0.0028 Hz. There and back again.

The sun is currently blank though the solar wind is still causing
aurora. We just missed a CME and are due for another chance on Monday. So
we will use the ions given us and see how far that takes us.

Please join us tomorrow on:

14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)
7045 kHz at 0100z Monday (5 PM PST Sunday)

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS

Yet another scam

As some of you may know, I am looking for a K2.

I have received an email from a [hidden email] and he sent me a nice grouping of pictures, seemed legit.
But after some “blowing up on the pictures” of the paperwork, I noticed he stated the SN is 5526 (in the email text), but the pictures seemed to show 7563.

I just received a very nice email from w9per.bob@ that this radio is not his.

Just an FYI, seemed very legit until the pictures were blown up.

Re: Yet another scam

Very first thing to do is look up the call on QRZ.COM.
IF there is no email address listed, consider that a yuge RED FLAG, since the perps look for people who do NOT list their email on QRZ.
Then they apply for a new email with Joe.Blow.W1XXX@ freebie email .com, such as Hotmail, Gmail etc.

They then open a Pay-Pal account using the fraudulent email address and accept payment until thing get a little warm, then they go back to QRZ.COM for a new sucker.

Ryle-of-thumb.....Always list your email address on QRZ. It's no more secure than your first name, so don't worry if someone knows.

Also, always look up the seller's call and verify that their listed email address IS in fact the one you're using for a pay--pal account to send money.

And never, ever, ever. Neverever - use PayPal "Friends and Family" to
tender payment. You lose all buyer protection by doing that.

Re: Yet another scam

I will say it here as we are all friends.
When buying a radio, I ask for the radio to be tuned to a specific frequency
That in itself eliminates some of the problems.

Charles,
I have one problem with a statement here. QRZ.com is NOT an official
callbook. Only those that sign up or others who have signed up for someone
else are listed. Also, emails change and may not be updated. Basing
someone's credibility on QRZ.com is not a good thing.

Re: Yet another scam

In reply to this post by Frank Krozel

A more reliable check is the official FCC registry for
a license. Although it does not show an email address,
it does show the correct address.

Find them at:

http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp

Or - just go to FCC.com and search it out.

Re: Yet another scam

I think QRZ gets an FCC feed every day after it gets to the ULS. It’s not “Official” but up to date for FCC issued calls.

Just use something like Escrow.com unless you actually know the person
involved.

Re: Yet another scam

Ummm ... QRZ.com downloads the FCC ULS at least daily, If you have a US
FCC-granted license, you will be there exactly as your license reads.
Email and bio are up to you. We moved a couple of years ago and I
updated my address in the ULS. It appeared on QRZ.com that night.

For non-US folks, it *is* whatever they have created themselves.

Re: Yet another scam

Hmmm,
I never submitted any details to QRZ.com, neither did my brother, father and father-in-law et al. Most of the UK entries get set up from a periodic data feed from either Ofcom (UK version of FCC) or RSGB. I had a bit of chasing around trying to get my Father-in-Law and father removed from QRZ.com after they became SK. My Father-in-law's call was being used in a scam based in the Netherlands and I have to say that QRZ.com's admin were very helpful and prompt.
The main issue is that there would appear to be a number of SK calls still listed.

Re: Yet another scam

Well, that makes sense. I doubt QRZ.com can do that with all entities,
but it's no surprise that they have it worked out with the UK ... and
maybe some others. This is certainly a long way from the "Callbook" of
the past!

Re: Yet another scam

In reply to this post by Andrew Hebden

I was sharing a table at a dinner at a ham convention (I can't
remember which one) with a lady from the FCC. She pointed out
that the only sure way the FCC has of noting the passing of a
ham is the failure to renew the license after 10 years. She also
noted that they don't get notifications from the Social Security
Administration, and really have no idea of the number of living hams.
