AGC Settings for K3 in pile ups

I don’t think there is a one AGC setting that covers all.

 

I am using these settings when working a pile up here on NA045.  My goal is to keep as many of the calling stations as I can at different levels.  This helps separate the calls so I can work the strongest, “loudest”, and move to the next.  For me this works great to keep the rate up but when it comes time to hunt for mults I smooth the AGC back a little.

 

 

AGC DCY Soft
AGC HLD .5
AGC PLS nor
AGC SLP 2

AGC THR 17
AGC F 120
AGC S 20

 

Working from an Island might be different than other locations.

lotw and hrd

what HRD wants in the second part of the screen
is not always simply your callsign again and your password for TQSL

But more precisely exactly everything that you see in your TQSL
after the first Hyphen

for example most ops have "theircallsign - Home"
in my case I have KG5VK - KG5VK for my primary certificate

so in the HRD upload screen
I place KG5VK then my LOTW password
then further down I place KG5VK and my TQSL password
where you may have anything after that first hyphen

double check what you have by using TQSL and manually signing an adif file
it will show you what you have after the Hyphen

I hope this helps someone !

PS spacing and case sensitive applies to what you enter !!!

cheers !

[Club Log] OQRS for non-expedition calls -

Great news of a new feature from ClubLog.........
------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,

The much anticipated 'non-expedition' OQRS features are now live. This means that all Club Log users, not only expeditions, can use OQRS to supply bureau and direct cards to DXers. You can set the price for direct cards, but you must offer bureau cards too, and bureau cards are free (QSLing ethics).

Please start here:

http://www.clublog.org/docs/x/E4Bk

As this is a pretty complicated feature, I would be grateful if you would be vigilant and report any unexpected bugs or issues you find.

Thanks & 73

I found his comment and analysis on this very worthwhile

Cq Dx Contest from TI5N........

I have been invited and decided to accept joining a team of great OPS at Costa Rica's TI5N during the upcoming ARRL DX Phone contest the weekend of March 3 & 4.
It's been awhile since I have been on the other side of the pile-ups and this should be a blast!

ARRL Diamond DXCC award tracking

I ran across this announcement for a software tool to assist us in tracking our progress for the ARRL DDXCC award......

-----------------------------------------------------------------
http://dwestbrook.net/projects/ham/checker/

I have added support** for the DXCC Diamond -- figured this was as good a reason as any to finally get this checker project off the back burner :) Example DXCC Diamond report:

http://dwestbrook.net/projects/ham/checker/reports/KJ4IZW/DXCC-Diamond.html

Note this is beta ... I got 95% done with it about a year ago and then couldn't get back to it -- But it's a general framework for parsing a ADIF file and checking pretty much any kind of awards. (It started out as a checker for the 070 Club endorsements)

This checker works very well with output from DXKeeper (which produces good adif!!).

Any comments or requests for other award series, please let me know ...

Simple Antennas work

Not everyone of us (least not I) can afford big aluminum on all HF bands
wires and ladder line work really well for the low freq stuff
For me it has always been pretty simple 1005/f for a loop of wire
But many can't get even a small loop on the low freq's within their property
Here is a smart guy that shares other methods.........
