My Week in Ham Radio
- CQ WPX RTTY contest
- Chased 41 contacts
- Called CQ with no responses
- Played in the front yard getting my existing random wire a little higher in the tree
- Running around 20 minutes before this meeting to try to get my 2m antenna in a place that makes sense. I failed, so I’m on EchoLink.
Others’ Questions
- Number codes? 73, 72 best regards in QRP.
- Recapping equipment
- Check temperature ratings of capacitors 85C vs 105C
- Keeping voltage applied regularly keeps a capacitor in good function
- Try to operate capacitors nearer to their V rating to keep them “formed up”
- Is anything leaking from the bottom of the caps
- Signs of problems?
