QRP Happy Dance

I don't chase DX (over several decades lived/worked/traveled in about 70 countries, more than I've ever QSO'd), but last night when I heard ON4AOI at 449/559 calling CQ DX and not getting answers, just for giggles I gave him a call and was thrilled when he quickly replied and gave my five Watts a 449. Oh, it all happened 'round about midnight on 1.810 mHz.

The noise floor of the LM386 possible improvement

Dear folks,

Did somebody tried to improve the noise floor of the LM386 by adding the 10k resistor and 10n capacitor in series between pin 8 and the output pin as it was published in the Oklahoma QRP News Letter and then after by KA4UOS in Sprat nr.79 please?

I am interested in the results...

Thank You for responses in advance.

"Sticky Zipper's" Christmas Present

Hi Gang:

I just registered on the site. Last time I saw most of you was during Lobstercon 2008. A lot has changed since then.

First off Pat (KB3MCT) and I moved from Wilkes-Barre, PA down to Dacula, GA in September of 2008. We still have our house in PA but are actively trying to sell it...preferably to a ham....since it still has the 55 ft tower and TH-7DX beam installed!!

We drove up to PA for Thanksgiving and to get the house ready for the market. Intending to stay only 5-10 days, we drove back on Christas Eve...got sidetracked by an ice storm on I-81 just north of the North Carolina line. Had to RON for a few hours and then it was back on the road. Got to our place in Dacula about 11PM on Christmas Day.

New Kid on the Blog

Hello All,

My name is James, AA5AO and my QTH is Abilene, Texas.

My current station consisit of a Heathkin HW-8, MFJ tuner, and a 1/2 square for 20 meters.

I am looking for the artwork for the NESCAF since the kits are not in production. If it can be supplied, I would greatly appreciate it.

While I am not on the radio, I am chasing after a couple of boys with ADHD, a Wife, a Mother-in-Law in the nursing home, and a Nursing Career.

Thanks for the read,
