QRP Happy Dance
Submitted by Charles Moizeau on January 9, 2010 - 17:47.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
Submitted by ok1rp on January 8, 2010 - 12:19.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
Submitted by K7SZ on January 6, 2010 - 00:00.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
Submitted by james b hickox on September 5, 2009 - 12:54.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,
