Gangue, I have to apologize for the current Lobstercon date SNAFU! I 'reserved' the campsite for Lobstercon2012! on the very day I checked out and settled up with the campground for 2011. Unfortunately, the 'weekend after the July 4th weekend' was translated to the' weekend after the 4th of July' and she had penciled us in for July 6, 7 & 8. She also just INKED in the Saltwater Celtic Music Festival for 'OUR' weekend of the 13th and that requires the entire campground so we cannot squeeze our event in then.... So Lobstercon2012!

Gentlemen:

Can't leave well enough alone...

The first thing that I put on my NEScaf board was a diode - in the hole for the +ve power lead.  Too darn easy to get the power leads wrong!

And then I started playing!!

Discovered that when I used the filter for RTTY, it appears to work about the same as my 250 hz 8.8mhz filter - as far as the waterfall is concerned anyway.  Of course the crystal filter will have other benefits - and is a lot pricier....

Reversed polarity on Nescaf. Pow!

Where do I get a replacement for the big chip on the board?  The switched capactive filter.  Can I get one from NEQRP club?

NEScaf completed - success!

HI all,

I just completed building my NEScaf and it is working great!  I connected it to my Elecraft K1.  I might also use it with my "tuna can family".  Thanks for providing a nice kit.
