Anybody have a recommendation for a very entry-level CW paddle? (My TS-480 has a paddle connector) I'm trying to get into CW and I've found early on that the paddle seems to be mightier than the key...or perhaps it's just my rough newbie technique! .. was thinking of getting this one: www.hamgoodies.co.uk/cw-paddle-key
What you're looking for Tim is a bit of weight so you're not chasing it about the desk and a comfortable feel. I started off with a Kent twin paddle key ( www.kent-engineers.com/TWINinfo.htm ) and while it was fine, I just never really got to grips with it. I sold it and got my Bencher. I love it.
Benchers rule!
MFJ do a Bencher copy but in my opinion, its not as nice to use.
I tried MFJ version but now use a bencher and that is what I recommend
I've got a Kent single paddle which is new and unused.
Thanks everybody for the advice, I'll have a think!
I have put the log periodic up and as you can see it has a tower to its self feeding it was quite controversial as some say feed with a air chock some say tape coax to boom others say not to and hang it down away from the boom so I have a mix of all the method I have researched 1-1balun and coax drop to boom only time will tell if it have made the right decision. Thanks to cambell Geoff John for the input and advice and to all for comments and suggestions I'll have to give it a try soon just getting it ready for use was a Misson lol.
impressive
I've been playing about a bit mostly on PSK31, here's where I've worked lately
Digimodes kinda get a hold of you John and JT65/JT9 is the way forward :)
John how did you get these on a map, curious?
thanks John....
DF NIGHT -- Friday 12th May
Meet @ 18:30 for 19:00 start at the Car Park opposite the Dragon Way Chinese Restaurant, Port Seton
Cost: £2.00 per person for Club Funds
Map of Hunt Area is provided plus rules. Can also be found on the club website under downloads.
This is our first DF Night of 2017 around the county of East Lothian. The "fox", this time GM1PLY no doubt will find a good hiding place and then he will transmit for 30 secs every 5 minutes starting at 19:00. The DF Hunt finishes at 20:45 where we retire to the Thorntree Inn for the DF Hunt debrief.
Easy to find...? I can assure you it is not, East Lothian throws up some strange radio transmissions which can send you on a wild goose chase....
So do you want an evening of good fun well come along and join in. I hope you all will do.
ach... I had it in my diary for months but I've been sent down to London on business. next time eh!
how was the DF night
5 cars out. Pity about the rain though. Rickie was really devious but 3 cars found him. 1 just missed finding and the other still looking. Great night though
will try and get to the next one
It is fun. Everyone thinks it is easy but can assure it isn't. September one is mostly in the dark and that makes it harder still....reckon you will enjoy it if you come slong
