<DIV>Hi Peter;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would appreciate your help to operate K4RY on Saturday morning, 4
December, as a special events station with other SEC university club stations to
mark this event. Since Auburn will be in the SEC championship whatever the
outcome of the Alabama game, I plan to operate the station probably beginning at
7 AM, local. However, I will want to vacate the property in time to travel
home to watch the SEC championship game. Please let me know. You
certainly don't need to be there at 7AM, that's just the time the SEC event
starts.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let's see if I can answer your questions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No, the Heathkit SB-301 receiver testing was done at my home where I
have the signal generators and other test equipment easily accessible to tune up
the radios. I don't know where this equipment might be in Broun
Hall. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You are correct that 75/80 meters isn't great during the daytime, but it
does cover the state and close-by surrounding states at that time. It is
much better at night, and that is why I want to get a dipole up on the roof for
75/80M. This will also allow K4RY to be a participant in the Alabama
Emergency Net on 3965 kHz in the evening to increase our visibility.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you want to hook up your PC to the Heathkit receiver, that is
fine. Just be aware that the audio output connector on the Heathkit
receiver is an RCA phono connector, and it is expecting a ~ 8 ohm load, so bring
a patch cord accordingly. Even though 75/80 during the daytime is poor,
the current K4RY antenna on 20 meters should give you lots of listening
opportunities with FLDIGI.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My Tigermail email password will not allow me onto the PC in the Club, so
you can do what is needed to hook up anything to the PC that you want to.
I tried again on Monday, but it just won't work. That's ok, but it will
leave implementation of the iGate to the student members who can access the
network. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Noon to 1 on Thursday I can do if you like. Let me know if that works
for you, and I'll put it on the calendar.</DIV>

the radio.<BR><BR>I was wondering if you wanted to meet from noon to 1 PM on
Thursday<BR>midday in Broun; 411 is it? If you are able to make it then,
would<BR>you also like to throw out an email to the email reflector to see
if<BR>anyone else would be able to make it?<BR><BR>Was the testing of the
receiver done in Broun? I know midday for 75<BR>meters is not the best,
but I would like to hear it or hook it up to a<BR>laptop and try to receive
digital signals with fldigi. I have the<BR>audio cable (3.5cm). We
might need alligator clips though somewhere<BR>in the connection. In
addition, I wonder how well it would work in<BR>Broun knowing we have a bit of
noise around 75 meters. We could also<BR>test the modulation on the APRS
modem. I could also use my laptop to<BR>hook up to the radio via 2 audio
cables. I could even try it off my<BR>radio.<BR><BR>Also, you may want
to refresh everyone's memory on the email reflector<BR>that competition day
that is coming soon after Thanksgiving break<BR>(December 4 or
5?).<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Peter Farver<BR>KD5OCR<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
