Can we get the schematic for that???<br /><br />Clayton<br />VK1TKA/ZL3TKAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-14921894419964547972011-06-19T15:29:37.888-04:002011-06-19T15:29:37.888-04:00Thank you Bill...that's exactly what I had in ...Thank you Bill...that's exactly what I had in mind. And thank you Steve for the excellent suggestion. Yes, 15m propagation is probably too hit n' miss to schedule a one day event. I like your idea of running the event for as long as Sputnik continued to transmit. Just the sort of input I was hoping for. <br /><br />I've got WiFi in the room tonight (yippie!) so I'll try to make a post to QRP-L before I fall into bed (it was a really long day).<br /><br />Again, great stuff guys!<br /><br />73/72,<br />Mike, AA1TJMichael, AA1TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538000826572081873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-87617023076332695582011-06-19T02:39:11.869-04:002011-06-19T02:39:11.869-04:00Instead of Sputnik 'Day' and considering t...Instead of Sputnik 'Day' and considering that 15 Meters propagation is still hit and miss these days, I would suggest a longer operating event. How about making it 22 days.....the number of days Sputnik's signal stayed on the air.<br /><br />73.......Steve Smith WB6TNL<br /> "Snort Rosin"Steve "Snort Rosin" Smith WB6TNLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570621886789949035noreply@blogger.com
