In Maui, Hawaii using PSK31 into a 20M dipole antenna I strung up on the roof of the condo (see first photo), running 5 watts (average output power about 2W).





Stations I worked so far on 14.07015 MHz PSK31:

  • 3D2AA Aisea (the only PSK31 op in 3D2) in Lautoka, Fiji.
  • JH1BZJ Jun in Ibaraki-KEN, Japan.
  • FK8GX Michel in New Caledonia, all above on LinPSK 0.7.1 on 733 MHz Sony Vaio with Griffin iMic.
  • JM7OLW Jun in Fukushima, Japan -- 599+ with his 300W into a 3-el beam on a 35M tall tower! How does he find room for it in Japan? He said I was the only signal in the band and answered my tune-up ID for WinPSK on the Toshiba Libretto.


I also heard several hams in Russia (Vladivostok and others), Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, and Cuba.



Tomorrow I am thinking of driving up to the summit of Haleakala and taking a fishing pole to put my antenna up on.

I won Funniest Costume at the PARC Halloween Party. The funny thing is I wasn't wearing a costume...

It's a three-story brick building across from Fry's at 3101 Park Blvd. It looks really spiffy, much nicer than the converted storefront that was their previous office.

Klotz Lube
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayI heard about Klotz Lube when someone sent me an AIM asking "How much would 2 quarts air shipped to Anchorage be?"

I checked out the site, and found that they offer some quite attractive Klotz Accessories so I ordered some T-Shirts.

My bill included a $1.37 "hazardous waste disposal fee."
