I am going to be travelling for some time and may not be able to post reminders of this event. The QSO night continues on every Sunday evening. Feel free to post a reminder here if you do not see one

Due to a fallen tree branch, my antenna is down and I will.be unable to participate for an undetermined amount of time. :(

Jack, we frequently have 100 watt stations join in, and they are welcome. It is probably best to keep higher power qso's short. I have heard 100 watters talking over other distant qrp qso's that they

I enjoy the QSO night very much, it has exactly what I like in ham radio. I enjoy listening in and hearing different conversations around the country. I like the CQ format instead of a directed net wi

This thread is your opportunity to comment on the format and operation of the BITX40 QSO Night, which is our "net". Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Some ideas for discussion: Is the day and t

Constant static noise at the moment

I heard WA2FZW calling CQ, 4x4.

I had similar audio reports on a BITX40 kit. What I believe fixed the problem was to adjust R136. If you can find the comparable variable resistor on your kit, it may help. It is at the base of Q14, n

Wouldn't this circuit be better if the base of the 2n2222 was fed by Audio In rather than Audio Out? It seems like the AGC is attenuating the signal that it uses to drive the attenuation?

Ceramic works. Here is another way to do it: https://groups.io/g/BITX20/message/29689

I second the C102 change. Also, monitor your power output while transmitting. If it is lower than 5W, turn RV136 counterclockwise to increase PA gain as described at the bottom of the page here:. http

Everyone was weak until just before 9pm, when a few stations came through stronger, try calling later in the evening.

So far: QSOs KN4AAG AA4PG (weak) Heard: WA2FZW N1CFB VA2NB

John, I heard WA2FZW call CQ a number of times here in MI. But you were faint in the noise and did not respond.
