Hi everyone, I built Hans' 30M beacon kit and it is now on the air, about 100mW into a quarter wave vertical at around 14.140.030. What a fun little kit! I haven't seen it on any grabber yet, so pl

Hello! First timer. I am getting excited about QRP and QRSS and need to build the G0UPL beacon. Eric Seebohm KG8FE echolink node # 516921 ___________________________________________________________

Hello to the group. I have the 30 meter beacon up and running into a dummy load. It seems to work. I need to set the shift and will look at it with the scope later tonight. I'm go hang a dipole in

Can anyone please tell me if there is a "standard" frequency for each of the different bands , for operating QRSS , and a list of what those frequencies are ?   Thank you ,   73 , Charlie , W5COV

Just finished the beacon I bought from Hans at FDIM. Got code on pin two, but no discernible code from the output. It appears that pin 3 is at a constant 5 volts. As soon as I get time, I'll get tog

Hi Guys, Hans and I have sold out of kits and people still want them. So we intend to do another 100, 50 for 30 meters, 25 for 80 meters and 25 for 40 meters. I hope to have them ready for the end of

The following QRPLabs poll is now closed. Here are the final results: POLL QUESTION: Hans and I are CONSIDERING doing another batch of beacon kits as we are being asked for more but are sold out

On behalf of Hans and I welcome to the QRP Labs mailing list. Please feel free to post details of your beacons, pictures of your "grabs", any modifications you have made and so on. Hans and I put the

I bought the kit at FDIM but have not assembled it yet.  However, I have been running the software and watching 30M 10.140.  Here is my problem...  I see some callsigns but what do I do with them?  Se

Greetings to the group. I'm unable to get ARGO to work with my Signalink USB external soundcard. ARGO wants to default to my onboard soundcard instead. Any idea how I can change this? I don't want to

Guys, For those of you who need a "Receiving QRSS 101" you can do no better than look at the website http://www.dxzone.com/cgi-bin/dir/jump2.cgi?ID=16403 . Regards, Steve G0XAR

Guys, I think it might be a neat idea if we could plot locations of our beacons and grabbers on Google earth. Never done it before but from reading http://earth.google.com/outreach/tutorial_spreadsh

Hello, I just put my QRSS kit from Hans Summers on the air a couple of days ago and would appreciate hearing of any "sightings" of my signal. What are the "various online grabbers" referenced in the

I finisshed assy of beacon kit today. works fine. I set mine for 10.140040 mhz and 5hz shift at qrss 6   I plan to mount mine at center of dipole with a 5volt regulator in the box. I will send up 12

New to the group and didn't get to Dayton. I'm hoping to buy a 30m kit from the next batch. 73 Mike N0QBH

Hello all, Beacon running on 10.140050. About 50 mw. I hope I've got the frequency set right. Looking for possible reports. Mike, W9QS Urbana, IL

I've been testing it for a bit, and finally put it online Sunday night. My friend, W8MOJ, got the signal and later I saw it on W1BW's grabber. Woohoo! Tomorrow (Wed) evening I'll put it online again i

Is there a site that keeps track of real time 30m QRSS activity or, at least, stations that have been active of late? Steve / VE7SL

Welcome all new members who joined the list! Congratulations to all who have recently announced their kit completion and getting on air! I have a page on my website about the kit http://www.hanssumm

Hi All,   I am building the 30M QRSS and one of the interim checks is to see if the circuit is oscillating at 10.140 MHz.   I am using my FT-450 to check for oscillation, cw mode, and I do not d
