Scott Toth commented on the post, 13 Colonies Special Event 9 years, 9 months ago
I didn’t think I’d be able to get all of the special event stations because I had family in town for the weekend, but thankfully between using D-star to log contacts with WM3PEN and GB13COL and most stations having light traffic on Sunday evening, I got them all. Now on to the task of sending envelopes and QSL cards!

Grabbed all 15 on day one. Had to wait for Rhode Island to come back on in the afternoon, and then wait a while for propagation to change on 40m. Propagation to Great Britain wasn’t so hot during the day, but seemed to improve after sunset. This is a fun one I usually do. Sometimes it pays to have the day off!

The new Arcom controller was ordered last week and has shipped! It should be in early next week. Upon receipt it will be assembled and tested, awaiting the arrival of the repeater itself. There is still no word on a ship date for that. We’ll keep you posted!

Scott Toth replied to the topic Windows 7/PC 32 vs 64 bit in the forum Technical Discussions 10 years ago
Any 32-bit application should work fine on a 64-bit OS because of technology built into modern processors, and because of a “compatibility layer” built into 64-bit Windows. Believe it or not, you may run into more problems when trying to install 64-bit applications on a 64-bit OS because of dependencies. To put it succinctly, since not…[Read more]

Thanks so much to Bill Schwiegeraht, N8KSG for providing additional information related to 1/4 wave and 5/8 wave vertical antennas! Bill modeled both using EZNEC and noted the following:

Looks good man! That was a lot of fun. People really seem to enjoy contacting a special event station, and most mentioned about how much they learned about the Battle of Guilford Courthouse after hearing about the station. I think that’s awesome.

A little tid bit to add – if you’re looking for the quality of the Neumann U87 but don’t have the 4k+ to drop on one, the Neumann TLM103 is about one quarter the cost of the U87 and it’s capsule is essentially the same as the U87. To boot, it’s REALLY quiet too… from a “mic noise” perspective and is used by a lot of VO industry professionals.
