From now on, I am going to save my efforts for the Dubus contest as I feel that their format is much superior.

GA List: Here is another newbie question that has come up over the weekend for me. Ok, a couple of them.. for 2M JT65, what is the preferred doppler correction at my end when I answer another station? Do I adjust (I have been using XIT) so I show up at the other end at his "0 DF" or adjust so I show up on top of where he appears to me? Or something different? I know it is small, and most of the stations I work are running MAP65 so see me anyway, but curious. I was taking my "self" doppler and setting the opposite direction in XIT. I did this whether or not I had set DF to zero at the Rx freq of the station I was calling. Second clarification is regarding the two stated dopplers in WSJT... SELF and DX. after reading the explanation, I understand it as DX is the total doppler I expect to see from the target DX station. So, if he is saying he is on 144.100 I expect to see him at 100 + or - the DX doppler DF. Or, the other way around, if I just find him at say 144.120 and his DX doppler is -200, he is really transmitting near to 120.200. For SELF, if I send at 144.100 I should expect my echo at my location or the DX station to be +/- the stated SELF doppler. THanks. I know validating my understanding of this will help as I move up to higher frequencies.

Thanks Peter! LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  JT is definitely here to stay. I'm all in for improved technology. BUT personally, I think the scoring should be THREE POINTS FOR CW, and ONE POINT for JT.  (Conservatively. Maybe 5:1 ?)  MIke, KL6M On Tue, 1 Dec 2015 09:57:37 -0000, Peter Blair &lt;g3ltf(a)btinternet.com&gt; wrote: Well done Carl ! You say... “ I have never called this much CQ” You, me and several others reporting the same, especially on 70cm. I think the reason is the rule change, people spending contest time watching the loggers instead of looking for signals by tuning or using SDR technology. Comments on the rule change have been requested by Rick, [K]1DS, we should all respond. 73 Peter G3LTF  From: <mailto:sm3akw@spray.se>Carl G Mohlin Sent: Monday, November 30, 2015 10:55 PM To: <mailto:moon-net@mailman.pe1itr.com>moon-net@mailman.pe1itr.com Subject: [Moon-Net] ARRL, 2ND EME  Hi, 23CM cw ONLY and I have never called this much CQ.

I have trouble with OOO, RO, RRR being a signal report but

In US residential wiring deliver is usually 2 phase 240vac with hot-hot-neutral incoming. At the primary disconnect, usually in the meter base, but sometimes further-on in the case of a remote meter there is a ground bus with the primary connection to the grounding electrode system (one or more rods or other suitable grounding electrodes). At this point the neutral/ground bond is made, and there must not be any other bonds further down system. In older NEC, a remote outbuilding _might_ have only H-H-N feed and count as its own separate system, with its own neutral/ground bond and grounding electrode system. Newer NEC generally requires H-H-N-G feed from main building (outbuilding is part of main system). I am blanking on the right terms (there is some bit about supplemental v.s. supplementary), but you are allowed additional grounding electrodes on 2 forms. You can have a driven rod/etc connected to existing safety ground (ground wire from system, or equipment chassis connected to same). This is one type, and the safety ground is the wire connection. Other type is connection to a ground rod instead of a local safety ground wire, where that rod is bonded back to the main GEC by at least #6 The second form is (IIRC) not for AC powered gear, only for general safety bonding. My shack is 100% DC powered (battery back with isolated output charger) and no conductive connections to AC powered gear. My shack ground is of the second type... The charger itself is grounded via the normal electrical ground wire. The DC common and chassis of all gear is bonded to its own ground rod system with a #4 bond back to the main AC GEC. Meets code without connecting the RF rich electrical ground wire to shack common. But, only to code because none of the gear is AC powered and the battery bank charger is fully isolated/floating output. The filter schematic shown is a single phase filter. A 2 phase/split phase filter would have both phases and neutral. If this is going inline with a US 240vac feed for the EME shack, I would suggest getting a suitable size/rating 2 phase filter. If this is powering a single 240vac only device (no neutral or split phase use) and the filter is rated for 250VAC or better...well the schematic is identical to the one pictured but labeled P1, P2, PE instead of P, N, PE. Your first mentioned method is valid, but only for feeding a single 240VAC only device.
