Question: What is this.

http://www.jancorver.org/what/index.htm

Behind the three black plastic caps is probably the 'secret' but it has not been possible to get this open so far.

If you have an idea, contact editor pse

V2 - Antigua and Barbuda

From the Daily DX
.Next week N3OC, Brian; K3RA, Rol; PY2NY, Vitor; WT3Q, Sam; AB2E, Darrell; N3BNA, Dale; and K1DQV, Roger; are heading down to the V26B contest station on Antigua.

Leading up to the contest "various calls" will be used including V26RA and V26OC. "Operation ahead of the contest will be during the daylight hours primarily and worked in as time permits between station repairs and holiday activities" says Rol.

There will also be some WARC-79 activity prior to the contest.

Look for V26B to be QRV in the Multi-Multi category of the CQ World Wide DX SSB Contest.

Announcing W6SFM's BUG ROUNDUP
The Samuel F. Morse Amateur Radio Club, a Sacramento, California based CW enthusiast club wanted a special time to bring bug operators together on the air.

In the same spirit as ARRL's Straight Key Night, participants are encouraged to make simple, conversational, “chewing-the-fat” QSOs using their bug type key. This is an opportunity to exercise, share and exhibit your personalized fist.

This is NOT a contest.

However, there is a very easy and quick required signup form found at:

https://w6sfm.com/bug-roundup/

Once you are registered for the event simply Call "CQ BR" so folks know you are a Bug Roundup Participant.

So lets grab that bug, clean those contacts, and let’er fly!

We want to hear that “Banana Boat / Lake Erie Swing" or that commercial KPH/WCC quality fist.
Reserve the date!

The event begins on Friday November 17th (00:00 UTC) and concludes Sunday Nov. 19th (23:59 UTC), 2017
That's 4:00 PM Friday evening until 3:59 PM Pacific Time (LOCAL)
For more information, to register your station, and to help assist in spotting, potentially increasing QSOs, an On-line chat window link can be found near the bottom of Bug Roundup home page located at:

https://w6sfm.com/bug-roundup/

We hope to hear you all on the air! 73,

Cheers, Darrel, aa7fv.

I often listen to RTÉ Radio 1.

Last night I enjoyed listening to "Seascapes", the RTÉ maritime programme.

The subject of the 2nd part was:
Evelyn O'Rourke reports from Valentia Island and the Kerry Amateur Radio Group recreating Marconi's first transatlantic transmission.
Seascapes webpage:

Have a nice weekend gents, BCNU.

Getting to the shack.

The AA7FV qth is on the outskirts of Tucson, but in the desert.

There are many rattle snakes in this area.
A few nights ago, we spotted this rattler on our back door mat.

 


The shack is in a separate building from the main house, about 100 feet away.

I have to walk along this path from the house to get to the shack:

 

 

Last night around 8 pm, on my way to the shack in the dark, I could hear an angry rattler, somewhere on or very near this path.

Even with a powerful flashlight, I couldn't see him - they're very well camouflaged.

He was clearly somewhere within striking distance of the path.

I'm afraid I decided I would abandon thoughts of getting to the shack last night, and went back into the house and watched TV instead.
If I ever fail to turn up for a sked, it may be simply be because I'm being kept away from the shack by one of the rattlers.
73, Darrel, aa7fv.

I would have come and visited you if I had been in the area but not any more!!!!

Kind regards Rich G4FAD..

My suggestion? Come by day and not by night?

Editor

Hello Darrel and the group,
Thanks for the thrilling message Darrel.
What a traumatic experience, not the rattle snake I mean, but watching TV...;-)
Well, more seriously, a very unpleasant encounter indeed, BRRR.... Be careful my friend.
Have a nice day gents, BCNU.
