Greetings all, a bit early but I got the Rag Chew for September on the web.

The Rag Chew is available here:
https://www.skccgroup.com/member_services/newsletter/

It's 76 pages of great material including a "new SKCC key," results from Brag.

WES and SKS for the last three months, terrific articles on antennas, slowing a bug, hamfest adventures and much more! Enjoy your reading!

How does poor HF propagation affect your CW operating plans?

Joe, I remember when we used tape recorders to store the operating  systems of the old Tandy Radio Shack computers.

Had to play the tape into the computer just to get things going. Good old days.

Curt,
You're telling our ages on us!

I was thinking about buying another tape  recorder, but I am not sure where to look for one.
I might find one buried at one of old QTHs as the battery ones were rather RFI free and great to copy one's sending, put the tape in the drawer and play it back later to see if I could read myself.

Really great to catch bad habits creeping in like loss of or poor spacing, such as running letters or words together.
Lord, have we come a long way since the TRS80 days! I look at my watch with more computing power then those old PCs.

You may want to get a digital/mp3 recorder.

There are cheap voice recorders going for less than $25, or audiophile recorders for around $100.

I'm sure either would work for recording CW.

Can't think of any reason to buy a magnetic tape recorder nowadays...

OK, I admit I’m a Luddite (not nearly as brave as they were, but still the sympathy is there).

That given, any mode of data transfer that uses only 2 states (i.e. on or off) is a digital mode.

Voice, AM or SSB, is analogue unless you are using some type of digitizer.

Modern cell phones digitize your voice prior to transmission.

The greater the number of bits, the closer the fidelity is to analogue but I do not know of any ham voice mode that uses digitization to modify the transmitted carrier.
I am not sure how that definition fits to the fuzzy logic computers that are in some use now but in general, if the status is either on or off, you have a digital mode. The land line telegraph was the first electrical digital device.

The North Church signal of “one if by land, two if by sea” was indeed digital as it was either on or off, the number of “on” signals had information but it was still on or off.

Hello Friends,

Report from Dr. Tamitha Skov:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qs2RLdHDqU&feature=em-uploademail

"This week was an unbelievable week for space weather. A G3-level solar event ...""... We're coming down from one of the largest solar storms of this cycle. ..."

"the massive solar storm was ... knocking out communications on emergency radio frequencies for many hours. "

and then:

"... A new active region has emerged on the earth-facing sun ... 'Hello, Solar Cycle 25
It's been a busy week for space weather!

Cheers, Darrel, aa7fv.

Please have a look at Nathan's - PS7HD SSN webpage:
http://www.sideswipernet.org/keys/ps7hd-keys.php

Nathan can't take part in the nets at moment. Hope you can soon join the fun
my friend. Looking forward to hearing those nice cooties on the air.

    I'm sorry to report that the SM6 beacon is back on 3566.5 kHz, I heard it last night.

Some hams are really inconsiderate, why a CW beacon there?
Have a nice day / week(end) gents, BCNU.
