Noise … it’s a big problem for many of us, and it’s getting worse as
RF-generating “devices” become more commonplace. W6PUX shares his
story of his ongoing effort to track down the sources of S9+ noise across the
HF bands at his station, and wonders if the FCC’s rules on noise-generating
devices are tough enough.

 This year CQ is offering two
15-month calendars!
CQ Amateur Radio Operators’ Calendar
CQ’s Commemorative 75th Anniversary Calendar

CQ Amateur Radio Operators’ Calendar

Each year our calendar offers fifteen spectacular color images relating to
amateur radio: shacks and antennas from across the country, DXpeditions to
exotic places, and fellow hams enjoying the hobby. We’re sure you’ll agree this is
one of our best calendars to date!

CQ’s Commemoartive 75th Anniversary Calendar

Take a trip back in time with CQ’sCommemorative 75th Anniversary Calendar! This
special edition tracks major events in ham radio history through the pages of CQ.

Each of our 15 months covers a 5-year period from 1945-2020, with a specially-
selected CQcover, article and advertisement that track the progress of ham radio
activity and equipment during that time period. Old-timers will recall major events
and newer hams will get a better idea of how the hobby has gotten to where
it is today.

As in the past, both 15-month calendars (January 2020 through March 2021)
includes dates of important Ham Radio events, major contests and other
operating events, meteor showers, phases of the moon and other
astronomical information, plus important and popular holidays.

active hams, some are on water and email. great CQ awards, Eddie, KS4AA
some are on permanent ice. Your place
on the honor roll is waiting for working
just 175. Go for it! Visit the CQ DX FIELD
AWARD link on the CQ AWARDS page
for all the details. Here is a hint for know-
ing instantly what square the station you
need or work is located: Use FT-8
mode!
Half award, half contest, the annual
CQ DX Marathon is probably the best-
known of the lesser known CQ awards
(Is that an oxymoron?) Every DXer
starts at 0 on January 1st every year.
During the year, you work as many
countries and zones as possible. You
get credit for working each zone and
country only once. This is a unique
award in that every legal ham band can
be used for credits. The maximum num-
ber you can earn is 40 zones plus all the
DXCC countries. The award period is
January 1st at 0000 UTC and finishes
December 31st at 2359 UTC. So, no
matter how long you have been chas-
ing DX, everyone starts fresh every
year. The 2020 DX Marathon rules are
elsewhere in this issue. Or, you may go
to the CQ DX MARATHON page for all
the rules and a lot more information.
Whether you are a little pistol or a big
gun, there is a category for you. Will we
see your call in next year’s totals?
One of the paragraphs from last
month’s column is worth repeating (I
promise not to repeat it again):
 

 
There are so many aspects of award
chasing. My XYL asked me many times
why I spent so much time chasing them
(she was a ham years ago). A simple
reply has always been, “Because they










are there!” (Pardon the pun). When you 


 

receive that final confirmation, your 







heartbeat increases, your happy hor- 


 

mone flow gets stronger. If you have

no-nonsense front panel shows all
important parameters at a glance, with a
high-contrast 32-character LCD and fast,

Make Waves With The New

bright LED bar graphs. Band switching
is instantaneous, via control inputs or
RF sensing. Protection and monitoring
Elecraft KPA1500 Amplifier circuitry is extensive and foolproof,
letting you focus on the job at hand —
breaking pileups and overcoming the
most difficult operating conditions.
And it wouldn’t be an Elecraft amp
without robust PIN-diode T/R switching.

QSK without a noisy relay.
The amplifier’s rugged internal ATU can
handle full power with load SWR up
to 3:1, while a wider matching range is
allowed at lower power, including up to
10:1 in standby mode.

KPA1500 Features
• 160-6 meters
• Very compact design -
4.5x13.5x11.5” HWD
• Fast, silent PIN diode T/R switching
• Built-in Antenna Tuner with dual
antenna jacks
Separate remote-controlled power supply • Compatible with nearly any
transceiver
