If you’re like most of us, you probably have a perfectly working power
supply from a long-dead computer (maybe more than one) sitting around

WB5VQX say someday is now and show you how to convert a computer
power supply into something useful for ham radio or other applications.

may be due in part to improved log-

checking algorithms:
• 1.1% busted (incorrect) received
callsign
• 1.5% busted serial number received
• 1.6% NIL (Not In Log)
• 4.2% total error rate
• 9.2% score reduction (with penalties
and lost mults, score reduction is high-
er than raw error rate)
Achieving a zero error rate may mean
that too much time is being spent on
accuracy. Speed and accuracy are a
trade-off for optimal communication.
Certificates are available online for
download and printing locally. The link for
your certificate is on the far right of your

Another year, another Dayton … as usual, there was something for just
about everyone at this year’s Dayton Hamvention®, held once again at
the Greene County Fairgrounds in nearby Xenia, Ohio.
Here’s a sampling of who and what we saw…

Most commercial radios today have excellent audio filtering on both
receive and transmit. But sometimes you might want to build a customized
