In cw keyer technology, the name Curtis has been famous for many years. The “ keyer on a chip “ began with the introduction of the 8043 chip in 1973. It provided features such as contact debouncing, weighting circuitry and a sidetone. Although it packed a great deal of functionality, it was soon replaced, in 1975, by the improved 8044 which added dot and dash memory for more reliable element insertion. The 8044M, with analog speed metering, followed in 1980. A few years later two schools of squeeze keying, Mode A and Mode B, had developed. The original 8044, a Mode A only device, prompted the introduction of the 8044B which performed in Mode B. The final version of the product line, the 8044ABM, was released in 1986. It brought all of the previous features onto one chip … selectable Mode A or B, analog speed metering and both positive and negative weighting adjustment. These devices were quite popular and a number of manufacturers chose to use them in their keyer packages. The 8044 line went out of production around 1992. A tip of the hat from the CW gang to John Curtis and his company, Curtis Electro Devices. TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z RULES: Just make ALL these words from calls of stations you work subject to the General Challenge Rules. (Any spaces in the phrases should be ignored. For example the challenge phrase "INVERTED V ANTENNA" should be treated as if it is the single word "INVERTEDVANTENNA.") CURTIS ELECTRO DEVICES MODE A MODE B 8044 CONTACT DEBOUNCING CIRCUIT SIDETONE OSCILLATOR IAMBIC KEYING The 88 total letters contain these 21 different letters and numbers : A B C D E G I K L M N O R S T U V Y 0 4 8 You can use each letter in a call TWICE. For example you could use K3WWP for 2 K's, 4 W's, and 2 P's. Subsequent QSO's with the same station cannot be used for additional letters. For example, no matter how many times you work K3WWP, you can only use his call for 8 of the letters in the words. See General Rule #5 for more details on what callsign letters can be used. If you need some help with your alphabet challenge record keeping take a look at our Alphabet Tutorial page for everything from some great pencil & paper methods to fully computerized tools. AWARDS: A certificate and Participation Point go to everyone making all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. A Participation Point goes to everyone making at least 1, but not all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. PRIZES: A choice of an item made by master woodworker Gregg WB8LZG as shown on our prizes page here goes to someone selected via a random drawing from all who participate and submit a report for this month's challenge. A person can only win once, then they become ineligible for future drawings. LOGS: For your report, list the words you made and the station used for each letter in the word. The number of stations listed must be the same as the number of letters in each word, even though you use the same station for more than one letter as in: WORD - K3WWP N2OD WA8REI N2OD NEXT - NF8M W8REI N8XMS K9EYT (Note how N2OD is listed for both the O and D.) You may also include comments about the challenge. Please preface any comments you want posted with "SOAPBOX:" so we will know what you want posted and what is private.

N4OW: That was FUN !
K4KBL: The Elecraft K1 keeps humming along ! Band conditions on 30 and 20 seem to
be improving. Looking forward to the Sprint !!
N1XF: Whew. Down to just a '0' and KD0DK answers my call on 30M this evening only
to get lost in QSB. I'd switched back to my Straight Key for SKCC, found David on
the SKCC SKED and we caught up on 40M in arguably better conditions (339 both
sides). But we connected, I finished my first NAQCC Challenge and got another
SKCC contact to boot. 73 N1XF
KJ4R: Another good challenge. Took a while to get all the C's and E's. Made all
my QSO's this month using my PFR 3B. I worked CE2LR to get the last letter I needed
("L") on the 19th. Just a few minutes after working him I found Z66D calling
"CQ Up" with no pile up yet. The PFR 3B isn't really made to work split, but I've
found that I can tune / transmit where the DX is listening and then use the RIT to
listen where the DX is transmitting. It took 6 or 8 tries but the op stuck with
me and I was able to get #116 QRP DXCC and #72 QRP DXCC on 40M. Almost all my time
to operate is in the evening so I'm glad that 40 is holding up as a good " go to "
band. Also wanted to thank WB5RVZ for the great job on the challenge program.
Makes it easy to keep track of the letters I need. 73 to everyone.
KA5PVB: QRP for me, is getting to be more of a challenge with diminishing propagation.
Some days almost no signals were heard on any band! Hope May will get us some better
propagation as my HW-8 only puts out about 2.5 watts for the "Homwbrew" event!
See ya'll next month and listen for me out there! 73, Chuck
NF1U: Fun as usual and keeps me on the radio.
K1YAN: Propagation was all over the board this month. Some days no signals strong
enough to work and then added Kosovo and Mali to the DXCC total. Finished the last
letter with only three days of the month left.
WB4OMM: Almost!! I really enjoy this....it's fun! Makes me look for calls! Helps
I had a few portable ops this month!
AK3X: A fun challenge and although I finished it on the 16th of April, I just got
around to sending it in on the 30th! Highlight for me was being able to use letters
from my very first ever 160 meter contact (and so far only contact) with NP2J..
only 99 more DX entities to go! So now I am plotting how to get an actual 160 meter
antenna onto my small suburban lot. Thanks for the challenges and 72 to all.. Peter
KB1M: Fun challenge, just 5 letters short of completing. Most memorable QSO was a
2way QRP with Gary, EI5HJ NAQCC #3062, simple wire antennas both ends, on what I
had thought was a closed band to Europe. Big signals each way. 72/73 Walt
N8XMS: It was fun but I couldn't find enough operating time to complete this
challenge. I think it might have something to do with this daylight savings time
scam!
VE3DQN: Long words. End of month. Missing a few letters.
W2JEK: ANOTHER GOOD CHALLENGE. AGAIN THE LETTER 'O' S WERE THE LAST ONES WORKED.
LOTS OF FUN. 72/73 DON
K1IEE: Another great challenge. Hope the band conditions begin to improve soon.
20M around the 1200UTC is my prime operating time. Thanks to all 73 Dick
WA2FBN: Band condx poor for April; hard time making many contacts
with the dead bands . MTR 3B at 4w into EFHW at 25 ft. 72 Ken
