Hello Pete,

I found the transverter good and cheap. I di= d many MS+ES QSO with a special permit as DI2AX in 2009.

Hi Roger

 

Thanks for the URL to the 4m transverter. I have started to take intere= st in the band again. I have always been on FM. I have built several 4M converte= rs but never had luck with the TX side. The last project I had a go= at was one in RadCom a year back the Converter was all Mosfet which worked really well and I still use it. The TX side however was not a suces= s mainly I think down to the mixer which was a diode double balanced design= that I just could get to work.

So I may try the TX part of your circuit..... I hope you are prepared to answ= er questions later ... hee:-))

Hi Mal.

G3XIZ continues to improve his station and has been copied at decent range= on DFCW this weekend. Others, like me, are finding out more and more about through-the-ground VLF communications and are regularly copying UK and Eur= opean stations on 8.97kHz by radiated DX. You've only to look on the news page= of the Sub 9kHz Amateur Radio website to see just how much is going on on VLF. Se= e https://sites.google.com/site/sub9khz/news

Certainly 10m has been very good lately, with WSPR reports from around the planet with my 5W (or less) and a small wire halo antenna. 6m and 4m Es DX= is also about to start and I'm hoping for some QRP DX on 4m with my homebrew= transverter. See http://sites.google.com/site/g3xbmqrp/Home/4m_transvert= er.

In my view it is not either/or but all and more. 

Good luck on whichever end of the spectrum you experiment Mal.
