We are all "ears" Dear LF Group, I just received a phone call from Carl Walde, saying that the transmission will go ahead as planned. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU Dear Marcus, LF Group, There is a
A fair signal here but overshadowed by a high speed data sounding signal. Am I alone in having this problem or is my ancient B41 not up to the selectivity task. Nice signal from SAQ in Athens Costas
thanks, I am Nr. Brighton and about half a mile from the sea, small wonder then, the strength of HWU . I'll see if I can transcibe it. G3GVB Hi Bryan, The high-speed data signal is most likely HWU on

Why not use what now seems to be standard practice and email him to ask his intentions while telling him the next signal he sees will be yours ? [half in humour ] LF Group Just a thought - having use
Move with the times! Let it be understood that "best wishes to any ham station contacted" is default mode . Then one need send nothing unless these wishes are to be cancelled ? The 'undo' code for th
Now we're getting there. Translating from Latin in my schooldays ; various words in English which are an intrinsic part of Latin words we had to show by " (understood)" So "GM " (understood by refere
this rig , which I prefer on HF to more modern ones, has lost sensitivity if antenna is put to usual socket but is fine with Rx socket. That implies fuse-bulb gone. I am inside the case but blowed if
Ah. thanks. I was looking for a screw-in pea-lamp bulb in a socket. I'll go look more closely. My circuit says the connection to the rx socket does not go through the bulb so I query what Niels says.
Aha , thank you. Of course I am by no means sure that my handbook is specific to the rig I have. I wondered if it had been omitted on some models.. bulb. I just found out that it depends on the seria
Hardly an 807 (beam power tetrode): more like a EF50 (high gain pentode) but let's not get into this old man's talk ;-)) or we'll be into the 'young lads today don't know anything ' syndrome and the
Sure the zepp is short for zeppelin. In its original form the object was to keep high RF voltages away from the explosive hydrogen. If I had computer skills I could draw you a pic, but you can imagin
but you are talking about power amplifiers. I have never seen such items in single rx RF stages. Not enough gain. My line up as a VS2 in the darkest jungle was a string of 807 doublers /drivers to an
Yes, did all that, worked a YL on ten-metres - W1MCW from my father's attic, she sounded like Jane Russell, I thought , and that life could hold nothing better. Somehow it wasn't quite so much fun wh
If you want to communicate with navigators in general and not just radio-hams then , then Lat. Long. seems obvious in view of universal GPS users Bryan Over the years I have encountered a number of l
I do not tell others what to do but it has never been clear to me why radio amateurs need a separate system for defining geographical position from that used by the rest of the population unless it i
I am not an expert at all but a feeling for the answer can often be found by taking a predictable answer to a simple example and moving progressively to the situation under consideration. (A)If you p
That is an interesting historical account but you fail to tell us the reasons advanced for not using Lat. Long. ie trigonometrical definitions on a true curved surface rather than draughtsman drawn s
BTW is there a site with a program that inputs lat.long and outputs the locator and "wab" ? Bryan That is an interesting historical account but you fail to tell us the reasons advanced for not using
