Greetings: There was some surprise about surplus GPS OEM level units. I put myself back on several of the TAPR SIGs that are into APRS. This showed up. Timeline has surplus Rockwell Jupiter units for
interesting. Especially as some of us recently experienced that wet stuff absorbs a lot of RF. ? "wet stuff", what do you mean? Snow and ice at -40c (or f ;<] hi) are the best insulators around and t
Greetings Rik and Andy: Many years ago I did read somwhere an article about horizontal dipoles used in the desert that were just laying on the sand. I hope this relates, but we used to lay MF and HF
Dex I am receiveing a strong signal on 138.830 KHz here in North Carolina. I have posted two .jpg files of what I am seeing with Argo. Can someone verify wheather or not this is DCF39? Well it sure l
Peter: In the UK there is a legal requirement for an amateur radio transmission to be regularly identified with a callsign. I guess it must be different in Canada Interesting, we have a similar requi
Markus: Frequency is accurate, look there, see following.... It's fine now Larry. S6 on the meter and exactly the same frequency as before. 137,789.89 As Peter said, it would be great to see your cal
Peter: A dashed transmission will be indistinguishable from the many Loran sidebands near the frequency - many of which are also dashed. Why not send your callsign QRSS for a positive identification.
Greetings All: I had a late start tonight on 137.790, I lost several hours while I went to a quick learning course from the Decca 5501 Amplifier. In very short order, despite long success with polypr
Greetings: I would also be prepared to put some Dollars into a pot to have those parts held by someone so they might be called on if or when they are needed. The idea is not to hoard the parts but to
Greetings: Transmitting tests on 137.790 from VA3LK will start again today from 20 utc to 03 utc for the next three days. The signal will be long dashes from 1 to 3 mites long, a different dash lengt
Greetings All: Sometime last week I saw a short note at the end of an email to the effect that the Crawley club had some Decca parts available. I am very keen to protect the Decca amplifier that is h
Greetings All: While testing my Decca installation at my remote site I happened to plug it into my Remote HF CW system and voila success. The Decca will happily key without any noticable side effects
It was awful. We need higher priced help to pick the good weekends hi. DCF39 was weak or not there at all most of the evening. VE1ZZ was even weaker at times, noise was very high. My frequency has be
Greetings All I will be on 136.493 starting at 20 utc until 06 utc, 5 amps in the antenna to the Decca. 15 minute cycles as per others if anyone wants to chat (hi) for tonight only 613 273-3363 is be
Mike: 10s dot QRSS. I will be using this standard from 0300 Sat and Sun morning on 135.919kHz sending just XDV. Not sure what is going on, Jack seems to send reports but no follow up or consistency,
Andy: What a pity that none of the VA/VE stations transmitting can maintain the sort of accuracy needed by this. The ability to make vector measurements of absolute phase over hours in mHz bandwidth
Greetings All: Anyone who is building the G4JNT DDS board and needs to have a PIC programmed, I have these resources now and can load a PIC sent to me with either the software for 4 MHz or 5 MHz oper
Greetings All: Earlier I messed up a bit, I forgot to emphasize that the best sources of cheap GPS receivers is to stay in touch with the APRS, Automatic Position Reporting Service amateur community.
Andy et all: Wherever did you find them at that price ? Mine cost nearly 100 pounds, and that was from the TAPR special deal on GPS25s. Mine came from an organization that was upgrading OEM level GPS
