All, I am reading these posts with interest. Within the next 2 weeks, I will be able to transmit on ~8 khz from SW US (Arizona). My antenna is the one in use currently for WH2XXP on 630m and 2200m. I
Stefan, I measured my antenna today at 8.275 khz. At resonance, I measure 228 ohms. You had predicted 250 ohms so I feel good with that number. Winding the matching toroid now and I will begin transm
Finally got a little time to play. I'm transmitting on 8270.0 now, showing 600 ma antenna current. Ideally, it runs for the next 24 hours (if I have enough air on the amp!) Ward K7PO Tonopah, AZ
Paul, I think you are correct on the GPS lock. I now recall a couple occasions in the last few weeks where I noticed the GPS unlocked. The problem must be worse than I thought. Tonight (~0100Z) I'll
Jim, That would be awesome. You can see below when the Texas RX copied me. I'm going out tonight to get the GPS working properly. I'm having a little trouble believing my first test went so well. Not
Paul, Good news/bad news here. I found where some of the local wildlife had been snacking on the GPS antenna cable and replaced it. Now for the bad. I use this antenna on 2200/630/160 meters. I had n
Testing now from ~0100Z until ?? 8270.0 800 ma Plan is for 24 hours (or until something bad happens!) Ward K7PO/WH2XXP Tonopah, AZ DM33 --Original Message-- From: Paul Nicholson <[email protected]>
Hi Jim, Thanks for your efforts. I had to return to my 2nd QTH, for work in the morning, so I can't monitor anything from here. Hopefully, tomorrow will give results. -73- Ward K7PO/WH2XXP Ward, Glad
Paul, Thanks for the report! You made my day. I'll leave it on for another 24 hours, at least. Ward K7PO/WH2XXP --Original Message-- From: Paul Nicholson <[email protected]> To: rsgb_lf_group <rsgb
Jay, Thanks for the report. After the shaky start a week or so ago, things seem to be working OK now. Fun stuff! I'm already set up for EbNaut tx, but will probably test with a carrier just a little
Jay, Are you in FN31ls? That would make it a 3588km path. Ward Ward It appears that your carrier was easily received in CT last night. Using the same file as Stefan's transmission your carrier (*) wa
All, Thanks for all the reports, suggestions, and the wealth of knowledge this group possess. I went to the remote tx site this morning, and found there had been a power failure sometime yesterday. E
Trying again . . . I'm hoping for 24 hours this time. 8270.0 800ma On at 2300Z 4 Mar 2018 Ward K7PO/WH2XXP Tonopah, AZ DM33nn --Original Message-- From: Paul Nicholson <[email protected]> To: rsgb_
Paul, This one is a head scratcher. I'm at the TX site now. GPS is locked, generator is correct, antenna current is good. Not sure where the RF is or where it's going. I'm shutting down as I leave to
Paul, I may have missed some of the previous posts, but here's my $0.02 worth. When I built my first version of the amp, I set the X2 option on the U3S and drove the amp directly from the CLK output
