A specific part of engineering course at Cambridge in the 50"s was a clear grasp of the order of magnitude of things, it has stood me in good stead in all matters from ham radio thro' yacht navigatio
Most RTTY programs have a computere generated CW facility also. Morse-challenged operators could possibly use such ? Bryan G3GVB Normal RTTY would not be acceptable on LF this has been discussed many
Regardless of appellations used in the licence, a station transmitting for pure amateur pleasure with no professional/commercial intent is by all standards of English usage... an "amateur radio stati
Please clarify for this [LF} newbie Are these vertical or horizontal loops? What dimensions? G3GVB [ just acquired a cross-bow for shooting ant. halyards over trees.] Day 1 - slung up a bigger loop w
Wow! that was a prompt reply.. Thank You, It is too early the 'morning after ' here for me to work out what time you have but I guess you must be mid evening yesterday.-ish. I'm not in weight trainin
Absolutely. They need only send CQD or SOS.......but of course if they can't send morse then .......??? for Will you rush out to the RESCUE when they are all locked up !! ef. ) with Licence. arrangem
Without time travel the nature of a transmission is unchanged by its later detection. Exactly how does a transmission on a permitted frequency in one country become offensive if its later reception i
But "They" have an implicit duty to regulate only for some demonstrable universally desirable purpose...otherwise it descends to : "Don't do that !" "Why?" "Because We said so ,that's why" Examples :
I am all in favour of keeping amateur bands strictly amateur. (Don't start me on about Winlink for example). From what you say (which I did not previously know) a LF amateur band has been specificall
Thanks. I found that quite illuminating. How can the Power companies claim to be permitted to operate under part 15 rules [ antennas and feeder etc not to exceed 15 metres ] when their antenna system
The Part 15 rules restriction of 15 metres seems to include the "feeder" , one would have thoght this precluded the use of 100 mile power lines as "transmission lines" then.... One can only applaud V
?? you mean around 1400 UTC ? Not sure your Qth but guessing from the VE7 Johan 80m has been open into Europe in the predawn hours here for the last couple of days. I'll have a listen tonight for you
I'll be there today. Yes, Have heard Gs,SMs,UAs etc... Some real nice DX into ZL and south pacific as well. 73 Scott -- Original Message -- From: "captbrian" <[email protected]> To: <rsgb_lf_g
To be serious: I hope no-one on the list ever holds back for fear he may be too technical. The joy of this list for me is that almost everyone knows more than do I. To be not quite so serious, Long d
I doubt if they have parrots* but you do have straight-line thinking. ! Forget the tyres.! Bolt a 6 inch pvc pipe-leg at each corner. Make the length such that the tyres are off the ground a few inch
Ahhh! I was hoping someone was going to tell me the name of the book.. [ ... ] To be not quite so serious, Long delays on radio signals were explained (but only in a novel ) by Carl Sagan long ago -
Great tourist opportunity . for Norway......"Fly to Oslo for a soldering good weekend amongst a free people"" Warning: Remembeer to buy solder because some EU rules forbid to sell the normal type of
I do not think there is a "true" SWR meter which can work by measuring things at only one point on a transmission line. SWR is a ratio and can only be indicated by making a set up which responds to i
We agree then for, as I said , it cannot be _measured_ at one point. The loosely called "SWR meter" sold as such in ham radio shops is badly named , and "SWR Comparator-Deducer" would be better. But
