And it is worth also remembering that although the K instance is 'instantaneous' and updated every 3 hours, the A index the average of all the individual K indices over the past 24 hours. To that ext
And about to change, see your July QST. It is expected that the FCC will allow cw and data as well, with CW rather strangely only to be permitted on a single frequency at the channel centre. 73 Dave
I took a listen down on 136kHz last night Chris, using my 500kHz resonant vertical and my Datong UC/1. I heard you calling CQ on CW, and presumably you also on QRSS something or other a bit later. Th
When I have seen this referenced elsewhere the problem mentioned is that the copper coating is extremely thin and soon disappears leaving you with bare steel, not good... Hence, avoid it. Don't you h
Where did you hear that? Currently the sun is very quiet, zero spots, and the geomagnetic field 'unsettled' but certainly not storm. K index currently 2. HF bands pretty dire, but due to lack of suns
It never ceases to amaze me what Google translate makes of things... Rather better, ignoring such things and doing it properly: ** Hello Stefan! Today I have not received much. Possibly I am not quit
Indeed SOME pipes are plastic but by no means all. Our estate, built around 1960, has metal water and gas pipes although a re-piping exercise is underway in Bracknell which will presumably change it
Firstly the band plan is the IARU Region 1 bandplan, reissued by the RSGB to include local differences on frequencies above 430MHz. The 136kHz bandplan was agreed by the IARU and is the same in all R
I have been watching this thread with some bewilderment... If the antenna you are putting up is a form of longwire, dipole (shortened I guess..), doublet, G5RV etc then it honestly doesn't matter on
In fact it is probably not the blacklist server itself but the hosting provider it runs on. I have a similar problem in emailing one of the chaps on the CDXC reflector as his hosting company runs its
I suspect that with the IARU contest in full throw last night you would have had a tough time with this one......... 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com
You mean: Bubbles in the Ozone Layer - Bob Brown NM7M (not NM6M) QST December 1999 p44-46 Have just downloaded it from the ARRL Members Only Archive http://p1k.arrl.org/pubs_archive/97434 73 Dave G3Y
I assume you have looked at my pages on 136kHz loops - http://www.davesergeant.com/loops.htm which are now very dated but detail the loop I used when I was active on the band. The bottom ran around m
I have an interesting example of this with my PC and router. Initially when I set assembled my new PC a couple of years ago I found terrible hash from its psu on 80m and 40m. This was traced to the i
Not sure whether this has been mentioned on this reflector yet (cannot check as there are no archives...). Myself and Stewart G3YSX have already commented on the article's talk page pointing out that
All the athletics events articles use 'metres' as they were started by UK authors and it seems to have stuck, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60_metres. There was a conflict when we started the 60 m
Which is why I haven't bothered with 500kHz for ages, not being a digital mode man... I understand the new post WRC allocation will not become effective until January 2013. Under the circumstances I
Did you not see the posting a little earlier?: "Ofcom notice states that the new allocation will start on 1st Jan 2013. Exisiting NOV's can be renewed via the RSGB online to carry us through to that
