A bit off topic, but you don't often see this type of auction. Great if you are looking for test equipment or even a nice 4 wheel drive vehicle with pump up mast. perfect for a little MF portable thi
A quiet evening on MF here today. Tried WSPR at 500mW EIRP for an hour and a half around 20.00UTC Received by 18 with best at around 1000km. Very nice to see PI9ESA on the list. This is the club stat
Hello Group, Planning a new single-ended Class E PA for my activities on the Dreamers Band (8.27 kHz) two questions came up - perhaps someone can help me: - Being interested only in on-off-keying I
Hi Chris. Not sure I have a solution for the circuit you have. However, it may be worth not using the 180 degree outputs from the Silab oscillator. Have you thought about the advantages of a FET dr
Hi all. Does anyone here understand the split function in WSJT-X ?? Having spent an hour looking at my radio, I can see no difference between selecting 'none' 'rig' or 'fake it'. Unless I am missin

Hi all I am now QRV for a while on 475kHz from a remote site away from the ever increasing background noise in London. To make some QSOs I will try and be on the band each night at about 20.30 for E
Isn't the QV picked up from the registration details on WSPRnet ? I've been caught out a few times like that moving locations within IO91 only to have the wrong location placed on the map despite the
sorry for the off topic chat...... Mi Mal. There is also a patch for Nova on Win 7. I have it running on Win 7 64bit without issues although after about a year it all goes horribly wrong and I need
Hi all. Can I say thanks to everyone who has participated in the 'activity periods' each night from 20:30 UTC. My remote site has been running for a week now and each evening there have been new stat
Hi Paul. I have been looking at wspr reports from your station and using those to decide when / if to switch to JT9 If I see reports about -22, then it's certainly worth a try. The other evening's pe
Hi Mal. Sorry, the 2.4GHz TX is the hard bit. No spares I bought a 20 (or 25W) amplifier from a chap on ebay called Pyro Joe. He is based in Florida and sells lots of surplus amplifiers. I intend
Hi Mal Most of the LNBs designed for HD TV have a PLL for low phase noise. These have 'acceptable' drift for CW and SSB QSOs......Just let them warm up for 10mins before you use them. (or fit a TCXO
I was very pleased this evening 06/March/19 to complete a JT9-1 QSO with Paul N1BUG on 137kHz. Paul and I have been trying almost nightly for the past 3 weeks overcoming many problems along the way.
