Yes, good news indeed. It's going to be hard to hit +10dBW...time to put in a bid for that big power tetrode on e-bay. 7.5 kW should do the trick ;-) ebay - 160225388175 73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM --Origi
Dear LF, There's an article about 500 kHz permissions on the Irish Radio Transmitters Society (IRTS) web-site, here:- http://www.irts.ie/cgi/thisweek.cgi There's also a form to be filled in to expres
LF, Congratulations to Harry G3MFW for putting a very strong signal into IO91RM. Screenshot attached. Mike G3XDV also captured on the screenshot. Signal strengths measured on my "Tee" antenna with th
Yes, Perhaps we should use American or Railroad Morse code for the day to commemorate Morse's birthday! (NB, Morse Code was was originally developed to be sent and received by machine) http://en.wiki
Nice HELL copy from Wolf and Jim this morning. 73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM Attachment: DK4U_1010z_26_Apr_2009.gif Description: GIF image Attachment: M0BMU_1010z_26_Apr_2009.gif Description: GIF image
Rik, LF, I use a Murata 1 Mhz resonator, divided by two for a 500 kHz direct-conversion RX. It drifts about 10 Hz per hour, about the same as your 4 Mhz unit. It tunes the whole 500 kHz band with a 1
Hi, Richard. Your signals are much better than yesterday. You are RST 549 with the usual QSB and QRN. I couldn't hear you at all yesterday, and your signals were only just visible using "Argo". 73, D
Laurie, I've just found a link to QuartzLab, who will handle small orders and one-offs.For example from their web-page, crystals in the range 2.0 to 4.0 MHz are £14.03 Go to:- http://www.quartslab.co
Dennis, G3XIZ is in CW QSO with GW3UEP right now (2103z,)on 502.3 and 501.1 kHz (Check the G3YXM grabber on www.wireless.org.uk 73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM Hi! I just reconfigured my RX to 0.5MHz, and appr
Laurie, McKnight and Hy-Q used to advertise in RadCom. They may still be trading. Addresses below. IQD are also around, but I don't know if they deal with hobbyists, like us! What frequency/style are
Richard, Andy, LF, I can hear the G4JNT beacon clearly in South Devon with a 2m tuned loop during the daytime, and that's probably more like 250km. G3XIZ is also a strong daytime signal, again at ove
Gus, Your SSB is about readability 4, signal strength 5 in QSB, with lots of static crashes. It sounds like you might need a bit of audio processing/compression to boost your "talk power". My RX is a
Amazing! I heard a couple of NDBs, "LAA" and "LI". You can also see what frequencies the other users are using, which is interesting in a curious way! 73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM Now covers LF/MF: http://w
LF, Good signals from SAQ received here this morning. Signal was -83dBm, against background noise of -94 dBm. Some QRN & static crashes. Antenna is my regular 20m "tee" at 5m, RX is W&G SPM-30. 73, D
Hi, Jim. Nothing heard here yet...and no signals on the G3YXM grabber either, at the moment. I'll keep monitoring for a while. 73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM nr Windsor S E England. Sorry but I meant 502.5KHz
LF, SAQ was good copy at 1200 UTC also. The spacer between characters was visible on Spectran. This time my RX was an ICOM IC-PCR1000 with a VLF upconverter to 7.017 MHz Short sound sample attached.
Hi, Jim. I'm copying your beacon OK here at 20:30z Measured signal levels (signal path includes a tuned pre-amp) are:- beacon -63 dBm, -69 dBm, -77 dBm, -83 dBm, and the last dash is below the noise
Dear Jim, Visual trace with "Argo", but too weak to copy by ear. Screenshot attached. 73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM nr Windsor S E England. Hi, Jim. Nothing heard here yet...and no signals on the G3YXM grabb
