Dave, thanks for trying. My travelling didn't happen so I was around today after all, however, as we now know the signal didn't switch off. My thanks to Peter for developing a special piece of softwa
Sorry John, I don't know the times, but I seem to recall seeing a posting from someone on this reflector recently alluding to the "usual first Tuesday in the month" maintenance at Rugby, also known a
Without wishing to raise hopes too much, we may be getting close to Ofcom agreeing to issues a few Special Research Permits (SRP) for operation in the band 501 - 504kHz within the UK. It is expected
I should have added that it might be reasonable to add a separate sheet with the issue about field-strength, assumptions and how you arrived at the figure in the RFI assessment box 73 John, G3WKL Jim
Mal, see the answer to Jim's query. I really wouldn't make a big issue of this. If Ofcom are concerned about whatever we put in for the near-field assessment I feel sure that we will be able to resol
Jim, thanks for raising this issue. The SRP is a generic form that often is related to "experiments" with people asking for permission to run high power (for EME, MS, HF, etc), where the field-streng
Ofcom has announced today that a limited number of SRPs will me made available for 12 months from 1st March. See http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/ifi/licensing/classes/amateur/Notices/200 70221 and
John, you need to understand that we submitted the proposal to our regulator in Sept 2004, so it takes its time over here also. Well done, Dave. Hopefully, there will be some more to follow soon. 73
Pete, I would suggest that you mention the work that you have done at 136kHz, etc 73 John, G3WKL --Original Message-- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]
I'm busy building a DDS, but if that fails to work in a sensible timescale I'll need to be xtal controlled, so an agreement where we might cluster for QRSS/DFCW might be worthwhile. This might also b
Walter, individuals will need to apply to use their licence so it will be a little while before any SRPs are issued; hopefully, in time for the 1st March. experimental access they are expecting us to
I'm not keen on another reflector, but someone made a comment a week or so ago that made sense, which was to prefix the title of 500kHz postings. I don't think the suggestion would work in all cases,
I've rather (too) quickly put a few links on the RSGB Spectrum Forum website aimed at helping newcomers to 500kHz. These are people who have not perhaps had the full baptism with 136kHz, so may appre
Well done Dave to get your station operational so quickly. The results are very interesting at the power level that you were using. Sadly I was in a pub having a meal last evening, so missed the fun.
Mal, sorry I don't know what's been issued as my input is early in the process. 73 John, G3WKL --Original Message-- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]
Re the previous e-mail, which I am not sure got reflected, the guidelines for SRP applicants can now be viewed at http://www.rsgb-spectrumforum.org.uk/ofcom_501kHz_%20srp.htm 73 John, G3WKL RSGB HF M
With several stations likely to be transmitting this weekend and as I will most likely be speaking with Ofcom on Monday re some of the applications under consideration, it would be helpful to the cau
In the discussion that I am currently having with Ofcom over the RFI assessment for 501-504kHz applications, the question has been raised as to whether interference has been noted with nearby neighbo
I've had one of the above field-strength meters for a while and could do with sight of an manual / circuit diagram. Done a search on the web, but with no luck. Can anyone offer any assitance with inf
Chris, your experiments of measuring ERP are interesting. How close is the result that you obtained with that derived from aerial modelling and aerial current measurement? To what extent do you think
