Hello Rik and all LFers, I wish we could convince the developers to bring back JT9-2, JT9-5 and JT9-10 at least! I would even like to see JT9-30 supported. I believe these slow modes would allow for
Thanks for this Stefan. Reason to go on trying then. Maybe I can find an old PC with Windows XP or 7 on it to play with. Yes of course. I expect that but one still needs useful tools. I am a thrill s
I have been told the last version to support it is 095r3278. That's the one I have which does not work correctly under Win 10. I just tried it again. One problem is that trying to adjust the waterfal
Hello Chris, Dual boot would serve no useful purpose that I can see. Whatever version I run needs to run all of my shack software which is a 24/7/365 task. If I were convinced it would help, I would
Sounds interesting, Andy. Please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't PSK require linear amplification? If so, it would eliminate many potential QSO partners. Regarding EbNaut, my understanding was
Hi Stefan, I think the problem with the 4 character locator could be WSPRnet. You may have to do some work to get the 6 character locator into the system. You can read more about this here: http://qr
For several hours there has been a very strong carrier on 137.000 kHz. I have seen this before but only for an hour or two at a time. It has been there today for at least 8 hours, maybe longer as I d
Thanks John, I have seen it at least three times before, sometimes with modulation, sometimes without. But only for an hour or two. It's strong enough here that I have to notch it or else it hinders
Hello Chris, I must say I am surprised. Apparently there were no EU stations transmitting! It's still horribly noisy over here. I hope it begins to quiet down soon. Paul
Not since July when I got the new PA running. If it's still noisy there and you are hearing me, perhaps during the quiet months I will be strong enough for that 5 minute JT9 QSO. ;-) Paul
I'm afraid I can't help with that one. I spent some time trying to figure out how to implement SWR and over current protection but didn't come up with anything. I'll just have to use the FETs as sacr
Interesting. It remains to be seen how many FET deaths will occur here. Perhaps running them at 36V maximum (summer) will help them survive less than ideal operating conditions. I was a bit worried a
Although it will be some years before I can have the necessary equipment to run EbNaut I am *very* interested in QSO modes, so I want to comment on this. Please use more than 12 character messages. R
LF is improving, finally. Last night I received a WSPR transmission from EA5DOM for the first time. My signal is being heard by several stations across the Atlantic recently. I am still transmitting
Hi Luis, I am happy to provide your first TA report on LF! :-) I hope I can give you many more. It's still a bit noisy here from lightning to the south, even if it is cold and snowing here yesterday
I agree. The station is either using remote receivers around the world (more than one location) or just making up fake spots to upload to WSPRnet. I do not believe he could hear Europe stronger than
Hi Luis, Markus, LF This is a very interesting topic for me too. My antenna resistance is very high, usually more than 100 ohms. I think there may be a few reasons. There are trees near the antenna w
Hi Markus, Nice to see you reporting my station again! I am very surprised to see how many reports I get from across the pond, but I think location has a lot to do with it. :) There is a reason DXers
Thanks Jay and Laurence for weighing in on this. Like many amateur radio operators I am not likely to have opportunity to take field strength measurements, though I wish I could. It seems to me it mu
