Morning Chaps and Chappesses Good copy here over the Pole - the QRN levels were quite high but tight use of the Noise blanking on Speclabs helped a lot - better sigs than the Christmas broadcast. Tun
http://kl7l.com/saq10241510z.jpg I was expecting it to be poor but not bad signals really - audible levels with occasional QRN breaks, About 10dB weaker than JXN and about the roughly the same streng
good CW read with some QRN - one of the clearest transmissions Ive heard - some qsb in the middle of the text but very good http://kl7l.com/saq242015.jpg Laurence KL7 L bp51ip Alaska
SAQ very strong here this time, in North East England.(IO94PJ). Very little QRM so 5/7. Using Laptop with speclab and also a Plessey PR155 and an AOR 5000. All on a 132ft doublet with no ATU. Dave...
Excellent reeption of SAQ on 17.2 kHz this morning. A brief CW message was received 0800-0804 utc with a 100m Rotated L aerial ~20m high, National LF-10 preselector and Canadian Marconi XH100. 73 MX
Hello all, The first scheduled transmission of SAQ today has been received very well here. There are still 2 more transmissions today: starting 10:15 UTC with a messagae at 10:45 UTC and 12:15 / 12:4
Hi Roelof, The second and third SAQ transmissions were also clearly copied using the SM6LKM converter/FT-817 and your mini-whip design. This was the first time SAQ was heard here using a mobile RX. I
Hello Joe, The design is slightly different. I use now 2 J310's parallel and Rs = 560 ohm. Supply voltage can be anything between 4 and 20 V, whilst the current draw is 7 mA. The output transformer i
Hi Roelof, I compared the original miniwhip with the new eco version (single SMT J310, 10Meg across the gate) and initially found it much noisier. The problem was inadequate bypass capacitance for th
Thanks for reminding Laurence, The tuning procedure started 13:07 UTC. They send endless VVV until 13:26 UTC. But then there was no message! Obviously they had a problem. I heared a tone with falling
Hi Laurence and Stefan, group. Bits and pieces of a transmission were copied until 1707 on an ft-817/SM6LKM converter/ miniwhip as a portable operation on the shore of the pond at the university toda
