VK Logger Ham Radio Forum Archive

I'm sorry you guys, but if you ask or get involved like i know you all have, and very helpful too many like myself I might add. Please get past what ever is sticking in the background I think you all could assist with whats left of our HOBBY. As a standard call, you look down on us and we take it on...

Weather permitting Im loading up my picnic basket, I also have a multi band grid pac ,(1296Mhz 2.4- 5.8 Ghz) maybe also 2.4 GHz transverter 10- ? wats to test. Will try after 10am @ Mt Mee. Hope there are so takers, weather maybe a problem again.

Brisbane VHF Group Club web site. Is advising in conjunction with the MAD event, the 23 on 23 event has been posted and all members have been advised of this Sunday 24th event so we can only hope for a larger amount of station roll up. I 'm having a picnic on Mt Nee so i ll pack some radios as well ...

Several of us had both FT857/897 the hidden menu was a help and the 2metre reception improved, remembering that I/we used 2 x 14 element yagis/with a mini kits preamplifier. IC910 for some, took their place on the bench with less improvement. Then I found the Elecraft K3, well the world is my oyster...

Yes Kevin I did, was doing construction work at the QTH in 2016, as I was not using it I gave it to AMG as a test rig. Turns out it was also hit by bad weather/maybe op/error prior to me boxing it up, either way he fixed it (being part Q1251 on the VRX board) and we moved on has never reoccurred.

KJ maybe this will help http://www.acma.gov.au/Citizen/Consumer ... procedures

Can we have a sensible discussion about costs on a dedicated thread or am I being too optimistic? I have read most posts and Adam has a valid point "If thing go on as normal then I will have very little chance to communicate to another ham in the future". I have gone from a foundation to a...

sounds gr8 Kev ,should be nice when you get it going ,2m probs here atm
ciao Cro

Yes Roger, It seems a lot of the contributors to this post have not read the WIA LCD paper with its changes to both the standard and foundation calls. I think some one is at least trying to help the hobby grow. If any or all is adopted I for one will be pleased with the extras for a standard call. M...

Don't forget the skin affect, never use hi tensile either bad for the body parts, has a memory

Had a great time yesterday sorry about 2.4 and 10 ghz next time. Didn t manage to contact all operators but looking at the logger after the event from the qth,we were spread far and wide heard MIL and 2MAX but unable to return the contact with them as we were running grid packs only from MtGravatt. ...

The CRO and myself will be @ QG62mk(Mt Gravatt) 23cm 2.4 and 10Ghz @ suggested time 2-5 pm good time to power up the gear for the winter field day.

fd 003.JPG We set off at 3:30 am to Cleveland Pt. qg62pl and got set up by about 5.00 am; we were up and running. We chose this location for the beach outlook and lots of sights walking,running along the esplanade always thinking and promoting the Hobby and of course our numbers were down due to th...

Must agree here Adam to most you have outlined, but as a newer microwave entrant I see work family and other commitments to hinder this end of the hobby. HF to 1296 seem easier as the commercial gear is available to buy and use, further on is great to build, but harder to set up(like find a hill),th...

Yes love the idea 160m, had a go on 160 metres a few HF contests back, what a buzz. VK6 3 5 and 2's SSB, all with a vertical No need to worry about std & F calls, just get the clubs involved if there is provision. Thanks Kevin.

Myself and VK4ne will be @ Mt Gravatt Hill QG62 from about 8:00 am onward to 10 ghz finish time. VK4MJF wrote: Have a look here for the MAD/BT Activity Day, maybe this may be of interest.

There is one thing I/we can say, what ever way its scored good or bad, I/we have found VK4WIE has slowly been adding higher bands to its field day kit and the people coming (HF) to help are also getting interested in these bands. So it can t be all that bad, we have had to do 8 hrs stints closer to ...
