I'm using these for 2mtr and 70cm antennas. Available for either round or square boom https://shop.nuxcom.de/product_info.php?products_id=387&MODsid=7228423eeba73bb642f6cb025a590cb1 edit: For 23cm I use these Paraclips from the UK. http://www.powabeamantennas.co.uk/G6HKS/parts.htm antenna sm.png...

Hi Terry. What sort of interest is there in ATV down your way. Anyone doing anything with DVB-S on 23cm? Be nice to try for some digital "DX" from down there up to Whyalla. I'm presently able to deliver about 50 watts on 1278MHz, 4.0Ms/s if anyone down there is able to listen or even bette...

doesn't look very english to me

Hi Grant. Don't know what's happening down Adelaide way but up north David VK5DMC at Port Pirie has almost finished putting together a digital (DVB-T) repeater on 446.500. The plan is to locate it up on the Bluff at the site of the community FM radio station. I have a DVB-S transmitter working on 12...

Ordered one of these over 2 months ago and still waiting

I agree with what you say, Tex. The UK and Canada also have lifetime licenses. But the cost of getting a license to begin with is also excessively high in Australia. You mention that licenses are free in New Zealand but let's also add that the examination fee is just $5. Compare that to what it cost...

Hi Trent What this effectively means is that the only portable activity - John Moyle FD, VHF FD etc, that carries no risk of a liability claim against the operator are those that are organised by a club that is affliliated to the WIA and therefore covered by the WIA policy. but only if the affiliat...

Getting PCBs made in China is incredibly cheap, a lot cheaper than Futurlec Can you suggest a good place in China. I ordered a pcb from Futurlec on March 8. On April 16 I received a package with someone elses boards. Got back to them and they promised to get mine out by express. Three weeks later I...

I use "I-Sound"

... It is a maximum of double sided - not multilayer. http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/sprint-layout.html Paul vk4apn I also use this one because it is so easy. Actually if needed it does allow 4 layers - top, bottom, inner 1 and inner 2. If you look at the board properties window to the right o...

. MMSSTV is a good example because all you get is a bunch of numbers to select the soundcard and I am still buggered as to which is which.

Time to grab a later version. You can now select soundcard by name and it remembers it.

A classic response from another VK6 was "I don't have any QSL cards" I received a card today from a foundation station confirming that he had heard (and read) my packet signal via the International Space Station APRS/BBS repeater. The card takes pride of place in my collection because it ...

Audio is fixed level. Yes, speaker audio is still adjustable.

Hi Ross

I've been through all that. My fix is to take the signals from the ACC socket. It doesn't matter whether the radio is in normal or satellite mode, the audio always comes from the top (main) VFO

ok... have you tried selecting print ? :) It will print via normal printers and even has a calibrate function so if your printer doesn't actually put out 1:1 you can input offsets for both x and y to get whatever printer you have to print 1:1 cheers Tim which is pretty much what i said yesterday. s...

Looking good Adam. Very professional. I find I spend most of the time looking for the library item when drawing up these schematics :lol: I successfully auto-routed a single layer board today for a QRP Tx, but I'm now struggling to output it in a form that I can print onto acetate (photo etch) or o...

Also check out "DipTrace". There is a free version available for download. For simple boards I use "Sprint Layout". It doesn't have a full featured autorouter but is very easy to use. I use both of these programs and print onto transparency film on my old HP photo printer for use...
