}:[ I am sure the ACMA will review the submission and meeting minutes and give it their utmost attention. I mean they will give it the most serious and urgent consideration, and insist on a thorough and rigorous examination of all the proposals, allied to a detailed feasibility study and budget anal...

The VK9WA team should be ferrying their gear to the Islet as I write( 2100 hrs GMT). I expect they will be up ...

A fun project. A GPS controlled clock that is highly configurable, even an alarm option. http://qrp-labs.com/clockkit.html BUT the surprise is the sensitivity of the GPS engine section with just its own patch antenna. I live in an old Queenslander house, the picture is taken in my shack at ground le...

Hi guys, I have a IC-T70A that I am trying to program via pc. I purchased a FTDI USB lead from E-Bay (OPC-i478). I have the CS-T70 software and have also tried Chirp. - the COM port settings - Cloning cable conections - transceiver power is on. The PC is running Windoz 7 64bi. I have tried it in XP...

Hi Doug Did you see the CMPS10 compass that I did several years ago, had a demo of it at Redcliffe. Rex cmps10 breadboard.JPG Breadboarded this based on CMPS10 and Arduino. Took about 30 minutes beginning to end. Needs significant polish to make it look better and add features as outlined by Rex, V...

Nice and simple setup for elevation control but I got to ask where did you get the green element mount from. Been looking for those things for a while so I can build my next 2M yagi. Cheers Robert VK4LHD They are Stauff Clamps part 112,0A PP SHELL - when I bought them they were AUD$1.20 per pair. T...

I have been using EZNEC since its early DOS versions - late 1990's. There is a learning curve initially, there are many many antenna files available on the web to play with for EZNEC. As already mentioned you need to look out for "limited" free versions. FWIW, the author of EZNEC has also...

There is also a cheap homebrew option.

I have built both this version and the original - they both work well. I also have the AADE meter for over 20 years now - it works well, as others have stated.

I have sent a message to them via their website asking that 6m be included and offering help in finding an antenna they could borrow. I will post results here. 73 Wayne VK4WDM I have a light weight 3 element 6M yagi if required. They usually depart to Willis from Cairns? So easy to arrange collecti...

Hi everyone Would this grid-pack be a good buy or should I try to source a small yagi? (I believe Comet make one). Wayne VK4WDM I have the grid pack antenna from this company. It works very well with my meager 1 watt. It is physically well made with the grid made from cast aluminium together with s...

One question for Paul - I take it you used the mic gain on that channel to attenuate the levels being fed to the radio? (In addition to judicious setting of the MixOut level). Yes exactly, very easy to get levels correct. Especially if you have radios that require quite different mic levels. Paul v...

Hi All, A bit of a left field question. Does anyone use condenser microphones? If so, how do you supply the power? The obvious ways (from a sound engineers view) is to run it from a desk with the MixOut as the audio source for the radio, or to use a mic preamp - either way you will get the phantom ...

I have built and used these keyers. http://k1el.tripod.com/K42_C.html - pros can use keyboard, reasonable CW reader, bit expensive, well finished case. http://www.idiompress.com/k5.php#kit - still works well over 20 years old technology now. http://www.hamgadgets.com/ULTRA-PICOKEYER - this is their ...

I have just finished building the Ultimate 3 WSPR (and other modes) kit. See http://www.qrp-labs.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50 This kit is an elegant piece of design, with use of modern "smarts" DDS gen, Atmega MCU, LCD, a couple of fets and some smart firmware. Add...

I hadn't read this thread until now, but had same scam email from him this week - so he has been busy.

I thanked him for his generous offer but declined and referred him FHI to the ScamWatch site. http://www.scamwatch.gov.au/content/ind ... mId/693900
