VK Logger Ham Radio Forum Archive

Another registration for not integrated board ?
never heard of this site you propose

the old chat was imho not in need of alteration

As we prepare for the possible xmas season theere is a lot we cn do to improve chance after this low spot cycle , but I have to ask admin is it so hard to add chat , apart from making some contacts easier self promotion doesn't hurt surely ? Historically chat was useful and I think of benefit again ...

Let me congratulate the admin on running and maintaining the board , however I think most would agree adding the chat again would certainly increase traffic markedly , with the 6m season due the spotting use would be great , any chance ?

tnx

"VK7HH"]I have a FT-857 being used on my remote site using remote rig. It *appears* that it's deaf, however it's a bit hit and miss. I've done tests using WSPR with another station 180km who I regularly decode 10dB lower than he's receiving me. We are both running the same power. Another t...

"VK2CSW"]I am not one who chases awards so that can't be it. N I decided to give FT8 a go and have found I am able to use my radio where before it would have sat idle. Yes, that's it. That's why I like FT8, because I can actually use my radio. If that makes me a lesser operator, then I am ...

"VK4ABW"]The reason for my previous post was to show that there was 10 openings to various areas during the bottom of the cycle. This information is provided to assist other amateurs who may be interested in the new FT8 digital mode and what signal levels to expect. The positive numbers ar...

"ZL3OZ"]Do we really have to go there? I had hoped digi might stay away frm 2mtrs. Bored already with it on HF and almost bored on 6 though its usefull to stretch to other continents to explore DX paths. On 2m? we might get some more double hop, but it will be boring. I suppose somebody wi...

"VK4WDM"]The other antenna worth a mention is a magnetic loop. I am making one to try out as a receiving antenna but the reports of its directivity vary" "VK2AVR"My experience is they work pretty well as receiving loops but very hard to make it efficient enough to compare ev...

I suggest you give it a serious once over check the welds and mounting points and if unsure have them inspected professionally , alloy work hardens and with towers all the twisting makes things work a lot so a brass brush scrub will help and maybe some spray dye if questionable Rollers should be in ...

[quote="VK4WDM" Trash, did you do the flushing experiment with the seat up and down? My XYL says that there are dangerous consequences if the seat is left up. :mrgreen: Wayne VK4WDM" The answer is Wayne each have your own facilities , we do and it's great not fighting through the clut...

have you swapped the boxes ? room to room
worth a try as the thing might be cables not boxen
other thn that might have to retire the newer box retrograde ( maybe a firmware update ) or psu change

Personally imho long as the hole is filled well and doesn't make a path for the retaining wall foundation to move there should be a problem , I assume the hole will be concrete reo filled and well braced ?

Personally I prefer antix (mepis derivitive) , runs nice virtual machines like this windows machines
some excellent free soft ware out there now for most everything we need to do and once learned productivity and security increase in many environments

Inverted V calc here http://www.csgnetwork.com/antennaeivcalc.html now the v makes the dipole closer to 50Ohm , a flat element is less , possibly 25>30 ohms so you need a matching device like a beta , hairpin or gamma match or bend the elements into a v for match , a match does not prove resonance ,...
