Free Dv Thursday 6pm Est Conditions weren,t that good but did manage to have some decent Qso,s with vk3rv vk5apr vk2iuw and heard vk2dux at times and a thumping signal from the vk3chn repeater that I heard only once. Two stations which i could not get were a vkdi? and a vk5?? Anyway it was fun and h...

Hi All,

I will try and make it tonight also on FreeDV.

Hi Brian,

Was on freeDV last night and monitored for about 1 hour but heard nothing.

I think the propagation drops off about the time DV starts.

Anyway any suggestions for another night perhaps a little earlier would suit.

Copied VK3IH and VK2DUX on Feldhell last night.

Hi Paul, It was a great turnup last night on Feldhell and heard all the stations that you did apart from vk7ben. however some were a little too weak to have a qso. I will post a few screen shots to show what I did see. I was interested in some FreeDV last night too but was unsure of the freq. , mayb...

Very quiet night here as well On Hell Tuesday.

Called cq off and on for an hour or so but did manage to hear VK2KNC

Will be up agn next tuesday for another go.

Also wish to participate in the FeeDV tests as well.

Hi All,

I will try and get up this evening for the HELL show. I'll be using an ELAD on 5W and full wave loop so will be interesting.

Also often use Olivia 32/1k on 20 meters with EU and works fine even in very signal strengh.

Anyway look forward to hearing some stations tonight.

Phil VK5RM

Hi Wayne,

I think vk4wtn and I just used 50.225 when we did Olivia 32-1k.

Phil

Hi Wayne, I have tried Olivia 32/1K on 6 meters with Wayne VK4WTN many times when I was living in Brisbane with great success. Anytime you want to give it a go if you think its worthwhile give me the heads-up on the Logger. You will find some 20M Olivia 32/1k on 14.1065 9 (usb) most afternoons abt 1...

This is a better shot also showing FLdigi RTTY capture ... just after bursting @ 36,423 meters

Pico 46 is heading toward Africa over the South Atlantic then on to Australia at 170Kph at 9000 meters altitude and will hopefully complete Circumnavigation for the 3rd time. Best freq to try and catch Data is 10.1387Mhz usb using WSPR and JT9 software by K1JT Have included screenshot of latest deta...

Hi Andy, Thank you, have upgraded to the modified version. Nothing heard so far. 73 Andrew Hi Andrew, I think most of the contacts come thru on the 30m Band 10.13870 USB .Pico transmits on the hour 20 mins and 40 mins UTC for that band Same freq for WSPR and JT9 as U say, 1802Hz here. I have includ...

Yeh amazing Bob ,this is another perspective but I just hope it stays up awhile yet.

Also Bob you have a great system working there to capture data from the bird and always the first and last to see it in Oceania.

PS-46 is on its way home again and all winds pushing it to VK.

The latest position is in the South Atlantic and was last logged by ZS6BTY

Phil vk5rm

Yes well done Andy, lots of stations up and tracking.
I wonder if we will see a 2nd circumnavigation?
