Re: Converted CH0 six meter amplifiers 24 volts Melbourne TV broadcast system
Not a problem Mike,
Couple of things:
They are 28v and not 24v.
You can't legally run more than 120w pY on digital

Hi Mike,
Maybe it is the NEC V360 TR PA?

Nice work Darrell.
I enjoy our 23/13/9cm contacts.
When are you building the 10GHz station

Re: Antennas for 3.4 GHz
Hi Haydan,
Not sure what you mean about " middle of the N connector"?
Do you mean from the end of the little flange that pokes into the can or the inside of the can to the tip?

Re: Antennas for 3.4 GHz
Haydan,
For the probe length on your cantenna, did you measure from the inside of the can to the tip or the top of the N inner connector that pokes into the can slightly?

Re: 23-on-23 + MAD: Sunday February 23, 2020
The Wyong Field Day occurs on the 23rd in VK2 so probably not a lot of MAD activity from here.
There will certainly be activity from the Western Sydney group from 8 till 9PM on the 23rd.
See you there. (Wyong and 23cm)

Hi Mark,
Interesting.
VK2RNG is not listed in the ACMA database.
I can hear it at 5/3 on 147.3
Input 147.9 no CTCSS required

Hi Matt,
No, that was a fake spot just to get you interested
Actually, a "feature" on VKSpotter when no QRA square is entered.
Need to get the damn human bean who coded that to fix it
