I would never want to change monoband amps to a single or two "autotune" amps. Optimized homebrew monoband amps are the far better solution: - much better components, never bandswitch failures - bett
yes, use of LV6 is quite common here in Germany of course. I bought 10 for 1000,- DM, three of them were the 6m versions, that was 15 years ago. They are solid enough to be converted to other tubes a
QRP means nothing, antennas really count and the location/take off. I am stronger running QRP in certain directions then others with their Acom2000 73 Peter Denny, I gotta tell you-- As a die-hard qr
SO2R IS one transmitted signal at any time 73 Peter My first choice would be "Multi-Single" for the ARRL NOV SS !!! Why, RULES: 3.2.1. Multi-Single only 3.2.1.1. Only 1 transmitted signal is permitte
Nice photos, thank you. Unfortunately there are no three point stations in Europe. CT9L is on Madeira, Africa 73 Peter The photos from this contest are now posted at: http://asgard.kent.edu/ccc/cqwws
The Region 1 bandplan is by occupied bandwith now, not by mode. 7000-7035 is 200Hz maximum bandwith, 170Hz shift in RTTY falls into that category. I do no RTTY but I can´t imagine that all stat
For us it is much easier to listen for statesite above 3800 then within the 9+ qrm wall from stations near the frequency 73 Peter I noticed this as well last night (after commenting on Rick's post).
Indeed, all the clusters should be disconnected. Its not just the beaming info which is written, also valid qso data and cqing 73 Peter K1TTT: You think these cheerleaders are bad? You should see the
I never found dx clusters of any value for me. When it started in the eighties I tried it, but found myself not tuning the bands anymore. Have not used it since then in the shack. 73 Peter So we get
Interesting... How do they decode a conventional RTTY, SSB or CW transmission with a decoder only useful for decoding multitone FSK? Please explain! 73 Peter I know other people using WSJT in Contest
Very unlikely, since the cw signal is not changing phase like a flying object it will be supressed in the radar receiver. 73 Peter On the other hand, over the horizon backscatter from an ICBM has got
They did 2404 qso´s on 160m in 2006 73 Peter Year Number of DA0HQ 160 QSO's 2006 1186 2005 2390 2004 2139 2003 1720 Quite a remarkable drop in 160 meter daytime propagation within DL last year,
I took those figures from the DA0HQ website: http://www.stud.tu-ilmenau.de/~df0hq/DA0HQ_ger/stats/summary06.htm 73 Peter That's not what is in the ARRL scores database at http://www.arrl.org/members-
The typical 160m daylight range easily covers Germany and 80000 hams when sitting right in the middle of the country. I still miss the answer and the proof to my question which are the "some IARU mem
Hi Frank, Yes, you are right. A lot of my German fellow hams only do qsos with DA0HQ during that contest and work nobody else, not even other Germans, just to get a sprint award or the 12-Band qsl ca
I will certainly not participate. It´s not possible to reach a good score by entering the used frequency with the qso 73 Peter Hello EU contesters! Just to remind you... All EU contesters (EU a
When I do CW contests (qrp only) I use cwget for the stations calling with speeds above 40wpm+, helps to to lower frustration and spares time. For them I adjust my speed sligthly higher then theirs a
At least that explains something, small capacity changes, especially at a current node effectively retune antennas. Wonder why one has to to buy a book to get aware of that. 73 Peter Regarding KT-34X
Hi Ranko, You are wrong, we are not allowed to have signals across band edges. We need to know the bandwith of our signal and the mode to be sure we are within band limits. We are not allowed to use
With our regulation emissions outsite a band must be a minimum of 40db down and bandwith must be limited to 2,7KHz. That means that less then 75mW above 14350KHz are just acceptable. To obtain that o
