I'd recommend fitting only one of 1.8 kHz filters, on the 8 MHz IF. I have both of them, but keep the 455 kHz one off most of the time. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VE3EA ___________________________________
Randy, are you suggesting the use of cluster to be disallowed in future RDXCs? 73, Sinisa YT1NT, 4O3A op in RDXC 2010 _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contes
Away from the passband, the ONLY thing that is SURE about filter input is a high reflection coefficient, not any particular level of impedance. High reflection coefficient may mean any of these: shor
Have you tried to estimate the difference in frequency from the station that popped-up, and the others? The easiest way to reliably estimate relative frequencies is to make an audio recording, and an
True, but UN didn't. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VE3EA _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest
Rules are very clear on this. Assuming top unassisted score of 10 points, unassisted guy gets 1000, and assisted guy gets 1400. 73, Sinisa YT1NT _______________________________________________ CQ-Co
This clearly sets the top unassisted score as a common reference for both assisted and unassisted participants. 73, Sinisa YT1NT _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing li
The first test should be for horizon obstructions. Using Radio Mobile by VE2DBE and 1 arc-second SRTM maps determine the visual horizon as seen from the antenna position. An excellent QTH will have h
HFTA is a great tool, no doubt about it. But there are certain preconditions that must be met if HFTA results are to be trusted. Attempts to use HFTA outside of its domain are a waste of time. The fo
A good source of practical information is NBS Technical Note 139 "Siting Criteria for HF Communication Centers" by William Utlat: https://archive.org/download/sitingcriteriafo139utla/sitingcriteriafo
I cannot be sure, but judging from the 2-page SignalPro brochure, it is quite unlike HFTA. It seems to be intended for end-to-end modelling of communication links, more in the line of what Radio Mobi
