If you put in simply "NF2RS" it will give suggestions, like in this case NF2RS-6: 2015-09-13 11:46:08 In FN23nd QRV 144190: FN23nd calling CQ (via http://www.roverstatus.info) --Original Message-- __
Hey all, Looks like newbie topics have taken off in the 3 days it's taken me to finish refining my ideas but I hope you have stamina for a couple more. :) Has anyone ever mapped (and published) the Q
I'm not aware of an established frequency for JT65 on 220 or higher bands. I really wanted to try yesterday around 432.076 yesterday (consistent with the .076 everywhere else) but chickened out as th
For us poor people who can't afford lots of transverters (and aren't quite smart enough to tear down satellite gear from Ebay), I have been thinking of repurposing a wireless access point for raw htt
For roving purposes I like the idea of keeping the simplicity of a single antenna but still handling those unexpected "hey, do you have 220?" moments. Faster set up, tear down, easier to transport an
Speaking of VHF contesting, and my ongoing poor results with my below-roof-mounted 2m beam at the home QTH, I figured I would ask the experts here for some advice. Operating under the knowledge that
Wow, thanks for all the feedback. It sounds like the anecdotal evidence varies, so maybe I need to look up those absorption articles and spend some time to do objective calculation at my frequencies
Although 6m is a great band, my primary interest is in 2m & 440, and really I would like to get more active on 220, 33cm (yes really), and 23cm. I only mention this because the line-of-sight, tree pe
All, I hope this is moderately on-topic... my miniVNA Tiny had a cold solder on the jack which led to partial detachment. Long story short, I opened it up and between myself and a solder tech at our
Hey all, I'm seeking an 1.2GHz antenna for the upcoming (Oct 8) sprint. Any recommendations, or perhaps even available equipment? Thanks! I'm also still "sprinting" to get 220 ready for Tuesday... go
Right, key to "VHF contesting" is having participants! I even announced the FM-only category in the then-upcoming Sept VHF contest ON A TWO METER NET, and still bupkis. Maybe we need annual simplex
All, Currently I have several radios which have native coverage of V/U bands, and am looking to get rid of one or two. While I have them all, though, it seems like a great time to do a TRUE side-by-s
Hey all, I've been considering augmenting the park-and-go rover setup with a push-up mast. However, I have noticed that the Rohn H50, etc., explicitly state that they are "not recommended" for use wi
I make it a point to operate terrestrial JT65 for at least a couple hours of the contest. I'd certainly encourage others to do so... after all, it's made for digging really quiet signals out of the
Thanks for the post. I've been putting together one of these transverters in kit form, so it's good to see the info. Whether it's you or someone else, I would love to see a ground-up, well-documente
Hi all, I have a need for some coax harnesses of specific electrical length (impedance matching, phasing harnesses, antenna feeds, etc.), and unfortunately I don't have the time or working equipment
Depending on one's objectives, the Ukrainian 222 transverters are only about $100, and when properly adjusted they provide decent signal quality. If you luck out and find a DEMI one for cheap ("only
Is there a certain aspect you're thinking of that makes it "out of reach" for the 736R? I don't have a 736 but some web searching seems to suggest "The 2nd IF of 13.690 MHz can be tapped at the emitt
As to the original post, IRC (internet relay chat) is very low-bandwidth (text only, but with some keep-alive ping traffic) and has easy-to-use clients on almost any platform. If you really want a no
All, After much fiddling, I've got the beginnings of my 220 beacon together, and I figured what better time to test than the 222-Tuesday before the VHF contest, while everyone's out testing their 220
