Undoubtedly, that makes a difference ... but how much? Does anyone have a scholarly (or even semi-scholarly, e.g., QEX, QST) citation for the amount of attenuation? I've heard anywhere from 3 dB to 3
Unless you want to set yourself up as the canonical source of triplet-to-lat/lon data ... then it's VERY useful. Ka-CHING! -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _________________
The FCC believes, in it's heart of hearts, that it's Phone regardless of the mode. At least until Title 47 of the code of federal regulations is repealed. IIRC, ARRL Field Day rules don't get that sp
Sadly, OUFTI-1 was never heard from after launch, so no D-STAR via satellite either. :-( Bart doesn't say so, but surely the same applies to DMR and YSF ... -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net |
I don't have one but it's a favorite for satellite ops because you can use it on the "linear" sats as well as the FM sats. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _________________
Got this reply from a post a little bit ago - can the owner of the list take care of this? Peter Sadly, Les Zavadil W4FRA passed away on Oct. 22, 2016. Please remove his name from your mailing list.
I do NOT have one, but I believe there is a way of using a (cheap) SDR for this. You'd have to keep your transmitted RF out of its little ears, but ... -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Trave

So, reading between the lines here, it's no longer enough that people hearing the DX/rare grid/whatever post to a cluster, now it's up to that DX/rare grid/whatever station to personally notify The D
The attitude is one of amusement. It's now vitally important that we have internet connectivity, at least at SMS levels, in order to do any kind of DXpedition. In 10 years it will be "well, we were g
Please make sure you have TQSL locations set for each location you operate from. https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/stnloc/ You can have as many locations for a callsign as you need. You need a new cert
In the US, at least in a lot of places, 144.500 - 144.900 is repeater inputs, so if you could figure a spot where there weren't any of those, maybe. But then 144.900 - 145.100 is "simplex and packet"

I get it, I guess, but at the same time class proliferation is getting kind of silly. November SS used to be Single Op Low Power (A), High Power (B), QRP (Q), and Multi-Op (M). Period. Then a bunch o

As you're probably aware, Americans assume American law is law everywhere. Our 47 CFR 97.305 does limit non-CW emission types to 144.1 - 148 MHz ... but that only applies to FCC-licensed amateurs. I
