It occurred to me that a possible use of a Skimmer-type application might be for propagation analysis. Given that: a. Skimmer and a wideband IF to feed it (either from an outboard Softrock or the rig
Maybe we could learn something about 160M propagation. Bill W5VX It occurred to me that a possible use of a Skimmer-type application might be for propagation analysis. Given that: a. Skimmer and a wi
For pure propagation analysis you shouldn't care if the station is cqing or not. Lots of information can be gleaned from listening to pileups for dx that you can't hear, but you can hear who is calli
Yes, I do that of course, although it is pretty obvious that a lot of stations are calling DX they can't hear either. That wasn't my point, though. I wouldn't care whether the station was CQ'ing or n
I believe this could be implemented without requiring that grid square be embedded within the transmission. Also, in the process, busted calls could be eliminated. By looking up the call in a DB. I t
But it doesn't matter if THEY can hear the dx, nor if you can, if you can hear a station calling someone else you can look up their address and populate the map even if they don't send a grid square
AB7E: My thought was that Skimmer could be written to capture the grid square of ALL of the stations it heard if that were part of the report. Small step is required on behalf of hamradio community i
I don't get it. What good does that do? I was trying to point out that a broad use of Skimmer (or similar application) could create a global propagation map that would be extremely useful for analysi
OK, that must have been what K1TTT was talking about. Yes ... for the majority of stations with accurate address info in the various callsign databases, callsign alone would provide pretty much every
