60m + foto HF/6m combie antenne RusianDX



Ik dacht dat ik er abonnement op had  de 60m ZS decodes, enige tijd was ik zelfs de enige in EU die ZS decodes had maar dat was plotseling over. Change of season ?
Na lange onderbreking en vele flessen Zuidarikaanse  wijn later weer eens
de  Zuid Afrikanen  in WSPR op 60m terug
 ZS1OA  ontbrak nog anders was het kwartet kompleet geweest

HF + 6m  5ele  combie  (cm)    SWR  1: 1.5    op 40 20 15 10 6m    30m H2000  22m hoogte b.g.
( daarboven  5 ele 4m  23m b.g.)
De antenne werkt  normaal zoals je van een  een yagi mag verwachten  f/b  20dB  swr goed
De HF dipool is resonant en heeft een goede swr op 4 banden.  Wel wat verliezen in de traps.
Redelijke hoogte  meestal laag QRM niveau alles oké toch zou je denken.

RusianDX  mooie 24uur contest, zeer veel activiteit had wel meer QSO's verwacht.
Veel perioden zonder reply  na  600 QSO gestopt  te veel running on empty.
Lang niet volledige tijd meegedaan maar al zou ik dat willen over de 1000 leek niet haalbaar.
Paar QSO's op 28MHz , activiteit genoeg in de RusianDX
VK9CK op 10m maar niet! in de contest snel verder draaien...

2011-01-22 DIAMOND 2m 70cm 1m30 Colinear inside

Having relative poor signals on the local 70cm / 2m channels using this X50 Diamond collinear 70/2  1m antenna at a height of 25m. I needed to investigate what could be wrong. Measuring the cable only 3W is left for the antenna of the 10W 435MHz output from a IC451E The cable is 30m type H100 Z50 10mm outside diameter it is semi air-spaced but has an impossible 4mm² solid CU inner conductor not much air left. I preferred the H43 Z75 cable having lower loss and mechanical better ratio in conductor size. My antenna uses SO239 connector UHF type semi air spaced isolator.  3W should be enough for a comfortable noise free FM signal. But only 27km away at PA0A the signal is weak too weak something must be wrong? I made a simple reference dipole of 2x17cm CU wire. With this dipole the signals where totally worse. So the Diamond does work? I got curious to look inside. Maybe moisture penetration degraded the antenna. This  antenna is rainwater close in its n...

SPF5189z Low noise preamp 23cm

 14-4-2018 updated Above the low noise  preamp 50 - 4GHz    ebay  6€ Tested  2 small porto antennas 1 Baofeng UV antenna left   2nd best signal on PI2NOS 2 eBay DIAMONDSRH805S  wide band 144/432/1200  it works for its size as expected 3 piece of wire :   best signal in the setup... Unit under test at workbench. It was stable  50mA  at 5V   few days,  but sudden the current went up to 100mA And i could  no longer adjust it with the negative bias Voltage. The - Voltage went to zero and the SPF input port became low Z. This SPF5189z was broken  no oscillations, no input overload just it broke while i was receiving the PI2NOS 430.125 using a small antenna at the workbench. The specs of  SPF5189z  say it has an internal circuit  regulating the bias current. Replaced . again   with an other of the 5 spare SPF i have. The new one again could be adjuste...

TS790 cat interface

A CAT interface  for the old TS790 144/432/1292 tranceiver to work with N1MM  including the internal CW keyer DTR and "PTT" RTS and WSJT MSHV with "PTT" control Using the 3€ FTDI USB serial interface picture bottom page first i bought the Kenwood USB serial interface cable that cable has the TS790 special 6 pin DIN plug this interface works well ...as long as you cut the 4-5  wire bridge on the ACC din.. with the wire bridge it did go offline after 30 seconds or so  Kenwood interface cable with CH330 eBay 15€    This type Kenwood interface cable uses a tiny 6 pin USB CH330 chip  The driver is CH340 known for Arduino it workes in W7/10 64  It has only TX RX Usart function no DTR RTS available  The TS790 settings are 4800b 8bit data 2 stop  default  N1MM does not list the TS790 it has the TS890  but that one does not support modes the TS2000 does support freq and modes and let you switch 2/70/23 it seem...
