50MHz wijd open typisch ná het weekeind


very good 6m opening Monday 3 Juli 2017

many DX heard sorry not all heard DX resulted in 2-way because of  JT65 slow QSO rate
Briefly  check of CW part but no promising sounding signals.

wsjt log to search your decode

( 6m)  dx rules:
1 best DX is not during weekend's
2 good openings never repeat next day

Als vanouds ná weekend  op maandag ochtend 6M band  open  voor DX Japan Korea China
in het weekend was het dacht ik niet veel soeps.

Antenne moet toch wel echt op QTF 030 voor JA
Korea 3 stations  veel JA   China 2 stations , de 1e keer dat ik hier zelf China op het scherm zie.
Nu lukte het met BA4SI   al vaak super zacht in CW gehoord  nu met JT65  wel.

Heel vroeg open 07 UTC al eerder deze week heel vroeg rond 05 UTC  diverse USA gezien
raar tijdstip voor USA  beste was Alabama en KC0  in EM25   ander  pad moeten zijn
lange pad kan toch niet vanuit noord Nederland?


Druk met 23cm  reparatie alweer vocht in de voeding boven.
Corrosie  door water indringing bij een vorige lekkage  , nu was de behuizing droog maar door intens vochtig weer en motregen was het vocht weer gaan werken
Dan helpt het niet alles aan te laten staan, dat houd het vocht niet tegen.
Alles weer omlaag voeding open alles schoongemaakt met Tectyl ingespoten.
Beter vooraf kunnen doen.  Dit type voedingen is beslist niet voor buiten gebruik gemaakt.
 Behalve dat de spanning inzakte  kwam er ook een enorme ratel / QRN storing.
Nu  weer ok geen grote schade
Pas zaterdag avond 2100uur was ik weer QRV, op dat moment zeer sterke tropo uit G
9+40  en GB3MHZ 9+

Door late start maar 11 QSO vanuit huis
de mooie sterke tropo naar G was later op de avond weer overgewaaid.
Zondag bij PI4GN op 23cm als operator 
EI9E/p 900km  en diverse andere top afstanden op 23 OK2BTI ODX zaterdag 960km dacht ik
dik boven 400km per QSO  gemiddeld op 23cm PI4GN  echt super!
  


N1MM  general logging:
General logging could be improved by accepting ADIF from other sources like WSJT-X log.adi
 Now it will not accept importing  adif records that do not match EXACT to the general log type.
That might be a good protection for contest logs  but a handicap for general logging.
 It will make log keeping and upload LOTW more difficult and  fault vulnerable

again sorry enough i can only complain here , since  it is useless to me to contribute this to the n1mm
community i do not belong to the right church ?

USA in de ochtend, moet lang pad zijn. Had een tijdje terug ook een decode in de middag van de west kust. 73, Bas

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...
