24 July 144MHz world record

24 July  a special ES day

A new world record was set:  144 MHz   D41CV  with DK5AI  4964km !!!
 the magic WW square JO50 where all DX signals seem to land

 144.174 FT8
EA8DBM was worked more south in PA   his signal stopped at JO22 JO32


absolute spectaculair DX
TF3HP  reported   EA8DBM    144174 MHz!!!!!!

This year 144 ES  in my QTH was  disappointing sofar
I had my home build 200W PA ready but hardly used.
DX spots seen on the cluster never landed here it was mostly south as usual
Just 1   144.300 ES  QSO  with IS0OZK    FT8 only EA1 SV1 heard
144.300 SV8PEX in QSO  max s4 German speaking relaxed talking then faded

My 144 best  tropo was  EA1MX  this time in FT8

1296MHz there we had good propagation but during working day's
best DX  1227km with Guy in USB and CW very close to EA border
20190629 09131296129.3 CW   PA0O         599  F2CT            559 Guy     in93gj   

In the same square heard  Spanisch beacon EA2TZ 1296.855 1280km heard weak 2 mornings
and ES0SHF 1296.908  1241km  for the first time

ES season is going to the end almost August
We had 6m ES  2 massive openings JA and Korea  7 Koreans heard  1 DS new worked
To the west Dallas TX was the best DX  no west coast  no XE heard like last year

I run out of QSL cards for direct answer
I prefer  LOTW   but  will answer all direct cards asap

Hallo Jaap, direct QSL....dat is haast eeuwen geleden zeg. Van mijn contacten met JA op 6m niks geen QSL gehad. Misschien via bureau? 73, Bas

hoi Bas ja dat was al even geleden dit soort mail...

trouwens heb jij al eens WSJT-x vanuit N1MM gebruikt?
WSJT-x V2.1 kun je binnen N1MM laden
Ik heb dat geprobeerd maar ik kon allen rx FT8 tx werkt niet

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 normal vertical mounting posit

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 adjusted at 50mA  5V  The current raises to 150mA  when removing the  negative gate voltage. Where is that internal bias cir

BIJZEN mast en ontwerp fouten.

In 2013 heb ik een Bijzen aluminium mast 3 x7m  opgehaald  bij iemand die hem niet mocht plaatsen Gemeente Oss  dat zegt misschien al genoeg.. Pas in 2018 heb ik hem geplaatst had ik veel eerder moeten doen. Mooie mast, mijn xyl vond hem zelfs mooi. Hij is licht, de 3 delen wegen  235kg  het vaste deel 102kg dus het te lieren gedeelte weegt   slechts 133kg + ca 50kg rotor + antennes etc.  De elektrische lier is wel erg zwaar 30kg misschien wel maar die zit onder    Antenne  3ele Steppir  19kG  +  G2500DXC rotor: 3.6kg  + rotorbuis 12 kg  +  kabels 10kg  + 5/7 ele 6m beam. ongeveer 50kg Je moet niet te dichtbij  kijken, dan valt op dat het Aluminium lastwerk heel slordig is gedaan, scherpe bramen aan de lassen waar kabels door kunnen worden beschadigd of haken Er is zeer ! weinig ruimte voor de rotor een YAESU G2500DX past net maar dan ook net  met beetje buigen van  kruisverband. Het Rotor platform kan wel een meter hoger dat geeft meer  buislengte boven het zit nu op 3.5 meter van het
