CQWPX CW

sudden 6m opened this afternoon first 4X1RF decoded my 6M wspr
then 9K2GS was worked 56 max at 50127  heard about 1 hour with QSB
and another 9K2OD worked they where chatting

some UR ES and SV /b weak that was it
long time not heard Kuwait.
Not new but nice DX a bit more then single hop for a change
Never expected anything to happen the bands where total dead
 with LZ1OI only non terrestrial decode at 10M
Even the DL's in south east had no decodes of VK  extreme !


CQWPX CW Only time Sunday afternoon and evening

Alleen Zondag een aantal uren mee kunnen doen
takkeweer donkere dag
Zoals verwacht 10m practisch dicht

Maar 15m was tot na middernacht open  zelfs zeer laat Japan en Hawai AH7T en Westkust USA Canada
eigelijk beter dan verwacht.
meestal weinig aanbod behalve nieuw op 40 en 80 vette pile met even sterke stations was wel lastig
100W
  465 QSO  toch nog    met veel harken..

 3517 CW 2015-05-31 2357 PA0O          599 0458   P33W          599 7136            6
tja 7136 QSO  dan valt je de bek toch open...
 de enige "DX" op 160 



28MHz    how low can you go  only non terrestrial decode LZ1OI
Even no VK's  in JO60 |JO70 JN59  and other  areas in south east DL  where
the  high band DX  usually is 100x better then here!  that is the last area if the band is closed in JN48 then  there must be a total radio blackout.

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
