some activity in U.K. !    only U.K. atm

50MHz  was good open  only single hop for us  strong  but not real DX

4X4DK  579  heard working into W0  land  !     no DX  of that sort here
and CN8KD    also into west USA...

3B9FR   QSL card was in the mail   that was a quick service of M0OXO


UBUNTU
continuing story
een ezel stoot zich geen 2 keer aan dezelfde software...
Now I installed UBUNTU on an other LAPTOP  that has no hardware issues
To find out if UBUNTU can run stable ..
This PC had W7 home SPI installed
Starting with the UBUNTU CD
The options presented are
 Format W7   and install UBUNTU

other    install  on a different partition   etc  i can not recall all  and screen capture can not be done

B.t.w this CD could automatic install U. on a new partition or I did not understand right?

I choose to run UBUNTU from CD  and  make a new U. partition by shrinking W7 partition.
Using Ubuntu GPART tool.   But the W7 partition was marked by GPART as unreadable and therefore not shrinkable.
Gpart that was presented  as easier and faster as W7 disk management?   not true!
W7 drivemanager could do that easy
then again reboot with the U CD and install
using the 2nd option install Ubuntu along W7   to be able to boot W7 or U
thats what I wanted

It installed U.  did not ask a what partition it should install dough

The reboot system  no OS choice came up  no BIOS boot message /options.
Just Ubuntu did boot!
Gone is W7 !   ?
Also boot from CD  gone!  it ends in a empty Ubuntu colored screen after some rattling of the CD player

After numerous reboots pressing esc f8 f10    the CD did boot again and GPart showed the
4 partitions  including a Linux swap  this swap is used as external memory swap it had nothing to do with booting
It seems W7 partition is still there  only it is unreachable UBUNTU does not allow W7 to boot
is it the revenge of the Linux crowd?
I choose to install U along existing W7 and that would give me a dual boot option.
But it was not told that this dual boot option can only made to work with lot of effort by skilled Linux sect members
So how now boot W7   something like GRUP2  ?
How is this dual boot W7 / U  presented to the user as a boot option menu?
I have seen a boot menu on the other Laptop that let me choose between HD and CD boot.
But nothing indicates now that there is an other boot-able OS present.

Is this UBUNTU   unusable for serious work?
Or is it a nice hobby OS project that is not yet finished.

 Looks good if it boots it connects to Wlan and USB devices quick
 But  it does not run long until the next hangup.
It did not do what it promised no dual boot  even the bios boot entry not shown
Possible that can work but not after some thorough study ?
Are the lovers of UBUNTU blind?
Do they don't  mind to reboot as in the old DOS days?

Windows might be technical inferior to Linux  but this Laptop with W7 is the only nice reliable working system right now.

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...

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...
