17 JUNE 2017 BIG ES 144


+++ ATTENTION: 15:30 UTC - HIGH MUF +++
+++    Amazing ES event on June, 16th. Data of more than 2350 QSO already arrived. Please send your logs!    +++
                    source  MMMonHF

fantastic long opening
Starting 9:57   144.311 UR3EE
12:47  last signal heard R3KK  529 CW cqcqc KO90  did not hear me

some very strong signals UR3EE 9++
                                        UT4UEP  9++
 and others over S9
mostly SSB

Using the  FT225RD  30W   +  3el    DK7ZB   223 3 bander
FT225 digi noise and birdies very sensitive receiver
managed to contact 9 Oekraine

UR3EE KN88DC
 UZ2HZ   KN69RA  hrd
UT4UEP  KN49WV
UR5VFJ   KN69OA
UR5ETN   KN78CL  HRD
US0GB  hrd
UT7EL    KN77en  59 x 59
UY7QN  59 * 59 KN77mj
UR5UI    59 *59  KN59BS
UR3CT                 KN59RS
UR3LX    59 hrd
UT7EW  59 * 59 KN78mn
UR2UR
UW5EGT 59 * 59 KN67pw
R3KK       529 hrd  KO90


had to leave     between 11:40 --- 12:47   Oekraine signals 144 still 9++
possible  LO or LN  main squares missed?
but i had to leave..

I wonder why most VHF hams need to exchange Locator in every QSO
even when signals can fade out fast
and why most VHF HAMs do not use LOTW

all activity was concentrated  close to 144300 MHz
FM QSO are reported too huge signals at times

AP2AM seen at 50MHz  in JT65 but huge pile of very strong  competitors
would be a new one
heard at my new made 7el in test at 5m  a.g.

went  QSY to 144    a good decision..

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
