N1MM LOTW


I do not know how it happend but i got one log record with empty call sign field
This was reported by TQSL when trying to upload my log to LOTW

N1MM can not remove a record with empty call field i found out.
Deleting that record is normally confirmed by N1MM
But the faulty QSO record does not remove.
Here 3 PC's  in the network running N1MM  PC3 has IC706  + XVTR  23cm
PC2  is running WSJT / WSPR with the K3 or logging N1MM
PC1 the fastest Laptop is for contest use
All PC's have N1MM  and TQSL /LOTW
Deleting a QSO that is logged by an other PC in the network is not allowed that makes sense.
To delete that record I filled in a fantasy call DE1LET   and then it can be deleted for real.
You would think:
So what, let TQSL ignore the empty record,  just update it.
That's what i did
But  when checking in LOTW  QSO's where missing just after the "empty"field
 that happened to be my season best DX of course
among  6m   several JA
50 MHz  DS4EOI      2017-06-08   9:18   New DXCC Korea 1rst time in 30 years 6m QRV        
50 MHz  WA6OSX   2017-06-08  17:49  JT65  CM97

Real rare DX from JO33hg  is a one time per season event if it ever happens.
After that good DX day June 8   many DX-less days followed with 1x hop es
I see some 200 km south of me reporting USA midwest  Caribean VK6 VK4 OA PY 9Y XE
I knew from the past JO33hg is not 6m DX wonderland so nothing new,
Okay the 5 ele here will not bring a full 10dBd , possible 6dBd if it is real bad but it isn't .
Extending the 5m boom  to 9m  with 2 elements would that really make  the difference?
I doubt that very much
A beam up with little more "gain" it will not harm.
But driving to Italy with a dipole would bring more result.

ok....  LOTW continue
On PC 3  the TQSL certificate was already expired.
So it seems wise to renew the certificate at this PC-1 before it expires
I updated  from the requested LOTW tq6
Then backup and restore to the 2nd and 3 PC
al certificate  had  gold certificate label again
It looked all okay.
But next day this PC1 was suddenly out of business for uploading LOTW

The LOTW certificate ID did not match to any of my the 3 PC's
Confusing
The best way is to set up 1 PC working for LOTW upload and then copy the working configuration to the other PC  by backup and  restore on the other  PC's  using the working backup file.

After 2 times deleting and new request for  TQ6
LOTW  did work again  on PC1,  then copied the configuration to the other 2 PC's and fixed.
Finally the missing QSO's  are in LOTW after forcing to process uploading identical QSO
The N1MM log synchronise  a lot better in the latest versions, but still my general logs ar not identical on the 3 networked PC's

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...
