WSPR 4m 70cm


first time this season some testing at 70.091MHz
a lot of decodes between Jorgen OZ7IT and me resulted
these are the unique decodes only

 Using just  X30 vertical g.p.  6m a.g.   and the vintage IC451E
this is an ICOM allmode rig ( CW FM USB/LSB to be precise since nowadays all mode means al lot more then in the last Milenium )
It has minimum 100Hz tuning step and there is no PC interface.
Only there seem to be 6 i/o connections at the 16pin AMP to control the CPU.
But the function for these Data lines i/o are not known to me.
Possible some ham somewhere has ever used these control lines?

and 1296.500 MHz but here i have a good antenna and front end XVTR with  low n.f. RX 0.75 db

B.t.w.  the DB. QUERY SHOW ALL  UNIQUE  does not consider  BAND. or frequency range.
That means  SHOW ALL does not show all,
It fits to my believe that most statements can be reversed.
Only the latest decode of a unique call sign is in the resulting recordset.
The unique decodes of this call sign on other bands are not shown.
Strange that i have not noticed this issue before an omission.
I should post this at the WSPRnet.org forum but it happened to me again. I lost all typing with one click at the wrong spot.
Last night DP0GVN  IB65 Antarctica NeumeyerII base  13835km to south!
Decoded me on 3 bands 160m  80m and 60m  .
The propagation path was very good and with power down to 0.5Watts  -21dB
 still  7dB room.

Another thing WSPR at 60m that wonders me.
There are 4 different frequencies to consider with 60M WSPR

One of the basic rules that make WSPR and other narrow band weak signal DIGI modes so successful everyone using the same USB dial frequency, but now this rule is dropped.

USB dial : 60m 4 offsets
1: 5.357    kHz   all poor WRC2016 restricted HAMS..
2. 5.2872  kHz    for  ZS South Africa  and OZ LA G and ? not under WRC2016  restriction
3. 5.362    kHz    in use by ZL  and Pacific  and within WRC 2016 15kHz section
4  5.3647  kHz    where DP0GVN  listens..

Since WRC 2016 we have  15kHz  and 15W ERP left
PA could use 100kHz and 100W before the  WRC2016
Strange is that some nearby countries in W-EU can use 200kHz  and way more power.


My wanted feature for WSJT-x would be the option to use sub-frequencies within one band
to step through all offsets.

 LOTW   most all?  VHF/UHF HAM's  don't use LOTW
possible using paper log'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...
