June summer contest 50MHz UKSMG


                                            l2 hours 6m all modes https://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html

FT8 heard VP2EIH VE1PZ  PZ5RA PV8DX YV5LI HH2JR HH70A (WSJT-x refused to pick up that callsign with d-click) and HI  KP4   but only  CO8LY was 2-way on  alternative 50.323
one way propagation for all other DX
They where working Italians but Mediterranean ham's can work  late night into the Caribbean
   while here the band is closing short after sunset.

Weekend lot of contest activity   unlike HF easy  PG7V  contest calendar
for  VHF UHF contest date's there is no easy complete calendar site? 


 Microwave contest  Saturday June 2 1200u  Sunday 1200u
     managed 8 QSO   1296 MHz   after  an easy random  QSO with OK2
      activity dropped and  no more sked's requests at KST2ME
I like 23cm. My station is good RX  and TX >30W direct  at the 1m2 dish feedpoint
But too much noise for me.
Same time 6m was buzzing so i decided for contest at 6m

WA7BNM  did not mention the AEGEAN contest
AEGEAN  UTC and Sunday 03 June 2018 13:00 UTC (24 hours duration).
so i choose N1MM contest type VHF serial Region1
rst serial and grid(6)
simultanious:
UKSMG  6m field day contest   2/3 June 1300 to 1300UTC  rst serial loc(6)

Confusing also
 Dutch Kingdom contest HF +6M  exchange  RST  SERIAL

NP2J  fb "ears" heard cq'n long time with 419 to 529 not busy
on request got a contest report thanks for ODX fb! just before  contest closing time
 KP4EIT  is a worked longtime before for most 6m HAM's
Would have been nice to receive a contest number  then it would be my ODX
now it was just a 59 thanks contact

Contest organisation and activity in the U.K. is at  high standard.

then it was dinner time ..
confusing this 2nd FT8 dial frequency cluster reported frequency 50323kHz
but there the audio offset was 1kHz too  high

signals where fading in and out as usual but FT8 is fast
JT65 seems to be forgotten it's only  FT8

Vreemd die 2e frequentie. Wel iets om in de gaten te houden dus. De vraag is waarom? Ik heb ergens iets gelezen over een speciale FT8 DX frequentie?? 73, Bas

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
