10.368.910 GHz beacon active

6 August evening i setup a small Kuhne 10G beacon at 10368.9  200mW  integrated with horn antenna in a plastic box ( a lender from  Rob PE1ITR )

The horn antenna just looking over the dish in the rotating part of the antenna  about 23m a.g. JO33hg31

It will turn but i can direct it on demand that is the advantage.

Tropo openings expected in the evenings during the heatwave we have now. 

First report came from PA0JUS 599 42km   and G3XDY 390km  also seen at web SDR PI2EHV Eindhoven JO21QK  dx 221km 

Tropo ducting was very strong that first evening.

At 23cm strong beacons  GB3NO 9+ GB3MHZ  LA1UHG S9 LB2SHF 9+  LA3SHF OZ beacons

SK6MHI UHI beacons 1296.800 and 805  and strong radar ON0VHF PE9GHZ  also tropo backscatter observed

Also a new 23cm beacon   PA1SDR  1296.550 FT8 mode from JO33kh  maybe beter freq woud be 

1296.174 in the FT8 window

My 23cm XVTR  with VHFdesign SKY67151 lna still performs nice

 but after 3 years the DF9NP l.o. at 1152MHz   the TCXO    10MHz Taitien is slowly drifting up now about 10.0003    i have to tune 0.3kHz higher now but it  is very stable for a stand alone

it is not a VCXO no way to correct it down or it must be an capacitor  at the output? . 

The top printing say 12V supply. But 12V max? min? I wanted to supply this over an 25m cat5 type cable and need to know the Voltage range and current. Inside look shows the 12V is regulated to 9 with an UA7809 ,so 12V is about the minimum  9+2.5 still regulates and 25V will not harm if only the regulated 9V is used by Kunke..
The unit draws little less then 0.5A also there is a reverse Voltage protecting diode, good to know.

Hi.

I observe that you are reporting lb2shf 23cm Beacons at locator jo48. That is wrong. The Beacon is located at jo38rb NORTH of the city Mandal.
The lb2shf 3cm beacon is located at jo48ad Odderoya in the city of Kristiansand.


Best regards Lb2s

Hello Jaap,

Strong signal here in Appingedam, JO33KH (20km east of your QTH :-) in my QO100 fixed dish setup. This reception report was made while a huge rain shower did hit our area. 18 Aug, 2020 around 17h30 UTC. Unfortunately the signal did drop below noise floor when the rain shower went away...

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...
