Tonight first time i tested 80m HV0A  in F/H mode
i had saved the configuration Hound mode before
So when I noticed the pileup in FT8 mode tonight covering the 80m WSPR window at 3568.6 kHz...
I switched the WSJT configuration to Hound mode.
Used before in V2.21 but the audio settings now set to USB audio port in use. Then  pressed tune to test the audio setting.. but program came in a hangup loop with intermittent  audio tone and error popup  saying for FOX mode one should not use the standard FT8 frequency.. again an example of wrong use of the message box function as seen in N1MM  in the past. This box it self is part of the hangup loop. 
Only by using task manger force end program to exit program .
I should be in hound mode but it was in FOX mode after the configuration switch.
After fixing this  HV0A  was decoded strong (of course here Vatican Rome) using 4 or 5 tx channels!  in a huge  EU pile.
I started to call, after 7 times calling WSTJ stopped tx-ing  then i waited and yes as expected after 2 minutes finishing other callers, HV0A returned with report and re-activated my TX on command!
Then the "QSO" was quick finished

It is funny to see this although seen before that F/H mode is so efficient that calling stations are placed in a que and the list worked down later.
Never been so easy to get in the log ..

One other thing in WSJTx V2.3 is the different format off  ALL_wspr.txt
The log lines are different. The position of the QTH locator was at colon 8 but in V2.3 at  position 7 . And that is not accepted in the manual uploading function of the "old" database.
All lines are rejected with:  invalid locator
A work around is to insert a dummy 0 embedded in spaces behind the time colon.  
Since wsprnet.org db server is often not responding or busy . Manual uploading is often used

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
