 De afgelopen week  veel Japan en diverse VK6 27 November zelfs oost VK  VK2IR  korte opening  LOTW bevestigd d 6m beam DK7ZB verlengd to 7ele 9m30 misschien heeft dat nog iets geholpen tot nu was VK2IR de beste DX verder lijkt niemand me te kunnen horen of zien ook niet met de ACOM1000 er bij aan er komt geen hond retour!     Nieuw DXCC was Vietnam  Eddi Visser XV9T  FT8 en USB vaak gezien en  3W9A ook 1 ochtend YB5QZ en 9V1XX  Singapore na 30+jaar +  nu in FT8 mode VK6TM VK6ZLX VK6DU VK6APK  regelmatig te zien  De meeste DX word gemeld in de JOx0 zone  100 -200km zuidelijker     VK6ABS in SSB   4S7AB en DU6/PE1NSQ  ook gezien  maar PSK krijgt niet alles mee

  UR3LMZ XVTR  144 high level type mixer.  Xtal l.o. switched of extern l.o. 114MHz port over SMA  the mixer port needs a 50R termination  This XVTR sat in my drawer for years, but now it’s getting a second chance by switching off the onboard 58 MHz crystal oscillator (oscillator base short to ground) and injecting a direct 114 MHz signal into the ADE-12 mixer using the Leo Bodnar GPS-disciplined signal generator, which can be set from 400 Hz to 810 MHz via its USB configuration program. The signal is very clean. The XVTR is built into a small aluminum box measuring 8 × 10.5 × 2.5 cm with a heat sink, and it drives 3–4 W into the input attenuator of my BLF188xr PA. It’s important to terminate the L.O. mixer port with 50 Ω; otherwise, the IMD is very high. I use 114 MHz for the Flex XVTR with a 30–32 MHz IF. I wanted to receive 2m with the good band panorama of the Flex6500. This offers  a different experience seeing what happens on the band without tuning a...

   Last weekend  I was at PI4GN our contest club location JO33iiRottum ( PA0V) for the October R1 UHF contest the last one for 2024 We had 220 QSO 432MHz   ODX OM6W JO99gj  916km sudden very good copy in  CW after the contact.
