VB6 replacement search , TQSL small problem..

Perfectly describes the let down of VB6 users by Microsoft. http://lightquick.co.uk/still-looking-for-a-replacement-for-vb6.html?Itemid=252 i have installed MS Visual studio 2015   i had to let my PC running the whole evening to install this dragon piece ... bulky slow cryptic not suited Windows 10 still not been able to run in VM seems to be very hard.. TQSL v2.0.3 I noticed  a possible problem in TQSL   v2.0.3 when editing an existing ADIF the output is skipping fields output of N1MM ADIF   1 record   EA8AA/QRP 20150412 172233 36 20M PA0O 14.05356 DX 14.05356 CW 599 599 PA0O 33 8373 1 1 AF 1 1 True USER- PC 1 same record ADIF after edit   inTQSL EA8AA/QRP     20M     CW     20150412     172233     14.05356     14.05356  I noticed this because I could not import the edited ADIF into HAMlog due to too many missing fiel...

5R8UI 6m first DX this year worked

recording with QSO PE5T helaas 3B9FR niet gehoord  misschien weer te laat dat was een nieuwe geweest. maar allang verbaasd om uberhaubt eens DX te horen op de ruisband... tja 6m primetime = dinnertime   dat is een vaste regel.. 5R8UI was langere tijd te werken simplex wel veel qsb    Nu de 70MHz preamp ESD protected   2x bliksem schade in maart na jaren 0-problemen. hopelijk geen defecte preamp meer info   http://www.ok2kkw.com/00003016/lna/lna_ochrana_en.htm 1N34 Ge diode  reverse -1.5V ca 2pF @-1V      hier -1.5V U-gate Beter nog zou een dual pindiode BAR64-04W  of HSMP 3822 TRIG zijn maar die heb ik nu niet. Of de NXP BAV99 dual SOT23   10 voor 1 Euro  Cp <= 1.5pF Ik merk geen nadelig effect van de 1N34 of zelfs de BAT85 10pf  op 70 en 50 MHz En een enkele diode gaat geleiden door te veel signaal en vormt dan een  gesloten contact. Een harde kortsluiting is het niet maar de ingang w...

Windows 10 running in a virtual PC and projects .. a lot

I installed an older version of VM that one did not resist and installed normally woow! But after following the instructions to set up a new VM for Windows10 pressing start VM  did abort with the message core engine not found! I should reload some core engine ... cryptic  nerd crap since the core engine was not mentioned at install as a separate  part of VM So how can I reload a kernel of VM ??? It is unbelievable this software boys it is very hard to find logical working software without fatal errors.. The easiest way to explore Windows 10 is installing it in a virtual PC That is what I read on the internet i agree with that. Already longer time using Windows Virtual PC  XP  for Simatic S7 PLC software That works fine. Simatic software is not what you want to install in your system since it is short said:  a real pain in the a..  type of install If "lucky" and Siematic is installed it takes over your PC  with crazy demands like...

Dinsdag middag 28-4 15:50 bliksem deelt een tik uit.

4m transverter eruit PA en preamp naar de eeuwige ruisvelden door onweer ontlading in de omgeving. Verder geen andere aparatuur met schade kunnen ontdekken. de K3 was ook op 6m WSPR Niets gemerkt pas vandaag zag ik dat de 4m transverter wel erg ruisvrij was en geen bias in de PA. de laatste decode voordat de bliksem de Tranverter uitschakelde 2015-04-28 13:46   PA0O   70.092524   +13   0   JO33hg   1   PE1COS   JO33ge   11   211 de  BLF177 heeft geen bias meer BE spanning 3,5V  jammer shit happens Ik denk over een spanning surpressor in de antenne kabel. Hoe nu juist de transverter geraakt is en ( gelukkig  )  niet de K3  dat is niet duidelijk De K3 heeft wel surpressor dioden op de antenne aansluiting.

Small world 70MHz WSPR

One of those rare nights with longpath to VK at 28MHz

Woow  when I entered the shack at 23:30 CET almost midnight  found 28Mhz still wide open VK2ZMT VK4CZ over no doubt longpath! Why must this be longpath? With a dipole the back and front is equal receiving but the regular morning  North-East path is the dark side of the earth or better said the no-go area for 28 and 50 MHz As we know all too well in North Europe that  we are not hearing any of the 6m DX that can be heard  in the south of Europe for months now. And if the dx path would go over the North-East we would be the first to hear it . We have to wait for Es layer to extend the south EU propagation to us. And then when we finally catch one of those rare ES extend TEP openings we are at the mercy of the south Europeans to get a break in the pile or the DX must have ears for the weaker dx behind the wall. That means all distances have to be corrected  for us in the north the path goes over south Europe and not the other way around So 16452...

4m 9H1XT new one

My first DX result with the new 5 ele 4M Yagi.. new one in MS FSK441  9H1XT jm75gv QRB  2028 km  a bit far for MS one of the best m.s. distance worked. but right in the first minutes received 2 very strong bursts almost too strong to be true holding several times both callsigns But after that some long weak reflections received only in over 30 minutes and not good decoding  fractions only with R26  but hmm not 100% sure sometimes the random noise displayed likes to favor plausible data like 73 R26 etc..  but then after many empty periods  a clear R26 + call was decoded  and finally a new one in the log Thanks John     I think in the ES season if we have one.. 9H1 will be regular workable I remember long time ago that the first 144MHz  9H was worked in the 70's that was sensational dx then. There are more 9H active at 4m 20150425 0608  70220,0 USB  PA0O          26  9H1XT ...
