Google drive eats your harddisk!

I had about  3GB free of 40G HD on this lowpower notebook I am using Dropbox  it used about 5GB HD space. It was getting a problem the HD space sunk below minimum level.. But I red this . https://process.st/2014/07/why-i-moved-from-dropbox-to-google-drive/ I thought to give it a try and gain HD space It is a cloud storage service so I expect what the name implies  to store file in the WWW instead on my tiny HD... WRONG thought!  it cost you more HD space than without! Googledrive installed and instantly I lost my just freed  2.5 GB ! I can not find the G.D. storage place in my PC that takes those GBytes! Also Dropbox takes HD space but at least it shows decent where it is:  ...user/Dropbox . Be aware!  special if your HD is "only" 40GB Stick to dropbox is my advice. I had cleaned my system HD as good as possible to free about 3.5GB I got warnings low memory already The HD is only 40GB in this Notebook I did uninstall  Googled...

3B9FR 50.105 MH10 got'm

Thanks to great activity of Robert and  antenna donated by UKSMG  QSO time 15:39   a new one i  ! #212  and   MH  main-square  number 90 2 year and 1day  after 3B8DB Heard long time over 1 hour in and out again heard at almost 17:00  big pile with  DL OK OM YU etc etc many callers strong heard in the QSX  50.105 3B9FR  MH10qh     QSX up 2 - 5 kc When arriving home a quick look at the cluster showed that 3B9FR already had an opening into my area.. was I too late again 3rd day in a row (....)? Pff  this time the signal came back in to about 569 good signal with big DL OK YU etc pile. recording http://www.qsl.net/pa0oos/recall2015/3b9fr_6.mp3 The month May seems to be the best for this...

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
