QMX 60 - 15m, First Test
มุมมอง 1403 หลายเดือนก่อน
Just finished my QMX 60 - 15m (rev 4). Thought I'd let you all have a listen to the keyer and see the improved power output using the new winding technique on the PA transformer. I'm glad I took the time to put a small heatsink pad under the power transistors.
Höchstein OE/ST-334, SOTA Hike n Fly, August 21st 2023
มุมมอง 704 หลายเดือนก่อน
The weather has been pretty awful this spring, so I inevitably got to thinking of sunnier times. On 21st August 2023 I was able to perform only the 2nd activation of Höchstein 2543m (OE/ST-334). The weather was glorious and I was even able to take the paraglider along. Yesterday I finally got round to editing the raw footage, I hope you enjoy the results.

Hike SOTA Fly Repeat
มุมมอง 655ปีที่แล้ว
Weather conditions were perfect for some hike & fly activity in the Obersteiermark (after prolonged rain). Why not combine it with some SOTA activations? Unfortunately, the camera froze and did not record the first activation. However, the second one on Polster recorded just fine; fast forward to 29 mins if you're a ham and get bored of the paragliding.

Iambic paddles should all be Black ! Because once you use one, you'll never go back ! 🤔.....?
What a fantastic combination of hobbies. Thanks for sharing the view!
Hi there, nice video. I've had a Morserino for a while now, and just received a nice iambic paddle from Bamatech, a TP-3. I plugged it in and... it doesn't work! Only the left paddle works, but as a "straight key", when I press there's a solid tone, no multiplie dits or dahs... I'm using decent quality stereo 3.5mm jacks cables, and I'm stuck... Any idea if I need to "setup" my Morserino for an iambic paddle? In advance, many thanks for your time. Best regards, Manny / Essex / England 73 de 2E0HJN
Swapping over to iambic mode should be in one of the menus, can't remember off the top of my head. The manual will tell you.
@@oe6feg Thanks for the super quick reply! I've also realised I can set the IC-705 to "no transmit" in CW but still able to hear the dits & dahs... Cheers!
Wow! Tnx for sharing the flight down! I really enjoyed it. Its the first time i see someone flying down from a SOTA activation. Great stuff. 73.
I really like my QMX
Yes, it's an amazing kit. I'm looking forward to building the mid-band version. This one is for sale now on Ebay.

First bad, counting. Second bad, having your fingers off the paddles and tapping… Rephrasing K7QO; Make a circle with tumb and pointing finger, then put on the paddles, DON’T let go… And then, if you already know how to handle other key’s with one hand, start your paddling with the other hand!!! 73
Absolutely beautiful SOTA/Paragliding video, greatly appreciated! Of all the SOTA videos I have watched this one is the most amazing one of all, it has a lot to do with my love of flying and being a former hang glider pilot. Your combination of hiking, activating and flying off the summit is EPIC! I subscribed after watching it and looking forward to many more videos. I tried paragliding once and wish I stayed with it.. de N1YLO 73
Thanks a lot Andrew, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have raw footage from an activation of the Höchstein. I will try to find time to edit and publish it. I'm very busy with work at the moment.
First of all, the idea of "warming up" is very useful. Since my very first attempts of morse learning, a "warm up" for both receive and transmit was obvious. On the other hand, some notes/suggestions about the "counting". First: do NOT count. Counting itself is a brain-blocking mechanism, which doesn't let your brain "read" or "write" the code based on the patterns you're (hopefully) familiar with. Istead, use something like "transmit continuous zeros with an e in between each 0" or "transmit fives with t in between each". And, of course, continue with 9s and 4s, continuous Os with an e in between, and Vs, then Gs and Us... And any combination. In general: avoid counting for all cost. This is the third most important rule after "avoid visualization (Farnsworth method)", and avoid "word substitution" (when the learning method is based on substituting dih-dah-patterns with common words -- I don't know how often is it used anywhere outside Hungary).

Sehr schönes Video mit grandiosen Aussichten. Dein CW ist sehr gut, hat spaß gemacht mit zu hören. Paragliding ist aber nichts für mich, hi, hi. 😁👍 73 de Bruno DL7UN
Danke fürs Feedback!
Counting? Seriously?
Just my opinion, but the worst bad habit a person beginning to learn CW or Morse code, is counting dits and dahs, as opposed to just hearing the sound of the character without concern for the number of dits and dahs that make up the sound of the character they are trying to send or recognize. Your exercise is training a newbie to count dits and dahs. If that eventually becomes habit, it will have to be unlearned to advance further once the speed limit is reached for counting dits and dahs. Instead of a counting exercise to improve ability to send S, H, and 5; why not just send S H 5 for the exercise and concentrate on the sound of the character and not the number of dits and dahs?
Absolutely agree
Halo
And here we go. I just have mine D1 delivered yesterday with 6 broken keys from the right. Sending back to the shop and will wait for replacement. But if get it broken again I’m gonna ask for refund and go to some local shop around and buy it locally
Hello Matt! Do you know why it‘s not possible to save your video in my TH-cam library?
Sorry, no idea.
I've had two now, one new and one 're-furbished' from Korg direct - and both arrived with a damaged keybed!
Thank you for your video I am sure this will help as I have just started with a paddle key.
I have a dozen questions, is it possible to email you or message somehow? 73

Do not use this absolute joke of a company. They sent me damaged goods and then I had to wait a week for them to grant me permission to return them. Here we are a further 6 weeks down the road and still no refund and just generic respo set to my emails. Absolute disgrace. Steer well clear of them
Great idea Matthew. I can't wait to build mine. Is the total length of the coax 5.475 PLUS 1.71 m? Tnx, Scott kw4jm
Also great video, really detailed lol
How much space is there in the back on the inside really? Im not planning to use this much for hikes, more for a weeks worth of clothes. Heading to LA for a week and just wanted something to shove 8 t-shirts (rolled up) 2 or 3 hoodies / 4-5 pairs of pants(also rolled for space). Think that'd fit? somewhat?
May I ask what is the system you have with your key?

Interesting. I am not convinced it is a good idea to teach beginners to count dits and dahs. Hearing the sound of 3 , 4, 5, dits and so on with dahs will allow people to increase their speeds more easily. Think about it, counting 5 dits at 30 wpm is very difficult, in contrast with hear the sound of a 5.
True. With morse, it's best not to think, at all... any thinking/remembering is detrimental. The worst thing beginners ever do is go look at a morse chart and try to memorise the dits and dahs. It's the VERY worst thing they could do. From then on, the moment they hear morse their brain tries to see all the individual dits/dahs... and this slows them down so much they miss the next characters... ... then they get so frustrated and cannot progress : ( So, the VERY first thing I tell anyone, when they say they want to learn morse ... is : *DO NOT EVER look at ANY morse!* It's my rule #1. Morse DOES NOT EXIST as far as your eyes are concerned! You will learn morse with your eyes closed and your ears open. No counting... no memorising... no analysis... ... and DEFINITELY no looking at charts or visualising dots and dashes! There's certainly no need to count because there isn't 4 things in : "dah dit dah dit" ... it's ONE thing .... "dahdidahdit"... it's a word! You'll learn it as a single thing... like the word "Balloon". You don't think about how it is spelled, because the sound itself IS the meaning. Well, dahdidahdit is a word, like Balloon! And S is "dididit" ... there isn't three dots in there! Just the word "dididit". We're going to learn these "words" two at a time... and they're going to be so fast you can't split them apart or think about their "spellings" And that's the other mistake I see beginners make. Slowing it down! Never ever slow it down! You should learn at the speed you want to send/receive at. if you slow it down then you'll start thinking - and thinking will kill your progress. Keep it too fast to analyse... and your brain is forced to learn the letters as though they were indivisible language units. Intra-character spacing should be lengthened just enough that you can think the letter... but no further, so you don't analyse it to see if you were right ; ) I tend to keep the space just enough to allow the learner to key it back. After every two letters they get a pause to say "RR" or "RP" or "PR" or "PP" ... later, it will be three letter groups... then four. Hear it... key it ... and after a group ends, say it! This way they're focused on remembering the message, and not on the analysis of symbols. It's how you learned language in the first place. Hear... repeat! Hear... repeat! I tell my students, if you learned to say "mama" and "dada" as a baby ... you can learn morse ; )
Best to learn using receiving farnsworth with decent speed of each character. Learning by grouping AUV4, NDBG etc can be a clever way, so your learn not to confuse them. For iambic transmission training, start slow to get a good routine with the keyer. Then it is easier to learn how the paddle reacts, and how you can use it most efficient. And all should know there are more than one iambic logic. I prefer Iambic B (Curtis B), due to the way it inserts the dots and dashes. I have this so worked in to my routine, that I get trouble once I use a keyer with Iambic A... Therefore I always use my own programmable external keyer, where I can choose the best style for me. In that way I can easily switch to any new radio.
@@garychap8384 I’m a new ham and I’m just starting to learn CW. I really needed to hear this! It’s very tempting to print out a chart and hang it on the wall next to my rig so that I can refer back to it as I learn. I have a bit of a history in music and what you’re saying makes a lot of sense. I’ll shred the chart and practice learning by ear. 73!
@@garychap8384 I’ll check it out! Thanks again.
Of course you are correct. Counting dits and dahs are a very poor way to to _learn_ Morse code for a beginner. I think he's trying to eliminate the tendency to "slap" the paddles for folks who already are proficient with Morse.
Tnx Mat for sharing your insights... brilliant 🤩 vu73/55, Tom (DL1HBT)

Yes, and you are actually sending characters and not counting dits and dahs, which is a very bad habit to start out with.

Hey, is there a way to connect it to cw comunicator?
@@oe6feg What does it mean?
@@oe6feg so by using wire connection... I was thinking something about wifii... I know about that way trough wire. Few friends told me that there is possibility to run some kind of serwer on PC and transmitting CW trough it directly to CW comunicator. And I decide to look for something similar on internet
ive seen others recommend you do not insulate the toroid. It's non conductive and by adding the insulator, you're spacing the wire further away from the ferrite (marginally) thus reducing the coupling. Any thoughts?
Thanks for this video! Now I am really concerned. I have heard consistent problems with this piano and broken keys. I am just a beginner myself, and I wanted the RH3 action of the KORG to learn on. The higher end KORG's such as the SV2 and Grandstage have the same keybed, but don't have this breakage problem. Perhaps KORG should redesign the D1 and release it again to make it more robust and resistant to shipping damage. Have to find something useful here in the US. They say the Donner DP-20 is a good starter piano. Nit really willing to spend for a Roland FP-30X as a beginner...
