I had my radio setup for monitoring packet on 145.825 from the ISS, but was amazed to hear the astronauts talking ! I dont understand Russian, maybe someone can translate in the comments ? Also my packet did get into the ISS :) Set up here is m2 Eggbeaters, IC9700 and Windows running Direwolf with UISS for messaging.

I'm back to Boulderwood with the trusty magloop. This time I'm straight into SSB after making 10 digital contacts and even make a SSTV contact ! Thanks again to all those who made a contact, I really appreciate it and thanks to those who encourage us radio operators to get out and get on the air :)
Unknown dipole testing at the QTH

I found a dipole amongst the mess at home, and already had a nice portable mast with groundspike. After a bit of jiggling I was on the air with WSPR and FT8 on multiple bands, with the MAT tuner really coming into its own with the IC705.

PoTA G-0112 Bolderwood 4th February 2024
มุมมอง 326 หลายเดือนก่อน
With the sun out on a sunday afternoon I made an impromptu journey out to Bolderwood in the New Forest with the 705 and mag loop to do a POTA activation. I used various modes and made some great DX with the alexloop hampack antenna, with one QSO with KC1MMC (A PoTA Hunter) being 3217 miles ! Eventually made 14 contacts and it was pitch black sky by the time I got back home! What do people think...
Jan 2024 mast update at the QTH
มุมมอง 756 หลายเดือนก่อน
With the combination of good weather and available time, I get around to putting the SOTA Beams travel mast up to replace the long-used and well proven DX Command which fell victim to the recent storms here in the UK. I may well repair / get a new plate for the DX Commander, but wanted to fix and test the SOTABeams mast as well, having recently got new parts for i.

After 6 months I finally head out to do some Parks on the Air, this time to G0112 New Forest at Bratley View. Using the IC705, Alex Loop and SDR Control on the ipad I managed the required 10 contacts no problem at all.

Shout out to me lb ricardo ❤
DONT PLEAD NO SPECIAL CASE FOR ME ......
Why you ignoring me wally.....
Watched this on repeat when I was a kid ..... can't find ... I don't care how late it is scene
When he's eating his food and shouts out PISS and throws the tray PISS proper film and the sound track is amazing I've got a few copied dvds with SCUM, MCVICAR, A SENSE OF FREEDOM and I think it's called SCRUBERS it had JEANSt Clement i don't know if that is right she was Pat Butcher in East Enders She was in the film about a women's Prison. Correct me if im wrong with her name.
thank you for your brilliant comment on an excellent film ! your DVD collection has some brilliant films in it. I've just recently watched 'nil by mouth', whilst not a prison escapee film, it has very good acting of eastend criminals, i can recommend it highly, but its a tough one to watch!
This is my all time favourite British crime thriller which ranks alongside The Krays and Let Him Have It
Those are super films as well ! I'm glad you enjoyed this little clip :)
Thank you ☺ This clip always makes me laugh out loud. A brilliantly delivered line
What are your opinions on Kier Starmer
Can you better explain the tuning process?
👍
Nice one Al 🙂👍
I also heard them by chance, was just testing if I could hear myself on my home SDR and saw a signal, managed to hear an (i pressume) American astronaut. Was very interesting, thanks for sharing.
great work with the SDR ! i'm hoping they turn on the amature radio equipment soon so i can resume listening and hoping to make it back into the digipeater again :) (amateur radio equipment off after Soyuez return to ff)
A sians run the show in prison now
lol, sounds like first hand experience :)
Apologies for the high wind noise on the x7000 section, it was far louder than expected !
My noise has finally gone after it appeared 8 years ago. The internet company has gone onto fibre optic cable. January 9th it went over but I only listened on the 13th to 41m and it was quiet so I listened to 40m, then 160m to 20m where everything was quiet. I've got my hobby back. G4GHB.
That is fantastic news ! Really please for you and hope to catch you in the log books !
Thank you for the POTA park! Funny to see a video of the opposite end here randomly. 73 - KC1MMC

Congratulations for your great results on a beautiful scenario .I wish you a lot of fun and hundreds of QRP DX. PY1AHD ALEX
Very serious film with some very funny moments. Roger Daltrey wow never knew he was such a good actor Great soundtrack and great cast great movie.
Hi Alan I didn't catch you today I was Portable also at 15 and 17 m good propagation on SSB I looking also for SSTV on 20 m but my battery from the laptop was empty and I still working on SSB finally closed my Logbook with 70 QSO s 73 my friend seen around on frequency's de SV2ROC 07/01/24

To much wind for antenna mounting Alsn
haha, yeah, tho the whip on the Mazda Bongo is. a sturdy one for local 2m/70cms , just mustnt forget to lower it when driving it into the car parks..... :\
Super Alan enjoy it my friend good job 👍
Hi Alan nice equipment the icom radio what about antenna to use for portable situation unfortunately the rain caught you 🌧️ you managed to activation maybe next time ... Greetings from Greece 73 my friend
hiya ! yeah, was testing the whip out - will be back with the magloop next time :D Am sorting out the right equipment to use EFHW :) looking to be a good year for going out with the radio!
Great to see! I've subscribed!
Ordered the replacement parts for the travelmast andt they arrived really quickly - by amazing coincidence (or bad luck) the DX Commander mast base and plastic disc finally succumbed to the wind we have had in the last few days here in England, so lucky to have this mast again ! Now struggling with unlocking a very stuck together 'whip 10000'... but plenty more quality masts to try for at home and POTA activations. Thank you SOTA beams, and well done to the DX Commander mast, i think it last well over 2 years in so many weather conditions, i may order another spreader plate as there is nothing wrong with the pole itself - very strong!
have just come back from another POTA attempt - same result !!! think it must be the antenna / laptop combo, will try another choke on the antenna between the MAT Tuner and the antenna.
👍
It would be great if you could make a video on how to calibrate the trap on a Hustler BTV. I search You Tube and could not find one on how to do it.
i am n the us & starting to build my station From scratch & i just got my 6btv together & put up the day b 4 yesterday So i am still in the tuning phase and i do not have the hinge base plate or the radial plate But we all gotta start some where as thy say . the assembly wasn't bad But the tuning is a Time consuming process/a bit of a bear imho ! I will get it where it needs to be for me (Voice) I just half to take my time n be patient n make sure its done right ! I may add Radials n the spring after ive had time to play this fall & Winter ..I already saw Huge Improvement over my old ant i was using for 10,12,15M & RX Only on the Rest like 15-20db Better so yea i am very happy so far !
Бесподобно интересное видео! Спасибо. Желаю Вам здоровья и всяческих благ.
Appreciated you sharing can you upload the don't talk about it scene cheers !
Was born and bred just down the road from Carisbrooke Castle use to go there every year from the 1960s loved the donkeys and still do
Thats lovely ! I've not been back since - thanks for sharing your love of the donkeys :D
Could usually hear it daily here in JO02SS and it was a very useful propogation indicator. Been off the air for a very long time now. Not certain if it's coming back.
well, video doesnt have a huge amount of hits, but this radio will be up and running again in a few weeks time :) will upload new video
..you said you do not have a 6m antenna...a 40m dipole should give a good swr, straight away...
alas the radio is no longer in my collection :(
High mumblage factor.
hehe ! yes i'm a grumble mumble not-so-old-ham :)
Great camera work !
There is no way I would want a child murderer. (STREEKY) making me a cup of tea. He wouldn’t even be nowhere neer the man with the hammer in real life. The officers don’t mind drinking he’s tea. Weird to say the least
streaky wasnt a child murderer that was i think davis.
Ohh do love an arsehole these Geordies
great antenna - have one as well, waiting to put it up once the snow here is gone
i bought the same unit, absolutely brilliant, like day and night. Highly recommended.
I just picked up a th-7 on the cheap I am just starting to learn how to use it . 73
its a great little radio that can do a heck of alot, leave a comment if you want me to show something specific. 73 2E0FWE
A very worthwhile project, indeed. I wonder though, if simply installing a mini-jack into the body of the mouse and making the short connection to the circuit board inside of the mouse might not make the project look and feel perhaps a little bit more finished or professional. That way, the mouse is still quite functional with a very clean look plus you would NOT have to bother with the other y-cables at all. The plug on the end of your cw key would simply just plug into the new jack on the mouse. Everything is trim and neat then, no extraneous cables or tape to hold the mouse together. Just a thought for whatever it may be worth. By-the-way, if you adjusted the front screw on the cw key (the one next to the cable end) to form less of a gap, I think your sending would be considerably easier. There is a way too much play as it was demonstrated in the video. Thanks for the idea of the interconnect to the mouse in the first place. I do believe that I am going to try it for some extra "off air" practice. '73 for now. Greetings from Ontario, Canada. Barrry at VE3BMY
Radials are 6*5M making 30M of radials.
Radials are 6*5M as per link :)
I've had several questions about DX Commander vs 6BTV. Currently the DX Commander *masts* hold up my 80M end fed antenna incredbly well, but for low maintenance the 6btv means I spend more time on the air, and not fixing antennas. Currently the 6BTV is in use for WSPR, and will probably stay that way for the foreseeable future as the end-fed does all the HF bands. You can see how good the performance of the 6BTV is via my WSPR website here webtechnologies.alanknipmeyer.science/html/WSPR/ or use WSPR's own website and search for 2E0FWE. Current radio on the 6BTV is an IC705 running 1W of power, it will in time be switched to a uBitX.
Hi, i see in the background a DX commander. How do you compare the BTV to the dx Commander?
Lovely weather, that park bench looked like a good place to play radio 😁
Or maybe a paddle like VK3YE with a magloop... :D
