I used my Kenwood TH-G71 with its antenna to listen to ARISSAT-1 in my subdivision. Used MMSTV to copy the image. The satellite was at 86 degrees at best. More information about the satellite can be found at www.arissat1.org/v3/.

This is a 6-minute clip that explains what CW ham operators do during a contest - what they hear and what they send in Morse code (they usually have WAY more stations calling them - for this tutorial I lowered the number of stations to a maximum of 3 to simplify things).

    So does Morse Runner (and/or N1MM Logger+) decode the incoming morse automatically from the sound card or is it used for transmitting out to the sound card? I'm interested in decoding from an SDR source (HDSDR , SDR# or SDR Console).

    • @w0mm
      @w0mm 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Morse Runner does not decode anything. Nor does N1MM Logger. It just recreates what you could hear in a contest, nothing else. And it doesn't transmit either.

    for simplicity in a contest if its readable it will be a 599. therefore in a logging program the only thing that would change is the call letters and if apply the serial number state etc. all these guys that use a cw program also know how to copy without it. the program only useful if the copy is solid once qrm or qsb sets in the program is useless. so learn how to copy in your head. and yes these guys could copy really fast cw in their head because they copy words not letters. they been doing this for years. if you really serious about cw get the KOTCH MORSE TRAINER app. i got it on my phone and it has help me tremendously.

      @@w0mm aw c'mon . . . 599 doesnt mean anything anymore? thats jst not tru sir. the reason (as u well know) everyone gets the same signal report during a contest is b'cuz it is a CONTEST. a contest is not a QSO chat where we tell each other what rig and antenna we are using and what color our house is. the idea of a contest, in this case, is to make more contacts than the next guy. the exchange is kept simple and fast. the same signal report is given to everybody. i mean, in a CONTEST who cares how strong ur signal is? save that for a half hour rag chew. the "context" of a signal report during a contest has changed... but a signal report is still a signal report. question T8C04 on the Technician exam for 2018 addresses this :)

I first need my license and a good place to put up an antenna. My apartment owner would never let me and since I am not working I'd put it in my car but it's old and I don't have much money to do that. I would ask my employer if he was interested in helping but I am not driving a big truck at the moment. Any way I look at it I'm screwed.
