วีดีโอ

@deejy232 no, it won't work on the uv5r at this time. My quansheng has modified firmware to allow it to do this. The frequency was 144.100 I believe

@KI5UCO okay thanks

@HappyHarryHardon that's awesome!

@@ANewPlace haha thanks for watching

Because it's cool!

Nope... light is actually radio 😬

This is probably around 630 nano meters or so on the spectrum. I would agree that light is radio, but radio isn't necessarily light. Kind of like the square being a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't necessarily a square. In this particular case, this is both a modulated carrier at 20khz superimposed upon the visible light spectrum. I'm not really a smart guy, so I could be incorrect, but either way, thanks for watching!

@@KI5UCO Well, radiowaves are literally light. When you pick up radiowaves on a radio, what you are really doing is capturing light being produced elsewhere.

@ Radiowaves are literally light.

Thank you!

@@dennis8019 it is a kit made by Black Cat Systems. I'm sure you could change a few values around to make it work on 10 meters. I would contact the seller and ask him. He has been very helpful to me. www.blackcatsystems.com/rf-products/22_meter_band_part_15_beacon_kit.html?srsltid=AfmBOop5Ct_Z1jIzuZh4IyfCoJZjmJ7fxEb3RxQBbK5RswviCdWO0PhV Good luck!

@xuliangmuzi1424 I assume for the purpose of reception? You could use an upconverter like this one: www.sv1afn.com/en/products/vlf-lf-up-converter-for-sdr-or-analog-receivers-dc-120-khz.html The Air Spy, or other comparable SDR receiver works well. The cheapest option that may work well for you, is to use your PC's built in soundcard. You can use software that is free (SDR# , SAQ receiver , etc) to listen to your "base band" audio. This will allow you to listen from 0-22kHz on most PC soundcards. Good luck!

@@BBayjay yes. It would make a better one if the wire was spread out more uniformly

Thanks for the comment! They are pretty good, although the radiation angle seems a bit high on 10 meters. Still well worth the expense, I'd say

@@Ansset0 what?

For fun mostly, but also to give the other users a reference point to aim antennas towards me

@KI5UCO thanks

Thank you!

@KJ5HGC-EDH might have to get you one haha 😄

@Shermanator.13426 yes sir

Small world! I'm out around Everton, and we have a small group that hangs around 146.520 most nights. I host a net on Thursday at 7pm on 146.520 as well. Hope to catch you on the air!

standing wave ratio, reactance, impedance, and a host of other items related to resonance in a "circuit" (my antenna system) for transmission on 630 meter ham band (474.2 kHz)

I'm using two impedance transformers at the same time to allow power transfer and radiation on an electrically small antenna. Not something I've ever seen before

The end goal is to have an effective radiator on 474.2 kHz

@@WayneNelson-l2c unfortunately, I am not familiar with the antenna you speak of

@@henryisnotafraid 😄

I did indeed. Sorry for the bad camera work, but it was hard to record the meter while keeping the ht in the same spot. The signal meter is in a pistol case with a vu meter and an old am modulation meter. It ended up where the bottom meter fills up and then starts with the top meter. At some point there is a red led that will light up with a very strong signal.

@@dracobruhma yes sir it is

@jswope4663 I can do my best haha. Down in this particular frequency range, it's mostly navigational beacons. What exactly they're used for; I'm unsure. I just like to recieve them just to say I did. These frequencies mostly go through the ground, or water unlike higher frequencies that bounce around on different layers of the atmosphere. Hope this helps!

@@KI5UCO that's different. navigational beacons, would that be perhaps like gps signals etc?

My friend, I'm new to this part of things too. I honestly have no idea what they're for

If you're talking about getting that range reliability, I'd look at a QCX qrp kit. If you're going for cheap that COULD get that far, look at a Pixie 40 meter kit. Of course, you'd need a license to operate both. Always remember, the antenna is the most important part, and can make a low power transmitter go very far. Good luck!

@KI5UCO Thank you for your valuable information, this is Siff from Bangladesh. And yeah I subscribed 😄

@mdsefat5432 well, thank you for your comments, Siff, and thank you for subscribing!

Awesome! Thank you!

@@mlr06121974 it is difficult for sure. Good luck!

@psychobillypaul4172 yes sir. Much like a shunt fed folded dipole (or a slot antenna)

@@KI5UCO thankyou will be building this tomorrow Ty again great channel

@psychobillypaul4172 I wish you luck! Finding the point of 50ohms is a bit time consuming, but an interesting design all the same.

Hi kl5 can I ask how long are the tubes either end I would like to see if my square loop will work set out like your 👍👍👍👍

The pvc is 1 foot long. I did not play around with the spacing, so I am unsure of the effect it will have.

@markkennard861 yeah, but it sure is fun!

Thank you

I agree. Not all of us have the extra cash to just buy what we want, sometimes, we've gotta build what we need

@@KI5UCO I made one with a SO-239 connector and wire coat hangers. It works great.

Fantastic!

Absolutely!

No problem. The AM broadcast station on 900khz is a country station close to my location. Normally it's lively with talk, advertisements, and music. The line on the screen, and sound, indicates that the station's transmitter is working, but is not passing any audio.

Haha absolutely

Yes sir. It's just direct fed with a piece of coax

@@KI5UCO nicee. Whats the SWR by 144-149 MHz ?

Under 2:1

@@haxboi5492 true. I don't have a machine shop out back, but the concept is still the same

Yes sir
