Just worked WT8D in EN55 and AA8CH in EN63 in United States Of America 🇺🇸 on RS-44 🛰️ using SSB

Thank you for the new grids

A quick test using an ESP32 three phase inverter dev board as a VFD to control my HyGain AR40 rotator. Looks like a promising solution to use it portable without the need for a bulky control box or an ac supply.

Anyone got a schematic of this #hp #84812a peak power sensor? The service manual I got has no schematic in it.🙃

In theory my #QTRigdoppler version should now be fully working with the #icom #ic9700 as well.
As I don't have one at hand, I'd love to get your feedback:

Two weeks ago I got this broken #HP8594 #spectrum #analyzer at #HAMRADIO fair in #Friedrichshafen
After a long night, multiple filter alignments and my own "interpretation" of the service manual, the unit is back alive⚡
Now I need a GPIB adapter & sig gen as well😝

Yes, use it or lose it.. every #hamradio Operator needs to act!🎙📡〰️📻 🛰 Get ready and send interference reports if you have them. Don't forget Bluewalker-3 and Bluebird 1-5, which are already transmitting on 430-440 MHz. Expect no help from anybody else than yourself!

Results from my short trip to 🇱🇺 as LX/DL3JOP:
➡️33 QSOs on #RS44, #JO97, #MO122 and #SO50

Thank you for the contacts! I'll upload to LoTW asap, I'm waiting for the certificate.

I was looking for an #icom #IC2725 for quite some time. Got a very good deal on this broken unit🤑. Two new PNP transistors, some cleaning and new thermal paste later, it runs like on the first day😁

Had quite a bit of fun presenting our university radio club today.
Operating three radios at once turned out to be more challenging than expected!😝

Thanks to @2m0sql.com my #QTRigdoppler fork now supports Yaesu rotators and a websocket integration.

I added binaries so everyone using Linux can test it just by downloading and starting the app with their IC-910 or IC-9700.

Added a feature I miss on both of my #icom #ic910: Data VOX!
A small circuit triggers the PTT when audio from the computer is present. Added a switch as well to disable it😊
That will make life easier for datamodes on satellite😊

Got my first part from JLCCNC
A 250 Watt RF resistor case.
A nickel strip is used to connect to the N socket.
Usable up to 70cm. RL on 23cm is only 15 dB, Z matches the datasheet, so I guess the feed is fine and I need a better R
Tnx @carsten-oz9aar.bsky.social for your ideas😁✌️

Hey guys, do you know if anyone tried to line such photo light reflectors with wire mesh to use as antennas?
Anyone might have measured the actual deviation from a parabola shape?

Quick sunday repair of my #Alinco #DJ560
Two electrolytic caps on the AF PA were dead. ESR way over multiple hundred ohms.
Replaced them and the speaker regained its full volume once again😊

I've written a quick and dirty script to plot a satellites apogee over time to plan DX QSOs.
I don't know how much I should trust it calculating the values far in the future from current TLEs

Maybe someone can sanity check if the plots are right? 😇

My #QTrigdoppler fork now supports a dummy rig when no radio is connected so you can use it without a radio📡
I also improved the GUI a little and added a status window. Still some work to do.😉

Just got a new-old radio.😝 It was sold as broken for the price of a #baofeng due to a very quiet speaker. Will fix it soon.
