It's winter and -10 C

Yep, in the middle of the day we have -10 C ! Only the cat is smart ..

Daca vara statiile radio CB ne-au ferit de radare, cintare si alte filtre :-) acum sunt o sursa nepretuita de info trafic auto pe drumurile tarii.

Un alt link interesant l-am primit de la amicul 161TZ7/SP7IDJ : http://www.youtube.com/user/maurilucca

Totusi, ieri la noi in RO a fost un skip scurt cu Spania si UK in special, asa ca 233YO073 a lucrat din mobil pe CH 32 FM si 27.555 tot FM cu o statie Allamat 296 Plus preparata special pt lucrul la DX. Eu n-am facut mare lucru decit seara pe HamSphere unde au curs legaturile : VU2KDR - Khalil, era prin Dubai nu in India, 26HS2692 - Jon, 3HS740 / PU4MOZ - John din Brazilia, KB8FYG - Tom, din Ohio USA, 108HS2719 din Scotland, 21HS493 - Beng, Suedia si G1HAH - Brian.

233 YO 068 / YO8AVB - "Edi Baronu' "

Pasiunea n-are limita de vista si cel mai bun exemplu in acest sens e cu siguranta "Baronu' ".
A construit in alte vremuri vreo zece transceivere A412, iar anu' acesta cu toate piedicile vietii s-a apucat din nou de lucru. Azi una, maine alta, si uite asa si-a dotat RIG-ul de radio CB dupa cum vedeti : o statie, o sursa in comutatie, un transmach si-o antena LW marca "BSD" :-) home made, si e foarte multumit de ele.
Urmeaza si un mic QRO, dupa care asteptam propagarea de vara pt trafic la DX.

QRPP in 11m

Ce se poate face numai cu 200mW(0,2W) in 11m ? :-)
Buna intrebare !
Nici eu n-am stiut raspunsul pina acum, caci n-am avut cum sa scot o putere asa de mica dintr-o statie normala de 4000mW, dar dintr-o intimplare am ajuns in posesia unui Power Reducer PC-5 pe 50 ohmi cu trepte comutate (Vezi foto).






























Treapta cea mai mica e de 5%, antena folosita in test : LW11m pt. TX cu o statie Allamat 408, la RX o statie Allamat 296 cu o Ant ML145 Midland.
In aceste conditii a "batut" 4km in mediu urban (control la RX 5/5).

JO1DZA 160 m Directionnal Antenna

Ce antene mai fac altii prin ... Japonia. Normal :-) YouTube
Alte comentarii nu mai fac.

34 HS 793 - Canary Islands

Poate ca in imagine nu se vede prea bine .. e un QSL card din Insule Canare lucrate pe Ham Sphere de data asta.

KL40, KL203

Am primit de la 233YO068 alias "Edi baronu' "o documentatie chiar mai complecta decit prospectul original din cutia nou-nouta cu KL 40 / RM Italy :-) , asa ca l-am pus aici pt download.
Uletrior am primt si pt KL203 o documentatie tot la fel de buna care este pusa aici.

President Walker

Modulatia la President Walker se poate regla un pic din deviatia de frecventa (un semireglabil SMD amplasat unde vedeti surubelnita) dar fara un mik cu preamplificare si ecou n-am putut nici cum " s'o scot din boala " asta pt FM, caci cu AM-ul n-am reusit nimic inca.
Documentatia complecta de service este pusa aici.
Deblocarea in frecventa se face usor caci aveti numai un fir alb de taiat si-un jumper de mutat dupa care statia merge in norma RU (Russia) de 400CH.

Untitled

Pentru HamSphere nu am inca un LOG separat si nici nu cred ca e nevoie sa le separ, asa ca iata ultimile legaturi facute : 43HS835 - Ken, Victoria, AUSTRALIA ; 16HS360 - Denis, Belgia ;M3OHA - Adam ; 27HS103/27SD101MM - Simi (statie Maritim Mobile din Iceland, mai precis un pescador tras la dana pt descarcare 600To de hering, si care avea la dispozitie conexiune 3G pt laptopul de bord :-) pe linga cele doua Yaesu ), 14HS713 - Jean, Paris, France.

"Hi Silviu,

Thank you very much to your email, sorry but yesterday I don´t have time to send to you the QSL cards.I hope that you enjoy and you can put these QSL´s in your collection from the Hamsphere aplication. Wy not.?? We can do contacts and confirm them even if from voip, is another form to make radio contacts or with the same spirit.

Well, I send to you also two aplications that we use here, but in those aplication you can use gatways and you can connect your radio or use the computer to link to another gatways in 11 meters, 446, 433 MHz free bands, very good... here we have a lot of gatways some of them with the legal 0,5W and is very interesting to know what we can do with this in 446 MHz.

You can try:

http://pmr-radio.net/

http://www.freeradionetwork.eu/

I send to you also a link to a website that you can do letters and logos and download them to make a compositions in fotos or cards, is also good, after if you don´t have the Photoshop program you can use the free GIMP http://www.gimp.org/ . The link is: http://www1.flamingtext.com/net-fu/dynamic.cgi?script=chrominium-logo .

Thanks for all Silviu, I wish 73 and all the best to you and all your family and I hope to meet you again.

Your Friend

Luis - 31HS310"

Primul QSL card pe care l-am primit dupa o legatura VOIP la DX si nu pot decit sa confirm ca acesta-i adevaratul "Ham Spirit" care ne leaga, si in esenta este de vorba de doi oameni care inving spatiul reusind sa comunice unul cu altul la mare distanta, doar "sculele" si tehnologia folosita difera, dar limbajul si codurile au ramas mostenite din era radio.
Link-urile indicate mai sus sunt utile pe amatori, iar de www.freeradionetwork.eu chiar nu stiam.

In citeva ore ieri seara am putut lucra pe HamSphere o lista intreaga de DX-uri : 18HS217, 19HS800, 13HS471, 31HS310, KK5GWO, 1HS1381, OZ6AFQ, G1HAH ... totate cu noul meu indicativ din lumea virtuala : 233HS250.

Tin sa anunt membrii cubului YO DX CB ca beneficiaza de o facilitate din partea autorului softului dupa expirarea perioadei de test... asa ca pentru alte amanunte ma puteti contacta prin mail.

La ultima sesiune de examinare au luat licenta de radioamator YO : Rechinul, Mario si Cata .. activitatea din CB le-a prins bine se vede. Felicitari !

[echotangodx] Interesting video clip about the new Handheld SSB transceiver MAGNUM 1012

Hi all ,

I would like to announce you that there is a new Handheld SSB transceiver the MAGNUM 1012 available for SALE!Look this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZvHXleKfeM
Tommorow I must decide if I will obtain it....It's very nice radio for portable rare activations (DX-bombs as I use to say)It's price in USA is aprox. 250 US $ (not so expensive in my opinion)Enjoy it ,

18ET002, Jim

Eu sunt un pic mai rezervat la a da parerea caci nu l-am ascutat inca practic "live" in trafic... :-)

HamSphere - un HF transceiver simulat

Ce n-am reusit inca si-n realitate ... am reusit pe simulator :-)
Am trecut oceanul in Canada, Toronto ... "OSO" cu 9HS158, apoi o alta tara inca neconfirmata .. 107HA179 -Sebi din Ungaria ( de la care am aflat cu ocazia asta ca la ei info trafic este intr-adevar pe ch40 si DX pe 27.470), totul "lucrat" pe simulatorul software de la www.hamsphere.com
Programul nu este freeware asa ca dupa inregistrare aveti citeva zile de test la dispozitie... apoi va puteti intoarce linistiti pe Skype :-) fara QRM si QRN.
Atentie la "reglaje" sa nu supramodulati cumva ca va deconecteaza imediat. Aveti si doua filtre dsb la dispozitie + AGC, iar CW inseamna practic = chat :-)
Atentie si la "propagare" caci programul simuleaza si asta.. . asa ca alegeti atent banda de lucru !

"...Welcome to HamSphere - The virtual Amateur Radio band.

The transceiver has a DX cluster that helps you finding other stations.
You should call CQ on either 40m or the 6m band where the most activity is.
As the HamSphere conditions and propagations vary over the 24 hours, please use the Transceiver at different times to get the feeling for the system.
Good luck with your QSO and DX Hunting! "

PS. Dupa expirare programul nu mai merge din pacate decit la la RX/40m ... si nici CB -ul nu e macar free :-) asa cum era normal sa fie. Mare greseala !
