1RGK362 - Giuseppe, Roma, ITALY




Din nou un QSL din Italia, exemplarul primit prin posta,... cu adevarat "la primera division" No.1 !
La un capat, in Italia e un IC-751 (60w) cu o antena Mantova, iar la celalant in Romania e o Cobra 148 GTL , cu o antena Home Made si un EA-35 (100w).

Jul 2, 2011

Bada este deschisa aproape toata ziua pina noaptea tirziu, asa ca se poate lucra usor cu Europa la 1000...2000 km, iar cei cu echipamente bune ajung si-n America de Sud ( Brazilia si Columbia).
Citeva indicative lucrate : 13AR001 - Thomas, 35SD153 - Chris, 1RGK220 - Maximiliano, 1AM615 - Andrea, 327AL01 - Andrej, 1EEN - Francesco, 1RB027 - Max, 1ON/NA - "special activiation" Don, 1AT704 - Nicola, 1RP012 - Domenico, 14AY022/MM (RX/SWL)

.......the only thing I've found that I can do for hours on end without getting bored is DXing.

I've found that many people claim that DXing is too hard, or that they don't have the equipment, or that QSLing is too expensive.

I have one of the most basic setups a ham can have. Being 13 years old, I certainly don't have money to throw around, nor do I have the experience time in ham radio to be an expert.

So how did I end up with 182 countries?

DXing is something that EVERYONE can enjoy. And nobody says that you have to QSL to be a DXer. Many hams I talk to are DXers with over 200 countries but not a single QSL card to speak of. DXing is not hard. You simply need too remember these five, simple rules:

1) You Always listen before transmitting
2) You are Always courteous
3) There is always propagation to somewhere
4) Know your propagation
5) Be patient

If you already follow these 5 rules, you have 99% of what you need. For those who don't have unlimited time, a computer can be useful to pick up some DX spots. Some good spot sites are DXwatch.com, or DX summit. Your equipment matters very little for the first 50 to 75 countries. If you are very patient and willing to learn a little technique, you can stick with QRP to a wire for those earlier QSO's. But the easiest way to go is 100w plain transceiver and a Dipole or a good vertical.

There are excellent books out there. Too many to name, some good ones are the DXCC handbook by the ARRL, and "The complete DXer". Both are available from the ARRL.

ORE 19:10 del 23-06-2011 collegamento con Silvio - Romania


Ciao Silvio,

questa è la mia prima qsl che spedisco dopo 25 anni di inattavità sulla 27.

Trasmetto con un SuperStar 3900 eft + antenna 5/8 lambda, circa 10 watt di poteenza.

Tu mi arrivavi con S3-5 R4.

Scusami per la mail molto semplice, ma mi devo ancora organizzare con qualche cosa di + bello.

Il mio QTH: via Carducci 17, Cusago, 20090, Milano.

Un abbraccio da

Luca Caluso (1RGK074)


Cit se poate de simplu si performant in Italia la TX, iar in Romania la RX :-) si legatura a fost posibila cu un pic de propagare.

Italy - "Il Conte"


O legatura frumoasa cu Italia facuta in FM, si nu in AM cum lucreaza ei de regula. Este legatura radio confirmata prin SMS .. :-) prima de acest fel, dupa care am schimbat QSL-uri normale intre noi. Statia italiana "Il Conte" a fost lucrata si de catre 233YO073.

KL40 versus EA-35

KL 40

EA-35

Doua modele de amplificatoare KL40 si EA35, aproximativ identice ca putere out, diferenta majora este sistemul de comutare receptie/emisie (RX/TX), la KL40 este statica cu diode, iar la EA35 cu releu. Ambele solutii au avantaje si dezavantaje specifice. Practic, pt. FM folosind o statie sensibila e bun KL 40 caci semnalul se mai filtreaza si atenueaza prin circuilul LC serie si nu riscati probleme de comutare cu releul, pt. SSB insa, EA - 35 atacat de o Cobra 148 GTL a fost mai bun in teste, am capatat 5/9 in Elevetia, iar Herr Gustav 13CE103 din Stuttgart de data asta a dat ok :-) caci nu au mai fost probleme pe modulatie.

PROPAGATION: SCIENTISTS SAY SOLAR CYCLE HEADED INTO LIMBO

For years, astronomers and space scientists have been predicting the Sun would move into solar maximum by around 2012. During this period there would be many intense flares and lots of sunspot activity. Now they are thinking that the opposite may be happening:

According to three studies released in the United States on Tuesday, June 14th, experts believe the familiar sunspot cycle may be shutting down and heading toward a pattern of inactivity unseen since the 17th century.

According to experts from the National Solar Observatory and Air Force Research Laboratory, the signs of this include a missing jet stream, quickly fading spots, and slower activity near the poles.

Frank Hill is the Associate Director of the National Solar Observatory 's Solar Synoptic Network. At a meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Solar Physics Division in Las Cruces, New Mexico Hill said that the fact that three completely different views of the Sun point in the same direction is a powerful indicator that the sunspot cycle may be going into hibernation.

As every ham knows, solar activity tends to rise and fall in 11 year cycles. The solar maximum and solar minimum each mark about half the interval of the magnetic pole reversal on the Sun, which happens every 22 years.

According to Hill, the current cycle, number 24, may be the last normal one for some time but the next one, cycle 25, may not happen for some time. He adds that this is important because the solar cycle causes space weather which affects modern technology and may contribute to climate change.

Experts are now probing whether this period of inactivity could be a second Maunder Minimum. This was a 70-year period from 1645 to 1715 when hardly any sunspots were observed. For ham radio such a prolonged solar minimum would mean very little in the way of High Frequency DX for a very long time. (This includes 11 Meter)

3 DA 012, BRAZIL - SWL, 11m CB








Este un QSL primit pt o confirmare de receptie numai SWL :-( caci din pacate echipamentul modest folosit in QRP nu a putut mai mult ... si dintr-o eroare de tipar trebuie sa impart "gloria" cu 233YO068 care e trecut pe QSL :-) Oricum, meritam caci de atiea ori am discutat impreuna tot felul de probleme de tehnica radio incit nu-mi pare rau .. e o realizare comuna.
La urmatoarea propagare buna ... cu aceiasi batrina Cobra 148 GTL + ceva Made in Romania si Italia :-) promit sa fie o legatura complecta.

Jun 13, 2011

Din nou un pic de propagare, mai zgomotoasa ea, dar a inceput pe la 16 cfr si a tinut pina la 18cfr. Skip-ul a fost in special cu N EU : 13CE103 - Gustsav din Stuttgart ; Tony tot din Stuttgart (italian dar o rupe pe romaneste) ; 13CF972 - Patrick; 13AT322; 13FO; 13DL100; 13TE12 - Roland; 13GR - Gunter; Herr Dimitri din Luxemburg; si 47SL18 - Sorin, Danemarca.

Un punct se acorda lui 233YO099 - Grasu' pentru legatura cu 13DM - Eduard din Munchen, facuta pe 37FM la ora 18cfr :-)

Ma uit la prognoza de propagare si e trecut cu rosu "Poor" ... pai cind o sa fie verde ?! :-)

PS. repriza secunda a inceput pe la 20cfr asa ca mai trecem in LOG : OE3AAS - din Viena (QSO in lb. romana); 161SM04 din Polonia si 13DLMC din Berlin.
13AT704 in apropiere de Luxemburg.

Jun 11, 2011

De la soare, de la schimbarea de vreme, nu stiu sigur, dar a fost propagare tipica de vara in CB11m, asa ca am mai umplut doua pagini cu legaturi in LOG : 1AC03 - Germano din Parma, impreuna cu Aurelio si Renato, 1AN448 - Paulo care si-a amintit imediat ca am mai lucrat impreuna si-am schimbat QSL card deja, 13EL, 13CT, 13RM, 13SI, 13PT02,13KB,13RH01 - Roland, 13DAB01 - Sebastian, si 15JUMBO mobil, sunt numai citiva pe care am apucat sa-i scriu pe hirtie, iar pt. final mai trecem si TA5AKD - Dardu, in trecere prin Deva... :-)
O alta bucurie pentru mine a fost cind am auzit pentru prima data in CB : "... the Romanian station please change the frequency ! ... " asta pe CH 31 FM, nu eram eu "vinovatu' fara vina" ci 233YO073 - Coco, care tragea de zor cu "brecko Romania !" si probabil ca "deranja" ceva pe undeva cu semnalul lui asa de tare si clar :-)

Propagarea tipica de vara in CB11m a inceput, asa ca in zilelea din urma amatorii au putut face lejer legaturi in Europa, atit in FM cu puteri ceva mai mari, cit si SSB lucrind QRP.
Cu aceasta ocazie au aparut si QSO-uri confirmate prin SMS :-) sau prin martori ("seniori" ai clublui care confirma ei legaturile efectuate de catre "juniori") asa ca trebuie sa puncatm si aceste legaturi, primul benficiar este 233YO073 - Coco, cu 2 pct. acumultate (legaturi in FM mobil cu : Italia si Germania 13DR) urmat de "Piedone" cu 1 pct. pt legatura in FM cu un TIR romanesc aflat in apropiere de Venetia .

Chat romanesc in CB

Pe asa o propagare nu-i de mirare ca am dat si peste un chat net romanesc in CB ! :-) Pe 27.635 usb, 1SA125 - Mircea era impreuna cu : 30SAG01 - Razvan din Valencia, 233CS001 - Andrei din Resita, si 233SD102- Dan din Bucuresti, dar din pacate propagarea era pe sfirsite si i-am pierdut neputind sa intru in legatura cu Mircea care era "dispecerul".
