104 RA 01 - Marc, Porto Vecchio, Corsica

Mai are rost oare sa comentez ceva ? :-)
Eu unul depun armele in fata acestui arsenal si ma las de radio CB... serios ! Practic n-am nici o sansa sa fac asa ceva pe plaiurile mioritice.

73's ! QRT !

LW antenna for CB

La nevoie cea mai buna ferita pt un balun de calitate este ... aerul ! :-)
"Bobina" are 5sp. trifilar de 0,75mmp folosit in electrice si un diametru de cca. 3".
Impreuna cu transmatch-ul de la Zetagi acordeaza perfect un LW clasic de 5.5m.

16FX006 - Eddy, Baal, Belgium

Este un QSL in format .pps :-) primul de acest fel pe care-l primesc ... eu care nici nu vreau sa aud de Power Point, asa ca singura solutie este sa-l pun aici pt. download, cu mentiunea ca legatura a fost in FM nu SSB.

Cu siguranta Sirio BluLine 1000 cu Avanti Grande este o cobinatie ciudata mai ales daca antena este si pusa numai in geam ... :-)  dar merge la DX ! O alta premiera : FM la .555 ! 16FX006 - Eddy, from Baal , 10:22cfr/.555->.575, Allan 555/Imax 2000 ; 1SD224 - 11:05/.580usb ; 327SD101 - Anton, Maribor in Slovenia, 11:25cfr/.585usb ;

Canale in CB11m si frecventele PMR / FreeNet

In CB 11m canalele sunt folosite mai mult dupa uzuantlele locale, dar un standard (de fapt mai mult o recomandare) in materie este cel german :

CH1 =  FM Call channel ;
CH9 = AM Call channel and emergency (SOS) , frecventa de apel urmata de QSY pe alt canal liber, cu recomandarea de a fi ascultata de citi mai multi amatori la nivel mondial pt SOS ;
CH16 = FM Water sport ("Intership bridge to bridge" :-) pt. barci, iahturi, etc.) ;
CH19 = AM Trucker channel (Franta, Italia, Spania) ;
CH24/25 = Date, digital mode (Packet Radio) ;
CH40 = Call in Swtizerland ;

Mai sunt :

CH22 = FM Info trafic auto in RO ;
CH27 = FM Call channel ;
CH31 = FM apel DX ;
CH32 = AM apel DX ;
CH33 = SSB/USB apel DX  ;

In benzile de 70cm si 2m sunt disponibile citeva frecvente libere pt. utilizare cu puteri de max. 0.5W, iar echipamente radio care le folosesc se gasesc destule pe piata la ora asta, dar nu toate au setate din fabrica canalele, asa ca tabelul de mai sus este util celor care le detin.

Citeva caracteristici tehnice si conexiunile la mik-ul cu 6 pini se pot vedea in imagine, iar pt. marire dati un click pe ea.

Pe canicula asta colegul nostru 233YO320 - "Blondul", a luat masurile de rigoare si-a montat doua "coolere" micute care s-au potrivit exact pe radiatorul statiei Avanti Grande dupa cum se si vede in imagine.

How to use an CB auto antenna indoors

First what you need is a good CB antenna, in my test I'm using one made by Sirio the "Blue Line 1000" with a big magnetic mount made from steel, fixed on a "ground" available in my room .. an unused cast iron radiator near the window.

If you want to improve a bit your artificial ground, and do a better vertical polarization, then use a metallic grid.

Make a  coil from the coax cable on the middle ... 7 to 10 turns on 10 cm (4") diameter (this is a Choke loading coill resonant on freq.)










For tuning I use an Zetagi MM27, that's made for small power (under 100w).

Yep, it's working well, and this is the SWR on the middle of CEPT band. Nice I think :-)












Anyway, the best antenna for indoors use is of course an home made :-)
This one, has a 5 ft long, and is tune with an base magnetic loading coil + tansmatch ; there is no need for a grounding system.

E clar, avem o propragare cu skip scurt de vara ... pe .575usb se aude din nou Serbia 45CB222 in legatura cu 233RL001 - Liviu, asa ca am lungit rapid antena la 8m si-am redus swr-ul la 1:1, astept sa termine qso-ul si-l strig si eu.

Iata un QSL card foarte frumos primit din Sicila.

233 YO 214 - Marius, Hunedoara, RO

Marius din Hunedoara este de astazi colegul nostru de club cu indicativul 233 YO 214 , iar datele lui de contact pentru expeditia de QSL-uri sunt deja trecute in CallBook.
Are in dotare mai multe statii, de baza este un Avanti Grande dar nu stiu ce antena foloseste, oricum lucreaza QRP.
Mult succes in activitatea de radioamator CB si legaturi DX cit mai frumoase stimate coleg.
