Divizia 148
Azi a fost un pic de propagare, nu cine stie ce dar la limita cu 5/5-4 am auzit pt. prima data divizia : 148 . ora 15:04 GMT. Necazul a fost ca auzeam cum alte statii din Portugalia si Spania lucrau cu Brazilia si Peru din Sud America ... :( Asta e !
Aug 24, 2011
In ultima vreme n-a fost mare propagre prin CB11m, ori n-am fost eu chiar pe "faza" ... :-) caci mai sunt si alte lucruri de facut pe lumea asta.
Am lucrat in 19.08.11/19:30 cfr, ins. Corsica cu un raport de 5/5, si am auzit numai in 23.08.11/10:56 GMT, pe 1ET010 din Sicilia, ambele statii in modul de lucru SSB.

Antena CB "fishpole"
[Antena "S9" de la Midland montata dupa acelasi principiu.
Masa metalica a suportului si un cablu coaxial ceva mai lung asigura "contragreutatea" necesara bunei functionari ( de fapt o rezerva de electoni liberi din metal care pot fi "pompati" in antena de catre generatorul RF si invers ...)
SWR-ul fara transmatch este de 2,5:1, nu e rau deloc, si oricum ATU optimizeaza totul.]
In ultima vreme am primit prin mail si telefon tot felul de intrebari despre antenele de CB, iar intrebarea care-i framinta pe mai multi incepatori este ce antena de mobil pot sa foloseasca pt. o statie fixa ... :-) Raspunsul meu la aceasta intrebare este ca se poate folosi, dar greu, cu randament mic la emisie, o ant. de cel putin 1,5m gen "S9" (in teste am folosit un Midland S9 si un Sirio Super S9) adaptata cu transmacth.
Cel mai bine este sa construiti in regim "home-made" o antena, si-n trecut v-am recomandat un dipol sau LW , acum va mai prezint o solutie tehnica, pe care am gasit-o prezentata cu ani in urma (1990) de catre HA5DQ - Jonas Istvan, intr-un articol cu numele "Ablakantenna 14-18-21-24-28 MHz". N-am inteles mai deloc partea scrisa din articol, :-( dar desenul tehnic e totusi o limba univesala :-) In principiu e vorba de o simpla antena cu un singur element radiant, dimensionat in L/4, realizat de autor din teava, si montat inclinat la 45 de grd. pe perete, adptat cu un L-match.
Eu am modificat contructia si-am folosit fir gros de Cu prins de o banala undita de 3,6m din care am scos doua segmente subtiri din virf, iar adaptarea am facut-o cu un transmacth obisnuit de la Zetagi. Singura cota de respectat este lungimea radiantului de 270 cm, in rest totul ramine la latitudinea constructorului. Inca mai testez aceasta antena, dar la prima vedere rezultatele sunt multumitoare.

109 ET 102 - Pista, Ungaria
Azi un "val de propagare" frumoasa mi-a adus inca o tara pe care inca n-o aveam lucrata : Ungaria ! 109 ET 102 - Pista, la 20km de Budapesta, ora 18:35cfr.
Se auzeau bine statii din toata Europa : Austria, Germania, Turcia, Franta si Spania ...
Am mai lucrat pe linga Ungaria si : Croatia, Germania, Austria si Italia (Pino din Catania), totul in SSB.
Jul 22, 2011
Seara a fost un pic de propagare si-am testat pt prima data la DX antena magnetica indor si Cobra 148 GTL ... cu numai cei 4w out am reusit doua legaturi cu Italia : 1RGK273 - Mario, Sicilia si 1CR121 - Lorenzo.
Ciao
Intre timp am primit si o confirmare din Sicila :

In vizita la "Crcodilu' "
Amicul nostru din clubul de CB, cunoscut sub indicativul "Crocodilu' " , a avut ceva probleme la echipamentul ICOM din doatre, dar de vreo doua trei luni e mai bun ca nou, cu un microfon cadou de la firma Matra, desi restul a fost un esec la reparatie :-) . Asa ca am fost curios sa-l aud cum e pe noua lui antena verticala cu 4 radiali, deci am plecat intr-o vizita la sediul lui de linga Deva.
In cca o ora cit am stat linga o halba de bere buna si rece :-) am lucrat usor toata Europa cu toate ca nu era cine stie ce propagare deschisa ... : 14SD259 - Manuel, 29WT200 - Mick, 18AR060, 19EL777 , + o statie din Suedia, asta la inceput asa ca n-am scris indicativul, si lista ar fi fost mult mai lunga dar ne-a presat timpul, berea, si povestile :-) ... am primit numai 5/9 .. +15 Concluzia ? Echipamentul e mai mult decit OK !

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.

Cred ca cel mai bun comentariu la cele de mai sus sunt aici :
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.

KL40 versus 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 :-)
