Wow sorry to hear, RIP Paul.

It is all the rage on 6 meters, I am amazed how well it works and when the band opens you can work a lot of stations. You don't hear a SSB signal or CW and yet FT8 pulls out the signal. A couple of log examples: The Canary Islands 7/20/2017 EA8DBM,IL18, 50.3148 FT8 The Joe Taylor...

I was working at Bellcore, a spin off of Bell Labs, when Mr. Smith passed. A lot of the old Bell Lab worker knew and had at one time worked with him.

Anyone trying out the new FT8 mode? Made a lot of contacts on 6 meters, even when the band looked dead.

Congrats, Kilo Delta two Most Valuable Player

Pick a time and frequency and see if it would work, is anyone mid-country that can act as net control??

Have one of the Arrow J-Pole on my roof, I bought it at Dayton a couple of years back from the "Arrow Man" himself. It works well.

I will give it a try but a coast to coast QSO on HF is not a every day occurrence. I can do VHF and I have not been on Echolink in years. Basically I like 40 & 20 PSk31..

I attend Dayton Ham-fest and the one in Orlando Florida and see all of the old vintage stuff in the flea markets. I have never been tempted to buy any of the equipment for nostalgic reasons as I know it will only accumulate dust in my house. The old stuff is nice to reminisce about but not for...

Congrats,

Brian this is a great antenna, I have one up 45 feet and configured as an inverted V, I am able to band hope the HF band with ease. I have the 80 meter to 6 meter version. Try and and keep the ladder line straight and off the ground. I once had it loaded on 160 meters and was able to make a SSB...

It handled the the hardware interface very well. You do have to open up a lot of windows but once you get use to it is a very nice SDR. I was playing around with it before a ham radio club meeting and the group that were watching me were impressed on how well it pick up the local police. I had...

Have you tried the SDRPlay software SDRuno?

Congratulation, Brian, it is a great hobby. Had my license for 58 years, still holding my original call WA2ACV. Besides SSB, you are going to like some of the new digital modes. My favorite is PSK31, yesterday I worked France & Venezuela and had a 30 minute keyboard conversation with a ham down...

Congratulation, It is a life long hobby. First Tech license for me was June 1958, kept my original call 58 years. Here is another site for studying for your license: http://www.ham-cram.com/

The price of the FCC license for GMRS is very steep. Had paid for a license and hardly used it. I wish you good luck with it. Let me know how the battery life is. I had purchased some Motorola GMRS that had a very poor battery life. I bought a pair so that I could use when traveling,I could...

Got it, did you post an article on the L band antenna. I was going to take dismantle my dish for the winter, I can build an L band antenna and give it a try before I put the FTA stuff to bed for the winter.. I am working on getting all my robot and makers stuff up to pare. I am going to...

I was tracking the ISS APRS about 4 years ago, I see now that there a lot more APRS messages. I was using very old decoding APRS software, my Bearcat Scanner and a mobile 2 vertical in the house. 4 years ago, I was laid up with a fracture ankle, at the time and it took me about a month to work...

There is audio spectrum analyzer plugin for SDR#: I had used the old one that they say no longer works http://www.rtl-sdr.com/sdrsharp-plugins/ cursor down to Audio Waterfall Plugin the new looks interesting and is new as October 1, 2016...

Good Job, I see that you are not using SDR#, I have been having problems with SDR# lately, I have upgraded to the latest issues and I had download my SDRPlay driver and it would not place the SDRPlay in the pull down window. I had to write an add line to frontend.eml. That got it to work. My...

Your most south point of the arc is 74s degrees, so 20 degrees SE of your most S point would put you around 54E degrees, 24 degrees SW of your most S point would put you at 98W. Since 98W is close to 97W, you might get interference from the many signals emitting from 97W. I guess 54W would be...
