trying FT8  on 70.174 MHz      
Unfortunately there is no general agreement about FT8 dial frequency in Europe
hence there is no FT8 activity in the 4m band 

1 DL ? using  70.151    within the 2018 DL 70.150  70.180  window
 70.174  seems to be already used  before

Logical the FT8 Dial  frequency  must be in the DL allocation 70.150 70.180

For the time being i choose  DIAL 70.174 MHz  for FT8

or no i take  70151  or 150 ....  in the ES season already started
UN3M  and other Kazahstan activity have been in the past at 70.090  and 70150

So why not the lowest DL window frequency 70.150  USB  sideband is above 70.150
I will run 70150  my own frequency choice  fttb.

i still have QSL cards available



HF PA0GIN sk.

                                                            that is me in the VW fan  we had the VHF and 70cm
                                                 the old keyer used for MS was very difficult to program i remember only  after some training one could manage to forfill the exact timing to input a message in the memory..

June summer contest 50MHz UKSMG

                                            l2 hours 6m all modes https://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html

FT8 heard VP2EIH VE1PZ  PZ5RA PV8DX YV5LI HH2JR HH70A (WSJT-x refused to pick up that callsign with d-click) and HI  KP4   but only  CO8LY was 2-way on  alternative 50.323
one way propagation for all other DX
They where working Italians but Mediterranean ham's can work  late night into the Caribbean
   while here the band is closing short after sunset.

Weekend lot of contest activity   unlike HF easy  PG7V  contest calendar
for  VHF UHF contest date's there is no easy complete calendar site? 


 Microwave contest  Saturday June 2 1200u  Sunday 1200u
     managed 8 QSO   1296 MHz   after  an easy random  QSO with OK2
      activity dropped and  no more sked's requests at KST2ME
I like 23cm. My station is good RX  and TX >30W direct  at the 1m2 dish feedpoint
But too much noise for me.
Same time 6m was buzzing so i decided for contest at 6m

WA7BNM  did not mention the AEGEAN contest
AEGEAN  UTC and Sunday 03 June 2018 13:00 UTC (24 hours duration).
so i choose N1MM contest type VHF serial Region1
rst serial and grid(6)
simultanious:
UKSMG  6m field day contest   2/3 June 1300 to 1300UTC  rst serial loc(6)

Confusing also
 Dutch Kingdom contest HF +6M  exchange  RST  SERIAL

NP2J  fb "ears" heard cq'n long time with 419 to 529 not busy
on request got a contest report thanks for ODX fb! just before  contest closing time
 KP4EIT  is a worked longtime before for most 6m HAM's
Would have been nice to receive a contest number  then it would be my ODX
now it was just a 59 thanks contact

Contest organisation and activity in the U.K. is at  high standard.

then it was dinner time ..
confusing this 2nd FT8 dial frequency cluster reported frequency 50323kHz
but there the audio offset was 1kHz too  high

signals where fading in and out as usual but FT8 is fast
JT65 seems to be forgotten it's only  FT8

PSK reporte nice map but sometimes not all is reported

This day was a top ES day i think also ES at 144MHz but had to leave the shack in afternoon

when  returned home 21:30  50MHz still wide open
Very good DX in FT8 mode  N.A. stronger then ever,
 unfortunately no response of any DX
I guess the band was too crowded  and SE Europe
 better DX and stronger in USA DX-ing  always been easier from S-Europe
The N-Eu hams have to work longer anyway to bring up the high costs for the EU...
deja vue but now in FT8 mode
After some useless calling with FT8
I left the FT8 zoo for old fashion CW and phone
Very quiet the regular frequencies normally crowded in this kind of openings
 50110 VO1FOG Larry  loud to S9  had a long talk with him it was not busy at all..
Larry was VY0HL  and  keeper of  famous beacon VE8BY now VY0SNO FP53rs
heard regular in previous circle many years ago
this beacon is running 25 years now it get hot and some power supplies died but it is still running

this evening  heard VO1ZA  50.036  and new stronger 50.002 VO1FFR/B
not heard VY0SNO 
Only VO1 and VE1  only here in JO33 in analog mode
QSO VO1CAL  using an end fed wire at 6M
VO1MP  with 20m band dipole..
After 01:30 local i switched to FT8 50313 still crowded and not only VO1 but W in EM EL FM etc
I guess the presence of strong S-EU was a bit lower at this early time   W was able to  copy me!
Before i had asked Larry VO1FOG whether my signal was okay i had some doubt since I was absolute not noticed in FT8..
best dx was ZF1EJ  so no wonder why HAM prefer FT8 for DX, at that time 50.110 was deserted 
some hams dislike FT8  F..k the 8 they say.
For me i like dx-ing no matter what envelope it is send in..
Of course VO1FOG contact in phone has much more value then a computer exchange.
But resisting new developments newer been successful in the past
Who is is still using hand keys and tape recorders for MS? and  mechanical RTTY machines?

In the end we will be replaced by robot all together

DAC 144MHz

June 5, 2018, 5:26 pm
$

Very good tropo and great activity in analogue modes at good old 144MHz
The RSGB contest starting 1 hour later has very high participation.
in the end several contact numbers were over 200 like SK7MW
Took my old Braun SE400  back from the shelf.
It is sensitive low noise has just few internal generated birdies
No CAT connection in 1970  RF out is just below 10W.
So i had a handwritten log like in the 70'ties..
It can be modified  replacing the old hot TTL frequency counter unit box right (5V 2A...)
And install a PLL controller including CAT connection to connect it to N1MM logger. And WSJT-x



Fished  just in time a new 4m / 2m duoband antenna in the mast right after dinner in super summer weather.
Based upon  DK7ZB 4m 5 ele and VHF 3 band  design.
 btw last weekend UKSMG contest Martin  IS0/DK7ZB  9++ signal...
I wanted to replace my 3 band mini beam with a bigger 2 band 4M 2M no 6M elements
Avoiding the risk to pick up too much RF from the 7ele 6m yagi below on the 2m set.

Added 7  144MHz  elements that fits on the existing boom.
The first 3 144MHz element are based upon  DK7ZB  3 band VHF  mini.
By adjusting the element positions archived good match 1 : 1.5 for both 2 and 4m
Although  adding the shorter 2m elements will not affect the 4m tuning much
It the shorter 2m element are more affected by the integration and parasitic coupling
The  Antenna is fed  50Z  without balun at the 4m dipole, the 2M parasitic radiator had to be close to the 4m driven element 3.5cm spacing to bring the SWR down to 1.5 the position of 2m elements differ quite much from the original 3band element spacing.
All elements  10mm tube except the last 2M director an old Veron beam element i had left.
Elements are isolated from the boom using Stauf clamps 10mm for 4m
and some other 10mm element holders.
Fixed to the 20mm square boom 3m20 with 2 crossed tyrap's each.
Modified the Stauf clamps with a 3mm deep 20mm wide trance clamp will keep square to the boom.  With the advantage that they can be fixed without drilling and spacing can be optimized for best matching.
Most critical positions are the radiator and the first 3  directors.
With hand effect upon the SWR i saw that the 2m radiator rf was distributed symmetrical.
I saw no use of a balun but kept the last part of coax separated from the boom.
The first director had to be kept clear from other metal or even myself .
The SWR raised when approaching it.
I could not see any effect of the reflector  upon the SWR at all.
Even by touching it with an element rod did not show any effect on SWR.
I had the impression that the 2m reflector close to the 4m reflector can omitted, but i wil have to see what happens to the f/b ratio on a near field test signal.

The few year ago made DK7ZB  mini antenna performs real good for it's small size 1m25.
But the long 7 element 6m yagi clearly picks up less noise from the neighbor Solar power installation.
The DK7ZB mini beam has 3 element 2m  and 2 element 4 and 6m
With that antenna the noise started to increase already halfway directed to the noise source
at 50m  probably radiated from below.
The 7ele 9m yagi starts picking up noise first at about  10 dgs  from the noise source.
a substantial lower noise level.
Last week this Solor Edge PV SE8k converter was professional tested again by  A.T.
The  EMC department of  Telecom and it was tested not compliant to the legal EMC norm.
So there is hope for a solution for the now over 2 year lasting RFI problem.


    On top the modified  5ele 4M - 7ele 2m  Below  7 ele 6m yagi  home brew

The fist test 4m 2m performs well  front to back and directivity is good  SWR is 1: 1.5

By coincidence! the 144MHz montly DAC started just after the antenne was up.
And with super tropo signals
f.i. G1YBB/P  IO82lb  was booming S9  he was also using 10W
super tropo DX  for me the first test ! EI3KD in CW  1011km  my old Stiveco keyer was connected
and EI3KD came back right away woow

OK1DOY 59 GI4SNA 59 GW8ASD/P GW4ZAR/P GD0AMD/P GM4AFF GM4BYF 59

I just made a super antenna ;-)
this morning  144401 ( could be 402 )  OY6BEC IP62 heard S1 S2
a pleasure to listen with the Braun SE400 zapping the band..

1296 MHz DAC June 19

1296MHz activity evening every 3 rd tuesday
17-21 UTC   local 19:00 22:00  RSGB starts/ends 1 hour later

Propagatie erg matig voor juni
toch gemakkelijk in CW.. SM7DTE en SM6VTZ  > 600km

Slechts 6 QSO
Ik wilde nu eens  FT8  mode op 23cm proberen

1 QSO FT8 op cq  DK1KDA JO30  zijn 1e FT8 op 1296MHz

FT8 is  heel weinig doorgedrongen in de microgolf wereld
Het zou de activiteit en resultaat op deze band sterk kunnen verbeteren

Helaas zijn de microgolf amateurs van het behoudende type?
UHF: paper log  straight key no LOTW
maar wel Airscout en KST2ME dat wel

De DAC kan zich met FT8 op 23cm  op één frequentie afspelen.
1296.500  de default WSJT  dial frequentie
Een belangrijk voordeel voor het tot stand komen van een QSO op 23cm.
Niet meer  random frequenties zoeken  voor USB of CW.
Zo blijft alleen het richten van de antenne over.
Kan ook op 1296.165 zijn de "Engelse" linksdraaiende frequentie..
Men heeft daar weer voor een eigen frequentie gekozen.
Zo is ook de FT8 frequentie 4m 70.154 ontstaan
De "belangrijkste" amateurs  en de grootste gemene deler bepaald de frequentie.
70.150 USB lijkt me de slimmere keuze in het 30kHz DL 70.150-70.180 deel
Maar ja aanpassen aan de cloud in PA
Zolang iedereen maar dezelfde afstemming gebruikt gaat het goed.

Een veel gebruikte argument tegen  digimode's als FT8
"Is maar niks een echt QSO  gaat  zonder hulp van PC in CW of met (kool) microfoon..
Is een beetje gezocht, iedereen heeft  zijn eigen voorkeur en interesse
Wie heeft er nu geen PC aan met ondersteunende HAM software?
Logger  pan adapter  CW / RTTY PSK ?
Natuurlijk een verbinding van HAM tot HAM met de microfoon of keyer /sleutel heeft meerwaarde

Maar nu gaat het om een contest cq activiteit avond
Het doel is dan toch om zo veel mogelijk verbindingen te maken?
Af en toe een kort praatje / chat geen probleem het is niet de CQWW

Om op 23cm en hoger niet beperkt te zijn tot lokale QSO's  is ondersteuning met  PC en  ON4KST  of   KST2ME  en AIRSCOUT onmisbaar

Het argument tegen FT8 dat het een PC  mode is en zonder PC geen verbinding mogelijk is valt hiermee weg want zonder PC is er ook vrijwel geen "klassieke" verbinding mogelijk


Maar helaas dus FT8 is ongebruikt op 23cm

op 2 4 en 6m wordt  inmiddels veel FT8 gebruikt  en dat geeft toch een grote activiteit toename
FT8 is snel genoeg voor ES op 2m en de decoding is beter dan met CW
Op 2m met de kale IC706 + 7 ele h.m. 2/4m antenne OK gewerkt en HB9 sterk gehoord
Het is wachten op een nieuwe generatie HAM's die op microgolf ook digi modes gaan gebruiken

Om misverstanden te vermijden graag een QSO met CW of phone
maar FT8 is zeer gewaardeerd  als DX / contest mode mode


Dan de 6m propagatie,

We hebben het hier al weer een beetje gehad
de propagatie zone is  langzaam naar het zuiden vertrokken
af en toe komt nog een verdwaald signaaltje aan in JO33hg
FM5AN 1 decode PJ4NX  -15dB  1x
en als er werkbare signalen te horen zijn is het maar afwachten of ze je willen horen
de Italianen Spanjaarden Bulgaren Roemenen knallen er uit aan de DX kant
zo'n zielig signaaltje uit JO33hg dat is maar niks..

een paar honderd km zuidelijker ziet het er heel anders uit
deja vue

in LZ YO I EA  elke avond 6M open naar USA S.A.   s'morgens JA BY BV

K3 144XVTR

144 build into my K3
The "Ukrainian"   XVTR 144MHz that i had resting 1/2 year or  1 year? on the shelf
 It works ! and  had a  first contact at 144.174  in FT8 !
I wanted to talk with someone for the first contact, but no victim could be found, whole 144- 146 empty but there was life on FT8 144.174 .
This Ukrainian Transverter-shop type transverter  is very tiny and very well designed high quality low prize it fits very well into the K3 cabinet.
Transverters have never been so affordable ready build. If i compare my 6m 4m and 23cm Xverter projects nice experience but it took months and a lot more € to get on air.
I Mounted on an aluminium heatsink plate 86x50x10
 2x  M2.5  The PCB does not accept M3  it fits nice into the K3

Real 10W RF,  frequency stability with a 54MHz cristal is beyond expectation.
No issue running WSPR or FT8
If more stability would be needed i prefer Taitien VCXO if available
Very good experience with the TAITIEN 27MHz VCXO rock stable standalone.
I was a bit worried of cooling issues, but the XVTR did not noticeable warm up after some 45 minutes FT8 tx-ing with 10W out.
The efficiency is high with the RD15HVF1 Mitsubishi FET way over 50%
.Easy to set up a 2nd XVTR in the K3 config  the 1rst is an external 70MHz

Some issues i had/have:
The switching using PTT-out does not work when it is simultane connected with the HF ACOM1000 KEY-IN. The ACOM holds the PTT line at 5V in open state.
Te TX 8V does not switch off  complete and RX 8V does not switch in, so the RX was very deaf at that time after unplugging the ACOM it is okay.
PTT needs a relay or opto coupler interface.
Possible other to the PTT line connected rigs can also make this problem.

It is needed to switch between the internal and external XVTR.
Both XVTRS use the KVX3 ( old type) XVTR-IN line for 28MHz Tx/Rx
connecting them parallel give extra noise and loss of signal.
The output level of the KVX3 max 1.5mW  is more then enough  1mW is full drive.
I have not yet found a way to use the DIGOUT 0 -1 to do the switching.
DIGIOUT-1 is already in use to switch between 160m/80m antenna
The Original Elecraft KXV144 has a controller  to the AUX-BUS to address  XVTRS
It's nice to be able to address several XVTRS using bus control.
Modern rigs can hardly be build without internal device busses like I2C
Nice but  a data bus can  buzz.
The K3 internal bus  generates noisef.i. a rattle bus noise can be heard when tuning the dial with antenna open at 50MHz
Best is to avoid use of databus and or controllers in low noise devices 

I have drilled an extra 15mm hole through the KPA100 shield plate to lead the  RG58  cable to the antenna BNC in the FAN plate.
In the FAN back panel I made an extra hole below the existing  20A fuse hole and swapped the fuse a position down
The Fuse hole filled out a bit for the Antenna BNC
 I use a feed trough type BNC female to female that makes removing the FAN back plate easy.
The XVTR aluminium heathsinc plate is fixed to the left side panel with 2 M3  the xverter can be removed easy loosing the 2 M3 screws and unplugging the 2  4 pin connectors.
86mm is the size beween the KPA100 shield and left side plate
The XVTR PCB measures 82 x 45 mm,  2mm extra space each side left
2  M3 screws fix the XVTR to the panel. Heath (there is no ..)  can leave the cabinet through the left panel.
The underside of the alu heatsink needs an 10mm Hole at the position of the 8mm screw that fix the 2nd receiver If installed.
So far so good.

some glimps of DX here in JO33hg  25 June
June has been very poor in real DX  here sofar
signals very thin -17 -20 and only short decoded
other parts off EU seem to be in  better position

after midnight in direction north PI4GN  location  JO33ii
 Magic night  birds still singing

PA0O/A
We tested the 70cm rig at the contest location in JO33II
OY6BEC  432402 was booming loud all evening 9+10

not many stations dough

but G7RAU IN79 was worked CW/Phone
some G  extreme loud  with 1W or 20W
no special tropo to SM6VTZ 529
strong duct over north sea

today morning Saturday 30 June G7RAU to +2 at 144174
and GM0HTT Orkney IO89JC S5  got 519 CW
would have been easy in FT8 ;-)..

It is possible  VU3KAZ  spots at 6m  27 June   i had a visitor and did not attend FT8
Saw the decodes of VU2NKS  in FT8 but the opening was over.
This might have been the last 50MHz DX opening this season in JO33hg before it al shifts definitive to the south
Only 1 ES signal heard at 144MHz just a 30 seconds RA1AS in May What a difference with 2017
2 1/2 hour 144MHz ES to the Ukraine and 1 long opening to TA 

h.f.  DP0GVN excellent receiving at Southpole base  even with 100mW one day

U3S and 1-80MHz 5W eBay

July 5, 2018, 12:20 am

Last year I build some QRP-LAB U3S  multimode beacon transmitters.
The goal was   5W on all HF and 6m
This goal was never reached.  the QRP-LABS  5W PA could only make 1W at 50MHz
3W at 28MHz  it delivers 5W at the low bands only.
The QRP LAB "5W PA" uses the IRF510 or  RD15HVF1  with 9:1 wide band transformer out
As simple as can be. The RD15HVF1 is a VHF 10W FET it should easy deliver 5W  at all bands up to 144MHz
f.i. the excellent 144MHz (transverter-store) RD15HVFoutput is over 10W +
But whatever i tried with the QRPLAB 5W PA at 12V  3W at 50MHz was the max

I gave up the time  consuming experiments and accepted  3W # 50.293 MHz

Now found some eBay RF amplifiers that looked promising
the 2W   1-930MHz  2 of them could make 4W?
Good looking but this one 0.5W   only   not the stated 2W  useless for me.


Then the 2 -80MHz 5W  ,more expensive 50$  looks a bit sloppy
SMD soldering was very! sloppy
But it delivers 5W almost over the whole  range 2-80MHz  even more 7W at 28 and below
and still power 2W? at 475kHz  my power meter is not specified  below 50MHz
supply only 11.5V  1A   at 1mW drive
the bias is high 0.9A it can be adjusted lower but then the output  drops to 3W
The PCB design is good   that is what counts most.



Device stamps are removed  Source is pin2/flange  what else can it be then a RD15HVF1
So the Chinese use a REAL RD15HVF1 for their own products..

The U3S output is way to high for the maximum needed 1mW
I reduced it with the bias of the BS170 but that is a very sensitive tuning.
Some mistake and drive was 50mW the input amplifier a 3 pole HEMT type was blown
shorting  the 8V that is also used for the RD15 bias
The power FET was  still okay but bias was only 100mA and no output.
I removed the preamp  guess it's a SPF8951
Made a simple  3wdg coupling loop from input SMA to the input transformer and turned the U3S drive up to 50mW . Bingo 5W  and more
A single RD15HVF1 behind the U3S is enough.
I have a switched 12V P-ch FET added to the U3S and also switch the 5V to the BS170
power at TX only so no problem the high bias the PA stays cool at 5W RF

But why could the QRP-LABS RD15HVF1  not deliver simply 5W
What this Chinese PA can do?
 Difference is the in/out wide band transformers  the Chines PA uses 5 windings  of double wire
untwisted while the QRP lap 5W   has the output 9:1 twisted 15 turns transformer
this is good for the low bands 160m 80m etc there it will deliver 5W+

QRPLABS 5W PA detail  without the unused  CW shape power envelope modulator circuit that is not used at all in digimodes.

Q9 BS170 switches the input off in idle mode , why not simply switch off the 12V in idle?
