EA1CS: VU4KV está en marcha, configuración

17 noviembre 2014

VU4KV ahora está en el aire desde ayer. La mayor parte del equipo ha estado QRV con antenas SVDA de 20 a 10 metros con la siguiente configuración:

  • K3 con KPA-500 en todos los modos
  • TS-590 con PK-500 en todos los modos

Hoy se configurarán las bandas bajas gradualmente con antenas VDA para el 80, 40 y 30 metros, estableciéndose tres estaciones más para las bandas bajas que serían:

  • TS-480 con KPA-500
  • TS-590 con AL-80B
  • K3 con Acom 1000

Por último se espera que la vertical array para 160m, así como la spider beam, la beam para 6mts en un mástil de buena altura se puedan sabir mañana.

Tenemos problemas de Internet en la ubicación que están siendo resueltos para garantizar la actualización periódica para los logs online.

El objetivo será dar la mayor cobertura posible en 12 y 10m y también a las bandas bajas de 160-30m y proporcionar al menos un QSO a tantas personas como sea posible.

73 nos vemos en los pile up!

G3XBM (Roger): Sunspots today - Nov 17th 2014

November 17, 2014, 8:18 am

Sunspot number has fallen to 91 yet 10m daytime propagation is supposed to be "good".  Although 10m has yet again opened to the USA (weeks and weeks this has happened now) I would not describe conditions on 10m as particularly "good".  I am still waiting for my first Australian report when using the little beacon for example.  When the band is really "good" VK reports with the 500mW WSPR beacon should be no problem.

G3XBM (Roger): Dual band WSPRing

November 17, 2014, 11:51 am

Since mid-afternoon I've been WSPRing on 2 bands at the same time. My little WSPR-AXE beacon (from W5OLF) puts out 27dBm on 10m and I used my FT817 to put out 30dBm ERP from my V2000 on 6m. Although 10m is resulting in plenty of reports, 6m is, yet again, DEAD with no stations received and no reports received. I'll leave both 6m and 10m WSPR running until after dark. Tomorrow I may try my earth-electrode antenna on MF (472kHz WSPR) at the same as 10m. As I use the Par antenna on 10m, I shall have to use the earth-electrode antenna on 472kHz.

UPDATE 1624z:   6m WSPR is still utterly DEAD. I keep plugging away on 6m to no avail. Not sure why I even bother!  10m, with half the power is far more productive: every day I get DX reports with the little WSPR-AXE 10m WSPR beacon at 500mW.
 
UPDATE 1925z:   6m WSPR again proved to be totally useless with not a single station copied here or copying me. Having tried so hard out of the Es season, I am now giving up on 6m until spring 2015.

UPDATE 1945z:    Just gone QRT on 6m, but left the 10m WSPR-AXE 500mW beacon still running.

UPDATE 1950z:   The last USA station appears to have been KB9AMG (6300km) at 1844z.

W2LJ (Larry): Skeeter Hunt Certificates

The first 3/4ths of the 2014 Skeeter Hunt certificates went out in the mail last night.  I ran out of 9X12 envelopes and will get more. The remaining ten or so will go out Thursday night, as our Tech License exam session is tonight and our monthly South Plainfield Amateur Radio Club meeting is tomorrow night.

If you earned a certificate, it has been noted on the Scoreboard spreadsheet, in the "Notes" column:

 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1odmnlTAnQST7FgsEnsItHaT_ZO0e8yZpzLqxcsyGRkY/edit#gid=1768430587

Thanks for your patience, and I apologize profusely for the delay - but hey, like John Lennon said, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." 

Look for the Skeeter Hunt to be making an appearance on Facebook in the near future! Oh ..... and there will be at least one change in the rules for next year. Look for that announcement in the Spring of 2015. (Hey, I gotta give you something to look forward to!)

BTW, I want to take an opportunity to mention something about the "QRP - When you care to send the very least!" and the "Skeeter Hunt" items that I offer through Cafe Press.  There's no big markup there - each item is offered at $1 above Cafe Press cost. The proceeds (which ain't much - believe me!) go towards the purchase of ink, paper, envelopes and postage for the Skeeter Hunt certificates. Next year, I am hoping to offer plaques to the top three finishers.

Sunspot number today is 95 and 10m propagation is expected to be "good". Although my little WSPR-AXE beacon is being copied widely, nothing out of the ordinary so far.

G3XBM (Roger): Unique 10m WSPR spots to 1450z today

The little 500mW beacon has been on since last evening. LZ1OI (2153km) and 4X1RF (3519km) were  both spotting me very early and there have been plenty of stations spotting me already. This is the list of unique stations spotting me so far:
Unique station 10m WSPR reports today to 1450z.
In many cases, stations have copied me many times and this is not shown. 500mW seems quite enough to "blast a hole".   More power might help at times, but if the path is open 500mW is very often plenty with WSPR.

W2LJ (Larry): Cold!

As with much of the rest of the US, New Jersey has been immersed in the deep freeze.  It was only 22F (-5C) when I woke up and left for work this morning. And during lunchtime, it only got up to about 30F (-1C). And the wind is howling at times, making it feel much, much colder. Since we're only about 15 miles or so (as the crow flies) from the relatively warm Atlantic Ocean, it doesn't get as cold here as it does in The Heartland. But for us, these are cold temperatures, indeed - especially for November!

So I headed out to the Jeep at lunchtime to see what the bands were like. I have heard so many reports of them "hopping" lately, that I wanted to see for myself.  My little Li-Ion battery packs seems to dislike the cold as much as I do.  So much for leaving them in the car all morning. When I fired up the KX3, I was getting a reading of only 11V from each pack, about 1.3V less that I would expect. Even batteries don't like to play in the cold!

But with the KX3 only putting out 3 Watts as a result, I still managed to snare a few QSOs on the higher bands:

ZD8O - Ascension Island - 10 Meters
G4MLW - Ian in York, England on 17 Meters
PJ2/K8ND - Curacao on 15 Meters

Not bad - considering. Even though I sat INSIDE the car (engine off) for my session today, I still maintain that it was good practice for the "Freeze Your Butt Off" sprint in February!

G3XBM (Roger): WSPRing MF and 10m simultaneously

November 18, 2014, 9:18 am

Late this afternoon, I decided to try 472kHz WSPR (using the FT817, transverter and earth-electrode antenna (5mW ERP) and 28MHz WSPR (using the 500mW WSPR-AXE 500mW TX beacon) . All seems to be working with USA reports on 10m still, as well as G0LRD spotting me on LF and I am spotting G,PA and DL on 472kHz WSPR. Certainly MF is a great deal more productive than 6m was over 6 days of trying.

UPDATE 1710z:   a 472kHz report of -12dB S/N from G3XDV (61km) suggests he might just copy me on the same (short) earth-electrode antenna on 136kHz especially if I used QRSS30. I really must try a longer baseline earth-electrode antenna. The earth-electrode antenna definitely has directionality like a loop.

WG2Z (5600km) was spotting me at 1736z.   I am wondering if this will be the last 10m North American spot, or if the band will remain open longer.

When I go QRT on 10m later this evening I shall leave MF still running.

UPDATE 1935z:   Well WG2Z was the last spot but at 1840z, almost an hour after the above spot.

This is my best WSPR 10m 'DX' so far with my Ultimate3 configured for 50mW at the antenna feed-point. My WSPR station status can be checked here.
