I use Eagle with a cloud subscription which gets me a free copy of Fusion360. Paying for decent software is sometimes less painful than trying to force my brain to use stuff designed by coders. Or

Hi David Location location

I use Kicad. Quite a steep learning curve but worth it. I always use a schematic, it transfers to the pcb layout program and ensures that everything that should be connected is and that there are no

Ok thanks it's cooling down now so I'll keep listening. With such a strong stable signal it was a nice backdrop to my display. Just wish I could hear it at home in IO71XW : ) Sent from Android

Clive Yes GB3SEE still has a heat problem when the temp on site gets to 20 degrees it goes low power It may well come back on this afternoon as it has become cloudy this afternoon Best 73 Denis G0OLX

I use EasyPC from Number One systems. But only because I have a copy. I think the favourites amongst amateurs are Kicad or Eagle - although I haven't heard much about the latter

I am at a military vehicle show in IO91UD & for thast 2 days have been monitoring GB3SEE which has been very strong. At about 1615 it went off air, I can hear no other beacons in this rather screened

Eagle. I tried KiCad, but I found it a very similar experience to putting your fingers in a desk drawer and slamming it repeatedly. Things that took a mouse click in Eagle involved various drop down

Hello Michel, Although it is impossible, your best chance is when there is some tropo is indicated using F5LEN and the Hepburn charts. Best time is usually 0600 - 0730 GMT (Z). 73 Dave G4GLT.

Thank you for your answers, i will be sure to let you know when i go to the north coast of Brittany. I still have to select the sites, for the moment those i have identified are at sea level. 73,

I bought one of these boards and based on the supplied description fed a suitable voltage the the LDO reg. Yes, it gets warm with too much overhead, but easily solved with a 2A 7805. And it works

Ok All, tnx I've placed a test order with JLC PCB as they seem to be the one most mentioned here. I didn't compare any of the others - that may come later with another test. The price really was
