GB3CCX is back to full strength here now the temperature is lower. Graham G3VKV

Hi Group I keep looking at the RF bade unit at http://www.nuand.com/blog/shop/ Out of the box the bladeRF can tune from 300MHz to 3.8GHz without the need for extra boards and has current open

I took a listen yesterday when it was reported that GB100RSGB was on 1296.210MHz, but didn't hear anything. 10GHz is not operational here at the moment but I might rig up a receive system for a cross

Hi All Again, In the excitement and given the time the e-mail was written, mistakenly I wrote johnny's call sign as IT9ARO which should have been IW9ARO. Sorry for the mistake. The mistake has been

Good points made by all and to mitigate against it I have used narrower bandwidths. I makes very little difference but it is still worth noting so thankyou for that. Basically the

Hi All, Please to inform your that today July 19th 2013 the first ever QSO ON 24Ghz was made between 9H and IT9 At 17:21 GMT IT9ARO (Johnny) heard my (9H1GB) signal on 24.048200GHz+/- Immediately I

Glad you found it Conrad. if its an ATF then it'll most likely be in the 5 to 6 GHz region. (the narrow filter will not be helping it because the out of band matchwill be appalling from everywhere to

Ooops should have gone to Graham sorry. __________________________________________________ 73 Conrad G0RUZ IO93FR North Wakefield Radio Club __________________________________________________

Its hooting you were right. I removed the noise head and put a load on it and I can see a descrete frequency that has an 8dB noise figure. This will be the frequency at which it's oscillating. Do you

Thanks for all inputs so far THE RSGB DRAFT REPOSNSE IS NOW ONLINE Web page: http://rsgb.org/main/operating/band-plans/microwaves/spectrum-release/ Short

Sorry John taken the transverter and antenna off the mast so I could paint my shack whilst the weather was good. 73 Bob G8DTF

Hello John, I have had virtually no conditions on any band 2mand up for past two days. If your on after 7 or 8 in the evening I willgladly try but the bands are as flat as a pancake here during

Hi Murray and others. Folowing the useful discussion session atFinningley, I have just submitted my response online. 73, Mike, G3LYP

I also have not seen CCX for several weeks , but it needs some rain along the path to pop up above noise and its been 30C a lot and very dry for July so far .Prepare for flooding ......... 73 John

Hi John, that one has been fixed some time ago, the GB3UK repeater antenna has been moved to another corner of the mast, will see if I can find out more info - perhaps it doesn't like the heat, CCX is

Come on UKmicrowavers! G100RSGB has been ready with 23 and 3cms gear and so far, above 1GHz we have had two 3cms and 6 23cms QSOs. Almost no UK 3cms stations logged in to KST yesterday, compared to

John Makes a good point - NF meters can typically measure in bandwidths of several MHz and are assuming the noise figure, gain and match is constant across this bandwidth. When you design a preamp

Hi Conrad I have also seen abnormally high NF readings on an example of the HA8ET preamp. This preamp includes narrow band filtering, and it could be that the noise bandwidth of the preamp is

CCX 3cms had a fault some time back where it would go off if the 70cm repeater was on. Easy to check if the 70cms is on and the beacon is off thats it. Or fire up the repeater and see if CCX goes

And not nearly as good as true Araldite which can still be bought on eBay! C
