Thanks Ralph, Today GB3MCB seems louder than it was last night. I'll put a screen grab in the photos section. It will be called "GB3MCB 150713 0956.JPG" Dial frequency is 1296.847.81 and seems

I would like to add my thanks to Kevin and the team at Finningley. I had a great day out on Sunday, even though I'm getting to the point where a 400 mile round trip is getting to be more tiring than

Absolutely no ned to say sorry Dave. I sent u an email direct explaining why Ichipped in. It was not a citisism in any way. I am nervous about mentioning the subject here atall ;-) 73 cu in the next

Sorry Ralph, I realised later that what I was seeing/hearing wasthe lower frequency "point" and, when I tuned up a bit, I heard the mainfrequency. Both signal traces were being affected by

OK, I can see your screen shot - it was right down the bottom and off the page - doh !

HI Dave, I can't see your screen shot for some reason :-( However I aim for a 1KHz tone to within a few Hz on Spectran (audio card is calibrated), then I note the rig freq on USB and add 1KHz to

Sorry, I was hoisted by my own petard... The real signal was at 1296.847.77 What I captured was the bottom frequency trace! The space, or mark dependant on how youlook at it, was 600Hz above that

I didn't realise that the BATC event was going tobe held at Finningley this year. If that's the case, I might sign up toattend that as well. Dave (G0DJA)

Hello Dave, I use between 500-600Hz to receive CW as I find800Hz more difficult to differentiate between signal and noise/QRM/static, at thelower 5-600 it is easier to read. The frequency I gave of

I would also like to thank everyone involved with years round table! Another great year with lots of great talks as well as conversations with other attendee's now looking forward to the BATC meet

GE All First item - many thanks to all those at Finningley who organised the RT this weekend - greatly enjoyed & appreciated. Secondly, I WOULD appreciate postings here from

Interesting trace Tim, I can detect GB3MCB and, at the moment, can evenhear the CW ident. I'm also seeing doppler shifted signals from Aircraftreflections. Attached (I hope) is a screenshot taken

 I hope that I may be the first to passon thanks to the organisers, speakers, members of the Finningley ARS andpeople who provided the test equipment, antenna range and food and drink thisweekend

Next weekend is probably not going to be good forme to go out portable. I've taken two days out this weekend and it's mydaughters graduation on the Monday, so I suspect that I'll be involved

i am still waiting for my beer for that reception all those years ago Dave!

This month's QEX has a design for a transverter controller. Apart from all the switching / control functions, the author has also included a 28-30MHz SSB generator, and Tx/Rx converter for 144MHz.

I'm not really "in the loop" with the mmwavers as I've only recently got back on the band, but I plan to be QRV on 24GHz (and 10GHz) from home during the contest and co-ordinating via KST. It would

Tnx fer the info Ralph, I can't normally hear the beacons from home ( Coventry) but found them useful when in Scillies. On my way home now; stopped off in Devon to

Hi John Do you know of a location in the southwest that will beactivated during the test the 21'th - or could point me to someone whoknows? I will be on holidays in the UK at the time. On the21'st
