Daniel Thanks, and thanks for the QSO on Sunday. Looking forward to trying 13 and 9cms with you too ! Regards John G4ZTR

Barry You said < If you want to experiment, why not try a new feed with just the highest band loop by itself? > Good idea – and one that I have already tried. The first three band loops I built were c

'Morning all I have a question, and a proposal, about multiband loop dish feeds: I'm using a home-made dish feed for 23/13/9cms, which is similar to the RF HamDesign series, with a full wave circular

'Morning all The UK Microwave Group has the first "Low Band" contest tomorrow; Sunday 7 March from 10:00 to 16:00. The Low Bands are 23, 13 and 9cms. The first 4 hours coincide with an IARU event. I'm

Thanks Adrian Copied here within a couple of minutes of listening. No decodes yet because most planes only provide 5 to 10 seconds of signal ! John G4ZTR JO01KW

Brian Thanks, I believe you are correct. Trouble was that without your pointer I didn't find the file, despite looking in the usual places. Now working nicely ......... until it doesn't ! John G4ZTR

Anyone else having trouble with wtKST tonight? It no longer connects me. I've changed nothing so I'm lost ! John G4ZTR -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

All Many thanks for the helpful and constructive comments. I think it’s quite likely I’ll make a permanent version of this trial single arm – seems there are more pros than cons. To put some meat on t

Morning all Supporting a dish feed - one arm, three or four ?? I've recently completed a new prime focus mesh dish. I made up the usual four arms to make a quadruped to support the feed from the rim.

John, Neil I can confirm that ‘PKT is good-n-loud here on 10GHz. No doubt lousy conditions as usual. Never heard ‘OSW here either, and likewise I took advantage of likely tropo and rain to take a good

'Morning all Just a very brief commercial interlude, to let you know that I now have in stock dish feeds for 10 and 24GHz. Please browse Microwave Dish Feeds at www.aerial-parts.co.uk. Regards John G4

Dave 1. Have you selected at least one plane feed in Options / Planes ? 2. Have you input a DX station call and locator and pressed Play (bottom right button) ? 3. Do you have a message at the bottom

For the past week or so, Airscout has not been working well, and I see error messages like "the remote server returned an error; (500) internal server error". I've disabled the Planefinder.net feed, w

Hello all After due consideration, and an exchange of emails with I0JXX, I'm proposing to import a few of his feeds for resale in the UK. The purpose of this mail is to establish the likely interest.

Neil Only two minds ........ ? Anyway, just thinking out loud, if you install a system for terrestrial at home you will have a chance to iron out any bugs. Bugs which might be much more awkward to sor

Denis I’m using a ‘JXX feed for my PF dish on 3cms, and it works fine, better than the RF HamDesign loop. I think the ‘JXX 10 and 24GHz parts are sub-contracted. If you need anything else, I regularly

Yes, that’s what my handbook says, John G4ZTR

Seems to me it’s a pity we have to go to sources in the US, Germany or China for these relatively simple building blocks. I’m sure that if Dave G4HUP was still with us it’s the sort of project he woul

Nigel Good to work you yesterday and nice to get a new one in the 9cms log. Be reassured – conditions last night were pretty poor ! John G4ZTR

I’m expecting to be QRV on 13, 9 and 3cms. My planned improvements to the dish for 9cms haven’t happened yet because I’m a wimp ! Weather forecast round here for Tuesday evening looks like quite windy
