\"130615<\/a>13th June: \u00a0Radio Conditions as Predicted<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"audio<\/a>

80M Net<\/p><\/div>\n

On checking the predicted propagation using the chart provided at www.ips.gov.au <\/a>for signals under 200Km at 3.5Mhz (80M) in UK, it was interesting to note that it did not list the frequency band as being supported. \u00a0The experience today was \u00a0along those lines although from where I was listening in\u00a0Cheshire things were only slightly variable at times and I could only give good reports to everyone on net. The quality of the signals and audio received in Nantwich\u00a0are excellent as you will hear.<\/p>\n

60M<\/p><\/div>\n

Much better still. \u00a0 The conclusion I am drawing from these experiments are that your station needs to be pretty well designed and located to be immune from radio noise these days.<\/p>\n

Sound and sound card issues<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did some fault finding when I discovered the audio from the WEB SDR was interrupted for a few seconds every few minutes. \u00a0I found the Chrome Browser was the source of the issue, by using a tool provided by Windows called Resource Monitor. \u00a0In the graph below it shows my computer processor locking up and the source coming from the browser – the orange trace. \u00a0How neat is that for a fault finding tool? \u00a0Now to find out why and whether or not it is regular or intermittent. \u00a0I also have issues with windows 7 in being able to select sound outputs (Phones or Speaker). \u00a0So its not all roses. \u00a0Its a bit like HIFI I expect. \u00a0You need good kit to appreciate the quality. \u00a0I may invest in a decent soundcard and processing software as my basic equipment (Home made computer using standard parts) has several issues like I can’t record my own SDR. \u00a0Gordon, G3WOV mentions he was transmitting on a different frequency to his receiver – a problem I found – lat week as there is no tracking between the PC and the Rig (Yet). \u00a0I say yet because we are using crude equipment which is not yet fully developed. \u00a0I don’t think this problem exists in remote transceivers.<\/p>\n

On Net today, Jack G3PWK is restoring a valved B2 Spy set from WW2 and building a vertical dipole for a club member, Gordon G3WOV is out to a field day with his local club, Mike G4ICC is getting over his windows upgrade and delving into electronic log keeping and Tom G4CMG\u00a0is enjoying his new computer.<\/p>\n

Branch Matters Prevail<\/strong><\/p>\n

Short bulletin today – my main effort this weekend has been to update the regular army through the RE Command Support Branch (Many of us would know this as the\u00a0Signals Wing). \u00a0They wanted to know more about our branch and its goals. \u00a0I must say it has been a\u00a0privilege to\u00a0start some very interesting communications at a senior level about the unique nature of our branch\u00a0within the\u00a0corps\u00a0of royal engineers as\u00a0a whole and which we have now followed up. \u00a0Our update will be presented by our serving committee member, Jock McLay at their symposium this coming week and I have taken care to ask for feedback.<\/p>\n
