\"corsica\"Hack Green SDR Makes for Easy Listening<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"audio<\/a>

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

A quiet radio net on the eighty meter band from 0730 today. \u00a0All signals Readability 5 and Strength 9+ with some minor fading, when listening via the Hack Green Web Software Defined Radio (SDR).<\/p>\n

Check out the audio quality by listening to the recording. \u00a0On my own radio, traffic was\u00a0much more difficult to receive due to local noise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IT Problems Here<\/strong><\/p>\n

At\u00a0this station the shack PC\u00a0was exhibiting frequent audio drop outs via the browser which I first reported on two weeks ago. \u00a0The\u00a0SmartPhone in my pocket proved to be a useful alternative receiver and helped me to further narrow\u00a0the fault down to\u00a0a local PC issue.<\/p>\n

Activity Reports<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mainly this week,\u00a0amateur radio is taking a back seat due to the fine weather and summer activities.<\/p>\n

Jack, G3PWK worked the French island of\u00a0Corsica <\/a>during the week. \u00a0According to Gordon – G3WOV, while not too distant, Corsica is hard to work due to low levels of activity.<\/p>\n

A PRC351 at my location has been playing up on transmit and I managed to find time to “TAP Test” it. \u00a0Works OK now. \u00a0The old remedies are the best they say:)<\/p>\n

QSY at 0800…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"audio<\/a>

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

On the sixty meter band a slightly noisier frequency with some deeper fading recorded from Hack Green. \u00a0A shorter than usual net, closing at 0820, and\u00a0joined briefly by Derek, G3XWD calling in.<\/p>\n

Solar activity during the week made for reports of interesting radio conditions. \u00a0This time around\u00a0I am pleased the 200 Watt PRC320 based installation I \u00a0use\u00a0in\u00a0Gravesend is producing Five and Nine plus signals at Nantwich and sounds very well. \u00a0The station uses a low slung inverted vee dipole. \u00a0This gives the Web SDR a second purpose –\u00a0for testing HF kit.<\/p>\n

We’ve Never had it so good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mike – G4ICC mentions that without the Web SDR we would be struggling to hear each other. \u00a0This reminded me that in\u00a0previous years, trying to operate this net on these frequencies has proven quite difficult at times. \u00a0Web SDR has changed that as you can hear in the recordings above.<\/p>\n
