I know they at one time had access to a kw amplifier on 6m, but don't know where that came from.  I recall hearing that they had a lot of city noise at that QTH on 6m, so they would probably do better if they had a high gain yagi (or two) and elevated them up about 15 degrees to decrease the city noise.   It sure would be a great accomplishment to catch them on 6m EME near their moonset!

When I went back into the shack there was an enormous noise burst on the P3 display.‘Funny’!Went back out and repeated it and, again, a big noise burst.Then the penny dropped.I occasionally wear a pair of Widex hearing aids. The sort that talk to each other via short range radio.These obviously produce a lot of noise in the 23cm band, that is only obvious when close to the dish. That’s a new interference source on me! I will be at Friedrichshafen Ham Radio and plan to be at the QSL wall at 13:00 on Friday. I hope to see some of you there.

But luckily we still have higher bands with dominat role of SSB/CW traffic. I'm just afraid that such a digital TR rtty modes like FT8 will be more common as the ham community is getting older so lot of guys have problem with hearing and sending code by voice or key and lot of young newcomers want to do QSOs now without learning anything which could take more time than 1min.. Another reason is increasing city noise / interference.. On the other hand I must say that I had some chats with Joe and he assured me that he and his wsjt group will not release WSJT with fully automatic mode. Joe is still against the fully automatic digital QSO machine however there are some other SW authors who do it and we can't do anything about it ... > http://sv5dkl.blogspot.com/2017/12/sv5dkl-ft8-robot-fully-automatic.html Life is too short for hate and negative thinking, all what we can do is keeping the CW traffic alive as much as possible and promote this lovely mode to newcomers in positive way. 73 & hope to work you in CW on higher bands again via EME or other propagation Matej, OK1TEH ---------- Původní e-mail ---------- Od: Lars Pettersson via Moon Komu: moon at moonbounce.info Datum: 29. 5. 2018 6:58:17 Předmět: [Moon] Digital and QSos "Once upon a time there was a man whom got the Nobel Price.

That’s still possible until the end of June. On the website (www.eme2018.nl) it’s only possible to make reservations for some standard arrangements. That was done to make it easy on the most of you and to avoid a lot of choices. Booking on the website is a two step process: 1. Hotel room and basic entrance fee 2. Meetings and excursions If you want to book something not standard it’s very well possible! You yan come earlier, you can stay longer, it’s all possible whatever you like. To arrange that you need to contact the hotel: t.schripsema at zuiderduin.nl Simply send them an e-mail and tell them what you would like and it can all be arranged. Looking forward welcoming many of you in August in Egmond aan Zee and of course in Dwingeloo at PI9CAM ! 73!

I am told that it is 9V for the Ud and -5V bias and that it is very important to ensurethat the -5V bias is always present before the 9V supply is applied. Did anyone ever make a PCB for this application? I know that there were a few of these amplifiers around in the past. Any info or advice? Regards Conrad PA5Y
