New record in distance: 18660 km!! 599

10 July, 2010

New record in the EA8TL stats on 20 meters. This time with Len VK2CBL at Sidney at 18660 km from his QTH. 599 in both sides. 

 S/N: -3 dB . It means 23 dB of Fade Marge with ROS8. VK2CBL could have reduced 40 times his power to achieve the same result: 100% error free.

Congratulations to Len and Jorge for this Great QSO, but try decrease the power when you use ROS. This is not PSK31.

Balun using Transmission Lines

9 July, 2010

This is a balun 1:1 using exclusively transmission lines (in this case Coaxial Cable).

It uses a labmda/2 line lenght to create a different of phase of 180º that compensates the 180º of the dipole and we get a relationship of 4:1.

Two sections of lambda/4 are been added to get a final relationship of 1:1. 

This balun only is valid for monoband antennas (or multibands with a multiple of 3 lambdas). And BW of adaptation (dipole+balun) is aprox. 5%.

I like this balun because you can design it with a good accurate.

Remember that:   lambda_cable  =  lambda_air x Speed Factor

Usually, Speed Factor is 0.67 for Rg-58 CU or RG-213. This parameter appears in the cable specifications.

2 July, 2010

Great QSO reported by Dave G3ZXX with Oleg UT5UBB with only 2.5 watts on 10144

Hi All,

Just thought that it might be NEWS worthy, but I’ve just had a QSO with Oleg UT5UBB, on 10144 Mhz.

Contact was established using 4/500.

Oleg was using 2.5 watts from an FT817 to an inverted V.

2290km with Oleg between -19 and -21dB

Cheers & 73
Dave, G3ZXX

>> RX1: 19:33 @ 5.4 Hz: G4WGT <STOP> -31 dB

This problem will be fixed from July 3 at 00:00:01 UTC with some changes in the ROS protocol. You only have to renove your old ROS version.
