This is good stuff. The brain, as well as the body requires exercise and<br>
stimulation of the intellectual type. As the body turns to mush without<br>
exercise, so too does the brain. Anyway we need more technical discussions<br>
and talk of glow in the dark radios (reference to recent DX60 etc.<br>
discussions).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So when does the HF AM net start??? I don’t have an HR10, so I use either<br>
the FT950 or Icom 726 for the receive. DX60/HR10B for transmit.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am also thinking about an SDR using one of those USB dongles. Anyone else<br>
explored this to the point of a working model?<br>

Alright, Alright.....suddenly there is WAY too much technical stuff going on<br>
here for us appliance operators!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Good show, Herr Foege!<br>

<br>
Merry Holidays to all....guess we won’t be getting together before Xmas, but<br>
maybe before the New Year?<br>

Peace and Love to all......and Woody, are you still alive?!<br>

Ok. I did actually manage to figure out a way to get one of those software<br>
decoders to decode a WAV file. I guess I just didn't look hard enough<br>
before.<br>
<br>
The text follows:<br>
<br>
k1iig/b fn31ln<br>
<br>
It's loud as hell on 432.200 MHz and only on a teeny tiny little whip going<br>
into my SDR.<br>
<br>
Apparently the guy has got it going into a wheel (?) antenna up @ 450 ft.<br>
Now I'm not sure if this is AGL or above sea level...<br>
<br>
He has got the oscillator for the CW beacon phase locked to some kind of<br>
standard. And what's really funny is, I can hear the same beacon on 61 Mhz<br>
or so at much reduced SNR. Now, I wonder if this is just some kind of mixing<br>
artifact from the SDR or I'm actually hearing his reference signal that he<br>
might be transverting to different frequencies. He did say he wants to get<br>
up a Ghz beacon soon.<br>
<br>
Now I'm interested...doing a little radio detective work so to say. I'm sure<br>
you all hear him loud and clear on 432.200 Mhz, but is anyone hearing<br>
anything around 60-62 Mhz that is the exact same beacon CW string??<br>
<br>
I'm going to contact him and ask him for some details of his beacon setup.<br>
If it turns out he has a 60 Mhz phase locked signal somewhere that he is<br>
converting up or down to do his beacon...then I'm going to be laughing my<br>
ass off that I can hear it so far away, and I think he'd have to know about<br>
it.<br>
<br>
Anyway...thought I'd ask for some help from the crew in determining what's<br>
going on there...<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
John<br>

I don't know. I'm working on learning CW though...and I can't find a decent<br>
decoder that decodes WAV files...it's all live decoding software...bummer<br>

There is a very, very, very strong signal on 70cm @ 432.20 CW<br>

Sounds like a beacon...anyone know anything about it?<br>
