My First Feld Hell Contact

This is a digital mode in Amateur radio. It’s different in that it print right on the screen (it used to be paper) like a facsimile machine.

More info at www.feldhellclub.org
Video Rating: 5 / 5

PSK31 is another digital mode that converts typed on computer keyboard letters to specific sounds and send them by the radiostation. PSK31 is very popular modulation because it needs a narrow band so in small segment of the band can work many stations.

QRP Contact Using Yaesu 817ND

I am still fascinated whenever using low radio wattage to make contacts. This video shows a radio contact between Alabama and Virginia using 5 watts from a Yaesu 817ND from Ditto Landing in Huntsville, AL on September 10, 2009. Antenna used was a Comet RS 730 on the side-door of my 2001 Sonoma pickup.

Complete psk31 contact with Ukraine, no edits.

Showing FLDIGI in Linux, using Yaesu ft-847, Donner Interface cable, 20 meter psk31 short qso contact from California to Ukraine almost 6200 miles away from me. Using a 40m Horizontal delta loop, about 10 feet high. (131 feet long). Using a homebrew aircore Balun which is about 2.5 to 1. and about 70 watts of power. Thanks to the great videos by K7AGE on how to get started with PSK31.. I loved the simple microphone receive only video that he did…Nice!! Easily understood, easily duplicated and certainly made me want to work this mode and transmit too! I have had many contacts on 5 watts, normally I start low and work up..but in this case, to get a video in 1 shot, I cranked up to about 70 watts, however, it most likely wasn’t necessary to be that high…just an fyi I have been ‘cross the ocean on 10 watts many times when the bands are open. Yes, you can hear my cat in the background…I guess he thinks I am talking to him..LOL 73 from AG6IF

PSK31 contact using my “Handmic taped to speaker” interface.

I just got PSK31 working with my radio, and made a very inexpensive “interface” if you can even call it that. I worked a couple stations tonight, and this is a video of the one I managed to get recorded on air. Made contact with VE6VIS. Disclaimer, this is probably one of the more boring, and long videos I’ve made.

Youth@HamRadio.Fun: The First Contact — Explaining the Excitement of Your First QSO

By Sterling Coffey, N0SSC
ARRL Youth Editor

Experienced hams knew it all too well. Volunteer Examiners expect it. And for some reason, newly licensed hams fear it. What could it be? As the title suggests, completing your first contact is a daunting — yet exciting — event for many. Why is that? What can we do to get over that lump-in-the-throat feeling known as “mic fright?”
