A quick look at Ham radio delux!

I start this series by introducing some basics about antennas, antenna tuners, antenna analyzers and noise / interference / QRM / QRN. In this video: I show the setup I’ll be using when I test the reception of the K-PO WR2100. I introduce the Tecsun (Kaito) PL-389MP Short Wave radio and use it to track down the source of my radio interference / noise / QRM. I’ll also chat about radio wave propagation in the next video. Equipment used / mentioned in this video series: * K-Po WR2100 PLL Synthesized World Band Receiver. * Yaesu FT-897 HF/VHF All Mode Transceiver * Yaesu FT-950 HF / 50MHz band All Mode Transceiver * Yaesu VX-6 Submersible Dual-Band FM Transceiver * Yaesu FT-817ND solar powered portable go-pack * Yaesu FRG-7000 Receiver * RigExpert AA-200 Antenna analyzer * Simple wire antenna * Par electronics Par End-Fedz EF-10-20-40 full length half wave dipole * Buddipole™- hf/vhf portable dipole antenna system * MFJ Deluxe Travel Antenna Tuner – MFJ-904H * Amateur Extra HAM radio license – KD8LON

Best remote and logbook software ever made for HamRadio.

An attempt at using microcontrollers for amateur radio applications. The Freetronics KitTen kit I built came from their stall at the 2012 Melbourne Mini Maker Faire. Microcontroller projects involve software, hardware and the minor miracles that must happen before computers will talk to one another. Hence they have traditionally been for advanced electronic hobbyists and professionals only, because of the many things that can go wrong. Arduino promises to make microcontrollers simple, cheap and accessible. Has it succeeded? Watch this video as I, who has a record of nothing but failure in these things, attempts to get a project going, and then design some of his own. At one point the quest almost got derailed. An account of similar symptoms and the builder giving up was read. However a solution was found and the development could continue. Radio projects featured include a beacon, an automatic CQ caller (configured as a QRPp transmitter) and a foxhunt transmitter, all with their own customised code. I recommend the kit featured ( www.freetronics.com ). It came direct from Freetronics though Jaycar also stock a good range. The January 2012 issue of Silicon Chip magazine has a good beginners’ introduction to Arduino and I suggest also getting this. NOTE: A question that those used to building from scratch will ask is whether you can buy the chip used ( Atmel ATmega328P 28 pin ) seperately, program in this unit and then insert into your own circuit board. You can, but need a

The Ham Fest was a real success for the Club. It’s a lot of work to run a Ham Fest, but Karen KI4GOT, John K4JKA, and Ron AB4A and a lot of other fine people had a hand and did a good job. We had more outside tailgaters/venders then last year and I think that we had more people to attend. We had inside venders that were regulars and also some new ones, I would like to thank them for coming. There was everything from tube boat anchors to modern surface mount radios, and also from antennas to zener diodes. People were having fun buying what they needed and what they didn’t need. I bought a new sound card interface from Tigertronics for my exploration into the digital modes on HF, and some PL-259’s, a couple of M connectors and I guess some other small stuff. Hope to see everybody there next year.

Not a “numbers station” transmission like we usually think of — it’s the first time I’ve picked it up.

Important things are happening at Wilson High School’s Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Club. We live in an earthquake zone where emergency response procedures should be practiced regularly and I am happy to report the Wilson AREC Club members have stepped up to the plate. The club meets every Wednesday from 3 pm to 4 pm in the room of their vigilant leader and mentor, Devon Day. The first ten minutes of the meeting made me realize that these young adults are learning a language that few people understand. Each week other amateur radio groups and individual ham operators listen for the sign-in of the Wilson AREC Team. We waited by the radio as the operators in Roseville, CA called for each member to identify themselves with their unique call letters. Roseville is over 400 miles to the north, above Sacramento but the connection was quite understandable. We also heard from the ham operators aboard the Queen Mary who came through extremely loud and clear. Watch the video for club member Kevin Keo’s clever explanation on the reason for the extra clarity. Brandon Silvi is the advanced engineer in the group who is in charge of teaching the other students how to solder.
