ES 30 June

Exciting spots 50MHz    W7 's worked in DL  
nothing here..
JW7QIA  was only579   , more south everything was stronger JW7QIA was reported in ON  9+++   nothing new all seen before.
JW7QIA  had huge pile working split
worked before. Would been a new one on 70MHz ... but then only 599+ in ON and S-PA i am afraid 

I heard 70.063 LA2VHF  559 JP53
then heard LB3AG would be a new call  cq 56 70.200  
but he replied to an other PA3  much stronger of course and faded

did QTF 0 CQ'n for some time in the hope something might possible over the North pole
still we are close to the longest day solstitium zonnewende  always the most interesting time for 50/70 MHz propagation . however last weeks we rarely had sun the longest day was overcast and rain.
6M was wide open OH SM2 ES LA JW7QIA 
strong DL's backscatter working / reporting the rare W7 K7 west-coast square CN !!
but i was in the middle  in the death zone as used before
went QRT  too early?
later PE5T reported KL7PY !! 50106 10 seconds woow  only the 2nd time in PA that KL7 was reported /worked  it will be a dream dx for ever here i never hear anything worth to mention since 20 years
Kees is real top DX-er on any band  160 -4m   respect.



no N-America  and S-A yet at 6m
missed the huge 13-6 opening 
1 x JA 1x FR  this year at 6m   
entering July  the best ES part is over

delete a could be 4m QSO


DELFSAIL  July 1 2016   
very nice event  despite rainshower -summer  good live music 
like 4horsemen  Kensington  etc



Dar Młodzieży  was open for everyone 





First time DELFSAIL was 1986   by coincidence like 2016 during EU football
in 1986 Dutch football was still on high level
A lot has changed since then ..
6m  is death  and the dutch football millionaires are to busy with other things no time to play soccer.

Zelfde ervaring hier op 6m. Nog een tijdje naar JW geroepen. Geen response alleen stations uit zuidelijker gelegen gebieden. Wel QSO nog met EI op JT65. Voor ons is JT65 zo ie zo de beste mode op 6 en misschien ook wel voor 4. 73, Bas

2011-01-22 DIAMOND 2m 70cm 1m30 Colinear inside

Having relative poor signals on the local 70cm / 2m channels using this X50 Diamond collinear 70/2  1m antenna at a height of 25m. I needed to investigate what could be wrong. Measuring the cable only 3W is left for the antenna of the 10W 435MHz output from a IC451E The cable is 30m type H100 Z50 10mm outside diameter it is semi air-spaced but has an impossible 4mm² solid CU inner conductor not much air left. I preferred the H43 Z75 cable having lower loss and mechanical better ratio in conductor size. My antenna uses SO239 connector UHF type semi air spaced isolator.  3W should be enough for a comfortable noise free FM signal. But only 27km away at PA0A the signal is weak too weak something must be wrong? I made a simple reference dipole of 2x17cm CU wire. With this dipole the signals where totally worse. So the Diamond does work? I got curious to look inside. Maybe moisture penetration degraded the antenna. This  antenna is rainwater close in its normal vertical mounting posit

SPF5189z Low noise preamp 23cm

 14-4-2018 updated Above the low noise  preamp 50 - 4GHz    ebay  6€ Tested  2 small porto antennas 1 Baofeng UV antenna left   2nd best signal on PI2NOS 2 eBay DIAMONDSRH805S  wide band 144/432/1200  it works for its size as expected 3 piece of wire :   best signal in the setup... Unit under test at workbench. It was stable  50mA  at 5V   few days,  but sudden the current went up to 100mA And i could  no longer adjust it with the negative bias Voltage. The - Voltage went to zero and the SPF input port became low Z. This SPF5189z was broken  no oscillations, no input overload just it broke while i was receiving the PI2NOS 430.125 using a small antenna at the workbench. The specs of  SPF5189z  say it has an internal circuit  regulating the bias current. Replaced . again   with an other of the 5 spare SPF i have. The new one again could be adjusted at 50mA  5V  The current raises to 150mA  when removing the  negative gate voltage. Where is that internal bias cir

BIJZEN mast en ontwerp fouten.

In 2013 heb ik een Bijzen aluminium mast 3 x7m  opgehaald  bij iemand die hem niet mocht plaatsen Gemeente Oss  dat zegt misschien al genoeg.. Pas in 2018 heb ik hem geplaatst had ik veel eerder moeten doen. Mooie mast, mijn xyl vond hem zelfs mooi. Hij is licht, de 3 delen wegen  235kg  het vaste deel 102kg dus het te lieren gedeelte weegt   slechts 133kg + ca 50kg rotor + antennes etc.  De elektrische lier is wel erg zwaar 30kg misschien wel maar die zit onder    Antenne  3ele Steppir  19kG  +  G2500DXC rotor: 3.6kg  + rotorbuis 12 kg  +  kabels 10kg  + 5/7 ele 6m beam. ongeveer 50kg Je moet niet te dichtbij  kijken, dan valt op dat het Aluminium lastwerk heel slordig is gedaan, scherpe bramen aan de lassen waar kabels door kunnen worden beschadigd of haken Er is zeer ! weinig ruimte voor de rotor een YAESU G2500DX past net maar dan ook net  met beetje buigen van  kruisverband. Het Rotor platform kan wel een meter hoger dat geeft meer  buislengte boven het zit nu op 3.5 meter van het
