Just out of curiosity, could you just use standard coaxial cable for a tv and throw on pl-259 adapters at either end to use it as a UHF coaxial cable? I apologize if that's a silly question, but I'm new to this, so please humor me....

The center top long element is for 6 meters but will need adjustment probably In you video you did not show the SWR for all the other bands that its designed for 25 mhz to 1300 could you reply to my comment I am setting up a recieve system for any signal any band all rf digital or analog. You will get better transmit signal with colinear antenna but this saves you money. I'm a disabled USMC vet that can't work but tinkers all day with my radios 73 AA4CP Fort Pierce FL on the beach

Question. If I already have omnirig, HDSDR and Log4OM loaded, then it appears that wsjt-x can no run concurrently because uses Hamlib. When I test the rig control it yields a Hamlib error. Further, if I start by running swjt-x, unload it and then try to run the usual omnirig stuff, the ports don't work unless I reboot. Hmmmm.

In this video you are running what I assume is omnirig v1.x with HDSDR. Sadly omnirig v1.x support was removed with HDSDR v2.8 - a real pain... I am not sure how stable the current HDSDR beta, which once again allows omnirig v.1x, is at this point. This is significant since you can not run LOG4OM with omnirig 2. Oh the joys of battling developers...

Could you do another video about the "bonded test"? The "common bonding adapter"? Anytime I ask in the stores about grounding they said it wasn't necessary at all so I would love to have more information for someone who actually knows about this. Can you not only discuss the testing but the adapter itself and how to use it? Thank you so much for this video It really was exceptionally helpful for me. 🙌

Hi Julia, Admittedly, the use of the System Rescue CD can be a bit of a steep learning curb. That said, it offers a full solution to many issues that real world windows techs run into everyday. There may be solutions that might give you a nice point and click interface, but I've never seen one that is free... The System Rescue CD is free, and following the instructions step by step will lead you to a successful result a high majority of the time. Most end users will never run into this in a lifetime, and many service professionals may only see it once in a decade. A free solution seems the best fit. At least that's my opinion, Stu AG6AG

Hi Stu Love the video, GReat information. The question I have is not about VARA, but about your video production.

@AG6AG Ай бұрын
Hi Chris, I use OBS studio for the majority of the uncut production recording. Many times I am also capturing a full screen of a VM running on HyperV. If I need to actually access ports and other things to illustrate identifying and configuring devices and I don't want to mess with settings that work on my main system, I spin up a old laptop with NDI pumping the video out to OBS. And then I do all final editing in Open Shot. And yes, it's all free software (other then the Window Pro licenses). Hope that helps! Stu AG6AG

Hi, Every antenna you have is "sized" for the frequency of interest you are working with. If the antenna isn't setup correctly for the frequency you are trying to use, your transmitting signal and reception will be sub standard. We are actually only dealing with a receiver when using the SDR, but properly matching the antenna to a 50 ohm impedance at the frequency of interest vastly improves our reception. If you are really interested in the science, try this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5_Qk6Cuma5msNEsi=lcSzS2N5jRYm82sE Stu AG6AG

TOTALLY frustrated with Log4OM. Not a single video or ANY Documentation on how to set Log4OM for "ARRL Field DAY". Perhaps it can't. I see no facility for entering "Class or Section". Amazing, for an otherwise good Logger. You'd think there would be at least a way to build your own template. Too bad.
@AG6AG Ай бұрын
Hi Wirewizard, Yeah, Log4OM is a great daily logger with amazing auto import and export capabilities... It kicks butt on getting all the info you could ever want for a QSO. That said, it falls short with contest logging. My use N1MM+ for all the contests I participate in and have great results. I strongly recommend it for Field Day. I have a few videos on it at well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGa8q6ppfph_kMU kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHjMc6KpZ75ra9E kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZTaZol3ftt7ldk There are a few more but this should get you going for field day.

Hello Siddharth, Aliases are like tactical calls. They can be programmed into settings and allow you to use them as a from address as well as receive email sent to them. An example of how we use them for our RACES/ARES group is to identify the Emergency Operation Station (EOC) as an account to send messages to, rather then addressing the message to the callsign that is assigned to the client. This allows us to use a club call for the Winlink account for these stations. The thing you have to remember is that to connect to a individual station you need to tell the P2P comm screen that you want to connect to the actual callsign. Hope that clears it up a bit more...

There is really nothing "automatic" about manually uploading to LOTW from the QSO manager. I shouldn't have to go there and sort through what QSOs need to be uploaded.

Stu, thank you once again for this informative video. This was the only video I can find on KZbin about the color codes in WSJTX for FT8. I think I already know the answer but in order for this to work I need to always let the log continue to build and never delete it or rename it such that it starts with a new log? I saw advice from another KZbin ham about renaming the log file after each setting so you have a separate ADIF file I think that would defeat the color coding though. I think his rationale was for the purpose of parks on the air. Do you have any suggestions on how to parcel out the log to reflect a single activation?
@AG6AG 4 ай бұрын
If you move the log and start a new one, the colors go away... There really isn't an easy way to strip out just an individual group of QSOs. You could move the log files out of the way, do the contest or activation and then put your daily log back, but those new contacts will not be in the log for color assignment. Stu AG6AG

The Portable Version does work as promised. You can use it off a USB thumb drive and move it with you on whatever device you are using... I tend to do it a bit differently when I operate in the field. I have a separate Log4OM-2 install on my laptop and when I'm done in the field, I just export the QSOs that I made to an ADIF file (with extended fields) and then import it into my shack computer. Remember, keep these logs backed up! Stu AG6AG
