Thx for posting

Thankyou very much for this excellent video! just passed foundation .. loving it so far

There's more need for RAYNET than ever.

Excellent presentation and Talk and I agree with most of the suggestions except a single test, due to the levels allow progression through the various levels of difficulty. I did my morse, but for some getting the B licence was enough and many didn't go for the morse due to finding it difficult yet it did not stop them from using radio, though they were limited to 6, 2 and 70. One test could produce a lot of failures and disappoint many people who want to get on the ladder. But I must agree, change or more options should be offered, including Morse as a bridge to Full Licence including others. Different pathways would be better for all, differentiation is the key here I think. People's learning styles are varied, and we should enable them to take a route preferable. Tommy M0BOC

Thank you for a brilliant talk Ian. My good friend John, G8IKP, has demonstrated Air Scout to me and it is very impressive. I have just had a chat with Prof. Hugh Griffiths (another old friend) about how the Germans were exploiting our Chain Home radars and the scattering from our aircraft during WWII. Hugh has been studying this for a number of years. I am typing this from a holiday cottage in Devon which is about 1.5 miles from where 2E0VCC works. I work him from Weymouth during various VHF and UHF contests. Hoping to meet him in person during our stay! Now you are going to have to forgive my poor humour….. AS may not be a mirror like reflection but it is definitely a ‘plane wave’! 😂 Gary G0VLJ.

Great talk and opening from Rafal Lukaweicki !!!

Can this be used for contests other than rsgb contests or indeed just for normal operation?

I started as a teenager. One of my best memories was an amateur from East Germany coming to visit me before German reunification! I love the technical learning too. I still get a thrill when someone hears my signal. 73, GM4SVM

Thanks Ian. Very interesting. Having worked you on 10W 2m SSB, I look forward to trying you on AS when I get my head around it. Noel, GI7CMC. PS. Just waiting for the clickable links from 1: 02: 20 to appear in the dialogue above.

Cute - now what do you think the chances of trying the same with the legion of Starlink statelittes ? Seems to be a fun project in waiting.

Great video demonstration of activating a summit. Also excellent referencing of the equipment you are using.

Your one sided support is disgraceful and disgusting

Please do not call out other countries by not working with them

By being one sided you going against USSR Hams that's not 🚫 wot ham radio is about

Too other countries that need same help in WAR

Have some humanity

Don't be one sided

Ukraine get everything from UK and USA so help support other's as well!

So please be fare Palestine and Lebanon need help not just that country you keep promoting

And yes I'm a member of rsgb

I think your estimates for 10GHz are considerably conservative. 300km is fairly routine on 10GHz with a 60cm dish and 3W. I can work 650km almost every contest, but not just any time I try. Sometimes I have to try every hour for a few hours but I almost always make it eventually. The enormous 10GHz antenna gain and quiet band makes up for the lower power.

Excellent presentation. I had never heard of the software. You did not demonstrate how to show the KST Client on the screen, so I will try to do that now.

Would bonding as described be relevant for pme systems

Following - too much info for me to take in so I will exactly a few times

Thank you for inviting Hans onto the channel. I have built a few of his transciever kits. I believe that they offer amazing features and performance for the cost. Brilliant design and top notch manuals that make construction very straightforward.

Hans is a mad genius!!! The HAM world is most fortunate to have him in it!!!

This is simply fantastic. I am about to build my kit. Thank you Hans and David. Eric KO4ZSD

Hope they bring them down to 10khz of bandwidth with all the hd stuff because that would be equivalent to an average am radio station

I hope someone at RSGB takes notice of my message and resolves my issue. I had purchased a book from the online portal way back on July 10th [ order reference - AP365370058140]. I have been unsuccessful in resolving this through emails. I have still not received the package. This has been a very painful experience for me. Your staff by the name of Sue who was communicating and assuring me that a replacement has been dispatched and i would receive it last Friday! She is currently on leave and will return only on the 2nd Sept. The alternate email provided to me is not responsive! Please help! Did not expect this from RSGB.

Very professional presentation. Thank you RSGB! PS. I would like to see more presentations featuring hams between the age of 25-50 in hopes of balancing the demographic stigma that hams are all seniors. 73

Love the quality of and easy to build Qcx+. Today I tuned around 20m to only find one weak station calling cq. Had the QCX+ and a yaesu ft818 connected via a switch to a 20m dipole so I could switch between them. They both received the same weak signal but The QCX+ with its audio filter brought it out and made it more readable and it even decodes the cw on screen. WOW. I tuned the 15mhz time station and the Qcx did better. Thanks Hans. I highly recommend the QCX+ and other things from QRP-Labs.

It is beyond me why KZbin content creators think it is cool or enhances their video by playing music over the presenter's voice. We came to hear what is being said, we do not want to fight the background music. Many folks have hearing difficulties thus the music quickly becomes extremely annoying and intrusive and quite distracting. Playing music over the presenter's voice is demonstrating disrespectful to your audience!

You can also talk to people over the radio about things having nothing to do with radio.

God bless you! Love your work 73 de VK2AOE

i and other people worked hard to get there other call signs and i do not think it is fair to loose them as i still use my other calls

Does anyone know the transmission characteristics of the Lorenz Cipher/Tunny? FSK offset, start and stop bits, and baud rate? I'm trying to write an emulator.

Excellent video and thanks for Hans for those excellent kits. I enjoyed making a QCX and a QCXmini and also I am enjoying using them. The question of using more than 12V is not about the output power but about using a 4 LiIon or LiPol in series, I think. 73 de YO3HJV

"Unlicensed people can now operate amateur radio equipment under the supervision of a licence holder" Wasn't this already the case? I was supervised when I first used an amateur radio and have subsequently supervised countless others. Was this illegal?

This is excellent. I wish this existed for when I did my Foundation a decade ago!

Thank you Hans - a most enjoyable and informative talk. Look forward to finishing my QMX+ and getting it on the air and of course to all your future upgrades and kits. 73 Stewart/G3YSX

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Hans very good presentation and I will wait for the SSB SW to be developed. Dr HS0ZLQ, G0MIH.

Excellent video, but background music very annoying.

You get nothing for nothing, give people more privs and power in some areas but FORCE them to relinquish previous callsigns. Hardly fair forcing them. 😠

My overall view of the licence changes related to power is almost entirely negative. Rather than do something about the megawatt power users and their splattering across the airwaves and inappropriate use of wattage whatever the propagation conditions the changes have made things worse. We are a tiny crowded island and high power stations in urban areas swamping the low power users is now a real 'thing'. This is especially true where beam antennas are also used. I stick by my original view and suggestion that everyone should be limited to 100 watts erp whatever the licence. That is easily enough to get around the world. 73 M7BLC
