Hi Nick - great to hear you today on 10 meters - and you're looking great on this video. Take care - de Wa7mmm - Greg in Portland, OR

Is this how you'll are coordinating the riots?

That lady needs a medal.

Sounds interesting, I like the sound of your goals.

Rachael. if you want to operate a HF/VHF/UHF shack at any time, you are always welcome to come and use my reasonably well appointed radio shack in between Wakefield and Barnsley.. Come and visit any day, I am retired so the shack is availabe anytime.. message me at g1mhu@hotmail,com if you want to visit.. The shack is Icom based, IC-7610 for voice and data modes, IC-9700 for VHF/UHF with Sat and limited EME capability, IC-705, lots of test equipment. I can teach you to use FT8 etc.. Robin G1MHU..

Your online presentation of the OCF Dipole, by DJ01P is without exception the very best. 2E0HVU👍

Another excellent forum on radio transmissions-some mission- well done team. Looking forward to hearing about the trip. Good luck and stay safe. Cam cameron VR FRGS

Fascinating little chunk of history!

A must watch for hounds working and foxes running DXpeditions.

EXCELLENT presentation!

Hi : As the club member who streams the net to KZbin I wanted to apologise for one or two poor sections in our live stream . As users of digital radio will know ( and of anyone using an HF radio too) there can be occasional issues resulting in loss of audio . Of course like digital TV it’s more pronounced - either the digital stream is working or it stops ! That does happen occasionally but this net has meant that our club members and friends from anywhere in the world can have a good regular chat about all things radio related . We enjoy running this net and our weekly chat . In last nights streaming I experimented using my IC705 and my computer to listen and my laptop using a DV stick to transmit . This proved to add too much complexity and some more episodes where the stream dropped out . A learning lesson for me ! Radio amateurs know that keeping things simple is usually the best approach . I will return next week to the usual way I listen , transmit and stream ! Best wishes and 73 Nick G4IWO ( Denby Dale amateur radio club chair )

It would be cool to have FT8 Fox/Hound mode with 2,3,4 streams to practice with like MorseRunner.

Great tutorial Al, tnx. A ton of good Fox/Hound info. Good luck to you and Bob on your dxpeditions!

Never had an issue with mine. Rule number one is Never over think a dipole.

I was following the Rockall DX Expedition 'online' as I did not have an HF Radio then. 73 de Jon, VU2JO

Thoroughly enjoyed the video but a little disappointed that so few of the major figures in the Marconi Company were mentioned. My Grandfather - Capt Henry J Round MC - was an important figure in Marconi's life as his personal assistant and Chief of Research during his long association with the company. Worth checking out his importance by reading WJ Baker's 'History of the Marconi Company' and Raboy's hefty biography 'Marconi'.

Who are those tiny, tiny people in the very small window in the upper right? Your opening screen was on way too long. Lets see some antennas, or long wires that are off center fed. I'm 4 minutes in and you're putting me to sleep. Just my honest opinion as I think the subject is great, but the presentation missed its mark.

One of the most helpful presentations I have seen in a long time.

FT4 IS acknowledged as a sub-mod of MFSK

What a great presentation , great chap John. OK very fringe and because of that very interesting. His publication must be good also. MIKE G7VYH

Excellent presentation. 73 ZL3GAV/E6SP

Fine presentation.

Neil those two books will inspire you . Some great ideas in both ! 73 Nick G4IWO

EXCELLENT. ROFL: My antenna, still in its shipping wrap, has moved from the cupboard to the kitchen - that's progress. It's a 15 metre hamstick which I plan to use as is and also convert to a 40 metres vertical λ/4, using it as a loading coil. I also bought two recommended books from the RSGB. The Antenna Notebook AND Portable Antennas for Everyone.

Darn missed the net!

Extremely interesting. Thank you.

Superb! Really enjoyed this lecture come lesson or briefing. Can’t wait for part 2. I have built a flagpole antenna, which is an OFCD doublet mounted vertically with no radials. Mainly to use on 40 and oddly 60 meters, and only 20 feet. It does work great on 40 but does not on 60.

Tnx QSO 73

I am not sure putting a hotspot on an antenna is a good idea at all. They are not designed for that. Use a proper radio with good filtering 😊

Well done Paul. I’ve yet to take my 705 out of the shack. I’m looking forward to better WX soon to get some Portable operating in. Speak soon. 73 Chris M0RSF

Brilliant Paul, keep up the good work with QRP! Mike DL1BJW

That’s brilliant Mike 😊

Such a cool video! I heard Germany today and had no idea what to do. Thank you for sharing this publicly!

I hope all Hounds watch this to learn and understand what is going on the Fox' side and why the Hounds have do do what K7AR tells them. Thanks to K7AR for a good presentation of the FT8 DXpedition mode. The example described from 29:43 where two Hounds were not moved to the Fox' TX frequency is caused by callers using the standard FT8 mode at above 1000 Hz and have checked "Hold TX Freq", which works just fine. However, when the caller does not move the TX frequency, the advantage of a quiet operating frequency is lost, which may jeapordize the completion of the QSO due to the likely QRM from other callers.

1:05:50 I'm fiddling around trying to get 40 and 30 working on an OCFDP. This is good information to have. Thanks.

de KN2Z - I attended this zoom session yesterday. I must say that Chris did an outstanding job with this presentation and an amazing job of getting youngsters exposed to amateur radio. I've been wanting to do something like this here in the USA and have been waiting for others to step up and help out. Chris has made me realize, yes there is much work to do but I CAN do this myself. Of course I'll have teachers and maybe some parents available to help with logistics but I can certainly get things moving. The thing is, kids will be kids regardless of where they live. I am confident that so many data points Chris pointed out will surely apply here in the US. Thank you Chris. And I look forward to hearing about round 2.

Congratulations on your success. I have been lucky enough to join some of your online presentations. As secretary of another club I dont have time to join in often but your beliefs and methods are very close to ours. Many clubs closed over recent years but the active ones are growing so it must be worth the effort. Keep up the good work. 73 Alan M0OLT.

Brill. Thank you

Seems to me the problem is not with any particular antenna, but with the frequencies that have been allocated to the amateur radio community. I’m sure there is a lot of historical precedence and real-world reasons why it isn’t so today, but why weren’t the allocations granted by the FCC originally designed to match the resonances of one very good multi-band antenna. It seems they got pretty close in many cases, but missed the actual mark.

Great presentation! Much appreciated.

Thank you for a superb presentation. M0DSK
