A couple of hours WSPRing on Ten.......de MW0BYS

10m WSPR 11th October 2011

 This morning I decided to run WSPR for a couple of hours on the 10 metre band. 

By just using 5 watts to a Sirio 5/8th wave vertical, I was able to get the following in the log book:

Best distance was to VK2XN/2, a total of 10,494.29 miles. 

With my 5 watts that works out to 2098.86 miles per watt.

Morse Code....."it will go on forever"......

Pembs Radio Society... looking back to 1968 de M6ATK

I have been in contact with gw0guy in Haverfordwest as I have some old photo's of some members of the club and some of the things we used to get up to way back in 1968, which I thought may be of interest to your members and for the club archive. 

In the top picture I am the good looking one on the right but not so good looking now hi, I am hoping to have a qso with the club this Friday but gw0guy and I have each others phone numbers so will arrange details in the next day or so, if you zoom in on the pictures the text becomes quite clear.

Bill Mawston who is sadly no longer with us, was a great friend of mine and we spent many hours on the air in his shack. 

David Roberts is now living up in London, I did manage to track him down about 12 months ago but he said all his gear is up in the attic and not used it for years. 

As for any one else, only you down there may know who they are in these photos. 

Hope to talk to you all at the club, and perhaps a regular qso from time to time.

Bodging a morse paddle..

A few weeks ago I got it into my head that I wanted to try out a morse paddle......

One problem....... I don't have a morse paddle...

But I do have a few morse keys.



Half an hour later, and a stereo jack and some wood/nails/saw/hammer...and I was sending CQ on my new "MJB" morse paddle.


I've heard of people successfully using a computer mouse as a paddle......probably my next project.... :0)

20m Delta Loop....de MW0BBU.

While trawling through various sites I came across this from LA8OKA.

Now I remember having something similar up at MW0BBU several years ago.

The one I had was really good for SWR, quite wide in its bandwidth, was really good on receive, gave out a really good signal.. wait for it..... It rang my Telephone every time I used it, much to the non amusement of the household.

To be fair, when I reduced the power all was ok.

Seeing this has made me wonder how well it may do me for my QRP exploits.
Worth a go me thinks.

Steve... MW0BBU.
