Some of this mornings EME QSO’s
Here I am cleaning up in my father’s workshop. It is the year of 1979 I believe.
What a mess!
Much better
As shown in my previous post, my new 144MHz antenna setup works much better than before.
It has been a very busy morning, whit lot of QSO’s. Even worked a single yagi station, only worked 4 and up yagi stations before.
Some of my QSO’s this morning
Bussy
My 144MHz array is finally of the ground and up where it belongs again.
Here are some pix of the setup.

Battling with some old config files after an upgrade here.
That’s why this silly warning images appear all over
…………..working on it.
Should be OK by now.
Now I am going a bit of topic again, but what is the best aircraft sound, or noise if you will?
If you ask me; nr#2 – UH-1 “Huey” Helicopter where the crew is playing the Rolling Stones, loooooooadly.
nr#1; Any aircraft, caring one or more of the famous Rolls-Royce Merlin engines; spitfire, hurricane, battle, Lancaster, etc. but the best of them all (in my mind) a P-51 Mustang fitted with the RR merlin
well, twenty was working like a champ last night, but now!
Who have turned OFF the bands?!!!
Indices dos not look good
Been busy on the vhf bands doing eme and stuff the last year or so, have not done HF CW in the last six months or so. Last night I heard #WPXCW was on, could not resist participating a bit.
Got a whisper from a friend about his cheap single-board computer.
Have now two of these running with RTL-SDR receivers, decoding ads-b.
Works very good, much cheaper than original pi’s
