The Forum user structure is based on an amateur radio callsign.
If you do not have one and you use anything else then expect it to be changed before the account is acrivated for posting.
Look out for an email sent to your supplied address.
ALL user IDs must be in capitals, so 'vk4zzz' must be entered as 'VK4ZZZ'. Anything in lower case has to be changed before account activation so may reflect in an unknown delay..
Almost all new applicants undergo a security check process to eliminate scammers and hackers.
Questionable accounts may be deleted without warning, notice or excuse.
Make sure you read the Forum Rules before posting..
If replying to an existing thread then use the 'New Reply' button - and NOT the 'Reply' one directly below the message text.

Several years ago I purchased a couple of boards from the then VK4DD using the BLF278 devices.....At the time I assembled the two pallets and mounted them on the copper plates with the view of combining the two.....any ways time got away and now I am keen to finish the project......I am wondering if anyone else has used this combo and got it running successfully....I am after any info about setting them up, particularly the bias arrangement.....Cheers...David VK5AYD

Wire Antennas and Foliage |

Hi All,
Although I live on a large block with a couple of generous sheds, there are no big trees closer than 40 or 50 metres from the shed. To complicate things that 40 or 50 metres also crosses the compacted earth driveway to the sheds (i.e. no chance of digging a trench).
Behind the shed, is a boundary fence and in between is a row of four or five metre tall Callistemons (aka Bottle Brushes).
I was toying with hanging a 40m EFHW in the Callistemons.
Is contact between the wire and the foliage an issue?
Same question for an OCF or dipole.
Cheers

FTDX101D or IC7610 ? |

Hi All,
This is more focused towards the people who may be familiar with both the Yaesu FTDX101D and Icom IC7610.
I currently have a FTDX5000MP which I am happy with, but as technology has improved, I'd like to get into rigs that are Software Derived.
From what I have reduced it down to is either the FTDX101D or the IC7610, which from what I understand are very evenly matched.
My focus is based around Noise Reduction.
For those who know both, what's your opinion?

FYI...
Dear WSJT-X Users,
We are pleased to announce that Release Candidate WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc5 is

SuperFox mode, a powerful new tool designed to help DXpeditions make
digital QSOs at very high rates. For additional details see

RC5 also brings several other improvements and bug fixes. A full list
of enhancements since Release Candidate 4 can be found in the Release Notes and Section 1.1 of the WSJT-X User Guide:
https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx-doc/Re....0-rc5.txt
https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx-doc/ws...W_FEATURES
Release Candidates are intended for beta testers. If you download and
use WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc5, please remember to provide feedback to us on the
new features in version 2.7, and on anything that does not seem to work
properly for you.

I have installed two unique instances of WSJTX on my laptop, one for my 7610 and the other for my 9700 and run both at the same time when doing meteor scatter. I had something strange occur the last time I used both. The 9700 decode screen was decoding exactly the same signals as the 7610 screen. The only way I can see this happening is a problem with the USB ports in the laptop. The 7610 uses ports 3 and 4 while the 9700 uses ports 7 and 8. I really doubt the stations I was copying on 6m were running identical transmissions on 2m. Has anyone else come across this?
I have resorted to only running one instance of WSJTX at a time now to avoid the problem.

Good Afternoon, I was sorting my old radio equipment box and found an old TNC-320. It is missing the Prom and Eprom.
Is anyone able to assist with a service manual / component layout. I am also looking for replacement Prom and Eprom or
the files. This request is a long shot I am still putting it out there.
Regards
Ian
VK4YIP.
