Jamming 40 AM Wacky QSO
zhlédnutí 37Před 14 dny
Nice 40 m round table going and a jammer showed up probably because of jealousy of how nice the signals were sounding and his lack of social skills doesn't allow him to have a normal conversation. Definatly back east from this location. You hear this DF it guys.

Sounds good, but more low end would be better…
Civilians using military radios or military radio traffic sounds civilian to me
Thanks for your opinions. 73
Not the best conditions tonight...
Well your signal was good. :-)
@@n9amiwavelengthradio thanks.. loving my new 80 meter delta loop!
Those are some good sounding AM stations….😊
Is that one of the Collins 75A-4-SDR receivers??? Never seen one… 😂
Thanks for the video tour.
I like the SP-600 better, the 388 also sounds like it has a narrow filter running… maybe cause I have a SP-600 ? lol
Totally Agree
Mine has version 1.1.7 brand new.. birdies every where. Definitely 28.425. Its like the old sdrs where you can hear see the IF. Every band has spots that are s9 or 10 over with dummy load attached. Very disappointed. Im guessing this is hardware related. Some people have no birdies i guess?
Some people lie to save face.
Found me at 15 minutes in, I'll be back again this year, if I can make the trip
I used to swl AM radio nets on 80 meters back in the 80s. Ill have to try and see I can hear this one some Sunday morning. I'm in Texas. Thanks for posting this video.
Tim it will probably be pretty rough to get at that time of day and distance. But hey you can listen to the youtube. Thanks for tuning in.
I remember way back it seemed like the AM guys didn't like short transmissions, when they keyed up they would stay keyed up and say everything they needed to say before turning it over to the next person. Sometimes each guy would talk for several minutes before unkeying. I used to think it was probably best for their transmitters to do it this way. Anyway, Thanks for posting.
You are correct..I have thrown down some short 20-minute overs. Tim Tron can go for hours.
Hey John, what time is this net???
Oh usually they shoot for 730am Pacific however folks get on pre and usually are going by 715am.
I understand the VPN solution for ensuring a consistent IP address and network. I am wondering if port forwarding works with this scheme? I use a K3, remote rig boxes and a K3/0 for control. 73, Dennis, K7FL
No port forwarding on these type of internet connections.
Thanks John! Good to see the gang! Really bummed to have to be stuck in this neck brace and grounded for 6 weeks. But hopefully in a few days...next phase of rehab is going to let me drive. But look how much money and garage space I saved!
Sorry you were not able to attend. You were missed.
It seems pretty difficult to bring a camera into a radio convention. But as for us who like radios it's cool to see. Thank you for filming and everybody dealing with the camera thanks for the patience.
K DWN 720 an from the Union Plaza Hotel Number One Main Street Las Vegas 😊
Really lousy band conditions tonight...
Yup been bad.
I will see you guys in August at Huntsville and looking forward to being around awhile and mixing it up with you guys. I will get the xyl on the air also.
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. 73 from South Africa ZS land
Xiegu is Chinese for Shoigu... 😂
I might know why the current meter is pegged at 0 - It's blown. It's likely suffered an overvoltage/overcurrent situation from a nearby electrical strike. That's the last meter on the output, isn't it?
Get a BCI filter kit.what your seeing is broadcast overload
BCI kit doesn't fix birdies. But thanks. What that radio needs is a American or Japanese engineer to design it ..
@@n9amiwavelengthradio what I am saying is part of what you are calling a birdie is BCI
@@jessgypin-ko5ds No its not. Also, if the radio is that bad as it needs filters to attenuate that sort of signals its a terrible design and not worth 100 bucks. Appreciate your input though.
Like others have said, if it is not there with the antenna off it is not a birdie
Dude it's there with the antenna off.
Your camera is really grainy
I would be glad to accept your donation of a new 4K camera thanks.
What kind of tubes it use on the final stage ???
4-400 pair modulated by 4-400 pair.
@@n9amiwavelengthradio thank you. The power output is about 250W ??
I wonder what your AGC level is set to. also what is your ANT gain set at. Why don't you set your display AVG to a higher level?
Why would I want to do that? AVG is fine at 50. No ant gain as you do not use nor need a preamp on the low bands. AGC is set to medium as you can see on the display. Thanks for watching.
Anyone able to explain exactly what each part means?
You're kidding right lol...Sorry that would be a master class and take up more time than most people's short attention spans here have. But thanks for watching. I will have a final episode with the install of a ptt and full test.
Hi
Howdy
What a cool idea to use vintage military radios. How far flung are the members? AM seems like it'll travel some distance.
The distance all depends on the band they would choose to operate, time of day and conditions. I have talked from Nevada to the Neatherlands before on AM. Lots of the group have many military radios. Its a whole other aspect of the radio hobby.
I will be attending again this year. We had a great time last year. Looking forward to hanging out in Huntsville for a few days again.
I liked how you flipped it off at the end! I'm going to start doing that! And kudos to you for posting a video that doesn't give expected results! Everyone posts videos of joy and seldom "fails". this is real world! thank you John! de kd0ezs
Thanks Matt. Did find a bad hv choke but turns out I have more shorts not in big iron. It will get sorted or we will have a good time with AR15 practice.
Top marks for excellent quality review. Interesting and fair comparison. I own a Flex 6600 and recently acquired a Anan 8000DLE. The Flex is practically plug-n-play, so easy to get on air, but have far less "flexible" parameters than the Anan. Noise Reduction is much better on Anan than Flex if thats important to you. If you want "easy to configure and get on air", then Flex is definitely the one to get. Also if remote operation is important to you, Flex is simple and reliable and is my go-to when I wanna operate remotely. But when I want to tinker and experiment, the the Anan is the one I turn on and immerse myself in. Puresignal, effective NR, and true diversity RX works well on the Anan. That's why I "had" to have one. 73 de VE7OVY
Totaly agree thanks for for watching.
Crazy, 4 people sitting behind 4 boat anchors 😂😂😂
Pretty large turnout. Ahh sure wish I could've seen the pricing on those Heathkits, Drakes and Collins.
I’m super clueless with audio tech. What was the original application for these?
Both are receivers for amatuer radio. Both were used in civilian and military applications.
WOW a clean Thetis GUI.... carry on! NICE!
Great SDR lower cost receiver and perhaps the best SDR software!
Great to see nice clean SmartSDR GUI devoid of additional gaudy visual add-ons..... I'm not a Mac guy but still attempt to use SSDR MAC and it sometimes just gives me fits! Thanks es 73, Mike
It was actually OBS studio for mac that was the issue.. The SmartSDR works great. Been trying to sort it out for months on the OBS..
I will add I am a pc guy. XYL talked me into this $$ Mac last fall. I could have purchased a 2kw ldmos amp!
@@n9amiwavelengthradio I gave up on OBS on my MAC. Usually "Things just work” on a MAC... but OBS was painless on my pc so I stream from there!
Yup it works great on the pc.
Mike broke my computer lol... Dont expect a great recording.
A bunch of idiots who cares
Sunday afternoon
War every Sunday in northeast on 7290
Yea, honestly it's total BS these days.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
2metercrew? Your not even on hf lol... Thanks for watching
Some of us still run AM on VHF 😊😊😊
Yea its dead here.
Thank you for posting this!
UPDATE: I have left Starlink for T Mobile internet. Its faster and half the price. I have been running this for 2 months now with good results. It was no available until recently here. And no issues with remoting my ham gear if I wish.
Greetings from Germany. Let's meet on 29 MHz for an AM QSO. Vy 73 DJ9PE
The common point current would change with modulation, regardless.
Very surprised you heard me so well with the band conditions! I'm not sure whats worse the QRM or the static! LOL
Its because you took the time to setup a bad ass station.
@@n9amiwavelengthradio Bahaha Thanks buddy! You Set that bar high!
AM - Please also try it at 29.000 Mc for AM-stns in Europe.
Tough conditions tonight..
Hear us at 29.000 MHz (10m-band), the only AM-frequencies for IARU-Region 1.
Called cq on there today for a good 20 minutes nada...
How's the NB?
Works good when needed.
