Glad you enjoyed it. I did enjoying seeing "Home Brew 1929 TNT Transmitter" on your qrz page. Reminded me of my old homebrewing days in late 1980s! I had homebrewed a 3 x 807 CW/AM TX and worked a few 'W's as well, on CW in 1989.

Thank you.

Welcome. 73 de VU2JO

Thank you. 73 de Jon, VU2JO

Thank you very much.

Thanks

Thank you

Yes, correct. Hope to hear you on air soon. There is a pre-Belgaum net round table daily on 7050 kHz before 7 am, from 6.30 am and sometimes much before that, depending on propagation. 73 de Jon, VU2JO

Keep watching

Thanks for sharing

Glad it was helpful!

I remember seeing a two element cubical quad for 20 m at ham's QTH about 200 miles from here, which he used to rotate by 'Armstrong' method. The noise level in my radio is really distressing. S9 on 40m most of the time! But for space constraints here, I always think of loop antennas. 73 de Jon, VU2JO

So nice of you

There is also a slight defect. If you observe carefully, the upper element has an angle from the lower one. But it has not changed the performance. 73 de Jon, VU2JO

@@johnsonstechworld Yes, I saw that on other CP22E's too. Good to hear it's still good. Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks for the info! I have only IC 2730 FM dual band amateur radio, which is analog. There are FM Broacast receivers in cars at home. But I am not sure whether they are software defined radios. 73 de Jon, VU2JO

Thank you.

You're welcome

Thank you very much. Glad to know that you were at LAPAN Satelite Technology Center. Hope to hear you on band! 73 de Jon, VU2JO

Great to see you here! Thanks for the nice QSO. 73

So nice of you

Yes they are! 73

You are most welcome! 73 de VU2JO

Welcome. 73

You are right. But I should get a new radio for that! My IC 2730 is FM only. 73

@@johnsonstechworld Icom 910. Best satellite rig I’ve used. Reasonable price now

Shall check with VU dealers. 73

Thank you so much. Your QRZ profile shows a good VHF beam. Hoping to hear you on LEO satellites soon, with another UHF beam for RX. Wonder whether you are there on the LEO satellite group? 73

Thank you kindly. Like any child in my era, after the Apollo 11 moon landing, I was also very fond of space travel. So at least let my voice travel over radio waves into space, though it is not uncommon in these days with many of the overseas phone calls being relayed by satellites, I presume.

Thanks a lot Kishor!

Thank you very much.

Thanks a lot

You're welcome!

Shalll plan soon.

Yes. SMF means Sealed Maintenance Free battery. It is also called SLA: Sealed Lead Acid battery. VRLA means Valve Regulated Lead Acid battery. Though the battery has a catalyst on its lead plates for facilitating recombination of gases produced, inadvertent high charging currents could produce explosive levels of gas build up, which is released using a safety valve like mechanism and hence the name. Electrolyte is either in gel form or embedded in a fiber glass mesh.

Thanks

So nice of you

Thanks 🤗

The most important difference that I am aware of is the sanction for higher power which is 400 Watts on HF in case of General Grade.

You're welcome! Your homebrew VHF J-Pole may be enough to receive signals from International Space Station during good passes, along with your dual band hand held VHF/UHF radio. VU2JKR had contacted astronauts on Mir Space Station using a homebrew J-Pole, long back. He had used a dual band base station then. Hope to hear you on satellites soon. 73 de Jon, VU2JO.

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot for the detailed info about IC 718. I bought an FT-710 as many advised me that a waterfall display is needed. I find that quite useful (ua-cam.com/video/f5IfhQALarg/v-deo.html) for my way of working DX now.

Thank you for viewing.

So nice of you

Very true! Thanks a lot for watching and adding your valuable insight. 73

Yes! Any ham radio which can monitor more than one band simultaneously?

I just switch it off when I am on the radio. At other times I use it to listen music from my laptop. Just now I found out that RFI disappears if I remove the USB cable taking power to the speaker! Never thought of opening up the power supply and finding how it produces RFI or whether there is a solution for it. I felt that it is beyond me! As it is fully sealed, if I have to look inside, I have to break it open! If I get some snap on ferrite beads, I could try it over the connected USB cable.

Thank you

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you

You are welcome
