The Ham Radio Reverse Beacon Network, AD#32

The amateur radio Reverse Beacon Network (www.reversebeacon.net) offers the opportunity to see where in the world your signal is being heard. The RBN listens for CQs on CW, RTTY, and PSK-31, and will tell you which reverse beacon listener heard your signal. A fascinating way to see how your station works. Thank you for watching my videos! My channel, "Ham Radio Answers," is here to help you become an active, on-the-air amateur radio operator! I am unique in that I provide the only set of UA-cam training videos that accompany the ARRL license manuals, section for section. I try hard to answer every Ask Dave question individually if I can.
Credits: Music (Sour Tennessee Red) courtesy UA-cam Audio Library: www.youtube.co.... I often use graphics from openclipart.org -- a great source! I also frequently use photos and videos from www.nasa.gov. Several photos, such as the Concelman photo, the SMA male connector, and the Type N male and female connectors, come from https:www.wikipedia.org.
The Quicksilver coax installation kit can be found at www.qsradio.com.... Note that it doesn't include any connectors--you need to purchase those separately Also, see www.dxengineering.com for their pre-built cables.
I'm often asked what equipment I use to create the videos. The devices include the Panasonic HDC-TM90 video camera, Tascam DR-05 audio recorder, Audio-Technica ATR-3350 lapel microphone, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W560 digital camera, the Kodak Zi-8 video camera, my iPhone 5S, and Pentax K100D DSLR. Software used: CyberLink PowerDirector 13 on a Toshiba S55-A5294, also using Smoothdraw 4.0.5.0, FastStone Image Viewer 5.3, FastStone Capture 8.0, Audacity 2.1.1., and LibreOffice 5.0.4.2.
