HAM RADIO - LOW NOISE to VK and UK
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- For some time now I have been Chasing SOTA, POTA and WWFF Parks Awards.
Many of my Australian friends have made comment that i seem to hear them very well particularly on 40 mtrs.
This video records some of my recent QSO's to VK WWFF activators so you can hear what I am hearing..
The Receive Antenna is a Ground Loop approximately 52Mtrs long, going around my property.
More about this Antenna can be found in this video....
Eliminate the noise • HAM RADIO - Eliminate ...
A REAL surprise is waiting for you at the end of the video..................
Cheers , great video. Cal and that bike mobile were coming through ao clear !! Mark, 2E0MSR
Thank you Mark..... Cheers 🍷
Great work Roly. You are such a Pro. 73 and Merry Christmas. Hope you and your family have a happy New Year. Joe
Merry Christmas 🎄
Wow, Callum came through loud and clear 😃
73. Merry Christmas 🎅 Best wishes for the new year.
Merry Christmas 🎄Richard... See you again in the New Year ...cheers
Great stuff Roly! Love that loop receive antenna of yours. Will hopefully soon be investigating one of those myself. Cheers, Tom - WA7FLY
Please do! You won't be disappointed ....cheers
Callum sounded really good! I recently built a LoG for myself and really like what it does for signal to noise on 40 and 75. Mine is only 15 foot a side not as large as yours and only use the preamp in the rig at the moment.
Good news Jeremy, thanks for the input.
Cheers and HNY 🍷
Merry Christmas Roly.... great video. I'm looking forward to building a ground loop RX antenna at the new QTH (if I ever get moved).
Yep works well
Happy Christmas 🎄
cheers
Thank you Roly for the voice and CW contacts. It is always good to get you in the log. 73 James
You are very welcome James
Happy Christmas 🎄
cheers
Thank you for another interesting and informative video. Was so looking forward to a QSO of me ( but you work many and had to choose)
Merry Christmas and looking forward to you chasing me next year (usually a SOTA Summit)

Great Video as always Roly! 73s and Happy New Years to you! DE Tim, ND4A
Happy new year Tim....cheers

Separate receive antenna is a great asset to have for any ham radio operator.
Thankfully the IC-7610 has the connectivity on the rear of radio..
Happy Christmas 🎄 to you and your Family Roly.
Absolutely true Robbie. I have modified my IC-7300 for a seperate Rx antenna. Very easy to do.....
Happy Christmas 🎄
cheers
@@ZL1BQDRoly Maybe a show as to how you did it, I have a new 7300 never out of the box but am interested in a receive antenna ability also?
I didn't make a video (though perhaps i should) as there are a few out there already.... cheers
@@americaswayout4489 This would be a video that might be helpful, 73. ua-cam.com/video/HBajms1EnuA/v-deo.html
Merry Christmas Roly, looking forward to seeing more videos and maybe even making contact on the air one day from South Carolina USA.
Thank you for all your support James
Happy Christmas 🎄
cheers
He gets where a draft doesn’t Roly 😁

Enjoyed the video..(Edited so as not to spoil the surprise for future viewers..sorry Roly)! That's interesting, seems very unique to me
A lot of fun Andy....
Happy Christmas 🎄.....cheers
Another good show, Merry Christmas Roly. Cal sounded good. Kd4mao
appy Christmas 🎄
Cheers
Merry Christmas Roly have a good one
Happy holidays!
Happy Christmas 🎄
Cheers
Are you transmitting and receiving on the loop? I only have 1 input on my radio icom ic-718. How would it hook up with one input and separate receiving and transmit?
Hi, great video. I am new very new.. dont have my radio yet, but looking at Yaesu FT-450D - I have a postage stamp of a garden and can only really mount a antenna to my chimmy pot. its a bunglaow so not so high. what would u recommend?anyone can come back to me.
Welcome to the fascinating world of Ham Radio. I am sure others will chime in and help you. Join a local club would be a good idea.
You will probably end up with some sort of vertical antenna.
If you confine yourself to 20mtrs and higher now that the bands are performing quite well you will be able to work some very good DX on relatively small antennas. Cheers
Lovely video Roly. What was the reason you didn't answer Calum's CQ. Even if I made the contact 20 min earlier, I make a quick call (unless they are working a pileup) , to let them know how propagation is working from their station.
Happy Christmas Holiday, Ed
On my regular Transmit Antenna i could hear absolutely nothing.
Tried both my dipole and DXCommander Vertical but not a thing.
I could receive on the ground loop BUT only after switching in a 20dB preamp and then tailoring the audio with my audio mixer to get rid of all the high's and maximise for Cal's audio response....
Happy Christmas 🎄
Cheers
@@ZL1BQDRoly I keep forgetting the variables and I default to something my father often said, "if I can hear them, I can work them." But he only operated on vhf/uhf am and ssb.
Good mantra none the less. Gotta hear 'em before you can work 'em.
Happy Christmas 🎄
