Hi Ed, I knew these events were on and I totally forgot about it, hopefully I'll remember 145 alive next week, looks like you and Martin had a good day out.
Hello , I hope this message finds you very well . After obtaining my General license , back to back to back I experienced many inexplicable failures . Upon experiencing the most recent failure last night , this video , after hearing , no , immediately , the words from you , incredible loss of your Father . ALL was put into perspective , is the hobby incredible , yes , are the radios fascinating and engross our attention , yes . The sum of it ALL means absolutely NOTHING in comparison to the life and interactions with a LOVED ONE . Immediately , my Soul was calmed , immediately , ALL , was forced into its proper place . I know this video was produced for the stated purpose , however , it was explaining so much more . Prayers unto YOU and your Family , let your heart never “sink a little bit “ , Godspeed unto your Father , simply HE is seated at the right hand , DAD is in a Kingdom that has NO END . Again , Godspeed Old Friend .
I agree it's important to understand our past so that we don't make the same mistakes in the present and future, you also need to be able to convey the past, I often wonder do we ever learn from history considering the direction the world is going in at the moment, cheers Ed
Consider that the WLW tower was installed in the 30's, that is some engineering. I had crystal radio's that received it in Lebanon with only a radiator for ground and only a short wire for antenna. Love listing to Lux Radio Theater in the 50's with that when I should have been in bed sleeping. 50KW clear channel station.
It is hell trying to get this ‘good looking clock’ to work! But fear not , that this explanation given hereby has solved my problem ! After a year of having the clock hidden in a bag in a cupboard ! Thanks a million for having helped me this eve
Ed, you beat me to it mate 😁, I bought an anytone Ares 2 last year and also made a ten meters flower pot antenna also cut for the ssb part of the band, am thinking about modifying the antenna by cutting it short and having a binding post at the shortened length of the radiating element then have two resonator wire's with banana plugs each one cut for the different part of the band SSB and FM , going to try and listen out for G2NM next weekend.
Interesting, I live in East Preston and I have a 10m rig in the car but rarely set it up, must have a go from the water's edge one day, I keep mine at 10W though - Alistair M6TXL
Nineteen contacts in the log, with the most distant being a station just north of Heathrow. It was a great afternoon and I'm sure that lots of people made lots of contacts. I'm sure the organisers will do another 433 Alive event soon.
wello Ed, I'm with you re your review of the XHDATA, I've had one now for a few years now and quite happy with it, for a lower cost portable shortwave receiver it's good value, needed it for long wave for something I was doing and it pour performance didn't help but for everything else it's ok. The one thing I do with this radio is pull the battery when it's not going to be used for a long time the clock and over stuff that backs up the settings in the background will drain the battery 🔋 not a good thing for lithium iron batteries, just a thought if you want to save the settings whilst changing the battery have you thought about plugging in the charging lead whilst changing the battery.
Great vid i have just recently got the same scanner but not getting much look would it make more difference if i programmed it i live in york so hopefully thought i would get something and i have details of a local repeater but dont know how to connect to it lol any tips thanks pete
I wish it had hygrometer and barometer also. like those triple sensor watches !! Heck, they could even put in a mini Geiger counter and a swiss army knife if they could along with DAB and DMR decoding 🤣🤣
So strange to listen to this again after 3 years. I'd forgotten the build up. I can't describe just how incredible this felt and just how nervous we all were. We'd had literally no practice at all as there wasn't time. Me and Crouchie finished up some studio wiring of the red lights that very morning. I think I was running on not much sleep 😂
I have two of these radios. A new 2m Gateway for Hubnet has just opened. Now, I can programme any of my Beofengs or Quanshengs to hit that Gateway, but these two will not. Any suggestions?
The Yaesu FT-4X is one of the worst transceivers regarding the setup. I once got it going, unfortunately reset it to factory defaults and ever since the entire thing is playing up nicely. I cannot recommend this handheld transceiver. I bought it only as a second handheld in case of some emergency and the battery on my Yaesu FT-X8 went off. The FT-X8 is easy to program and has no quirks, the only quirk it has is the very high price. I will send the Yaesu FT-X4 back to the selling company for a refund as it is not suited for me. Well, it's made in China and not in Japan. Yaesu has to be careful with bad products otherwise they will lose their excellent name in the industry.
Internet Gateway Hellas Free Radio Net. Callsign 29250 FM Modulation. I'll try to catch the rest. I think it's related to the Extended Freedom internet linking project.
I heard this as well. Many times over the past two weeks. I also heard Japan, China on 10 m FM simplex, also heard stuff out of band from Asian fisherman
Hello wow that’s great! I am in the county of West Sussex, locator IO90ST. RX using a vertical colinear. Signal was always between S3 and S5. 73 and thanks for the message. Ed M0MNG.
Over here in Germany i can receive about 2 or 3 stations on Longwave as of 2023. Since i did my first Longwave bandscans many years ago, before Germany shut off all remaining Longwave stations and Mediumwave stations, i could hear probably 4 stations or so at max. Not much activity and the soundquality is about the same as on Mediumwave. I think the only remaining german station i heard was some weather status station probably for people working at sea.
@@MrEdTraveller I saw another vid on youtube and on the back clock its states DCF. Lidl are selling this for the same price. on the 15 oct 2023. I ahve a wall clock like this and the second hand makes tick tok sound but my dad drop it a the second hand stopped moving, the clocks fine and gets the MSF singnal.
my friend what you did , moving the hour hand , is the proper fix. but .. understand this . all 6 towers in the world transmit the exact same time . then the time zone is regulated by the watch/clock itself ....thats good only for atomic watches that have this feature built in .( casios citizens ,seikos etc, etc) since there is no time zone adjustment in these auriol clocks the hour hand must be set manually to GMT + or - depending on the country you live . so yes these clocks was germany time zoned . so when i bought this clock brand new it was set to 1 o'clock i live in greece so we have a + 1 hour from germany . thats why it was set to +1 yes they set the +/- it based on germany ( funny) and not based on UTC . so when you bought yours it should have been set to 11.00 o'clock , thats the -1 hour difference. instead im sure it was set to 12.00 o'clock simple as that
21:31 BBC R4 LW will be closing in March 2024. The announcements are being mentioned during the opt-out programmes. The announcements begun in May 2023. Yesterday in Parliament will go to BBC Radio 4 Extra along with the Daily Service. The shipping forecast is going to be carried by the HM Coastguard Service.
A ham that lives literally a few hundred yards from me asked me to look at his FT991A today, he was making the mistake of trying to enter the latitude and longitude in decimal form. I don't have one of these radios but fortunately I had guessed what his problem was before I had a look.
Doing this is NOT the solution, unless you are planning to leave the clock in the same location all the time. I bought three of these clocks and have discovered that, although the concept is good, they are totally unreliable. Mine, randomly lock onto the DCF77 signal, and sometimes the MSF60. This is often directly related to their location in my building, but not always. Like any radio signal, there are things which interrupt the signal to the receiver. I installed one in my campervan (BAD move), because now, I can never trust that I am looking at the German time or the UK time, if I have no other point of reference. If you, painstakingly, wind the hands back or forward, this will work - UNTIL it decides to pick up the signal from the opposite station (whatever signal strength it might have access to in any given moment). There needs to be an option to use ONLY one or the other of the two stations.
