Hello Roger. Tried to call you today on 10 m FT8 but without luck.
ReplyDeleteYour FT8 signal level was in Moscow about -15 ... -20 dB. May be next time...

Good to hear from you Karen. It has been many years!
ReplyDeleteHello Roger,
ReplyDeleteglad to hear from you. A lot of changes for last 5 years including in our S....a house. Many new people in the team.
How is your health?
I continue to be active in QO-100 ground station design. After classical up-converter I moved to SDR solution in 2021 and now make the forth version of SDR station for Pluto.

Hi Karen - no real change in health. I still feel very giddy, and my voice is poor and still keep busy with experiments I can do from home. I hold one of the few 8m (40 MHz) UK permits. Excellent on your continued experiments - you always were working at the boundaries of technology!! I write the occasional article for ham magazines. 73s Roger G3XBM
ReplyDeleteHi Roger,
ReplyDeletea few years ago my friend had similar heart problems like yours but after the stroke he was able to gradually recover. I believed that you can get better, sorry.
As for your new license for 40 MHz it is very interesting, we now do not have such a frequency band. The band 38-40 MHz was available in the USSR for a short time from 1955 to 1959 and then radio amateurs was allocated to 28.0-29.7 MHz in 1959.
If I can help you with something please tell me. At least to make QO-100 kit is not at all difficult.
I shake your hand with wishes for improving health.
