Commentary for Jan 2008 |
|
- Jan 08 - I am still trying to
find the time to add all of the items I have, mainly
for the Mark V. A number of you have sent me items
which I simply haven't gotten to yet. We have an
ongoing family illness which is consuming most of my
time and so I thank you for your patience.
- I traded my MP
for a Mark V, so watch for more info on that radio.
- This weekend I tried the
HamCap propagation
software after reading about it in QST. It certainly
lives up to reviews and integrates with
DX Atlas. I found
that it clearly showed me areas of the globe that
were open to me (the lighter the map areas, the
better chance for good propagation and Signal to
Noise ratio) based on my location and the type of
antenna I was using. I compared this to the stations
I was able to work and found it worked very well. It
also explained why I wasn't able to talk with
stations on the lower bands during the day. Very
worthwhile download.
- I also tried the Romac
Sound Card Manager
which creates a profile for each piece of Ham Radio
Software that you use and remembers the sound card
settings. Particularly useful for PSK, RTTY and
SlowScan TV.
