Nice video, good old radios but too far. Especially the Eddystone receivers.

Glad you enjoyed it. Most of the rallies I've been to have at least one Eddystone radio. Personally I have one, a EC10A/2 which is a 12 or 24v marine version. I'm going to the Torbay rally again in two weeks time. I'll video it again for fun and will look for Eddystone gear. Rob

Nice to see the rally is still going, still at Penair School, and same time of year.😊 Have attended many times, including when it was at the Camborne School of Mining. The ladies (I think the Rev Eva's wife, and Pat Blackford were involved?) used to do nice refreshments, and David G3NPB was always around. It was much busier back then of course.

Would love to see a detailed video on how you build these kits and radios out. I’m especially interested in controlling radios via Raspberry Pi or PC, and forcing radios to be SDR radios in addition to upgrading the internal components of many of the inexpensive Chinese radios that are floating around.
@g4nqxhamradioАй бұрын
There is nothing special about the setup for WFView as it's mostly software. The only bit I did was the stepdown regulator to power the Pi constantly with no power issues.

The cost of HF amps is hyper expensive and also the cost of HF rigs as well and tuning around the HF bands at times there is no activity makes me wonder is it really worth it
@g4nqxhamradioАй бұрын
Activity is definitely low except for contests. Rigs today contain so much technology they don't compare to older rigs HOWEVER an older rig will make the contacts just the same but without the bells annd whistles. Prices for amps is all down to lack of supply of built components and a lot of custom made RF parts.

You meet some acquaintances there and find lots of nice things that make a radio operator happy. I wish you all the best and lots of nice connections. 73 Jörg

That's why amateur radio is dying and dead No young people no women all old men just one kid and two ladys

Plenty of women about but I probably missed them in recording. Certainly two licenced ladies on the WAB stall. I understand what you mean. Let's face it kids today have 1000 times more power in their cell phone than we have in one rig. I don't mean rf but sheer information and contact ability. It's hard to interest them in a voice from a speaker when they can walkabout talking to anyone and no licence required.

Glad you liked the video, makes it worthwhile doing. I do scan the items for sale for myself as well as filming. Didn't buy anything there but next day bought an Icom 706 Mk2 from Marketplace to use mobile along with my other. I visit two locations so I can now leave one down south and not lug gear about with me. 73's

I don't show it in the video. It's subject of another I'm making. I use 50 to 100W from the Icom dependent on first reports and QRM. I also use a homebrew rig with 12W output when bands a bit quieter. Lately the area around 7.160 has become very crowded when lower down it's empty, don't know why really. Rob

Battery is a 7Ah SLA and will do approx 3 x 30 minute trig activations. I have another identical battery in the car as spare. I'm making a 'stepup' charger so I can charge from the car if required but I've never needed more.

Thank you. This is the setup for 40m operating. I have a 80/40/20/15m trapped dipole for other work but I enjoy WAB. For WAB trig activation it's a 40m NVIS inverted V dipole antenna to get a strong signal into the UK. I have sometimes used a 12 Watt home brew 40m transceiver with good results.
