And 4 days ago on 11,348 kHz. The antenna is a T2FD, the Diamond WD330S. Receiver is the FTdx10 and the decoder is MultiPSK as you will recognize. 😜

I've been decoding HFDL also over the last few days. This is what I've picked up on 8843 over the past 24 hours.

"mine" 😜 has also Receive frequency: 25-2000MHz. I use it also for normal and military airband and marine traffic. Be that the nearby river.... But the 6 M halo could be a better option as it is horizontal.

SQBM1000P MkII Triband 6/2/70 Vertical

I am using a Diamond V2000 for that. Cheaper option is the SQBM1000P MkII Triband 6/2/70 Vertical by Moonraker. It seems to be the same antenna configuration. moonrakeronline.com/eu/sqbm1000p...

The SQBM100P MKII Tri Band HAM Antenna from Moonraker is built to last. It comes pre-tuned and fully weatherproofed. Buy one today.

Come on! Keep going! You're almost there!

For someone who is so left-handed that it’s almost right-handed, this is an eyesore and practically life-threatening... But I know there are people who are totally fine with it. 😜 Anyway, enjoy your updated workspace. 🤗

I would have told her the new clothes-drying rack was ready. And, based on the optimal drying time calculation (wind speed / spin RPM * rack height), this height was best for drying. The most she would say was that she was happy with it but daunted by the climb. Followed by a "Thank you, darling!"

There is also rail via Belarus and Lithuania. Due to sanctions, EU and Lithuania agreed that rail transport of non-sanctioned goods may continue in regulated volumes. Rail transport has decreased significantly. Air transport is used almost exclusively for passengers and high-value/urgent cargo.

Indeed, like Vittorio said, a long discussion, without ever reaching a conclusion. And it’s surely much more pleasant to chat about something else over a bite and a drink. 🤗

Debatable. 😉 There is no definition of QRP other than the general rule that, for CW, it is 5 watts. Exactly where you feed that 5 watts into isn't defined. Unless, of course, we were to redefine QRP in terms of EIRP. Personally, I don't really consider high gain antenna setups to be QRP either.

Conversely, your signal has been "boosted" by the same amount of gain. That said, both could still have done with a few decibels less and still maintained a good connection. 🤗

Given the Yagi the other operator is using, he might have been running less power than you were. He had a 14 dB advantage on you, = EIRP of 125 W. His OptiBeam is 14 dBi on 20. Factoring in his antenna height and ground effect, his actual power output could have been less than 5 watts. 😉

😱 Doesn't exactly sound like fun... Let's hope it heals quickly.

Back to HFDL reception on HF for a change. 11,348 kHz, good reception. The antenna is a T2FD, the Diamond WD330S. Receiver is the FTdx10 and the decoder is MultiPSK. #digimode #HFDL #MultiPSK #hfradio #hfutility

Kees PC1I @pc1i.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Found it! Your Mark is set to 900 something Hz. That is below the standard freq that MMTTY uses for the peak filter display. Set it to 2125 and you will see de dual peak. I try to find what to do with other Mark settings as they are offered. You just keep contesting. 😜

Kees PC1I @pc1i.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Right click in the screen where the Lissajous figure is visible and then choose FFT as I remember (or is it Twin peak?)

Check out Geekom, Minisforum, Beelink, AceMagic, and GMKtec. They frequently have special offers. They offer very good mini PCs with AMD Ryzen 5 and 7 processors. Or Intel, if you prefer. I use an AceMagic AM06 in my shack (AMD Ryzen 7 5825U, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD). I paid €329 for it in May 2025.

This is what i received the last 12 hours on 12 meter. So from 08:30 to 20:30 UTC. Funny, not one station received from the North America region.

ZS6BKW in inverted V configuration has been my antenne for many years. But after experiencing more and more man made noise I replaced it with a T2FD (Diamond WD330S). When living in a more noise free environment I guess it would be a ZS6BKW again for me.

Kees PC1I @pc1i.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

It’s more a matter of being burdened with many vague memories and confirming them by looking things up... 😜

Kees PC1I @pc1i.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Till '94 it was brewed in The Netherlands. In '94 the DB breweries Waitemata Brewery in Auckland invested 12 million in "Heineken brew technology" to meet the Heineken standards and started brewing there under strict control from the brewery in The Netherlands.

Could be! But first, an FTX-1 Optima... 🤗

Then, at the end of the night, we’d show them the Skol tanks the beer actually came from... I saw quite a few bright red faces back then, because it simply couldn't be true that they’d been drinking Skol all evening. 😜 3/3

100

Brand was Skol, which generally didn't have a good reputation. Whenever we ran out of coasters, we’d borrow some from other pubs. Suddenly, Heineken or Amstel coasters appeared on one of the three bars. And people would only get their beer at that specific bar, convinced it tasted much better. 2/3

100

In the 80s, I worked as barkeeper / DJ on the island of Schiermonnikoog at a dance club that was the first in the northern Netherlands to serve beer from tanks. We had six 1,000-liter tanks. In the summer, a tanker truck would come every five days to refill them. 1/3

200

Oh, this really makes me want to head south... We were in Spain in May/June 2025 and February 2026, and we enjoyed many lovely meals in the restaurants. Whether in the morning, afternoon, or evening... We’ll definitely head that way again, though it will be a while before we do.

In reality, oversight has only deteriorated since the introduction of CE marking. The authorities are constantly playing catch-up. Let alone actually solving anything... 3/3

But ultimately, 90% of the rooftop panels are wired incorrectly, and no one is going to undo that. Then came the EV charging stations. And now we’re heading down the same path with plug-in battery systems. It starts with the products that do not meet the requirements. 2/3

Yes, RDI (was Agentschap Telecom), but it’s not particularly useful. For years, radio amateurs pointed out the sloppy, haphazard work being done, yet hardly anything was done about it. Around 2019, some attention was paid to the issue, and there was a push for stricter adherence to regulations. 1/3
