Satellite..

Satelittene VO-52 og FO-29 er rimelig lettkjørte på CW (SSB)

Har fått HRD opp å kjøre med rigstyring, slik at jeg nå har kontroll på UP/DWN link QRG.

Regn idag - så det ble ikke tur på taket for å bytte kabel. Men, det kommer.

Westflex..

Nødvendig verktøy for å montere Crimp N-kontakt på Westflex W-103. Stiv kabel, med sine 0.72 dB tap på 10 meter(432MHz) så blir det nok bra...
Senter må files ned for å få den inn i vanlig sølvplugg..

Loss Per 100 meters:

RG213/URM67(Mil spec)	Westflex 103
100 MHz 7 dB	3.2 dB
144 MHz 8.5 dB	4.5 dB
200 MHz 10 dB	5.4 dB
300 MHz 13 dB	6.2 dB
432 MHz 15 dB	7.5 dB
1000 MHz 27 dB	13.0 dB
2450 MHz use Westflex 103	19.1dB
3000 MHz use Westflex 103	27.8 dB
5000 MHz use Westflex 103	34.1 dB

HAM Meeting

Bra foredrag idag..

TAPR prosjekt med LA2NI..



APRS karttjeneste med LA7ECA



Praktisk satelittkjøring med LA4FPA



Utstyrshall...
Det ble litt plugger, presstang for 213, westflex W-103 kabel og ny W3DZZ antenne..
Bør være 100% QRV på satelitt mode iløpet av dagen..
TS-2000 trenger muligens 1.2GHz modul. Må inn i budsjettet...

QRV på D-Star

Steinar har vært så vennlig å sendt meg en DV-Dongle i posten.

Arti å prøve ut.

Mange av tettstedene i nord er nå D-star ready.

Veldig bra!

A-index og K-index

A Index and K Index

The Earth's magnetic field is continuously monitored by a network of magnetometers. These readings are converted into the A and K index values.

The K index is computed once every three hours (eight times a day) and the values can range from 0 to 9, with 0 being inactive, and 9 representing an extreme severe storm condition. The values are quadi-logarithmic.

• K = 0 Inactive
• K = 1 Very quiet
• K = 2 Quiet
• K = 3 Unsettled
• K = 4 Active
• K = 5 Minor storm
• K = 6 Major storm
• K = 7 Severe storm
• K = 8 Very severe storm
• K = 9 Extremely severe storm

The A index is linear, and is computed from the eight previous K index values. It ranges from 0 (quiet) to 400 (severe storm).

• A = 0 - 7 Quiet
• A = 8 - 15 Unsettled
• A = 16 - 29 Active
• A = 30 - 49 Minor storm
• A = 50 - 99 Major storm
• A = 100 - 400 Severe storm

Generally, propagation conditions are best when the A index is 15 or lower, and the K index is 3 or lower.
