Comment on Arduino MSF receiver by Alex

Thanks for the kind words Julian, most of the code hard work was done by others but I just about managed to follow it. I understand its based on C but thats where my knowledge of it ends. I spent a bit of time working through examples of code to do basic functions like making lights blink etc up to checking web pages for certain words and displaying them as a series of LED’s. This was my first real project and all it needs now is a proper case really.

Very interesting post, Alex. I don’t know how similar Arduino code is to Parallax Spin but I’d quite like to try interfacing one of these to my Gadget Gangster. It would be no real hardship to start my WSPR beacon manually at the start of an even minute but that isn’t the point.

Many thanks for the link Heikki. SDR offers a lot of opporuntities and whilst I haven’t got my hands on a good enough receiver as yet I’m hoping to make use of a set. I’m aprticularly keen on the idea of running a set up using low powered devices like ARM processors so that a ‘one’ box receiver and signal processor unit can be made up. I’m just not clever enough to do it

Hello everyone .. I have tested Faros and Flex Radio 1500 with HDSDR software and it’s pretty close to work But I have not managed to get it work 100% CAT works ok but the audio is the main problem. It works partly, but not 100%. Here is the link if anyone wants to try this software: http://www.hdsdr.de

Comment on I still can’t use it properly by Alex

Thanks for the tip. Julian’s software has helped quite a bit and its really helpful. I do now find that I don’t type quick enough. This is something I really want to do so I will not be satisfied until I can have a sensible qso.

Try the http://www.g4ilo.com/morse-machine.html, use 25 WPM, half hour sessions once or twice a day. Don’t sent untill you can receive. I used this to get my morse back, there is a lot of rubbish morse on the air so don’t be dishartend if you can’t read it all off the air.

Comment on WOTA over Christmas by Alex

I’ll post an alert nearer the time just to make sure its practical. The weather at the moment makes me want to stay away from the fells. I took the dog for a walk up Dent at the weekend and it froze my ft817!

Sounds great, Alex. Hope the weather co-operates. Before I was married I always used to go for a hike on Christmas day to work up an appetite for the turkey and pudding.

Alex,
That would be fine. Have him email me if he would like additional reports for the central U.S.
