On the Dutch teletext, even hamradio dx expedition news was announced. And the correct answers of the ham exam. But that was in the 80s.

Connected a BME280 sensor to the #Meshcore transceiver Heltec V4.
SDA goes to GPIO 17
SCL goes to GPIO 18
Vcc = 3.3v
Needs some calibration π

No FT8 those days.
The bands were filled with ssb, cw and some computer modes (rtty, amtor, pactor, ax25, sstv).
And, FM and AM on 10m on a daily base.
Almost no rain here in the Netherlands.
This pool of water should fully filled this time the year.
Indeed. This is homebuild but it is also available in commercial webshops as "qrm eliminator X-phase".
Only worth the money if you can place the phase antenna close to the source.
Local #interference makes #reception below 5 MHz impossible.
But this solution with a miniwhip #antenna and mixing this signal out of phase, the #QRM is almost gone.

In the first weeks, more than 300000 licences were sold but only 22 channels were available.
The result: very crowded channels.
Hear the mess of #channel 14.

By turning and pressing the #VFO button you can enter the #station showed on the waterfall.

With this mod, you will have a #RTTY #decoder
New is the terminal #display to have a larger read back window.

Two weeks ago, during #JOTA , someone was really impressed by the #SI4732 #mini #radio so I give my device to him.
I bought a new one (V3) and the #hardware #mod for #RTTY decoder is already made.
Playtime.

No, these were the dishes of PA3CSG.
The solid dish is now at PA3DZL and the other (8m) dish has been moved to OK1TEH.
Geert, PA3CSG, was forced to stop EME because of RFI from commercial users.

That's good news. The downside of scu-lan10 was lack of cw.
Solved here with 2x arduino (one at laptop side and other at transceiver side).
