Re: Airband Listening
Hi, just a technical note, all the DSP portable radios use an external circuit to receive the air band, it is not received directly from the DSP IC (usually Si4735 in our radios)

Here in Australia we are still 25kHz, I believe that Europe is 8.33kHz spacing.--

The past TP DX season.
Today I came across a recording of a TP DX 10-17-19. My log book show it was an unidentified signal on 702 kHz. Before deleting it I decided to give a listen. It turned out there was enough

IIRC it has already happened. There was talk of changing from 25 to 12.5 to double the number of channels but instead they went straight to 8.33kHz effectively tripling the number. The change

Re: Airband Listening
Great writeup. The C. Crane Skywave SSB can actually "scan" up to 10 airband frequencies in a single bank. After programming them into the bank you press both the up and down slewing buttons

As some ultralight radios also cover the VHF Airband, I have published a guide on this.

Re: Saying Hello
I agree with you, Andy. This gentleman (?) has just been given the permanent boot.
The kicker was that he didn't want any email delivered from the group, which makes it pretty obvious that he doesn't
