Why is it?

FenDrifter
Another beginners question please. Why is it that mainly, in my very limited experience, that received side band transmissions are only heard one way? I got a bit of a shock this afternoon when I heard both sides of a chat while tuned to 7150 kHz sideband, identified as an Englishman called Geoff up in the Orkneys. Drifter |

It depends on where you are located compared to the two stations.

The same would be true of other ham transmission modes. It is also true in the area of maritime coastal weather stations and their communications with vessels. Another reason could be greater power and/or more effective antenna for one party to the conversation
and the other.

- One station might be closer than the other? - Band conditions could be different at the two locations - Power? One HAM might be uisng 100 watts. The other might be using 5watts or 500watts Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

Echo what Issac said.
For instance, I am right now working digital modes on 12m. There are areas I cannot hear right now because propagation doesn’t favor it. If you were observing you may be able to see me, the station I am calling or both, depending on how the propagation is
working for
You.
This happens even more pronounced as you rise in frequency on the HF band and even into 6m. There will be many times I can see hams working into China, South Korea, India and other parts of Asia but I can only see the US ham working them. Propagation path
exists for them into Asia but not for me.

Well many thanks to all, this is proof of how helpful this group is to a beginner! A lot of this seems obvious when you’re told it, but that’s true of a lot of things. I suppose in my case I just didn’t give it enough thought. Having said that, there’s stuff above I certainly wouldn’t have worked out!
Once again, thanks to all Drifter p.s. My new PL-368 just came through the door, watch for update! |
