Testing a 2-wire fan dipole on HF, doing some ALE. It’s always fascinating to see physics & information theory working per the math. Anyone else?

@adamcsmith the Wellbrook loops seem to be sold out.

@adamcsmith I've been thinking about getting one as a separate RX antenna in high noise environment. Need to accelerate that. And yes, I've noticed that if there's just one station in a region receiving my WSPR signal, it is often using a Wellbrook.

Finally learning #gnuradio. It's amazing.

@vk6flab Look at the footnotes, especially 150. Why this is not called out explicitly in the national regs is unclear (FCC does the same here -- you need an army of lawyers for this stuff).

@vk6flab That is bananas. I've been out of .au for a few years now so didn't know this. All of the VH5A* entries in ACMA are for commercial or govt users in SA. One close callsign is the Bureau of Meteorology, so I was wondering if it was them monitoring for space weather.

@vk6flab I don't see it listed in the ACMA database. Could be a made up callsign for rx only.

@vk6flab They will show up if they are just listening, which is the case here. It's valid for people with the right experimental license, and possibly at very low levels within Australian ISM rules (I'm more up to date on the US rules here and it is in the microwatt range on these frequencies).

btw, this is the best resource on #8m - https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/p/40-mhz.html

There's an io.groups list and a Facebook group ( 🤷 ), see url.

Also, a very good signal here from VA2CY up on Île d'Orléans QC, with apparent doppler shift due to the movement of Sporadic E clouds between our stations. If you look closely at the top, there's a very weak trace from another station with some aircraft scatter (no decode). I think that is WM2XCW in Point Roberts,BC near the Canada/US border. ETA: confirmed this is not doppler shift, it's transmitter drift.

I've been monitoring the 8m band recently (yes, 8m!). It's generally an ISM band with some experimental licenses issued in the US, Canada, and other countries, as well as a few amateur allocations in Europe. Some great propagation happening today between Australia/NZ and USA/Canada, on 40.68 MHz.

On a whim I tuned to the 630m band in WSPR, and was surprised to see a couple of stations. I had no idea my system could receive anything on 474 kHz. I think the signal around 1840 Hz baseband is QRSS.

The antenna is just a 100ft dipole fed with ladder line via a 4:1 balun and tuner. I believe the tuner was set for 80m.

@mairin Good luck, been through a few of these types of things.
