4 Square 80m av SM6U/Rickard Jun 30 2009, 20:04 Comments: 0 
This sunday we are going to mount our 17el 2m beam in the VHF-Tower. After that we can try to install the 4 Square for 80m in the tower. Today, a ComTek ACB-4 arrived in the mail!

The box is made in the U.S.A. and runs on +120VAC. Below the lid you will find a 2x6.3v transformer and a rectifier. That should equal about 17VDC after rectifying. The relays are driven with 12VDC, so the question is if it would be possible to run it directly on +13.8V or if the losses in 100m control cable would be too high.

Onlineloggen & Logcheck av SM6U/Rickard May 24 2009, 17:19 Comments: 0 
After some more optimizing of the ADIF Import system, we got the times down to around 30 seconds per 5000 QSO!

Apart from that, the online logbook has been refreshed. It got some new functions, and most of the texts has been translated to english (QSO logger still missing but it should be understandable).

To the right you can see two examples of how the Online LogCheck looks like. Now it has been completed with a small band/mode table for quick overview. To use the Online Logbook & LogCheck, you just have to sign up at this page, sign in and choose "Online Logbook" where more information is available.

Uppgradering av onlineloggen av SM6U/Rickard May 20 2009, 23:20 Comments: 0 
The Online Logbook has been updated. QSO-Import from ADIF files has been optimized. Earlier, 5000 QSO could take as long as one hour (!) to import. Now it's down to around five minutes, around 10 times faster than before.

Shortly, the online logger will be renewed and we'll add some instructions on how to use it as a online logcheck.
Felsökning 15m 6el av SM6U/Rickard May 10 2009, 18:36 Comments: 1 
Today, we tried to find out what was wrong with our new 6el 15m beam. We started out by extending the reflector 15cm at one end, wich was missing according to the instructions. After that we looked up the gamma match, and found out that some old rusty screws didn't allow for a proper connection. This was temporarily solved by adding another wire to transfer the current onto the driver element.

First QSO was with LU6EQT and PY1SX. Both of them complimented on our great signal, and they had some good QSB on the signals, wich should indicate that we pushed thru despite bad conditions.

Club leader gathering was held in Radiomuset on 090509. It is an attempt to bring the clubs in the western part of Sweden closer to each other and organize radioactivity around the region.

DL6 SM6VYP/Walle as representative from SSA held the meeting. Also SM6JOC/Björn made a short presentation of the coming SSA annual meeting 2010.
Antenn(de)montering av SM6U/Rickard May 03 2009, 12:44 Comments: 3 
SM6UQL/Bengt, SM6GBM/Göran, SM6YAT/Erik, SM6YOF/Jan-Inge and SM6U/Rickard changing the old five-element 15m yagi to a six-element yagi.

SM6DGF/Bosses newly built bridge was a big help during the operation, without it the job would not have been finished during the day.

Slightly high SWR was measured, but nothing that can’t be handled later.
