SSTV on 40 Meters is LSB.

The thing is that that especially the 20m band is very crowded. So calling on phone and going QSY is the thing to do. But people rarely do that and thus it often becomes a mess in EU were many stations double eachother in SSTV. Because many stations fall within ones skip and are thus not heard. When you call in phone while for instance a countryman is already calling CQ, this does not dramatically interfer with that other station's CQ in SSTV. And his picture/call will still be readable. But when for instance two Italians start calling CQ in SSTV together it arrives as spaghetti in the Netherlands... ;-)
Re: [digitalradio] Re: SSTV
Most QRM in SStv or Digital SSTV is caused by contesters.. Most of whom are running splits and not listening to both freqs..The other is tuner-up-ers who do not know what a SSTV or Digital SSTV signal sounds like, so they just thing they are tuning up on a bunch of noise... The third is just plain QRM'ers who do it for lack of brains..

Re: [digitalradio] Re: SSTV
I feel the reason that the digital voice group on 14,236 has so much QRM is because most don't know what DV signal sounds like. I must agree with you about 7.173. But unlike DV signal you would think that they would know there was something on the frequency with the SSTV signal.

[digitalradio] There is a new sheriff in town.
There is a new sheriff in town. The FCC has appointed Laura Smith to take Riley Hollingsworth's former position in enforcement. The FCC's Special Counsel for Amateur Radio slot has gone unfilled for 6 months thus she has a backlog of work ahead of her. Fortunately she is up to the task. Laura is a seasoned FCC veteran with a broad communications background at both the FCC and in the private sector. The FCC has been slow to fill the position and for a while we wondered if Riley's successor would ever be named. It looks like they were waiting for the right person. Now that Laura is on the job, let's give her our full support. If you have an enforcement issue, she may be reached by e-mail at: laura.sm...@fcc.gov Amateur radio has always been somewhat self policed but when peer pressure is not enough to maintain civility, then a stronger hand is needed. The FCC has the muscle to demand compliance of the few wayward operators. We can help also. Our bands are not perfect, newer licensee's need guidance on how to properly share the many bands, frequencies and modes of operation that we radio amateurs are privileged to use. Reach out and guide (elmer) someone so that they do not become an enforcement issue. That is part of elmering also; it is not just about technical items. I know that some of you are wondering, Is Laura a ham? No, not yet, but she does have the study guides. If you attend the Dayton Hamvention 2009 - May 15-17, you will have a chance to visit with her. We welcome Laura to this position and wish her success. 73, Terry Graves, K7FE Editor QRZ.COM James KB7TBT www.kb7tbt.com www.ne4ga.org www.myspace.com/kb7tbt

[digitalradio] 500 KHz WSPR center of activity from the uk 502.4 KHz dial usb
As a means to enable the casual and ardent WSPR user to establish a transmitting or monitoring station covering the uk 500 band a generalised frequency has been adopted, being defined as dial frequency and ERP power. The dial frequency follows normal WSPR practice, where as the power reported in ERP may differ from the norm. The efficiency of low band antennas falls well short of 'hf' systems , reporting a power to the Ae of say 100 watts for a erp of 100 mW would not convey too much to the observer, ERP should give a better reporting structure.

[digitalradio] Re: 500 KHz WSPR center of activity from the uk 502.4 KHz dial usb
Thanks Steinar, Well we had a 100% increase in wspr activity in ther UK on 500khz , jumped from 2 stations to 4 ! and may be more to follow as finally the 'linear' concept has taken hold. The frequeny I used 503 was well inside the band , but some moved up , into the sideband noise from the lw station on 252 Khz - gives a 504 carrier with am sidebands , 20 db over the noise at my qth. I was seeing false decodes at times. There is a dead zone close in to 504 , so we'v moved close in with 503.9 as the carrier center,looks to be ok. I can see LA9BEA is uploading to the wspr database http://wsprnet.org/meptspots.php? mode=htmlband=2190limit=100findcall=g0nbdfindreporter=sort=date Tnx- Graham .. --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Steinar Aanesland saa...@... wrote: Hi Graham This is what I am receiving here in Norway on 502.4 KHz this evening. 212600 5 -26 0.7 -30 0 G4JNT IO90 23 213000 12 -15 1.2-1 0 M0BMU IO91 30 213000 6 -23 0.466 0 213200 4 -20 0.666 0 213400 5 -25 0.6 -30 0 G4JNT IO90 23 213600 2 -20 0.666 0 213800 1 -28 0.7 -30 0 213800 9 -21 1.4-1 0 M0BMU IO91 30 213800 4 -22 0.566 0 214600 12 -15 1.2-1 0 M0BMU IO91 30 214800 2 -23 0.366 0 My antenna is 7 m long vertical fishing rod, loaded with a 9:1 unun, about 6m above the ground.
