Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 on 160m with Beverage antenna

Most "receiving" antennas for 160m including Beverages actually result in less signal at the receiver compared to "transmitting" antennas, however recieving antennas have _much_ lower noise.As you alluded to the name of the game for receiving is to improve the signal to noise ratio, so a

May want to browse the W8JI website for a lot of interesting information on all phases of ham radio. Here's a link to the Beverage antenna section: https://www.w8ji.com/beverages.htm Have a look at his antenna comparison spreadsheet to get an idea of performance of various receive antennas.

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 on 160m with Beverage antenna

Hi Glenn, I've only been using Beverages on 160m for 40 years, so this is a somewhat partial and subjective view, but they certainly increase the S/N ratio considerably for human ear reception of extremely weak signals *when terminated correctly*.  Usual gain is around -20 dBi, but irrelevant

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 on 160m with Beverage antenna

When they built and installed the beverages they noticed they had just as much noise as the other antennas if not more. I modeled the Beverage and discovered it was a very high loss antenna. The soil was the lossy element and if you tried to reduce the loss by tuning the termination and matching

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 on 160m with Beverage antenna

Glenn A beverage antenna will often produce weaker signals than, say, an inverted L. However, it will decrease the noise on the signal, and make it easier to copy, which should make it easier to decode. Dennis W1UE On Mon, Nov 13, 2023 at 4:29 PM Glenn Williams via wsjt-devel <

[wsjt-devel] FT8 on 160m with Beverage antenna

This is a theory question. There is a bit of FT8 on 160m. Does use of a Beverage Antenna to get more signal raise the S/N value? Would that antenna help with receiving weaker signals (a variation of that S/N question)? --73, Glenn, AF8C -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 Fox and Hound Mode - FOX Mode Operator

Hi Grant, I assume that the timestamps in the ALL.TXT are taken from the slot time counter at the moment, when software has performed its reception decoding. If the decoding happens to take place after the start of the next transmission, then the time indicated is wrong. That may or may not

Steve, Sorry that is my mistake. It was an incorrect memory based on when I was reviewing the ALL.TXT file trying to find broken log records when we got home after A35JT. (I had discovered that ALL.TXT didnt store the TX strings from the FOX transmissions - instead it only stored one string and

Hi! Let wsjtx dev team focus on hard stuff, and use support programs for the rest. While proposed tail -f can do the job, I think it is relatively easy to hack small program that reads last lines in ALL.TXT every 15 seconds and make small screen supporting Fox operation. Is frequency clean?

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 Fox and Hound Mode - FOX Mode Operator enhancement request

A couple recent comments on Fox/Hound mode have me perplexed. Aren’t major efforts (those we expect to use F/H) frequencies pre-coordinated and published in advance of the trip? Do holiday-style trips really need F/H? Major dxpeditions should never operate in the standard watering holes,

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 Fox and Hound Mode - FOX Mode Operator enhancement request

Please forgive what may be ridiculous questions. Some are for foxes, others for hounds. Fox/Hound operation should only be carried out away from the main “watering holes,” right? For expeditions, isn’t it standard practice to coordinate with other expeditions before leaving home to ensure

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 Fox and Hound Mode - FOX Mode Operator enhancement request

I don't use Fox/Hound, of course, but it seems to me that VK5GR's request when using it is legitimate.  I wouldn't have said anything at all if it weren't for the dev reply that cited a lack of screen real estate as the reason for not addressing it. It's not bitching to point out the

Ya know if you so much want this why not open your computer and reprogram the interface yourself? What's it take 30 seconds to open settings or change a config? Is the DX going to disappear in that time? I guess everyone forgot about when the NA contest mode had a check box on the GUI. So many

If anyone was seriously concerned about real estate usage in the WSJT-X user window there wouldn't be all that wasted space in the lower left corner for any of the modes.  The Frequency display doesn't need to be anywhere near that large, DX Call and DX Grid is mostly superfluous, the size
