47GHz Snow Scatter 149km - VA3ELE FN03VW to VE3KH FN03CG
Просмотров 132День назад
It wasn't a rainy day... it was windy and cold AF lol But, it was good enough for a new personal best of 149km on 47GHz Snow Scatter. 24GHz was 59 and absolutely nothing heard on 78GHz. 12/12/2024 @ 0030UTC I forgot to note the actual temperature, but wind gusts were reaching 65km/h as you can see the waves in the video.

Finally!!! Successfully completed our first 78GHz Rain Scatter QSO with Kevin VE3KH. 07/09/2024 @ 1513UTC Not far, only 36km direct path, but now we know it works. It was pretty windy and it made it quite difficult to keep tracking of the rain as it moved across the path. It took quite a few tries to get a complete QSO because of the fast moving cells and we even had to take a good 30minute or ...

    Very cool! Hey my radio club out of NW Ohio is starting to get on 1.2ghz. I know that is more entry level, but we are looking to expand into the higher microwave bands. For the area do you have any recommendations for what would be the next band to try to get on? We are in the planning phase pretty much so looking for what would be worth our effort.

    • @va3elepeter
      @va3elepeter 15 дней назад

      @k8ktoamateurradio671 great to hear from you. I love 1296 as well, but because of my situation I'm limited to operating portable as of late. If you're looking at activity level during VHF contests, definately there's a huge group of 10GHz ops out there and each QSO is worth 8 points in January and 4 points in June and September VHF. You can also get in on the action during the 222 and up as well as the 10GHz and up contests in August and September. To me, that's money well spent. If you're still looking to add bands, get 902 then 2304MHz. Lastly, 3400 and 5760. It's unfortunate those bands get the least amount of attention, they are still a lot of fun and every band offers its own challenge

    • @va3elepeter
      @va3elepeter Месяц назад

      @radiok2ua really it was weird. In the beginning, just shortly after 8am, Tony was actually strongest even though humidity was quite high, over 80% and it had the cleanest cw tone way up around 30dB over s9. His signal.peaked +1 degree . Later we tried again to peak signals to work 47GHz, his signal was wide on 24 and it actually peaked -0.4degrees. I suspect that was due to the frost burning off and creating a duck low to the ground. Pointing up really nearly killed the signal

      @@radiok2ua it was a tiny shift though, and very long-lasting. Has to be a very small path length rate of change. 1 metre per second is around 250 Hz shift at that freq, so a drifting vessel on water or slow- moving ducting might be involved, but was it only one-way? Maybe an artefact in that case. Fascinating stuff. I really must get on the band and try it out. Great work folks.
