    I really think this is powerful. I think it needs a facelift though. Is this 64 bit and platform agnostic? AI pattern recognition would be awesome. What about integration with RMNoise? I am a Mac user, but I will implement this with a PC.

    • @davebernstein5071
      @davebernstein5071 Месяц назад

      DXLab applications are native 32 bit Windows applications; they run correctly on 64-bit Windows. You can run them on a Mac using Parallels or VMware Fusion, and on Linux using Oracle's VM VirtualBox. DXLab doesn't prevent your from using RMNoise with your transceiver. Exactly how do you suggest that it interoperate with DXLab? I've thought about pattern recognition for improved CW and RTTY decoding, given the small vocabulary used in most QSOs; did you have other applications of pattern recognition in mind? Frankly, if a "facelift" is your primary concern, DXLab is not for you. There are plenty of amateur radio applications that prioritize "flashy user interface to impress shack visitors" over useful functionality. Time spent on making DXLab prettier would be time not spent on the many enhancements that would further improve support for finding and working the DX you need. I'm happy to continue this discussion on the DXLab Discussion Group, the DXLab Facebook Forum, or via email; your call.

    I think POTA is one of the best things going on in ham radio right now! It's a great way to get people interested in the hobby and on the air. When I first upgraded to general there was so much about the hobby to digest, but getting into POTA gave me one specific activity I could focus on, and because it happens everyday and uses a structured QSO, it really helped me get over mic fright. When I talk to folks about ham radio, it's the main thing I bring up because it's easy for people to understand, and the barrier to entry is much lower then some other activities. You can do it as a technician on 10M, and for less than $1,000 you can have a very capable setup that you can take anywhere.

Regarding the 600-ohm open wire ladder line, I can relate to Mike's experience. It has made a significant impact on my ability to make contacts. I can now hear more stations and receive replies from many more stations. - DE KC5CYY

    I got my Technician's license at 16, back in the 1970s after completing a Gordon West class that he personally taught in Newport Beach, Calif. I never did get on the air beyond just being a Read-Only Ham, that is, listening but never had the wherewithal to get my transmitter set up. My license eventually expired, and I moved on to tending to a career and family, keeping electronics as a hobby and held on to my old Galaxy V transceiver and a couple miscellaneous HF receivers. Now at the age of 60, career slowing down and the kids off to college, the Amateur Radio bug has begun to stir and nibble at my toes. I've been looking through my old ARRL Handbooks at the "antenna" sections and am polishing--or should I say rust removing--my understanding of antennas with the idea of setting up a station, at least for listening. I've settled on the idea of starting with a simple 20/40m fan dipole, so I can start listening again, and start studying up for the General License exam. This discussion cleared a lot of questions up for me, and further sparked my interest. Thank you fellows. I hope to join the ranks of aspiring new Hams sometime here in the not too distant future!
