It bugged me for a while that my blog looked crap on my iPhone. Way too big, you always had to zoom in to be able to read the articles. “Had” because I found a simple solution. Running my blog on WordPress I’ve downloaded WordPress Mobile Pack and the mobile theme from Carrington Mobile 1.1 [...]
As I wrote before: I’ve managed to store my HRD-logbook on a online MySQL database. My plan is to show my logbook live at the logbook-url of this very site. I’ve wrote a little PHP to be able to do this. So from now on you can take a look at my logbook live! Any [...]
Reading this article of KB3LMC got my mind spinning. I hate the fact that HRD puts it database on my local computer. I switch computers a lot and it would be great if I could use some sort of central database for all my HRD instances. Second thing is: I really would love to be [...]
With the PACC 2010 coming up, I’m getting all jumpy to get my “ultimate contest setup” complete. My plans are to participate in the PACC this year from our club location NERA. Last year I’ve take a look and made a few QSO’s from that location and it is fantastic to operate from there. Far [...]
Last weekend I offered a friend of mine, Fred PA3YH, some help with his shack setup. He owns a Icom IC-756PRO-3 radio. Since a few months he bought a Signalink USB and works all different digital modes with it. Actually this combination works really well! He is doing great in QSO’s! The only thing missing [...]
As I am a Mac user for many years now, The Unofficial Apple Website is one of my favorite blogs to read almost every day. The other day I read in this blog about 5 Mac applications for ham radio fans. Cool! Two hobbies in one article…
After being stuck a few days ago with the self compiled wspr.py I was searching the web today to find a breakthrough. I could hit myself for the head when I did see a link to one of my favorite blogs: VK2TPM where I found out that WSJT is just a package in Debian Of [...]
Not yet where I want to be, but did some work to get things working. I’ve installed the Gnome desktop on my Debian Etch linux server so I can compile WSPR for linux. First I had to struggle with all kinds of packages and then I had to check out an svn for the source [...]
In the series ‘what is WSPR?’ I did some reading last night. If I understand it correctly WSPR is a little computer program made by K1JT that is used to detect propagation on the amateur bands. It is using a very weak digital signal which is produced by your sound card in your computer and [...]
I read more and more lately about WSPR. For instance, this morning I did see this article from VK2PTM. I getting more curious what this WSPR is and how it’s working. And you radio amateurs out there know what we guys and gals do about curiosity…. we will disappear into our Research & Development department [...]
