    Website navigation

    Posted: 06 Jun 2021 12:46 PM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/06/website-navigation.html


    There has been some confusion over how to navigate to the various pages on
    my new website at www.g3xbm.co.uk .
    For the avoidance of doubt, click the arrow next to the sub-menu not the
    words. There may be a way of making the sub-title clickable, but I don't
    know how at the moment, HI.
    As an example, if you want to look at one of the pages on "antennas" click
    the arrow next to "antennas" first, then select the one you want
    e.g. "ferrite rod TX antennas".
    I have made this a little clearer on the "home" page. If anything else is
    not clear or wrong, let me know.

    6m FT8 RX with the V2000 omni antenna

    Posted: 06 Jun 2021 02:43 PM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/06/6m-ft8-rx.html


    On TX, my V2000 omni has a very high SWR, so I am RX only. After a very
    brief check on 10m FT8 RX I am on 6m FT8 RX with 31 stations spotted at
    1124z, with the furthermost A45XR (5843km) in Oman. Well, this omni antenna still works fine on RX.
    UPDATE 1450z: 112 stations spotted on 6m FT8 RX today.
    UPDATE 1635z: 257 stations spotted. When 6m is good it can produce some
    quite good DX via the E layer. Furthermost is YS1AG (8777km) in El
    Salvador, central America. See map. (See comment below - this could well be
    a pirate!) .
    UPDATE 2144z: 658 stations in 4 continents spotted today on 6m FT8 RX.
    Nothing yet from South America. It is probably worth leaving the setup
    running overnight in case North or South America comes through. This
    already a great day on 6m with an omni antenna that is not working properly.
