7P8EME DXpedition
06-09-2011
Soumis par: ON4AVJ
A lot of planning, accumulation of equipment and antenna development and cost has gone into the project over the last number of years. The total antenna systems has been re-developed and re-built by Pine, ZS6OB, since the last expedition to Namibia - that expedition was voted the 3rd best expedition world wide out of 69 expeditions for that year - no mean feat for a small group of ZS Radio Amateurs.
This will be a record setting International DXpedition for EME, as far as infrastructure, equipment, band coverage and antenna systems are concerned, which has ever visited another country - all with mobile equipment. The group will be covering all the VHF/UHF frequencies from 50 to 1 296 MHz [excluding 4 metres] on EME.
The venue will be at Ramabanta Trading Post. The Grid locator is KG30vi. The team will operate under the call sign 7P8EME.
There will also be limited HF mostly CW and 144 and 50 MHz - tropo and Meteor scatter operation to provide participation for local operators with smaller VHF and UHF stations.
The dates of the DXpedition are 14 to 26 September 2011. And the team is Pine, ZS6OB, (7P8EME); Wynand, ZS6ARF, (7P8QRO); Dick, ZS6BUN, (7P8BUN); Pieter, ZS6PA, (7P8PA); Dan, HB9CRQ, (7P8RQ) and Hermann, DL2NUD, (7P8HP).
Erika Pienaar and Lana Coats will be looking after the kitchen and feeding the team.To support this DXpedition the South African Radio League has launched a fundraising initiative. You can assist by making a financial contribution.

Tijdens het weekend van 10 & 11 september 2011 gaat de viering door van “150 jaar Spoorwegen tussen de steden Ronse en Oudenaarde”.
De “vzw Toerisme en Spoor Patrimonium / Patrimoine Ferroviaire et Tourisme asbl” rijdt zowel op zaterdag als op zondag telkens vier pendelritten tussen Ronse en Oudenaarde met een unieke historische reizigerstrein samengesteld “K-rijtuigen 1ste klasse”, waarvan de tractie verzorgd wordt door hun stoomlocomotief “Type 64.169” (een “Pruisische P8” of de latere “Duitse BR38” uit het bouwjaar 1923, concept 1907 – zie foto hierbij).
Ter gelegenheid van deze feestelijke viering activeert de sectie RSX uit Ronse een uitgebreid radioamateurstation van op de stationssite. Het clubstation ON4RSX zal op beide dagen tussen 9u30’ en 18u30’ onafgebroken in de lucht zijn op decameter en VHF, zowel in CW alsook in SSB, FM en Digi-modes. Voor de geïnteresseerden in het “Belgian Railway Station Award” wordt het station van Ronse geactiveerd onder het referentienummer “FRN-86”. Een unieke gelegenheid om ook het station van Ronse aan uw logboek toe te voegen, wat u zo mogelijk terug wat dichter bij uw Award brengt…
De activatie van de stationssite van Ronse door het clubstation ON4RSX werd mede mogelijk gemaakt dankzij de bereidwillige medewerking van dhr. Geert Dierickx, Woordvoerder, Districtsdirecteur NMBS-Holding NW-Communicatie.

D-STAR avec TRX analogue devient possible
08-06-2011
Soumis par: ON4AVJ
A TRADUIRE
Xavier Werner ON5XAW, maakt deel uit van de ploeg die de OUFTI-1 satelliet ontwierp.Momenteel werkt aan zijn jongste eindwerk: een D-Star modem.
Hierdoor kunnen de gewone analoge TRX ook in D-Star gaan werken. Goed nieuws want de bouwkit die DARC op de markt bracht is niet meer verkrijgbaar.
Op 24 juni zal hij zijn werk voorstellen in Gembloers.
Achteraf zal de projectleider van OUFTI-1 Jonathan ON7JPD een rondvraag doen. Hij wil te weten komen van de D-Star gebruikers of er ideeën zijn om aan verder te werken in het volgend studiejaar.
Dat kunnen aanpassingen, verbeteringen, een andere manier om D-Star in zetten. Je stoutste D-Star dromen mogen aan bod komen. Wij stappen en alleszins naar toe en komen terug met een verslag.
