Jan. 11, 2019, 1:54 p.m. When you receive an FT8 signal, the software shows the signal strength in dB. I think the minimum required signal is -24 dB. It also shows how many seconds +/- the sender is off from your computer's clock. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 11, 2019, 1:53 p.m. Jim, try testing the FT8 software on an HF frequency like 7.074, 3.574, or 14.074 where you'll hear a lot more activity than on 6 meters. Once you do that, and you know you're decoding FT8, then change the frequency to 50.313 for monitoring. FT8 is all in upper side band mode, no matter what the band. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 11, 2019, 1:51 p.m. There are a few things you need to know if you're running the software. You HAVE to have your computer's clock set to the exact time within about a second or else the whole timing can be off. The hams send in 15 second intervals and alternate back and forth within that timeframe. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 11, 2019, 1:49 p.m. Jim, if you're receiving an FT8 signal, the only information that hams exchange is their callsign, grid locator, signal report, and an RR73 acknowledgment of receipt. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Jan. 9, 2019, 9:03 p.m. Yep, for that SDR, you want USB for the 6 meter band de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 9, 2019, 9:03 p.m. If you don't have the FT8 software to decode what you're hearing on 50.313, then it really doesn't make much difference if it's AM or USB or whatever. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 9, 2019, 9:02 p.m. SDR# 1.0.0 1700 is the program & build. Selections on Radio are NFM, AM, LSB, USB, WFM, DSB, CW, RAW and then number settings below those checkbox choices. de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 9, 2019, 9:01 p.m. upper side band = USB de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 9, 2019, 8:59 p.m. There has to be a button on SDR#, or whatever you are using, to select US /LSB/AM/FM or whatever. de Mike CT FN31
Jan. 9, 2019, 8:58 p.m. Is that the USB selection? When I click on it, the audio goes silent. de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 9, 2019, 8:57 p.m. Well, if it's an SDR and you're tuned to the proper frequency, you'll see the signal on the waterfall if there is one. Upper side band is very narrow. It's basically like half of the width of amplitude modulation but modulating the upper half of the frequency. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 9, 2019, 8:55 p.m. So I'm tuned to 50.313, not sure what you mean by upper side band. Not a ham and new to this Airspy HF+ tuner de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 9, 2019, 8:50 p.m. Also, if you hear tones on 50.313 upper side band, that's a good indication too. That's the FT8 frequency, and it's far more active. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 9, 2019, 8:48 p.m. Hi Jim, yes I'm a licensed ham!! I'm not near the radio at this time. Turn your radio on upper side band for listening to 50.125. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Jan. 9, 2019, 7:28 p.m. Hi Jim, I've had my Doylestown remote autologger for 2.5 years now, and I haven't had much issue before. It just so happened that the tropo a few days ago was interfering with a particular local he was trying to watch. He eventually turned the rotor back on for me... the next day after tropo was gone. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Jan. 9, 2019, 6:55 p.m. My Doylestown autologger is located at my brother's house. He gets almost strong enough signals to where he can practically aim in any direction and receive locals. But when he wants to watch TV during tropo, and I have the ability to rotate, he can get mad. Last time he saw I was rotating during tropo while he was watching WEWS, and WPSU I think was interfering, so he shut the rotor down so I couldn't rotate my remote setup. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Jan. 4, 2019, 8:45 p.m. Yeah, Christopher Dunne, I know exactly what you mean. I did the same when my brother bought his house, and I set up an autologger there. Some people live in nice areas for DX and prefer to use their "pretty" HOA-approved antennas that won't offend anyone, if they should in fact actually have to see the antenna. Christopher, you have a good setup. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Jan. 4, 2019, 8:22 p.m. Jim, that antenna is an under-performer. But if you're only concerned about receiving locals, then it may (perahps maybe not) get the job done. Tropo... kinda iffy, but who knows, Florida can get some really intense Gulf tropo decodeable with a paper clip. Why not desire the best if you're gonna DX? de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Jan. 4, 2019, 1:57 a.m. Jim-T, if you are worried about IBOC noise on strong ajacent stations on either side of the weakest stations in the middle or on either side, the AirSpy HF + will cut thru the IBOC noise like butter. you will hear the weakest stations come out of the noise floor de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40
Jan. 4, 2019, 1:50 a.m. Jim-T, I think the reason they left out 6m & TV-2 is if they added support for those bands it would weaken the strong sensitivity and selectively of the bands that it can do de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40

Jan. 4, 2019, 1:33 a.m. [21:13] Jim-T I find it is best to set the fitters on the Airspy HF+ in SDR# software at 192.000 KHz on the top left of screen and 140.000 KHz on the lower left of screen on the FM Band. doing that will pull the weakest stations out of the static noise floor to be heard and IDed.

Jan. 3, 2019, 4:55 p.m. WVPX is currently manageable. It puts about 50 kW in my direction, and I apply about 15 to 20 dB attenuation to that specific channel before my preamp (custom filter). But with the move to a new tower, they'll put about 10 times that power in my direction, and I may not be able to notch it out. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Jan. 2, 2019, 8:29 p.m. I've seen the WTSP-DRT on DT 4 with a yellow signal bar all the time, but I'm not sure if it's possible to decode here. I get a lot of noise on low-VHF TV that destroys DTV. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 2, 2019, 8:25 p.m. Thanks Jim, and of course. I knew it was too good to be true... a 3 kW low-VHF in Florida?? It would be nice if Florida had a little more Es targets on DTV considering I hear Florida on FM all the time. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Jan. 2, 2019, 8:21 p.m. I remember WKYC 2, but never logged it. With so many analog 2s, I found it very difficult to decode DTV, especially with the early tuners. Now better tuners & less QRM/CCI on low-VHF. de indysteve IN EM69
Jan. 2, 2019, 8:14 p.m. Steve, my market had a DTV 2 pre-transition... WKYC de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 2, 2019, 8:10 p.m. [20:03] WTWC 2 was 9.2 kW @ 1912 ft. de indysteve IN EM69
Jan. 2, 2019, 8:03 p.m. A lot of people on the other forums I used to post on would ask for antenna advice, but they'd never take it. They'd end up with the China-Mart plastic antennas, then I'd have to hear them complain. So I stopped giving advice. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 2, 2019, 8:03 p.m. [18:59] In the early days of DTV, WTWC virtual 40, Tallahassee, was temp. on RF 2. I logged it in Indy 5-28-06 thru lots of analog QRM on LG STB, better tuner than early Hauppauge & RCA DTC-100, my first two tuners 2001. de indysteve IN EM69
Jan. 2, 2019, 8:02 p.m. I know some of these autologgers are using inferior antennas... like cheap indoor models. But since they are in good locations, they do get some stuff on rare occasion, like the Stow OH autologger. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 2, 2019, 7:59 p.m. I had high hopes for the Brunswick, OH autologger that went online late last year, but that turned out to be a dud. And Brunswick is a good location too... I don't know what went wrong. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 2, 2019, 7:58 p.m. Maybe the Florida autologger is using one of these, lol... http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00peiTSDNWLwoq/TV-Antenna-JL-950X-.jpg de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 2, 2019, 7:56 p.m. [19:34] I think you might be right about antenna. Best so far is WUFT 36, Gainesville, FL 124 miles. I'll be in Bradenton, not too far from Medula, Jan. 11-18, but flying so no good equip. w/me. de indysteve IN EM69

Jan. 2, 2019, 6:59 p.m. At least Florida has a low-VHF now that can be a somewhat easy target. The DT 5 in Jupiter is 3,000 watts, unlike the flea-powered WTSP translator weaker than my light bulbs. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 2, 2019, 6:58 p.m. Jim, with the repacking, you should have 200 by the end of the year. I had 62 new DTV logs last year. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Jan. 2, 2019, 6:25 p.m. WDBD 14/40 Jackson MS put me at #192 in logbook. Maybe 200 by end of year? de Jim-T MO EM37
