Braved the storm this afternoon to do some 24GHz (12.5mm wavelength) #MicrowaveRadio #AmateurRadio.
One contact made with Pete G1DFL over a 24KM path on #SSB and #DStar. 59+20dB both ways.
#Icom #IC705 IF and #Wavelab based transverter & 1.5w PA into a 30cm Andrew dish.
1.5w x 34.4dBi = 4131w ERP!
For all the Dstar Sysops out there: https://www.f4fxl.org/introducing-dstargateway/ #dstar #hamradio #digital
Do you think we've had enough closed, irreproducible, proprietary digital modes contaminating the #hamradio hobby (#ROS, #VARA, #DMR, #YSF, #DSTAR, etc.)? Well, now we've got #LORA for #APRS.
No: ham radio should be based on open, free standards. There are plenty of free, open, well documented digital modes (#FT8, #JS9, #WSPR, #M17, #PSK, #Olivia, #RTTY) in addition to the oldest-ever digital mode (#CW). Please support ways of operation everyone can inspect, modify, or build a radio around.
