    horizontaly mounted imax 2000

    ive now worked with this antenna in the 45 degrees angle in my loft............10m low loss 50ohm coax............furthest contact was 150 miles (approx.), groundwave ssb.................reports were 4/4................switched to dipole and the contact was completley lost..........switched to...

    psk31

    psk................phase shift keying..........this mode is very narrow in bandwidth therfor you can have many stations operating on one channel or frequencey, FM and AM take up much more bandwidth but it still works the same..........A station transmitting psk will just sound like high pitched...

    psk31

    thank you "AS"..........ok my main transceiver is a yaesu ft757, this seems to be very stable for psk31 as my second rig, a ft707 does not seem to be as stable for psk31 use.........i can also use any other radio for psk31 use, i have many uk40fm sets and numerous export rigs, ie: cobra148gtldx...

    psk31

    interesting comments.............over here in the uk the cb frequencey's are known as "muppett" (uk 40) and mid block (cept)...........the 11m band is the frequencies ascociated with 27.555, over there i think you call it freebanding. digi-modes psk31 etc is used on 27.500 but very little at...

    psk31

    i notice there is no forum on here for 11m use so il post my comment here..............basically due to the fact that propagation is low on our band, why dont we try and use digi-modes a lot more as this mode is good for working under poor conditions............................i also think there...
