Camb-Hams DXexpedition to the isle of Mull IOTA EU-008 10th-16th May 2013

admin — Tue, 21 May 2013 09:56:54 +0000

This was the third trip that the Camb-hams had made to the isle of Mull their first trip was in April 26th to May 3rd 2008 when they operated from Carsaig on the south coast of the island, Returning fours year’s later Saturday 28th May – Friday 4th May 2012 to operate from Saorphin which is sheltered between Mullach Ban and loch Assapol and within a modest walking distance to the nearest village of Bunessan with its Church, School, Shop, and hotel/public house this trip also included a twenty four hour activation from The island of Lunga EU-108 and a short trip to the isle of Staffa and to the island of Iona. Having made two successful trips to Mull the Camb-hams felt there was room for one more trip to Mull this time to Grass point to take advantage of operating on the lower HF bands, including 472Khz.

South of Craignure and Duart Castle a road runs down to the old ferry terminal at Grass point by a shallow Loch Don This was the ancient pilgrims way to Iona and also the drove road when the island cattle was shipped from here to the main land. During Samuel Johnson and James Boswell Highland tour they left the isle of Mull in a boat from here on the 22^nd October 1773 for Oban Samuel Johnson wrote in his dairy From Lochbuy we rode a very few miles to the side of Mull, which faces Scotland, where, having taken leave of our kind protector Sir Allan we embarked in a boat in which the seat provided for our accommodation was a heap of rough brushwood.

Keats came this way on his walking tour of Scotland with his friend Charles Armitage Brown In June 1818. In July, while on the Isle of Mull, Keats caught a bad cold and “was too thin and fevered to proceed on the journey.

From Walking in Scotland

John Keats 1795 – 1821

Scanty the hour, and few the steps, beyond the bourn of care!

Beyond the sweet and bitter world, – beyond it unaware!

Scanty the hour, and few the steps; because a longer stay

Would bar return and make man forget his mortal way.

CQ WPX Contest SSB

admin — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:08:07 +0000

The WPX contest is based on an award offered by CQ Magazine for working all prefixes. Held on the last weekend of March 30-31, 2013 (SSB) and May May 25-26, (CW), the contest draws thousands of entries from around the world. It’s the first time that I can remember the CQ WPX contest taking place over the Easter Weekend in times pasts the working man or women would have looked forward to Christmas and Easter because traditionally in England these two church events would have meant a day’s holiday and to be honest I have never heard or read in the papers or online any one recorded as saying on their death dead “I wish I had spent more time at work” I share the radio shack with my son Peter 2E0SQL and this year Peter planned to operate from home and I figure that I might get a couple of hours in the contest during Peters rest breaks. Then the opportunity came up for him to join the M0VSQ contest group and operate from the Birdlip & Brimsfield cricket ground Birdlip is located in the Cotswolds about 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Cheltenham and 8 miles (13 km) south east of Gloucester.

A change of planned meant I was able to change my operating times I figured the best opposition for me was to try a more relaxed operating style search and pounce one hour on one hour off and see how I managed I was going to be very flexible I figured working 10 in an hour was a good level in my first hour I worked 10 on 80m between 05:15 – 06:15 during the second hour 07:03- 08:03 on 40m I worked 26

Over the weekend I found that the best band for me was 20m with 40m in second place 15m was interesting as the signals on the band all sounded watery. I kept checking 10m but the band never opened for me.

BARTG HF RTTY Contest 2013

The British Amateur Radio Teledata Group HF RTTY contest took place 0200z Saturday 16th March 2013 until 0200z Monday 18th March 2013. As conditions were poor due to an expected solar flare I figured that I might like to see who I could work in the contest from the outset I did not plan on spending a lot of time on the bands but just a taster to see who I could work on 15m and 20m before the solar storm took full effect. I was surprised at how good a shape 15m was in with plenty of activity however some stations were so badly effect by QSB that they were unworkable but I was delight to get the following in the log.

The 76th Commonwealth Contest 2013

admin — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 08:58:42 +0000

Over the weekend I took part in The commonwealth contest The Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) created the British Empire Radio Union (BERU) in the late 1920s to support radio amateurs in the Empire. In 1930 a New Zealand radio amateur suggested that a week should be set aside as an ‘Empire Radio Week’ and that this should be held in February 1931. This was the first BERU Contest. The contest proved to be very popular and has been held annually since then. It became known as the Commonwealth Contest in 1973. The 2013 contest will be the 76th.

The Commonwealth Contest is a worldwide 24-hour CW event that’s largely free of Continental European activity, because the only contacts that count are between Commonwealth countries. Every year some quite rare entities are activated by DXpeditioners and this year will be no different. A list of Commonwealth Call Areas can be found at www.rsgbcc.org/hf/information/codes.shtml. Running from 1000 on 9 March to 1000UTC on 10 March, the event uses all bands from 3.5 to 28MHz and the exchange is signal report and serial number. HQ stations also send HQ.

During the 24 hours of the contest I dipped in and out as and when I was free from other commitments it is important to me to find the right balance and to maintain it to much of one can become a problem or a hindrance. I liked operating during the commonwealth contest because it gives me the opportunity of working some DX with out having the deafening Continental Zoo.

I had been looking forward to the RSGB Centenary Special Event station being activated by Radio Amateur’s in Region2 I decide to set myself a small challenge and that was to try and make a two way radio contact with each Amateur radio society club or group as the call sign moved back and forth across various parts of Scotland:

25 Feb	GMDX Group	Invergordon	HF	SSB, CW

Out of the above list I was not able to make a two way radio contact with GMDX group when they were operating from Culbokie, Ross & Cromarty but I was delight to being able to work the rest. The Caithness ARS group said that they were operating from the Hamlet or village of Freswick however during times that I was monitoring there transmissions I soon noticed that the descriptions that they were giving of their location and the effects the weather was having on their caravan rocking back and forth and they had tied it down – did not fit the description of what you might expect if they were in Freswick. This interested me I spent some time the checking OS map of the area and looking a some Satellite images of the area I soon discovered that they were operating from the former GPS oil rig radio station site located 1.8 miles to the east of Freswick at Skirza

Kenneth Abbott G3JY of Blackpool and Jack Hamilton G5JH of Gloucester

admin — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:20:18 +0000

The first casualties amongst British radio amateurs occurred with the sinking by enemy action of HMS Courageous in September 1939 when telegraphists Kenneth Abbott G3JY of Blackpool and Jack Hamilton G5JH of Gloucester lost their lives.

HMS Courageous served with the Home Fleet at the start of World War II with 811 and 822 Squadrons aboard, each squadron equipped with a dozen Fairey Swordfish. In the early days of the war, hunter-killer groups were formed around the fleet’s aircraft carriers to find and destroy U-boats. On 31 August 1939 she went to her war station at Portland and embarked the two squadrons of Swordfish. Courageous departed Plymouth on the evening of 3 September 1939 for an anti-submarine patrol in the Western Approaches, escorted by four destroyers. On the evening of 17 September 1939, she was on one such patrol off the coast of Ireland. Two of her four escorting destroyers had been sent to help a merchant ship under attack and all her aircraft had returned from patrols. During this time, Courageous was stalked for over two hours by U-29, commanded by Captain-Lieutenant Otto Schuhart. The carrier then turned into the wind to launch her aircraft. This put the ship right across the bow of the submarine, which fired three torpedoes. Two of the torpedoes struck the ship on her port side before any aircraft took off, knocking out all electrical power, and she capsized and sank in 20 minutes with the loss of 519 of her crew, including her captain. The survivors were rescued by the Dutch ocean liner Veendam and the British freighter Collingworth. Although the two escorting destroyers counterattacked U-29 for four hours, the submarine escaped.
An earlier unsuccessful attack on Ark Royal by U-39 on 14 September, and the sinking of Courageous three days later, prompted the Royal Navy to withdraw its carriers from anti-submarine patrols. Courageous was the first British warship to be lost in the war; the civilian passenger liner SS Athenia had been sunk two weeks earlier. The commander of the German submarine force, Commodore Karl Dönitz, regarded the sinking of Courageous as “a wonderful success” and it led to widespread jubilation in the Kriegsmarine (German Navy). Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, commander of the Kriegsmarine, directed that Schuhart be awarded the Iron Cross First Class and that all other members of the crew receive the Iron Cross Second

A week of PSK31

admin — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 11:35:48 +0000

After a short gap in operating PSK31 I thought that I would give it a try over one working week as an experiment to see how I got one I did not intend to turn this into a personal contest just that whenever I went on the bands the mode of choice would be PSK31.

PSK31 or “Phase Shift Keying, 31 Baud” is a popular computer-generated radioteletype mode, used primarily by amateur radio operators to conduct real-time keyboard-to-keyboard QSO over the air. PSK31 is distinguished from other digital modes in that it is specifically tuned to have a data rate close to typing speed, and has an extremely narrow bandwidth allowing many QSO’s in the same bandwidth as a single voice channel. Like other narrow band digital modes, PSK31 can often overcome interference and poor propagation conditions in situations where voice or other data methods of communication fail.

From the following statement its easy to understand what PSK31 is and is not. I did not set out to try and work hundreds or only the choice DX but to find a spot on the band and call CQ and work whoever came back to my call working about 10 per day in the log are:
