A 200 kHz bandwidth digital transmission system for image transfer in the Amateur Service is under development, specifically targeting VHF allocations. John B. Stephensen, KD6OZH, leads this project under an FCC Special Temporary Authority (STA) valid until September 10, 2006, authorizing emissions up to 200 kHz bandwidth in the 50.3-50.8 MHz segment. Current regulations typically limit bandwidths to 20 kHz on VHF amateur bands, making this STA crucial for testing wideband digital modes. The modem, a modified **OFDM** (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed) unit, was initially tested on the 70-cm band. It splits a high-rate data stream into multiple low-rate subcarriers to mitigate multipath echoes. The system uses a DCP-1 card with a Xilinx XC3S400 FPGA and Oki Semiconductor ML67Q5003 microcontroller. The transmitter, located at 36d 46m 30s N, 119d 46m 22s W, generates 150 WPEP into an 8 dBi gain vertical antenna, while the mobile receiver uses a Ham-stick. Three data formats for 50, 100, and 200 kHz channels are being tested, with encoded data rates of 96, 192, and 384 kbps. Verilog code for the VHF OFDM modem is 95% simulated, with modifications from the UHF version including increased filter coefficient precision and a change from Ungerboeck **TCM** to BICM for improved performance over fading paths. Final tests will involve one-way over-the-air measurements of bit error rates and coverage area.

Details the construction of an **HF converter** designed by M1GEO, George Smart, specifically to extend the frequency range of the FunCube Dongle Pro (FCD) for amateur radio reception. The FCD natively covers 64 to 1,700 MHz, but this project enables reception from 0 Hz to 64 MHz by up-converting signals to the FCD's operational range. It employs a **double-balanced mixer** with a 100 MHz local oscillator (LO) to translate incoming HF signals; for instance, a 1 MHz signal appears at 101 MHz within the FCD's passband. The design incorporates a 7th-order Chebyshev low-pass filter with a 62 MHz cutoff frequency at the input to mitigate image frequencies, ensuring cleaner spectral presentation. George provides the schematic, PCB masks, and Gerber files for replication, noting that Far Circuits also offers PCBs. The resource includes test results for the low-pass filter and measurements of LO leakage, identifying -36.8 dBm at 100 MHz as a potential sensitivity concern. M1GEO discusses potential improvements, such as adjusting the mixer's LO drive, adding a balance pot, or incorporating a post-mixer high-pass filter to reduce LO breakthrough. Audio recordings from 40m and 17m demonstrate the converter's performance with WRplus SDR software.

The _Sci.Electronics FAQ: Repair: RFI/EMI Info_ document, authored by Daniel 9V1ZV, provides a detailed analysis of computer-generated RFI/EMI, focusing on its impact on radio reception. It identifies common RFI sources such as CPU clock rates (e.g., 4.77 MHz to 80 MHz), video card oscillators (e.g., 14.316 MHz), and even keyboard microprocessors, all of which generate square-wave harmonics across HF and L-VHF regions. The resource outlines a systematic procedure for pinpointing RFI origins, including disconnecting peripherals and using a portable AM/SW receiver with a ferrite rod antenna to localize strong interference sources. The document categorizes RFI mitigation into shielding, filtering, and design problems, offering practical solutions for each. It recommends applying conductive sprays like _EMI-LAC_ or _EMV-LACK_ to plastic casings of radios, monitors, and CPUs to create effective Faraday cages, emphasizing proper grounding and avoiding short circuits. For filtering, the guide suggests using line filters, ferrite beads, and toroids on power and data lines, and small value capacitors (e.g., 0.01 uF for serial/parallel, 100 pF for video) to shunt RFI to ground. It also discusses the use of bandpass, high-pass, low-pass, and notch filters on the receiver front-end or antenna feed to combat specific in-band noise.

KB9AMG's Top WSPR Spots presents a focused online tool for monitoring **2-way WSPR reports**, specifically detailing propagation data from February 2026 through March 2026. This resource aggregates _WSPRnet_ data, allowing radio amateurs to observe weak signal propagation conditions across various bands. The interface is straightforward, presenting callsigns, frequencies, signal-to-noise ratios, and distances for each reported contact, which is crucial for understanding current band openings and signal paths. The utility of this WSPR spotter lies in its ability to quickly visualize global propagation. Users can identify active stations and assess signal viability over long distances, with reports often showing contacts spanning thousands of kilometers. For instance, a typical WSPR report might indicate a signal from Europe reaching North America with a _SNR_ of -25 dB, demonstrating effective low-power communication. This data is invaluable for planning DX operations or evaluating antenna performance under actual propagation conditions.

The resource provides coaxial cable attenuation data, listing signal loss in dB per 100 feet for various cable types across a frequency range from 1 MHz to 5.8 GHz. The initial table details attenuation for cables such as _RG-58_, _RG-8X_, and RG-213, with impedance values of 50 ohm or 75 ohm, at frequencies up to 1 GHz. For example, _RG-58_ exhibits **0.4 dB** loss at 1 MHz and **21.5 dB** loss at 1 GHz per 100 feet. A subsequent table expands on this data, including LMR series cables like _LMR-400_ and LMR-600, along with other types such as 9913F7 and RG214. This section covers frequencies from 30 MHz to 1,500 MHz, also noting the outer diameter of each cable. For instance, _LMR-400_ (0.405" diameter) shows **0.7 dB** loss at 30 MHz and 5.1 dB loss at 1,500 MHz per 100 feet. The final section focuses on VHF/UHF/Microwave amateur and ISM bands, presenting attenuation in dB per 100 feet (and meters) for frequencies including 144 MHz, 450 MHz, and 2.4 GHz. This table includes larger diameter hardline options like 1/2" LDF and 7/8" LDF, in addition to flexible coaxial cables. For example, 1/2" LDF cable demonstrates **0.85 dB** loss at 144 MHz and 6.6 dB loss at 2.4 GHz per 100 feet. DXZone Focus: Coaxial cable attenuation | LMR-400 | RG-58 | 5.8 GHz

137 kHz propagation analysis details ground wave and sky wave mechanisms, drawing heavily from **CCIR Rec. 368-6** for ground wave field strength predictions and **CCIR Rep. 265-7** for sky wave modeling. The resource presents field strength values for 1 W ERP at varying distances, considering ground conductivity and permittivity for ground wave, and ionospheric height (70km daytime, 90km nighttime) for sky wave. Key factors like ionospheric focusing (factor "D"), reflection coefficient ("RC"), and antenna ground pattern factors ("Ft", "Fr") are quantified for 137 kHz, enabling calculation of sky wave field strength. Practical coverage ranges are derived for 137 kHz, showing useful ground wave coverage up to 1600 km over seawater and 1100 km over average ground, assuming a -9 dBuV/m noise floor. Sky wave coverage extends beyond 2200 km during night-time and winter daytime, but is negligible during summer daytime at solar minimum. The document also compares ground wave and sky wave strengths, identifying crossover distances at 550 km (night-time), 750 km (winter daytime), and 1250 km (summer daytime), where interference fading can occur. Adjustments for solar maximum conditions are provided, indicating 2-11 dB higher sky wave values depending on distance and season.
