A fractional bandwidth of up to 30:1 characterizes spiral antennas, making them highly effective across a very wide frequency range, often from 1 GHz to 30 GHz. The resource details two primary types: the **Log-Periodic Spiral Antenna** and the **Archimedean Spiral Antenna**, defining each with specific polar functions and illustrating their planar configurations. It explains that spiral antennas are typically circularly polarized, with a Half-Power Beamwidth (HPBW) of approximately 70-90 degrees, and a peak radiation direction perpendicular to the spiral plane. The content elaborates on critical design parameters affecting radiation, including the total length (outer radius) for lowest frequency, the flare rate ('a' constant) for optimal radiation versus capacitive behavior, the feed structure (often an infinite balun) for high-frequency operation, and the number of turns (typically 1.5 to 3 turns). It also discusses the theoretical impedance of 188 Ohms for Log-Periodic spirals, derived from Babinet's Principle, noting actual impedances are often 100-150 Ohms. The article presents a simple construction method for an Archimedean spiral, demonstrating VSWR and efficiency measurements. Measurements from a constructed spiral antenna show a VSWR that is fairly constant across the band, albeit with a mismatch loss of about 3 dB. The antenna efficiency remains around -5 dB (31.6%) across its operating range, indicating a decent wideband radiator despite opportunities for optimization. -

Demonstrates the operational status and reception reports for the SK6RUD/SA6RR QRPP beacons, which transmit on 478.9 kHz, 1995 kHz, 10.131 MHz, and 40.673 MHz. These beacons utilize extremely low power, with the 630-meter beacon operating at approximately 0.1 watt ERP into an L-antenna, showcasing the potential for long-distance contacts under favorable propagation conditions. The site details the specific frequencies and antenna types employed, such as a vertical at 500 kHz and a 1/4 vertical for higher bands. The resource compiles over 10,530 reception reports from amateur radio operators worldwide, logging details such as date, time, band, RST signal report, locator, distance, and receiver setup. Notable long-distance reports include a 500 kHz reception by AA1A-Dave from 5832 km in 2008 and a 10.133 MHz reception by ZL2FT-Jason from 17680 km in 2010, illustrating the global reach of these low-power transmissions. Each log entry provides specific equipment used by the reporting station, including transceivers like the Yaesu FT817, ICOM IC-7300, and various antenna configurations such as coaxial mag loops, inverted Ls, and end-fed wires. The primary objective of the SK6RUD beacons is to challenge conventional notions of power requirements for effective two-way communication, proving that contacts over significant distances are achievable with minimal output. The site also includes a submission form for new reception reports, fostering community engagement and continuous data collection on propagation phenomena across different bands. The detailed logs offer practical insights into real-world propagation characteristics and the efficacy of QRPP operations. -
The MEL PICBASIC Forum serves as a community hub for users of Micro Engineering Labs PICBASIC compilers, facilitating discussions related to PIC microcontroller programming. It features dedicated sections for various compiler versions, including mel PIC BASIC, mel PIC BASIC Pro, and PBP3, each containing numerous threads and posts detailing specific programming challenges and solutions. The forum also provides areas for frequently asked questions, general PIC BASIC discussions, and commercial assistance requests. Specific sub-forums address advanced topics such as PBP Extensions, Code Examples, and AI and PICBASIC, offering insights into extending compiler functionality and integrating artificial intelligence concepts. Furthermore, the platform includes sections for Data Communications, covering USB, I2C, 1-Wire, GSM, and serial communications, which are critical for interfacing PIC microcontrollers with external devices. A dedicated area for PIC Programmers allows for discussions on programming hardware and techniques. The forum's utility is enhanced by its extensive archives of user-contributed solutions and examples, which can assist hams in developing microcontroller-based projects for radio applications. The platform's structure supports knowledge exchange among hobbyists and professionals working with PIC microcontrollers. -

Aspiring radio amateurs in the United Kingdom preparing for their licensing examinations can utilize this resource, which offers mock exam questions covering the Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced license levels. The site provides access to question pools, including associated images, designed for use with _Moodle_ learning management systems requiring PHP and MySQL. These question sets are available for non-commercial deployment by UK amateur radio clubs and organizations, facilitating local training initiatives. The original online mock test service ceased operations in August 2018 due to maintenance overhead. The current iteration serves as a repository, allowing other organizations to download the question databases. This approach enables broader access to the exam preparation material, supporting the UK amateur radio community in achieving licensing qualifications. The resource does not offer direct online testing but directs users to other sites, such as _Radio Tutor_, that implement these question banks. -

Win EA6DDlog is a freeware logging application for Windows, developed by EA6DD Biel. It integrates features from existing software like Swislog, Urelib, Logger, and HamRadio Deluxe, presenting a Multi-Document Interface (MDI) similar to Logger. The program prioritizes simplicity, practicality, and operational speed, allowing functionality even on less powerful PCs. It does not require a formal installation; users can run it directly from a portable drive or any directory. This logging utility supports CAT control through Omnirig by Alex Shovkoplyas, VE3NEA, which is automatically installed if not already present on the system. It also offers QSL printing capabilities and connections to online callbook services such as QRZ and HamQTH for contact information. EA6DDlog includes an automatic update mechanism that checks for new versions upon startup, requiring internet access. For Windows Vista users, disabling User Account Control (UAC) is recommended for proper update functionality. The software is part of a broader development effort aiming for cross-platform compatibility, with future versions planned for Windows Mobile, Linux, and macOS. -
