Compiles a detailed calendar of RTTY contests, providing essential information for digital mode enthusiasts. It lists contest dates, links to official rules, and often includes historical results and records, enabling operators to plan their contesting schedule and review past performances. The resource covers a wide array of RTTY events, from major international contests like the _ARRL RTTY Roundup_ and _CQ WW RTTY_ to smaller, regional competitions. Operators can quickly identify upcoming RTTY contests, review specific rules for each event, and access historical data to gauge competition levels. For example, the site details the _BARTG RTTY Sprint_ and the _SARTG New Years_ contest, offering a centralized hub for RTTY contesting information. This resource is particularly useful for those aiming to improve their digital contesting skills or track their progress against established **records**.

Theory of the ferrite rod antenna

Accurate frequency measurement is crucial for amateur radio operators, particularly when building or troubleshooting transceivers and test equipment. This resource details the construction of a _PIC microcontroller_-based frequency counter, providing a practical solution for precise frequency display. The design incorporates an LCD readout, offering clear visual feedback of measured frequencies. The counter can operate as a standalone unit, useful for general bench testing, or be integrated directly into a receiver. Its built-in offset functionality allows for seamless integration, enabling the display of the received signal frequency rather than the intermediate frequency. The project focuses on accessible components and construction techniques, making it suitable for homebrew enthusiasts. Key features include a measurement range up to **50 MHz** and a compact form factor.

The resource details the construction of a multiband trap-style Inverted-V antenna designed for operation on 3.5 MHz, 7 MHz, 14 MHz, 21 MHz, and 28 MHz. It presents specific winding data for the traps, including the number of turns, wire gauge, and coil former dimensions, crucial for achieving resonance on the target bands. The document provides a parts list and a diagram illustrating the antenna's physical layout and trap placement. It outlines the process for building the traps using PVC pipe formers and specifies the required capacitor values for each trap. The design emphasizes a practical approach to achieving multiband operation with a single feedline, a common goal for HF operators with limited space. The document includes a table with antenna segment lengths for each band, allowing for precise replication of the design. It also offers insights into tuning and adjustment, ensuring the antenna performs optimally across the designated amateur radio bands.

Mitigating RF noise in a mobile operating environment, particularly within a _Jeep TJ_ vehicle, presents unique challenges due to the vehicle's electrical system and chassis characteristics. This resource details practical methods for identifying and suppressing various forms of radio frequency interference (RFI) that can degrade receiver performance for both CB and amateur radio transceivers. It covers common noise sources such as ignition systems, alternators, fuel pumps, and computer modules, explaining how these components generate broadband or specific frequency noise that impacts radio communications. The guide offers actionable solutions, including proper grounding techniques, the strategic use of ferrite beads and toroids on power and data lines, and the installation of bypass capacitors. It discusses the effectiveness of different filtering strategies for DC power lines and antenna feedlines, illustrating how a clean power supply and shielded cabling can significantly reduce conducted and radiated noise. The information presented helps operators achieve a lower noise floor, improving signal-to-noise ratio and enabling clearer reception of weak signals, which is crucial for effective mobile DXing or local ragchewing.
