Over 100 amateur radio beacon audio files are presented, offering a direct auditory experience of propagation conditions across a wide spectrum of frequencies, from 1.8 MHz to 47 GHz. These recordings, primarily captured by IW3FZQ and IK3NWX, document signals from beacons such as DK0WCY, IY4M, GB3RAL, and S55ZRS, providing a valuable resource for **propagation study** and **beacon monitoring**. Each entry in the list specifies the beacon's callsign, its operating frequency in kHz, and the recording operator. This compilation includes signals from beacons located in various grid squares like JN55VF, JO44VQ, and IO91IN, illustrating diverse geographical origins. The frequencies covered span the 160m, 80m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m, 6m, 4m, 2m, 70cm, 23cm, 6cm, 3cm, 1.2cm, and 6mm amateur bands. Users can listen to these recordings to identify characteristic beacon tones and observe signal strength variations. The resource also invites other radio amateurs to contribute their own beacon audio files, fostering a collaborative archive of propagation data. The last update to this collection was on March 24, 2009, indicating a historical snapshot of beacon activity. Accessing the files requires the Real Player software.

Topband and DX recordings and sound files on 160 meters band

This resource provides a unique historical audio archive of 50 MHz DX contacts, documenting significant F2 and Es propagation events experienced by PA2S (formerly PA2HJS) since 1978. The collection includes recordings of beacons and two-way QSOs with stations across North America, South America, Asia, Australia, Europe, and Africa. Specific entries detail contacts with rare DX entities such as ZS6PW, VE1AVX, C5AEH, J52US, TR8CA, LU8MBL, VK8ZLX, and various Japanese stations, often noting the mode (SSB or CW) and propagation type. The archive also highlights challenging pile-up situations and frustrating near-misses during major openings. The recordings, initially in RealAudio format for solar cycles 21 and 22 and later in MP3 for cycle 23, offer a practical illustration of 6-meter band conditions over several solar cycles. The content allows hams to listen to actual signals from different continents, observing signal characteristics like typical TEP fading from 5H3RA or strong F2 backscatter from OZ1BVW. It provides a comparative perspective on propagation effectiveness between solar cycles, noting that cycle 23, while not as robust as previous cycles, still yielded interesting openings. The archive serves as a valuable educational tool for understanding real-world 50 MHz DXing and propagation phenomena.

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 *SPACE* Amateur Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) system offers public audio transmissions from NASA Mission Control and astronauts, primarily for educational purposes. This service streams NASA public media sources, including *Artemis II* and the ISS public audio channel 2 feed, which predominantly features English communications. Astronaut activities on the ISS typically occur between 0700 UTC and 19:00 UTC, with transmissions most common during early mornings USA time, alongside special events such as launches or spacewalks. Users can connect to the live stream via EchoLink to the *SPACE* conference, via IRLP to the 0100 experimental reflector, or via Allstar to node 516221. EchoLink connections utilize the GSM CODEC, while IRLP and other connections default to uncompressed or u-law CODEC. The service notes that long periods of silence are common, and NASA audio sources can be periodically unavailable or noisy. Daily recordings of these transmissions are published at space.rfnet.link/recordings/, available as .ogg audio files for direct playback or .m3u8 playlist files for network streaming in applications like VLC. Each playlist file provides a list of timestamped audio transmissions, allowing users to review specific segments of interest.
