CW Decoder provides a robust solution for amateur radio operators aiming to decode Morse code directly on their computer. The software processes incoming audio, presenting the decoded CW as text on the screen, which can be particularly useful during crowded band conditions or for those refining their copying skills. Additionally, it offers the capability to generate a sidetone, allowing operators to monitor the decoded audio in real-time. The application features a **spectrum display** of the audio input, complete with a sliding cursor. This visual aid enables precise selection of a specific audio frequency for decoding, helping to isolate desired signals from QRM. My field experience with similar decoders confirms that a clear visual representation of the signal greatly improves decoding accuracy, especially when dealing with weak signals or multiple stations. Beyond decoding, the program integrates a **keying function**, allowing users to transmit CW directly from their keyboard. This feature supports full CW break-in operation, which is essential for efficient contesting and DXing, providing immediate switching between transmit and receive modes without manual intervention.

Constructing a portable, high-gain antenna for _AO-40_ satellite operations presents unique challenges, particularly regarding mechanical stability and parabolic accuracy. This resource details the build of a 1.2-meter "brolly dish" antenna, utilizing a non-conducting fiberglass umbrella frame as its foundation. The project outlines a method for achieving a parabolic shape using stressed aluminum fly screen mesh, guided by practical geometry and a temporary dowel template. Key steps include selecting an appropriate umbrella with a suitable f/D ratio (ideally >0.25), removing the original fabric, and precisely cutting and attaching eight segments of fly screen to the struts to form the reflective surface. The construction process, which took approximately five hours for the author, _G6LVB_, resulted in a dish with an f/D of 0.27 (depth=270mm, diameter=1160mm, f=310mm). The article also describes a modification to a _TransSystem AIDC_ feed, incorporating a PCB reflector behind the dipole for easier mounting. Performance tests at a squint angle of 15 deg and a range of 50,000km yielded a signal-to-noise ratio of 33dB on the S2 beacon and 23dB for SSB signals, indicating strong reception. The author notes that the modified umbrella may not close fully without risking surface disfigurement.
