Operational experience

 

 

We joint the PACC and made around 100 QSO's.

- Beam effect is pretty strong

- changing the speed of the motor can be done  slowly (app. 3 minutes) or fast (half a minute) and any speed in between.

- noise level was pretty high

- the solar panels were the source of a lot of QRM/noise. putting th panels of gave a tremendous improvement.

- but we found out that the power supply of the PC was also terrible. After changing the power supply, the noise level improved

  again substantially

- Now (April 2022) the noise level in 3kHz (FT8) band width on a Yeasu FT-991a is comparable with the websdrmaasbree.
