To many of us involved in UIV32 a great deal of
experimentations are carried out mobile or pedestrian
or on a bike or in a powerchair. Simple tools such as a
TT3+Combo GPS1 or 2(Better) and a VX-7R or DJ-596 at
about five watts into a slim jim under the coat, if
pedestrian, or a co-linear magmount on the roof of car
are really all that is required.
In North Yorkshire its almost impossible to get out
parce-que very few stations now operate packet and in
the past the only route was via the ISS, however, on
advice ive now altered my path to APRS,TRACE7-6 with
quite astounding results at such qrp 5watts being heard
87miles distant can only be by ground wave. If any
readers are into UIV32 i would appreciate reports and
locations i will be very happy to QSL via RSGB Buro!
Altho my latest purchase is an Alinco DR-635 especially
fitted with a TNC and DSP unfortunately neither the
manufacturer or anyone known to me has been able to
recommend a GPS which may work with this rig so ive
enlisted the help of Byon N6BG and he has sent me the
apparatus to work on the move using a TT3+Combo which
is plugged into the mic switch and which affords me 3
pwrs 5w 25w 50w.
Mobile/Pedestrian beacons will show up on the APRS map.
Some stations picking up my sigs digi the sig onto INET
and it is then sent around the world. But here my
reference is only to the beacon factor and the SOS
value to locate a Ham in distress Lat/Lon.
September last year an SOS from my station was answered
immediately by Julien 9z4fz in Trinidad who passed on
data immediately to SAMU who in turn sent FIVE medecins
to us door. It was tricky but with a little ingenuity
it all comes together in REAL TIME comms. Try it and
see!
