Ham Radio Hangout


 


when_all_else_fails.jpg


 


Welcome to the Ham Radio Hangout! I have stumbled across several amateur radio operators here in the forums, and figure it would be a great place to get everyone together to see who all is a member of S4GRU that has their ticket! 


 


If it's your first time visiting please post your name, call sign and License class. Any other information you would like to share is optional. I'm working on creating a log of all Hams here on the site.


 


Thanks!

Hey, everybody, Harry Caray here.

 

Hey!

 

Hey!

 

Hey, Ham Radio Hangout, does your name ever make you hungry?  I had a ham sandwich once.  It was a beautiful sandwich.  I named it Linda.

Well you already know me, and where I'm at. APRS strong every time I drive. By the way just picked up a BCD536HP this weekend.

I just picked up a couple of SDR USB FOBs to play around with. They are pretty cool and some low end spectrum analyzers. It's amazing the range they have on them from about 40Mhz up to 1800Mhz....I need to replace the Crystal in them because they are not temp compensated and are really only good for wideband listening. they're good for +/- 100ppm drift from frequency which isn't nice for narrowband operations (Which i want to use to listen to police, fire, etc on 800Mhz. So i'll replace those as a nice weekend project. but the fobs were only $20 a pop. picked up two. Nice fun project.

Believe it or not, still have my AOR AR5000 that I've had since 1996, and that thing still works like a beast. One of the best receivers I ever picked up.

My local club is setting up two stations at separate locations. Not sure if I'll operate, but I'll try to pop my head in for a bit. :)

No field day for me. Due to work. Packages must keep moving.

Thinking about picking up one of the Baofeng units off amazon for some passive listening before I attempt to get my license. If its something that grabs me I'll go whole hog and get my license

Joski1624 wow I guess you were right, this did die off quite a long time ago. For some reason I don't even remember this even came up, probably because this site was way more active back then and it was hard to keep up on all of the conversations.

I forgot about it to, and yes I'm still licensed, about to renew. 20 year mark next June.

      I really apreciate no longer seeing n38 for T-Mobile. My s24 Ultra is reporting that Signalcheck Pro is crashing frequently.  It has the latest updates. I do occassional change sims and band preferences. Let me know if you need anything else.   Thanks.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
