However, these are usually the most expensive and are not always the most convenient (because of a lack of USB, etc). In some cases, the manufacturer of your radio produces the highest quality cable for programming. I much prefer this information to be user-maintained and contributed!

I will get the radio on a full sized G5RV soon.This page is a collection of user submitted information on radio programming cables.

The image below is a screenshot of the software running, under poor conditions. During the first hour, on 6 meters of wire, stuffed in the back of a PL259, I received 39 stations. There was a fair bit of RF noise, yet these signals continued to come through. There was quite a bit of QRM, as we live in a busy neighborhood – Laptops, PCs, WiFi, etc.
Impressed 🙂 I couldn’t hear anything on any of the bands. After a bit of fiddling, and on a wire about 6 meters long, I received about 5 German stations in the first 2 minutes. I had previously created a WSPRnet account, so I entered the details, and selected to upload spots.
Not really knowing what to do, I then went back and read the instructions. With the Yaesu FT-817, I connected an audio cable from the headphone socket of the receiver to the Line Input on my computers soundcard, set the input source in Ubuntu’s sound manager, and then set the audio level as instructed by the WSPR program. Receiving MapĪfter compiling the software, I decided to have a play. 80m is noisy here, maybe 15m would be a good start… Tomorrow will tell. Also, I would like to get onto 15 and 80m. 00:32 M1GEO 10.140281 -24 0 JO01cn 5 DG0OPK JO50gq 727 94įinally, an extract of the WSPRnet database, showing all stations that have heard me thus far… I haven’t managed to sort this problem yet, as it is getting towards 2:30am. Timestamp Call MHz SNR Drift Grid Pwr Reporter RGrid km az The screenshot shows this to be the likely cause, and the text below shows the duplicate entries: I guessed pretty much instantly I was over-modulating, and thus putting two signals out, either side of where i am supposed to be. I noticed that I was on a single station’s received list twice. After the timeslot, I looked to find myself on the website. At the next timeslot, the node started transmitting, and all was well. After a while, I had tweaked enough, and so hit the TX Next button. I set up everything according to instruction from both WSPR and ICOM manuals. I made cables for my radio, and set it all up, working out frequency shifts, etc to ensure I was in band.

Here is a list of callsigns which I could hear or where hearing me during the morning of the 28th October on the 15-meter QRP activity day. I was pleased to have been heard in many eastern American states, Canada, and Brazil – and only on 2W. About 14:00 UTC, after returning from being out a short while, I checked back in to look at the reports. I think now, if anything, I am under-modulating, but I’d rather that than making a mess of the bands. I got up pretty early this morning, 9am (very early for a student), and further tweaked the transmit settings until they worked correctly. Much of the European stuff comes via 80m and 30m, where as The Americas were coming in thick and fast via 15m. The map below is a map of the activity during the first day of 27th October 15- and 80-meter event.
