Variable capacitors of variable or tapped inductor. Popular for manual desktop matching 200pF and 470pF are obtainable through surplus, but large 20 µH due to its 60:1 SWR range. Prone to False tunes. The variable variable inductor values increases size and cost capacitors must be insulated from enclosure ground.
Balanced Switched-L
Lowest loss, but it has the most parts and makes it the most Most popular. Lowest parts count allows for smallest size and expensive. The 20 uH inductors must be synchronized to turn at portable operation. One 10 uH inductor, one 4000 pF capacitor, the same time and a 1:1 balun is used. Excellent for 450 ohm and one Hi/Lo-Z switch. A medium 10:1 range limits tuning on Ladder-Line and other balanced feedlines. antennas with very high SWR.

10 • CQ • May 2020 Visit Our Web Site For a week this past March, VP2VB, the callsign of pioneering DXpeditioner Danny Weil (SK), was heard once again on the amateur airwaves as four current-day DXpeditioners sailed from New York to the British Virgin Islands to operate and honor Danny’s legacy. KO8SCA shares his thoughts on returning home; we’ll have a full report on the voyage next month. VP2VB Sails Again!– Part I
BY ADRIAN CIUPERCA,* KO8SCA
uccess is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts. It takes a certain type ofS person to leave the comfort of land behind, to sail into the earth’s immense oceans. Sailing the oceans solo is not for the faint of heart. One needs a spirit of adventure and nerves of steel to face any adversity. Danny Weil, VP2VB, was that kind of adventurer, a vagabond of the oceans who unknowingly pioneered what would be called from then on the DXpedition. Danny’s travels — and tra- vails — were shared with hams at the time in the pages of CQ and his com- plete story is told in the book, Yasme, by Jim Cain, K1TN. Over the years, famous hams, many of whom are inductees to the CQ DX Hall of Fame, followed in Danny’s footsteps, including Gus Browning, W4BPD; Iris and Lloyd Colvin, W6KG / W6WL; Martti Laine, OH2BH; and many others, trav- eled to remote places to give a new one to so many DXers around the world. But more than that, these pioneers are an inspiration for future ham oper- ators, who will be striving to keep the DX alive, to prove that everything is possible, and that the impossible just takes a bit longer.

BY “SHERLOCK”
t was a dark and cloudy day when this defective radio was returned to the 221B Baker Street Laboratory for Ianalysis. I had offered my services to the Ministry of Defence before to help with some of the more singular failures. Watson was unavailable to record these findings, so these writings are only from my sketchy notes. I hope they prove helpful to others faced with such an elusive and singular failure. This is a factual report; my monographs and case files contain fewer embellish- ments here than Dr. Watson’s. When the defective radio arrived, it was wrapped in a plastic bag and the operator had attached some white mine-tape to the radio stating the fol- lowing: “The field operator was on HP (High Power) when the radio first Photo A.

Introducing CQ’s World-Wide DX Contest
Radio magazine, CQ’s predecessor, sponsored a World-Wide DX Contest in 1939, with good reviews from participants. After an inter- ruption known as World War II, CQ brought it back in 1948. Since this issue contains the CW results of the 71st consecutive running of the CQWW DX Contest, we thought it would be fun to use our 75th anniversary “CQ Classics” series to take you back to the beginning. First is the contest announcement from the August 1948 issue for the phone week- end at the end of October and the CW weekend at the beginning of November. The basic rules are amazingly similar to today’s, although with far fewer categories and no concerns over such things as self-spotting or remote operation. Only four bands were permitted – 3.5, 7, 14, and 28 megacycles — as the 15-meter band (21 mc) was not available to hams in the U.S. until 1952. Our second Classic for this month is the results article for CQWW #1, published in the June 1949 issue. The response was termed “enthusiastic” and the editors declared that, “From this year on, it will be an annual operating event certain to grow in popularity.” That prediction was certainly accurate. In 1948, 137 phone logs were submitted (band conditions were very poor) showing participation by 158 stations in 28 zones. Only two of the logs were for multi-operator efforts and the top score, by PY2AC, was 124,068 points. By contrast, the 2019 SSB weekend drew 5,565 logs showing participation by some 36,000 stations around the world, and the top score, by multi-multi station D4C, was over 42 million points! The 1948 CW weekend (with improved band conditions), drew 499 logs showing 562 participants in 32 zones. Eight stations were multi-op but Results of the first (1948) CQ the top score of 452,454 points went to single-op station GI6TK in Northern Ireland.

The top score was multi-multi station EF8R with nearly 48 million points, while D4C took the top single-op spot with nearly 20 million. Final note before we let you start reading the actual articles. Pay special attention to the photos in the results arti- cle and note that virtually all of the operators pictured wore suits while operating!

Home-Based EmComm Exercise ARRL Ohio Section Emergency Coordinator Stan Broadway, N8BHL (Photo A), reports that his organization cancelled a state ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) conference scheduled for early April and replaced it with a statewide com- munications exercise focused on operating from home. “Ohio has a high-profile station at the state EOC with reg- ular weekly EOC nets underway,” Broadway told CQ (see Photo B). “But with the national emphasis on staying home, we turned the vacated day into a 2-hour series of nets designed to have amateur operators check in using their home stations. ASEC Tim Price, K8WFL, created the event, suggesting it would be a great way to showcase amateur radio’s capabilities and an opportunity to show state and com- munity leaders our capabilities. “The Ohio HF voice net (Photo C) will run check-ins on 40 and 80 meters, with the Ohio Digital Emergency Net (OHDEN) operating on 80,” he continued. “Then, around 1 p.m. we will turn to a linked digital radio system using DMR’s Photo A.

Lampotang’s ham radio connection was friend and former colleague Gordon Gibby, M.D., who is also KX4Z. Gibby, in turn, recruited ham volunteers including Arduino expert Jack Purdum, W8TEE (a CQ contributor) and µBITX transceiver designer Ashraf Farhan, VU2ESE. The University of Florida says the “MacGyver”-style ventilator can be built for $250 or less. At press time, Lampotang and his associates were adding safety features needed to meet reg- ulatory requirements, after which they planned engineering tests to assess its safety, accuracy, and endurance.

AOR AR5700D Wideband Receiver
AOR has released the newest member of its desktop wide- band receiver line. the AR5700D. This radio will receive sig- nals from 9 kHz through 3.7 GHz and can decode many pop- ular analog and digital modes, including TETRA, DMR, NXDN, D-STAR, DPMR, APCO 25, Yaesu’s System Fusion, ALINCO, D-CR. Analog modes include FM, FM Stereo, AM, synchronous AM, USB, LSB, CW, analog I/Q, and FM video, in tuning steps from 1 Hz to 999.999 kHz. There are two receiving circuits depending on frequency: From 9 kHz to 25 MHz, the AR5700D uses direct conversion. From 25 MHz to 3.7 GHz, it uses a double superheterodyne circuit. Powering the AR5700D’s listening ability is a powerhouse of CPUs, DSPs, and FPGAs such as two Renesas SH2 CPUs, three Analog Devices Blackfin DSPs, one Analog Devices ADSP-2185 DSP, two Intel Cyclone IV FPGAs, and two Intel Cyclone III FPGAs. The plethora of chips combines to produce powerful signal processing, demodulation, and decoding.

hat serious ham radio operator does not like anten- nas? None that I’m aware of, based upon my expe- rience. Ham radio and antennas go together like eggsW and bacon, salt and pepper, peanut butter and jelly. The more antennas the better! Antennas specifically designed for a single band general- ly offer more gain and better performance on both transmit and receive than do multi-band antennas. Devotees of a par- ticular band will build or purchase antennas for that band. But what happens when, in the course of time, you discov- er a penchant for another band? Get another antenna up for that band is the obvious answer. If homeowner association covenants will allow antennas, and if there’s enough real estate or attic space; then an “antenna farm” (multiple anten- nas) takes root and grows. But then the problem arises of just how to efficiently route the RF (radio frequency) signal from the transceiver to the correct antenna. Antenna Switches Coax antenna switches provide an easy, straightforward approach of feeding multiple antennas to a transceiver or Photo A. Venerable Heathkit four-port HF antenna switch even more than one transceiver. But getting the right switch (no longer manufactured). Note the SO-239 (female UHF) isn’t as simple as it might seem. For example, did you know connectors. Position C indicates “common.” This is the con- antenna switches are frequency specific? Were you aware nection to the transceiver. The other ports are labeled 1-4. Position 6 is for grounding the switch to a common ground. The screw with the washer is the grounding lug. (Photos by *Email:

58 • CQ • May 2020 Visit Our Web Site that many switches have power restrictions? Other things to consider are isolation and construction — in addition to price — before selecting a switch. Frequency Range Antenna switches do not fall into the category of “one size fits all.” Antenna switches are frequency dependent, mean- ing their ability to present a 50-ohm impedance across mul- tiple frequencies without introducing a significant loss of RF. For example, many of the antenna (coaxial) switches typi- cally found at hamfests (see Photo A for an example) are designed for HF (high frequency: 1.8 to 30 MHz) use. Most commercially-made HF transceivers on the market today are also equipped with 6 meters. If a transceiver uses the same coaxial port for both HF and 6 meters and you’re trying to switch in a 6-meter antenna using an HF antenna switch, then you’ll most likely notice that the SWR (standing wave Photo B. MFJ-1702 C VHF / UHF 2-port antenna switch. This ratio) is high on 6 meters. You may also notice reduced sig- switch is specifically designed for VHF / UHF service, where- nal strength on receive and lower output power on transmit. as many others are only rated for HF frequencies. This switch All because you don’t have an antenna switch rated for VHF will present low insertion loss and low SWR if connected to / UHF (very high frequency / ultra-high frequency). Don’t fret a proper feedline and antenna. if that’s what you’ve done. You’re not alone. What’s the Difference? So, what’s the difference between HF and VHF / UHF switch- es? Glad you asked. As operating frequency increases, RF current tends to flow more on the conductor’s surface. Engineers call this phenomenon “skin effect.” Skin effect most certainly occurs at VHF / UHF frequencies and it’s even more pronounced at microwave frequencies. Let’s look at Figure 1. There are two circles representing a conductor’s cross section. The conductor on the left is conducting RF at 20 kHz. Note that the green indicating RF current extends into the conductor’s diameter. But the second circle, being fed at 81 kHz, has more current (red) towards the wire’s sur- face. Keep in mind that 20 and 81 kHz are much lower in fre- quency than VHF / UHF. The effect depicted at 81 kHz would be even more pronounced at 144 MHz. Commercial anten- na switch manufacturers take skin effect into account in designing and manufacturing switches. The MFJ-1702C, for example (Photo B), is a VHF / UHF antenna switch. Power Ratings Inevitably, power is almost always present in ham radio dis- cussions, including this one. How many watts can your anten- na switch safely handle? Some switches are rated for only a few hundred watts, whereas others can handle full legal limit (1,500 watts). It’s important to know what output power you intend to put through the antenna switch on its way to the antenna. The MFJ-1702 C is rated for 1-kilowatt CW (con- tinuous wave) at UHF while still presenting a 50-ohm imped- ance between the transceiver and antenna. On the other hand, MFJ’s 1700C (Photo C), according to the company website, “handles 2-kilowatt PEP for 50- to 75-Ohm loads. Unused terminals are automatically grounded. Has SO-239 connectors. Covers 1.8-30 MHz. 10 x 3 x 1-1/2 inches.” Although we’ve only looked at Heathkit and MFJ antenna switches here, there are other manufacturers supplying antenna / coaxial switches.

Can the coax cables going to the switch be placed out of the way? Is the switch enclosed in a metal box? Another factor to consider when look- ing for a switch is whether it includes a gas-discharge tube for electrical surge protection. MFJ’s 1700C and 1702C both come equipped with a gas-dis- charge tube. Since we’re on the topic of construc- tion, how many ports does the switch offer?

So, when I go surplus shopping, I always look for the potential of what an item can become, not for what the item is. I’ve been repurposing chassis and cabinets for several years. This has improved the way my projects look when finished. My 10-GHz transverter system (Photo C) is one example of this. It’s pretty simple to reuse a chassis or cabinet.

For our purposes, we want to minimize occu- pied bandwidth, and so the modem carefully shapes those data transitions to accomplish that. The goal is to give the decision circuit — the part in the receiving modem that decides whether a bit is a 1 or a 0 — as easy a time as pos- sible in making that decision, because this helps the overall link perform better. An eye pattern can show us just how “good” the received waveform is. To generate an eye diagram, set an oscillo- Figure 1.

Set the scope trigger to start at the rising edge of the of the receive data clock sig- nal, which causes all the decision points — the instant the decision circuit samples the signal to determine if it is a 1 or a 0 — to pile up on each other, as seen in Figure 2. Notice the distinct eye-shaped opening in the pattern, which is where we get the name from. When everything is right, these bits all follow similar paths and converge at the two decision points. The smaller these convergence points, the better the received signal: The modem has an easier time deciding, and you have fewer bit errors. If the convergence points are fuzzy, the decision gets more difficult, and errors become more common. Vertical spread- ing of the points means the signal is distorted, caused by a noisy radio path, over-deviation, poor audio circuitry, exces- sive filtering at IF or audio levels, incorrect filtering within the modem, a faulty component, and so on. Horizontal spread- Figure 2. A nearly ideal “eye” pattern. The center of the waveform looks like an eye, hence the name.

If the transmitter and receiver are signal can be generated by simply key- ing the PTT line: The modem is always sending scrambled data, particularly with no input data, which is perfectly fine to generate an eye pattern. The DF9IC Test Transmitter As we mentioned previously, not all radios are suitable for 9600-baud oper- ation. The usual culprit is the transmit- ter circuit: Those using phase modula- tion (PM) introduce too much distortion for data operations (although this is inaudible for voice signals –DR). Cry- stal- and PLL-based transmitters using a varactor diode for true frequency mod- ulation (FM) should work fine. The receiver is rarely a limitation, but of course all of the audio filtering must be bypassed. There are data radios (and data-ready radios) on the market, which eliminate any need for radio surgery: Photo A.

For testing, the transmitter is the weak Test Transmitter Parts List spot, so what we need is a transmitter that doesn’t introduce any distortion. The circuit in Figure 3, developed by R1 1k (1.0KQBK-ND) Henning Rech, N2EOW / DF9IC, was R2 180k (180KQBK-ND) previously published by him in 1992 and R3 220k (220KQBK-ND) is gleefully stolen by me (with permis- R4 10k (10KQBK-ND) sion, of course) for this article.

The result is a neat round area where the copper is removed, with the 1/8-inch drill guid- ed by the drilled component holes. Note that the two inductors for the out- put filter are made of stripline, those two squiggly lines on the PC board. The far ends of these stripline inductors (clos- est to the board’s edge) need to be grounded, so be sure to solder a small wire through the holes, connecting both sides of the board together. When build- ing the project, use standard UHF con- struction techniques: Keep all leads as short as possible, try to solder all grounds to both sides of the board, and don’t use sockets for the ICs. I have selected the components for easy availability in North America. Certain components, such as the volt- age-variable capacitor (varicap or var- actor diode) can be substituted if required: Use something with a nomi- nal capacitance in the 35- to 45-pF range, such as a BB909. Everything else should be readily available throughout the world.

The 2019 6-meter effort with a single 5-ele- ment Yagi and 500 watts netted him 17 QSOs via EME — given the small anten- na, a noteworthy accomplishment. Gene’s 2020 effort, scheduled from February 26th to March 13th but cut short by Covid-19, was on 70 centime- ters. He modified the boom of an M2 9wl2 Yagi so that it would fit in a nor- mal-size checked bag and built a 500- watt SSPA using a W6PQL’s LDMOS module.3 It was driven by an ICOM 9700 which, on receive, was aided by a WD5AGO 70-centimeter preamp to make it suitable for EME (see Photo A). The 9700, with coverage on 2 meters, 70 and 23 centimeters, has become a popular multimode transceiver with the weak-signal crowd. Small and light- weight, it easily lends itself to travel. With the addition of an external refer- ence such as the Leo Bodnar injection board with GPSDO (Global Positioning System Disciplined Oscillator),4 the transceiver — as KB7Q will attest — is “rock steady” with stability within 1 Hz.

74 • CQ • May 2020 Visit Our Web Site The focus of HamSCI 2020 was “The Auroral Connection: How does the aurora effect amateur radio, and what can be learned about the aurora from radio techniques?” Over the two days of the workshop, nearly 40 presentations were made by amateurs and scientists alike, making it impossi- ble to summarize in any meaningful way for this column. (We are hoping to have a wrapup of the workshop in an upcoming issue. – ed.) Having said that, the presentations by Dr. Elizabeth MacDonald of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, New Mexico Consortium on Aurosasauras,6 “Citizen Science Observation of the Aurora,” and Dr. James LaBelle, Space Scientist at Dartmouth College, “Observing Radio Signals of Auroral Origin,” were particularly inter- esting. Who knew that aurora causes RF emissions in the medium-wave band? Dave Halliday, K2DH, shared his insight and experiences operating on the bands from 6 meters through 70 centime- ters during auroras. See the HamSCI website (link in Notes below) for PDFs of the presentations, answers / comments to the questions that were submitted during the workshop and edited workshop videos.
On the Bands Across North America, there seem to be hotspots of activity on the VHF / UHF / microwave bands. A club or a dedicated group of individuals is usually the catalyst behind much of the activity. Recent columns have highlighted such activities in Texas, Florida, and southern Ontario / Western New York. Another example can be found in the Phoenix / Tucson area, where on a weekend in March, at least 11 ops took to the field to “do a little mountain topping,” as Jim Hermanek, KØKFC, put it.

Others viewed the operation as violating “no self-spotting” rules and the prohi- bition on contact solicitation by non-amateur radio means. The ARRL Contest Department will have to sort it out, and the main contest rules writers (including CQ) undoubtedly will be reviewing their rules for the next contest season. CQ World Wide WPX CW The CQ World Wide WPX CW contest will take place from May 30 at 0000 UTC through May 31 at 2359 UTC. Note that this is the weekend after the Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. This weekend heralds the traditional end to the contest season and provides a great opportunity for a head start on making and testing antenna and station improvements while this past contest season is still fresh in memory. Spring weath- er makes outside work pleasant in most areas of the country. We expect another huge turnout for this weekend. Predictions are that the worst of the pandemic will have passed in most areas of the world and collectively we will be in the initial stages of recovery from various restrictions that were necessary. As this is being written, we certainly hope to be welcoming a slow but sure return to “normalcy” in most areas by the beginning of June.

92 • CQ • May 2020 Visit Our Web Site The ability of the ionosphere to diffract radio waves depends in part on the frequency of the radio wave. Higher frequen- cy waves are bent less than those of lower frequencies. At VHF and higher frequencies, the waves usually pass through the ionosphere and are lost to space. So VHF / UHF signals from stations beyond the radio horizon are rarely heard with- out repeaters, while shortwave transmissions can reach around the world by way of the ionosphere. However, Sporadic- E propagation allows for contacts of 1000 miles or more on low VHF bands.
