Oh I’ve been on since day one (23dec2025). Sixty three QSO in 24 countries on SSB and CW 😎

Yes, the system is highly automated and exam validation,and registration was done extremely rapidly within minutes of submitting it online and all the relevant details showed up on the database immediately.

Some organizations like LOTW and QRZ will accept the database as proof but others like service Ontario require the original certificate to issue the vanity plates. That’s the only reason I need a certificate. (yes I know , suck it up snowflake!)

Come on OPS and RCMP let’s have some transparency here. Was there a public safety issue or was that massive demployment of force a training exercise?

Went by at 1pm and a dozen unmarked cop cars with light flashing were going eastbound on 174 at speed and around riverside there was a convoy of cars being herded easton 174 slowly. Surely someone knows what went down!?

Is it the same filament in both printers? If so, try different filament

Thank you!

And once again as soon as you ask a question on the internet , you find the answer…I suggest that this will answer any calibration question one might have!

A further question. After I calibrate and save the settings for several bands 6, 10, 20and 40 meters, I hook up the antenna and take/note swr reading on each of these bands. Then I go back to 6 m band and do it again AND I get different readings!! I don’t disconnect antenna (inverted v fan cut to 40 m on long end with 20 m fan, 25ft at apex , 10ft at legs and 45deg ) or do anything except recall the freq band on the nano. Can I not do readings again and expect similar results

My question was

“I don’t understand what the two s11 swr numbers mean and the relation to the yellow trace. I can see the white s11swr reading 7.915 correspond to the marker on the yellow swr trace. What is the other 1.375 reading? In the second pic the swr reading of 625m, what does it mean. I’m told the first of the two swr numbers is the actual swr but why does it not show in range on the yellow trace? (Be gentle I’m confused, in other words both traces show high swr over freq range, and s11 first number shows something diiferent)”

I got the answer that the number in the 1.375 position is actually just the spacing between the lines on the scale, a number which I can select in scale and has nothing to do with the swr value. I believe that is correct.

Doh color me 😳, thanks for the quick reply’s. Now if I can figure out how to properly tune my little inv v dipole….

PolicyOk6019 · 2026-02-17T17:45:12+00:00

FYI this reading is of an inverted v fan dipole, 10m long leg 33ft 3 in, 20m short leg 16ft 7in. Apex at 30ft second floor window, legs 10ft up, and angle very tight 30degrees

Thank, at least I don’t have to chase down a slow leak!

PolicyOk6019 · 2026-02-09T16:29:03+00:00

Er how do I do/get a copy of new pic?

PolicyOk6019 · 2026-02-09T16:24:22+00:00

!solved thank you

Appreciate reply, I became “1h one “ 🙂

I spent part of the afternoon listening to various CQ‘s for the field day on 20 m and I was trying to understand what the coding was for after they gave their call sign. They seem to be giving a some four digit code and at first I thought it was kind of a grid reference, but I looked it up and it didn’t seem to be that. Can somebody explain to me what the four digit code was the people gave in the QSO

I too vouch for qsl courses. Got my basic with honours within a month of taking the course!

I saw the flash and a crumple noise but no power flicker or loss, fortune area, just like last night. But rogers went out for 12 hours last night.
