  Intéressant l'idée d'utiliser un cerf-volant pour créer une antenne temporaire.

[VA2JOT Jacques]

Lors d'une sortie de club, j'ai tenté l'expérience sur le Mt St-Joseph, un sommet voisin du Mt-Mégantic avec un cerf-volant delta de 6' d'envergure. Malheureusement, le vent vint à manquer même si ce sommet est réputé être venteux ;-(

Le hic est que cela prend un "pilote" pendant que l'autre OM opère la radio et que les aléas du vol font que cela se pratique plus facilement avec une radio équipée d'un synto automatique.

(voici un cas typique de digression, aurais-je dû m'abstenir ou ouvrir un autre fil de discussion pour commenter sur le pilotage d'un cerf-volant avec antenne HF en remorque ?)

(...) (voici un cas typique de digression, aurais-je dû m'abstenir ou ouvrir un autre fil de discussion pour commenter sur le pilotage d'un cerf-volant avec antenne HF en remorque ?) 

Bonjour Jacques,
je comprends ton interrogation! Dans ce cas présent, je crois qu'il ne s'agit que d'un commentaire succinct très intéressant démontrant ton expérience qui est directement en lien avec la vidéo que j'ai publié. Par contre, comme tu comprends le principe d'un forum, afin de faciliter l'organisation de l'informations et de la retrouver facilement ultérieurement (c'est l'objectif premier), s'il y a à discuter plus techniquement et à développer, je crois qu'il serait plus opportun de créer un sujet dans la section appropriée afin que d'autres en bénéficient plus tard...

Pierre (VE2PID), a eu l'initiative de créer un sujet suite à cette publication concernant les "antennes cerf-volant". Suivre le lien: Antennes cerf-volant. pour en discuter plus en longueur.

Merci!

Tout les goûts sont dans la nature!

Pierre, merci de me contacter en privé quand tes commentaires ou recommandations ne sont pas en lien avec le sujet du ''post'' au lieu de polluer le fil.

Merci de ta compréhension!

Episode 5 (TXF005)




TX date 25th September 2014

AMSAT UK - Colloqium
In this episode Bob McCreadie reports from the recent AMSAT-UK Colloquium, held at the Holiday Inn in Guilford across a whole weekend in July.

The event begins on the Friday afternoon and over the whole weekend there are around 16 presentations on Amateur Satellites and space-related projects, the AMSAT Shop is also a very popular attraction.

It's not just open to AMSAT members but to anyone interested in the fascinating subject of amateur satellites and communicating through them. It attracts delegates from all over the world and provides a unique opportunity to meet some of the people who've designed and built the satellites as well as those who use them.

This year the event ran from the 25th to the 27th of July.

To find out more about AMSAT visit www.amsat-uk.org. Where you'll find lots of information there to help you get started with satellites as well as the latest developments in amateur space communication. There is also an excellent RSGB Produced PDF document called Getting Started on Amateur Satellites available here

SuperAntenna Superstick delux package
The Super Antenna MP1 DLX Deluxe package was kindly loaned by Martin Lynch and Sons Ltd andincludes

Model MP1DLX - Advertised as 80m to 2m , although the instructions do suggest it also works on 70cms, although we haven't tried it!
The kit also includes the TM2 Tripod, the Weight Bag, the UM2Universal Mount, the GB1 Go Bag, the FG1 Frequency Guide, the MR2010 Counterpoise and the MC 80 Coil for 80M.

During our portable test at Ham Hill in Somerset we couldn't achieve a better than 2 to 1 SWR on 40m, but easily achieved lower readings on the higher frequency bands.

The counterpoise kit that came with the antenna was the MR2010 which is a tuned radial set for 20m through to 10m although it will work down to 7MHz when ground coupled. This explains why the SWR was so much better on 20m!

There is an optional tuned counterpoise kit available specifically for 40m through to 20m (the MR2040) as well as the MR8060 for 80m and 60m and the MR1710 for 17m through to 10m.

There is even a MR642 kit for 6m through to 70cms. Presumably using the specific kit for the band in use will improve the SWR and antenna efficiency.

As this is a relatively small antenna on all of the HF bands it's a compromise antenna, so you're sacrificing the efficiency of larger resonant antennas for lightweight portability. You'll find, particularly on the lower HF bands, that running more power will help you break through on the noisy bands that many operators experience at their home QTH.

When out portable you have the advantage on receive of getting away from the man-made noise. We found we could copy plenty of stations from all around Europe on 7MHz and even with just 5 Watts from the FT-817 managed Several QSOs

The school station comprises:
Antenna: 6-Band Hexbeam by Ant MW0JZE - Yaesu G-1000DXC Rotator, Trapped Dipole for 80/40 Metres, Colinears for VHF and APRS (All 60 feet above ground on School roof)

APRS: We are also equipped with an APRS transmitter, a Navico AMR-1000, using a PacComm Tiny 2 Mk2 Packet card. The APRS is located in the School Shack, and is active when we are on air.

The outdoor feature equipment was:
Yaesu FT-857, Bandhopper Dipole, 2 metre Yagi, and guying system by SOTABeams UK, MFJ-971 Tuner, Honda IC 2.0 Petrol Generator, PowerMite PSU.
