Addressed to WA5LUY..... 1)??? RSGB??? Have you not updated the symbol set for UIview???
Only the original un-updated version of the UIview? symbol set
from years ago would show RSGB.?? [Note that G4IDE (UIview's
author) passed away 20 years ago,? making UIview an unchanged
software orphan for two decades now!? I have released several
updated symbol sets since. ] 2)??? What kind of antenna are you using???????? I have been
monitoring 30M AX.25 and Vara for years and have never heard the
range of European stations shown in your UIview station list.? I
am using a homebrew 30M magloop.??????? It may also be differences
in propagation - you ARE about 600 miles (960 Km) south of me. G4HYG and I have been testing a new 30m channel for
APRS-over-VARA? (the old APRS Messenger center freq of 10.149.700
MHz)? for the last week or so. Both he and I are beaconing on this
frequency every 15 mins or so 24/7.?? [You do this channel by
setting the radio dial freq to 10.148.200 USB and
run VARA with it's normal 1500 Hz audio center tone.] ? ? I am
copying him from the north of the UK, from my QTH here in central
Michigan, quite consistently when the radio path crosses the grey
line (day/night boundary) as shown on my GeoChron or (freeware Windows software model of the
GeoChron).? When the path is all day, or all night, I don't hear
him. 3)?? It appears you have the station expiration timing in UIview
set to "Never" -- you seem to have stations heard over months
rather than just the last hour or two, or so showing.?? (On my
UIwebserver mapping displays, I have the expire set to 90 minutes
because I am trying to show more-or-less current band conditions.)
