This mornings test on 30. The results really show the

I am going to temporarily repurpose my 60 meter A PRS receiving
system (which has seen no traffic except when I announce an
experiment) to 40 meters, so that you can see what I am hearing
on 40 meters here in the midwest, ? on my UIwebserver.?? [The 30
and 60 meter igates/webservers use a pair of Yaesu FT-891
transceivers. ]
The 60-meters APRS web server has now been moved to 40 meters.
You can see it at

Disregard the stuff at the top of the page about 60 meters
operation. The radio and related software is now operating at
??? 7083.50 KHz? USB
Again, this us using a 105' G5RV dipole sloping downhill from
about 45 feet to 20 feet toward the west from Haslett (central
Michigan near East Lansing, MI).?? And a Yaesu FT-891 with about
60 watts? peak output.??
At the moment, this is a RECEIVE-ONLY igate since it was
originally on 60-meters where automatic transmission is
prohibited.? The "sound card interface" is just a patch cord with
a small audio transformer in line. If I decide to keep this setup
on 40 meters, I will build another full RX/TX interface with PTT
control. ?
