[OFARC] Tuesday Nite Net 8:00 PM 145.17

[MLandress]

All this is the reminder for the net tonight.  Last week we had very good
participation with 32 checkins.  I used the signal reports to generate the
map sent last week. Now that I have location data set and a way to measure
the signal quality,  we want to try and get more information to better
measure signal performance.  

 

Here are the questions we are going to ask during this net session. 

 

Grid square

Location you are transmitting from (home or other)

Location inside outside building

Length and type of feedline

Antenna type (beam, vertical etc.), 

Antenna height, 

Antenna gain (if known)

Polarization (vertical or horizontal)

 

This is used to compute effective radiated power. 

 

On this end we measure the quieting level.    Then everything goes on the
map.    Other than the brute force approach, I'll be plugging this into a
program called Radio Mobile that can calculate the footprint of each
station.  Should be interesting.
