The images below show the linear free shack ready to work some interesting stations, This is a very small and simple shack space, I hope that what I have keeps me happy because unless I buy a much bigger house or build on a extension this is going to be it for some time.

http://m0tef.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
M0TEF - QRP and Amateur Radio. A blog about my QRP activity and other amateur radio interests. Sunday, 26 January 2014. QRP contacts, DX and local QRM. I have been really busy recently with a mixture of work and family life. It is great to have a hobby but sometimes other things just stand in the way. This weekend however I got a sneaky few hours to visit a local radio rally to sniff out some bargains and then an hour or so to fire up the radio in peace. Wednesday, 8 January 2014.

Jottings on Amateur Radio: March 2014
http://photohamrad.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Jottings on Amateur Radio. Saturday, 15 March 2014. Multi-function AD9850 MEPT with WSPR, QRSS and Sequential Multi-Tone Hellschreiber (GPS and ntp versions). My QRSS and SMT-Hell signals received by the PA9QV grabber on 40m. Building on my Arduino and AD9850 powered WSPR transmitter. I have extended the code to also transmit QRSS CW and Sequential Multi-tone Hellschreiber. The three modes are transmitted in sequence, although WSPR takes precedence. The tx cycle is something like this:. Create the WSPR t...

M0TEF - QRP and Amateur Radio. A blog about my QRP activity and other amateur radio interests. Monday, 21 April 2014. A long break and some QRP fun. It has been a while since the pressure of modern life, a demanding job and a young family have allowed me to do much radio let alone blogging. I thought it was about time I updated and put some information online. Paolo very kindly sent his QSL card, many thanks Paolo. Below you can see my setup in the garden. Many thanks to anyone that has worked me and you...

http://photohamrad.blogspot.com/2014/12/2014-goals-update.html
Jottings on Amateur Radio. Monday, 22 December 2014. Earlier this year I wrote about my thirty years. As a radio amateur. I created a to do list, here's how I got on:. Have a JT65B QSO - I have completed quite a few contacts on 10W, mainly on 17m, it is amazing how far low power can reach as I have made contacts from Japan to South America. Run WSPR to test antenna configurations - I have used WSPR to check out antennas as I have made changes. Receive QRSS signals - Done, see here. Picture of the video o...

The HackRF One has a bandwidth capability of up to 20MHz, consequently it is easier to configure to avoid pager transmission interference. Picture of t...

Jottings on Amateur Radio. Monday, 18 August 2014. FreeDV - open source digital voice. I had been sceptical of digital voice modes as the standards supported by the major manufactures are all proprietary. This will lead to competing 'standards' along the lines of Betamax vs VHS where early adopters are the losers. Recently I became aware of an open source standard which will work on existing pc's called FreeDV. Alsamixer setup for the internal sound card used for the audio input from radio to computer (u...
