C4FM on Venture Overland TG31655

The 20m band finally opened up for me here at my QTH With two contacts made to South Africa! It's rare that I get this path down to SA, at 10,252 miles away. We all know how spontaneous the HF bands can be! And, I worked them with 60 watts. 🙂

I'm is too hot out today so I thought some iced tea and my new book on The Isles by Norman Davies. Add some DMR in Scotland and Wales and it's a Celtic Fest! 😅

It's an Icom kind of Friday! Due to a major heatwave here, I'll stick with FT8 and ssb/CW on 20m and 40m on HF and some Dstar on the HT.

Some Venture Overland on the local K7KSN DMR repeater during the drive in! TG 31655 on DMR and also through Dstar, C4FM, P25, Wires X and others.

The Dstar system is still going strong and works very well! This morning I'm using the Icom ID-51A plus 2 and my iPad for some DPRS and Venture Overland. Still my favourite talk group on TG31655 DMR and XLX303H on Fusion/C4FM.

Borrowed an Unun to check out some EFHW random wire sets I cut. So far I have a 33' and a 66' ready to go. Once I get a feel for how the G90 works with this set up, I'll buy an unun and have my own. Or build some dipoles with baluns. A fun antenna summer ahead!

After hours of work and a reprogramming of radios, an Openspot and code plugs for two Anytone 878's, I have successfully entered the realm of TGIF! I also applied for and was given my own Talk Group on TGIF! Classical Music is now on Talk Group 1860.

As much as I'd LOVE to invest in a Uniden SDS200 (bottom photo), the scanners I have do an admirable job! Current line up are the Uniden Bcd996t and Uniden BCD-436 handheld. Someday I'll get that SDS200!

Some APRS fun with the Kenwood D74! With this HT and the D75, one can add objects to the map with the GPS coordinates. I've added my workplace and FT Vancouver. One can also add vehicle accidents, road closures, etc as a temp object.

HT of the Day is the TYT trì Band 350 with some @kickinghorsecoffee and some @dxengineering reading! So many goodies I'd love!

Pitcairn Island is FINALLY in the log book! As working them on SSB is not possible, I was able to use FT4 and complete the contact! I've been chasing this station for a few years and am so glad to have them in the books!

Some experimentation with a new 900 MHz yagi beam. Tried both DMR and FM with very little change on the former, and decent change on FM. The distance to the repeaters is around twelve miles and 900 mhz (33cm) can vary.

Sad to hear of the passing of Bob Heil this morning at age 83. You will be missed for sure! I've been using Heil accessories for almost forty years now!
