Anytone AT779UV
58 minutes ago
Good morning
I am looking at the AnyTone AT779UV as a mobile / mini base station, because I am not picking up much local activity in Burton.
The radio has three transmitted power levels of 5, 10 and 25w.
Would I be able to use the radio at the full 25w under a foundation licence, which is 25w maximum ?

Ofcom Callsign list
4 weeks ago
Ofcom must be getting fed up of FOI requests because they now have a list of allocated callsigns on their website which is, in theory at least, a bit easier to find than the FOI spreadsheets.
It's on https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/our-research/opendata in spectrum open data section.
Not perfect because it only includes ones that are described as Amateur radio license so it misses a ... read

Hello,
Anyone learning morse code (CW)?
I've designed and selling a little morse code trainer works with Paddle and Straight keys.
I've donated one to the NRC at Bletchley Park if you want to try it out.

VHF yagi balun
2 months ago
Yagi's don't normally need impedance matching baluns, but a 1:1 balun isolates the feed line / coax from the antenna to prevent the coax being used as part of the antenna and causing SWR issues

Hello all. I have a VHF yagi that was gifted to me. The box containing the balun was knackered and the guts had corroded so I have replaced the box but I am struggling to find a concrete answer on the best balun. Most seem to suggest a 1:1 but there are contradicting answers. Can anyone help?

if not you will ... read
