Music: Bensound: bensound.com/royalty-free-music Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.comIonospheric Propagation on 50MHz | 6 Meters the Magic BandHam Radio DX2022-10-21 | It’s called “the magic band”. Propagation of 50MHz signals over long distances is supported by serendipitous opportunities that arise in the ionosphere, in both the E and F regions. Those opportunities may be anticipated, but cannot be reliably forecast. You’ve gotta be there when they happen! Then, it’s magic.
Roger VK2ZRH will be covering the characteristics of ionospheric sporadic-E propagation (Es), trans equatorial propagation (TEP), and ionospheric F2 propagation. He has extensive experience in this area having previously worked for the IPS Space Weather Services Research / Engineering branch.
This presentation is also very timely with some of the early 50MHz openings to Japan occurring just this week, right at the start of the summer 50MHz DX season.

Music: Bensound: bensound.com/royalty-free-music Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.comHow to Call CQ for the FIRST Time on Ham RadioHam Radio DX2022-10-20 | To start a contact, the best way is to call "CQ". A CQ is a general call to get a random contact.
Before calling CQ, listen to find a clear frequency. If the frequency seems clear, ask if the frequency is in use. If nobody replies, you’re clear to call. Keep your CQ very short. If no one answers, call again. If you call CQ three or four times and don’t get a response, try another frequency.

Music: Bensound: bensound.com/royalty-free-music Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.comThe Basics of Getting Started with UHF CB RadioHam Radio DX2022-09-08 | This is a FREE completely unlicensed radio service available to everyone in Australia and New Zealand!
It's called UHF CB, but "how much range does it have"?
The GME TX features class-leading 5 watt transmission power, an IP67 ingress-protection rating for outstanding performance and years of reliable use in the harshest Australian environments.
These radios are serious equipment for users who demand the ultimate in handheld UHF CB communication, for both work and play.
**Video Update** The comparison in regards to loss was between LMR cable (solid core) and stranded core cable (Hyperflex 10).
Generally all solid conductors have better attenuations, the fact that Hyperflex 10 has equal performance is an incredible achievement considering it is much more flexible. Also - Hyperflex 5 has full copper screening - not copper clad aluminium.
If you want to have the highest quality and top performance coaxial cable for your station - check out Messi and Paoloni.

About the Remembrance Day Contest: https://www.wia.org.au/members/contests/rdcontest/
This contest commemorates the Amateurs who died during World War II and is designed to encourage friendly participation and help improve the operating skills of participants. It is held on the weekend closest to the 15th August, the date on which hostilities ceased in the southwest Pacific area.
A perpetual trophy is awarded annually to the Australian state or territory with the best performance. The name of the winning State or Territory is inscribed on the trophy, and that State or Territory then holds the trophy for 12 months. The winning State or Territory is also given a certificate, as are leading entrants.
