ZL3IN Conversation Video

Here's the video of the ZL3IN c2qso.sh contact. Remember, this is just raw UDP packets over the internet, with no error correction, and you're hearing the Codec2 audio just as it was transmitted in the conversation.

    Great video! And audio too! Was that full duplex comms?

    Yes, Zilvis, the audio was duplex. With my shell script, if both sides keep 'transmit' on, it will operate duplex.

    While codec2 might be useful for general Internet comms in certain circumstances, in general I think the higher bandwidth codecs are a better idea for Echolink, etc. For hams, codec2 will shine in digital voice systems similar to D-star.

Building the AA2TX Parasitic (Or 'Passive') Lindenblad for 70cm

The AA2TX parasitic lindenblad, which was published in Feb 2010 QST (and has been available online for some time), is proving to be an enjoyable project. I have modified some components because I could not find them here in Atlantic Canada. The #8 aluminum wire for the passive elements is not in our big box stores (different wiring regulations?), and the PVC ferrules require a special order, at least at this point in the year, when no sane person would be installing eavestroughing. So I made do with what I had, and the results are encouraging.
