Anyone copying this one currently?

Back in safe mode with "S" right now.

Windy doing well with the Sedona Kiwi.
11.x battery voltage and 97F at 6:30 PM :-)
Owens Valley is cooling off.

Good copy on the H beacon on the Sedona Kiwi SDR. Nice signal!

Seeing that too (via KFS Kiwi)
Glad it's back even in safe mode.

Making it into the KFS SDR at 2334 Z....
6700 quite strong into same.
Even with marginal prop today!

E season *was* pretty good this year!
Hope to hear some new beacons this fall ....and or some old favorites.

Will keep listening too!
You might look at the Epson programmable oscillators. $4 programmed to your frequency and 4mW out according to my measurements.
Will turn the beam your way

That's a nice looking build BUT I think you'll find that getting enough frequency stability for good HELL images is going to be tricky .
BTW, design might have worked fine with a resonant antenna rather than random/long wire. Feed it into a dipole and I bet it's happy!

SDR - Software Defined Radio / Re: Chinesium "msi sdr" (Blue dolphin)
« on: July 02, 2020, 1401 UTC »
Messed with this last night and this morning and I'm satisfied with the performance. It's a RSP1A in performance (I have one to compare against). For $45 bucks it's a keeper. Listening to CW on 40M this morning. \\

Indeed.... pride of China. The other one I got doesn't rattle. The guy who's in charge of making sure they rattle must have missed that one.
So far, I'm pleased. I'm running the new openwebrx and though I won't declare victory from images until I take a peek at the low end of 40M this evening.

is the link. I can never remember how to post images on this board. If you zoom in there, you can see a fair amount of detail in the waterfall.
Anyway, it's pretty decent. I'll wring it out some more this evening. I can already tell it's much better than the RTL-SDR, and it should, as it's got 4 more sampling bits to work with than the cheap dongle. This one is a semi-cheap dongle ~$45 delivered from an EBAY reseller. It's a few more bucks to get the throw-away pigtail and vertical antenna.
More later, but good stuff so far. It "chooses to identify" as a RSP1 (or 2) as far as defining it in a configuration file.

Thanks for the code. I'll see if I can port it to an ATtiny.
I have those running now with QRSS code. 2mA ......
