Key outcomes of WRC-15 Amateur radio service gets new allocation New allocation for amateur radio service in the frequency band 5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz will maintain stable communications over various distances, especially for use when providing communications in disaster situations and for relief operations. Universal Time WRC-15 decided that further studies regarding current and potential future reference time-scales are required, including the modification of coordinated universal time (UTC) and suppressing the so-called "leap second". A report will be considered by the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2023. Until then, UTC shall continue to be applied as described in Recommendation ITU-R TF.460-6 and as maintained by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM). Last Updated: |

ads-b - the new RADAR
Realtime ADS-b receiver using an RTL DVB-T dongle connected to a 'homebrew' colinear aerial at one end and a Raspberry Pi at the other reveals aircraft tracks over South Eastern England and beyond. (Click on an aircraft icon on the map or its ID in the list to highlight the aircraft track) Sure, it's not FlightRadar24 but it shows what can be done with (someone else's) clever programming and simple equipment. |

Tucnak2 VHF Contest Logger for the Raspberry Pi
Every other Special Interest Group seems to be promoting the (ARM-based, credit card sized, Linux computer) Raspberry Pi, so why should HamRadio Contesting miss out? There's a Quicklink in the Software Utilities section (to the right) to download my .deb build of Tucnak-2 v2.48 for the Pi. |

Tucnak Contest Logger now supports RSGB Multiplier Contests 'Out of the box'
The Tucnak Contest Logger Version 2.25 is now available as a Debian (.deb) install package via the Tucnak Wiki (click on the Penguin!). This version supports all RSGB Multiplier contests through the "wizard" contest setup screens. Tucnak is an all new (linux) Contest logger that features keystroke and entry compatibility with the venerable (DOS) contest logger, TACLog, plus a host of additional features - including HF! (A windows-capable version using the Cygwin libraries is also available (but has some limitations in feature-set)). Colchester Contest Group will be deploying this logger universally during 2009; implementing a mix of Linux and Windows versions. Check it out via the M1CRO website page that has links to other Tucnak resources. |

RSGB Contest Calendar 2008
Last year, in an idle moment, while waiting for a (delayed) aircraft with a free W-Lan available, I made a stand-alone RSGB Contest Calendar in MS Outlook 2003. This year I note that Pete (G4CLA) has gone one better and produced both iCAL and Google calander formats that can be acquired via the vhf contest website "Calendar" page: http://www.vhfcc.org. The 2007 version is still available from the links if you want to add 2008 to it yourself. CU in the contest. (Unless we get blown away!) |

It unzips to 265KB and can be placed anywhere you like in your filesystem and loaded (while in the Calendar view) from the Outlook Main menu: File | Open | Outlook Datafile.

www.n1bug.net - N1BUG website Mirror
It is with great pleasure that I am able to provide a mirror of the "N1BUG Web" - the website of Paul, N1BUG. The site was mirrored just before being 'taken off the air' in late 2005 and has been archived since. This mirror enjoys full permission from the author and is being maintained to provide interest and encouragement to aspirational EMEers and hardened veterans alike. I have updated a few web-links (to maintain currency) and obfuscated a few email addresses (to deter spammers) but apart from that, the site is as-was. 'enjoy Last Updated: 03 August 2006

WSJT EME Echos on 432MHz. Finally! :-))
Well, Yes! I did it all wrong. No RIT set in WSJT (but I had RIT set for Doppler on the Wireless, at least) FT-847 + K2RIW (loafing) + LNA + 4x21. I swear I could ~hear~ some of the pings! Once I can get the WSJT Software stable on the contest PC, do look for me around 432.044 (I think that's where they say to test...?) |

Renewing the "M1CRO/P Website" The original site at http://www.m1cro.org.uk is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. In order to improve 'currency' I have replicated that site here for the moment (the original site remains at the original address (for posterity!)) The intention is to rebuild/redesign the M1CRO site over time. But first it is important to get things up-to-date. I will post recent Results and awards in due course and improve some of the linking. The original site will be given a new front page providing the option to continue in the 2002 time warp or to be redirected here for the more recent version. As this moment (April 2003) there are no changes. |

Code Red Propagators 2003/11/10 :: So! 'CodeRed' appears to be over. There have been no attacks detected for the whole of October and November. Of course the majority of these were the robotic activities of the worm's invasion of innocent Windows machines connected to an aDSL line, without a firewall. Regrettably things never really get better - its simply a case of moving on to block the next attack flavour. MIME worms and of course the MSBlast virus and its variants are currently in favour with the 'black hats'. Beware. 2003/09/01 :: Its getting better! Since first publishing this page, the incidence of 'Code Red' attacks has fallen considerably. The message from here and other sites is evidently getting through. That's the good news! There are still too many remaining though, IMHO. If your IP address is listed here, please review my original posting (below) and take the appropriate action. You might be interested in checking the previous month's listings:
Original postingI'm getting increasingly cross about the increasing (!) number of Code Red attacks I am seeing in my web logs. I am also starting to get suspicious.The bulletins about the Worm and the way to patch it on MS-IIS systems are almost impossible to miss! Perhaps there are hosts in this list that are deliberately harbouring the infection? Is your IP address in the list? Do you know that you have 'Internet Information Server' installed? Go here, here and here. Read, Learn and apply. It is in ~your~ interest! By beaconing in this way you are wide open to other, more menacing, attacks. (First posted 2003/04/01) |
