I frequently visit both the Eham and QRZ web sites so I thought I would run a quick analysis to see which site appears more client friendly. This data is shown in a Web Performance pdf located in the data download section.

If those PCs in your shack are not running PowerShell you are missing out on a great tool. It is time to say bye to your old friend cmd.exe. I have put together a few PowerShell examples in a document called “PowerShell One.pdf” and placed it in the programs section of the Downloads area. In one example I use PowerShell to find the number of hams in my zip code using the FCC ham license database. PowerShell is the new Microsoft shell and if you like working with the command line you will love it. |

I was going thru some old stuff the other day and found a registration certificate. WPE9GXI, if you recognize this I am sure it will bring back memories for you too. If you have no idea what this is (it is NOT a call sign) then you are far younger than I.

SDR is now available for the iPad. You can download the free app at the apple site and it comes with a demo file that is not bad. They say it will work with a SoftRock? My SoftRock is still unassembled, parts are too small for me. Picture below of the unit running the demo file.

Looking for something different, give HamSphere a try www.hamsphere.com I ran across this a few weeks ago and what a slick idea. NO! I am not connected to HamSphere in any way. He does give a free trial period to see if you like it or not. I knew it was coming. |

Sorry to say, I have not found any drivers yet that work with the Icom software. Although I did manage to remove the drivers from the root USB hub (Glad this was on my test machine). FYI, should this ever happen to you remote in using remote desktop and then fix because you probably lost your directly connected mouse and perhaps your keyboard. |

Windows 7 has two tools for monitoring system performance. Task Manager and Resource Monitor, if you are running a lot of software on your system and most hams today are, you may want to know the impact of some of these apps, some are good and some are not so good. Resource Monitor is great for this, if your running Windows 7 then just type resmon in the start menu. Below is a screen print of PowerSDR and PNP (PropNet) applications running on my quad core system. If you find this interesting let me know and I will provide a small tutorial.

I have had a number of people ask what is PropNET? PropNET is a digital network where hams and SWLs report activity to the Internet. Participating stations periodically send an ID/Message and both transmitting and receiving stations report their activity to a central hub. You can call up a map and see who is hearing you and who you are hearing. You do NOT need to be a ham to participate; you can run in lurker mode and report what you are hearing. The PropNET software is free and this is open to everyone. Here is the link to the PropNET web site where you can obtain more information and the software. In the future I hope to post some simple scripts that can help analyze your PropNET data. I have been participating in PropNET for a number of years and using very low power and a bad antenna have seen catches all over the world. If you are in a restricted area or apartment you are at NO big disadvantage, these new digital modes are great at leveling the playing field. http://www.propnet.org/ Below is a screenshot of the PropNET 10 meter catches.
