This morning I checked into both nets on 7268 Lower Side Band (LSB) - The Waterway Cruising Club http://www.waterwayradio.net and the (Fridays only) WRCC Computer Net.

I also happened to find the following on their web site:

http://www.waterwayradio.net/sbfall07.htm

* There was a section on that page with Gordon West talking about issues with the Icom IC-M802 Marine SSB/HF Radio. (Remember: I posted on here earlier that I have the programming cable and software to program IC-M802 Radios - if anyone on boats needs changes made

Icom SSB Cut-Out Cure: Gordon West

 For about $1995, the ICOM M-802 marine single sideband transceiver includes full Digital Selective Calling (DSC) emergency, red button capability, with a simple tie-in to an on board GPS data stream, and a digital signal processor chip designed for operating email.

Email providers like marine SailMail and ham radio AirMail require an additional external $999 modem, allowing the equipment to run Pactor III signaling to send and receive emails all over the world. For ham radio buffs, we were delighted to see a straight forward, three button maneuver to engage ham radio transmit capability.

From the beginning, I detected the M-802 as feeble on average voice transmit output. Close talking the noise canceling mike and raising your voice would help. Also, a peculiar cut out problem was associated with running the radio on certain bands. This clipping problem was at first attributed to a likely intermittent antenna connection to the backstay, or a ground fault somewhere in the bilge ground foil run.

SailMail expert Shea Weston and I conducted bench tests with our own ICOM high frequency base station systems, and the fault would regularly occur on the equipment we tested when the standing wave ratio (reflected power from the tuner) exceeded 1.8:1 – a modest “backwash” of RF energy, not resolved by the ICOM AT-140 antenna tuner input circuitry.

The automatic antenna tuner will snap in various amounts of coils and fixed capacitors in an L match network to present the radio with the lowest SWR possible. Most radio experts agree that modern relay switching automatic tuners are miraculous in all they can do, but cannot necessarily achieve the absolute lowest SWR if the internal coils and capacitors don’t add up to the right combination. Anything BELOW 1.8:1 would be ideal, and readings of 2:1 only resulting in a 12% return of reflected power well within reason for a broad band radio.

The ICOM M-802 has a built-in SWR protection circuit that will activate instantly at around 1.8:1, resulting in clipping out the transmitter for VSWR protection, then instantly coming back at the higher power level. This makes the cut out extremely noticeable and aggravating to the receiving stations. Because every vessel installation has unknown sea water grounding potentials and unknown backstay and lead in lengths, the automatic tuner, with thousands of relay combinations of inductance (L) and capacitance (C), won’t necessarily bring every single frequency on any one band down to a perfect 1:1. If it could, there would be no “ICOM clipper” problems! Here is your cure:
Step 1: Many mariners report NO problems with clipping. Run some radio tests with fellow sailors, and see if you are loud and clear. If you are, on all of the ship to ship channels, and ham channels if you are licensed, do nothing. Your system is probably fine.

Step 2: Oh, they say you are cutting out on a specific band? If your installation is older, start replacing antenna lead in wires and upgrade your ground system. If the clipping stops, you obviously fixed an intermittent antenna or ground conductor.

Step 3: If your installation is prime and everybody screams at you that you are breaking up on 4 MHz or 8MHz, or ham 7 MHZ or ham 14 MHz, resign yourself to getting a quick factory fix. All they need is the black box. When you get your radio back from this free modification, courtesy of ICOM America, you should be impressed with the terrific signal reports you will be receiving over the SSB airwaves.

(Alan’s Note: Yah, terrific signal reports *if* you get the Voice Compression turned back on in your ICOM IC-M802 Radio. It is now disabled by default.)

END-OF-LOG:

* All call signs can be looked up on qrz.com. I think I did OK for a rookie in SSB contesting. I probably won’t be winning any awards for this effort, it was a casual effort going in, decided to file it anyway with the ARRL. I would like to thank HEIL SOUND for making the HM-10 Dual Microphone and TL-2T Boom with both the HC-4 “DX Dream Machine” element and the HC-5 full-range element, and Kenwood for making the TS-480SAT 160m - 6m HF Transceiver (100 watts out of the box.) Also the antenna by Hustler - 6BTV - 6 band vertical. Ground mounted, some sodium bentonite (improves grounding), and some ground radials.

ARRL SSB HF Radio Contest

A March Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) Single Sideband (SSB) Contest, described on this page: http://www.radio-sport.net/arrlssb10_pre.htm is really heating up the airwaves. Even giving the commercial shortwave radio stations a run for their money. Contacts to all over are occurring. 40 meters (7 Mhz band) has been hopping all day and night. As night fell on the east coast of the US 75/80 meters was buzzing as well with contest stations. You really get to see how congested the ham bands can get, when such a contest is going on.

The ARRL DX SSB Contest runs 48 hours from 0000z March 6 to 2400z March 7.

Alan Spicer, KA4UDX, has been participating a bit in this contesting. I’ve worked Spain, St. Maarten, Turks and Caicos Island, Hawaii, and more since yesterday. It’s a good time to make some DX contacts. It’s also very good for your geography knowledge of the world. I recorded a video … hopefully it’s not too long for Youtube. It takes a long time to upload a 10 minute video which is 100’s of megabytes. Note the March totals below, most of that was in the SSB contesting contacts.

I was just talking on the phone with a long time friend from my Navy days aboard USS Recovery ARS-43, Bill Lockwood. Bill has Sailboat Productions - a Video Recording and Production Company. I’m going to embed one of his videos from Youtube on here. You can click through the video on my blog to get to YouTube and see his other videos, as well as contact him for any Video Recording and Productions that you might need done. Bill says the following:

Hey Alan, it’s funny I know what I do, but I do so many different things, here is what you can say about Sailboat Video Productions.

Sailboat Video Productions is a full service production company specializing in fishing videos, events, live music performances and corporate convention video’s to assist your representatives in presentation as well as video’s for your sales people for an on site presentation.

Here’s a link to the website I’ve been building today and if you go to the Video Page you will see the fishing video I was talking about, it’s in quick time around 147 meg, but at least you dont have to download divx to watch…

The space shuttle… as you can imagine… is going very fast when it re-enters the earths atmosphere. It has to have a certain amount of energy (speed) to make it back to Florida to the Kennedy Space Center to land. But not too much energy. So it makes a series of S-Turns to bleed off that energy (speed) in order to land safely. That being said, by Alan Spicer, …

Astronaut Photographs Shuttle Landing From Space
By Tariq Malik
SPACE.com Managing Editor
posted: 22 February 2010
02:21 am ET
 

When NASA’s space shuttle Endeavour landed safely on Earth Sunday night, reporters weren’t the only ones pointing cameras at the returning spaceship. An astronaut took his own snapshot of the shuttle landing from space.

Astronaut shutterbug Soichi Noguchi of Japan caught a rare view of the shuttle landing from space as the orbiter streaked through Earth’s atmosphere. His photo perch of choice: More than 200 miles (321 km) up and inside International Space Station’s brand-new Cupola, a lookout dome covered in seven windows – including a huge round one that is the largest space window ever built.

The image shows Endeavour as it is performing a so-called S-turn, one of several turns used to slow a landing space shuttle from Mach 25, the rate they fly when they enter Earth’s atmosphere.

HOUSTON - Space shuttle Endeavour touched down safely in Florida Sunday evening, beating a stormy weather forecast after delivering NASA’s last major additions to the International Space Station (ISS).

Commander George Zamka piloted Endeavour and his five crewmates to a landing at 10:20 p.m. EST (0320 Monday GMT) on NASA’s Shuttle Landing Facility runway at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

“Houston, it is great to be home,” Zamka told Mission Control. “It was a great adventure.”
