NOTOM 001: THE RETURN

A new (old) ham radio blog

 I have decided to bring back the NOTOM section after more than two years. The idea popped into my head while I was operating from the Amazon jungle with the callsign OA9DVK. NOTOM is my take on the well-known NOTAMs in aviation – it stands for Notice To OM and is just a collection of thoughts, ideas, and feelings to help you get to know more about who I am and what I do.

I’m not running a power station – I am a ‘little pistol’ with a big passion for radio and DXing. I had the privilege of operating from Peru for eight years, lately with a Peruvian callsign. Being on the ‘other side of the pileup,’ with the whole world calling you, was amazing. It taught me a lot and helped me grow. Now, I make the most of the modest setup I have.

The love of radio doesn’t depend on where you are; it comes from the heart. My heart still races every time I turn on the radio and tune in to a station. I hope this section doesn’t bore you. Wishing you all the best, good DX, and lots of happiness.

NOTOM 009: The Ugly Duckling and the Eureka Moment: MULTIPSK

Image
  What characteristics should a radio software have? It should be: beautiful, organized, ergonomic, with a fast learning curve, comprehensive, versatile, able to integrate with other programs, trendy, and, most importantly, social. Well, if these are the requirements for having software on your PC that looks great on your screen… MULTIPSK shouldn’t even be considered. This program uses an outdated interface, and there’s an apparent lack of organization both in the settings screen and in the digital modes menu. You need to study, study, and study some more to use it effectively. Moreover, it doesn’t have its own built-in CAT system. To use it properly and manage your radio, you can rely on the excellent (though rather old) Commander by DXLab. The first few times you run the program… well… you feel a bit lost. Let’s say that, from a superficial and aesthetic point of view, this program might seem like one to discard. But is that really the case? My interest in this program began some...

NOTOM 011 LOG4OM: The gem of logging software

Image
  In every ham radio operator's journey, there comes a crossroads: should I stick with my trusty paper log or switch to dedicated logging software? It's clear that transitioning to an electronic log offers advantages that simply can't be matched by our old paper companion The real dilemma is how to navigate the dozens of freeware and payware logging software options available. Which one is the best? The answer is simple: the one that best meets your needs. I've tried almost every logging software for Windows, both payware and freeware. While I found most of them quite functional, each had its strengths and weaknesses. What I was looking for was a program that offered CAT control, a solid cluster system, smooth performance even with thousands of QSOs, support for digital QSLs like LOTW and eQSL, comprehensive award tracking, and an advanced filtering system to display specific fields. I had found a decent suite, but it struggled to handle the 50,000+ QSOs in my log, taki...

NOTOM 008: KW and HAPPINESS

Image
A: how do you hear me now? B: You're S9 A: Wait... now? B: Wow! Now you're 9+20. What did you do? A: Ha ha ha, I turned on my power buddy C: hooooola hoooooola test test sorry, how do I sound? A and B: very strong 9+40 C: great thanks, I'm using hoooooollaaaa... 4.5KW. This is what happened a few nights ago on 40 meters with local stations. They didn't talk about anything but their signal. After countless tests, they were very happy, satisfied  and said goodbye. I kept  looking at the S-meter, which only showed S3 of noise.  Don't get me wrong. This post is not another one that wants to criticize power, but the correlation between happiness and power. Is happiness measured on a logarithmic scale like signal strength? To the posterity the tough sentence.. I repeat, everyone is free to use the power they deem appropriate, but my question is: what changes? If I can hear you well, what's the point of adding more power? But even if this operation is, let's say, t...
