ONE SIXTY METER CROSSBAND
RADIO
Stay tuned to this spot for the latest program notes
and
technical information on the regular one sixty meter crossband
transmissions
from vk3ase. Listen from 2230hrs Saturday evening till 0200hrs Sunday
morning
(Australian eastern time)on the one sixty, eighty and two
meter bands for the largest amount of bilge imaginable.The content of
these
missions range from discussions about radio,audio,computing and other
related
subjects through to social techno babble. Actually most of it is very
silly
and serves to modulate the carrier to comply with regulations.The
program
material is drawn from the extensive crossband archive going back 25
years
and the occasional live missions.
New Missions Sites on line.
After seven years of being the only crossband radio missions site on
the
web the Branch now has added a missions section to
his "Bluehaze"
server.
You will notice the high production values on this site but then Mr
Branch is a professional software putor and web person.
Also visit Mr Parkers Top
Of Your Dial page for more updated information and links to his
other
sites.
And there is yet another site about 160 meters in Melbourne this time
it's the long running Coffee
Break at 11am.
HOW TO LISTEN IN. (Via
rf steam radio)
VHF. 147.475 Mhz fm.
If you reside within about 100Km from Melbourne you
should
be able to receive the VHF service on any scanner or two meter
transceiver
using just an simple antenna or hand held equipment. For a gain antenna
or elevated installation the range will be much increased.
ONE SIXTY METERS. 1850 Khz am. Or 1865 Khz am (more
on this)
It's more fun to listen on one sixty but some people do
have
trouble with television line buzz or mains ference not to mention
computers
and electrical equipment. An out door antenna or better still a
directional
loop can often solve the problem.
The
ground wave should extend over the metro area and beyond but there is a
zone between 50 to 150 Km where the signals are often very week due to
the fact that the ground wave has dissipated and the sky wave is non
existent
or has heavy fading. Depending on conditions the skywave reception may
be quite good interstate.
Learn how to convertAM
broadcast radios to receive one sixty meters.
EIGHTY METERS. 3670 Khz Lower Sideband.
This service to the inland and the islands should have
good
coverage over most of the Australian area, however it is very dependent
on atmospheric conditions.

NOW ON SKYPE
During broadcast time we will be (possibly) on line, just search for
vk3ase in skype and you to can join in on the
big missions and become a big nality (personality that is ) and
be broadcast around the nation on short wave.
What the hell is Skype?. It is the latest in voice over ip and is free
and works very well, give it a try.
Do a Google search for it. If you have shares in Telstra get rid
of them, this spells the end of telephone companys.
