By C.W. Thompson, K4HC
In working HF contacts, especially DX contacts, one of the first things (and often the second and third thing, as well) people are told to do is to LISTEN. It seems obvious that in order […]

Scott Toth wrote a new post, Audio Basics for Hams, Part 6 – All About EQ 8 years, 8 months ago
Now that you have a good grasp on audio routing, it’s time to move onto a more subjective topic, but one that will probably be one of interest for most people: equalization. Equalization is the ability to change […]

Scott Toth replied to the topic Complete Rewire 1400 square foot home in the forum Technical Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
I agree with Chris- the more available capacity, the better. It might be worth having a 30 amp 110V circuit put in that could power all of your equipment in one location rather than having multiple 15 amp circuits since most of your gear is probably on the same desk. Depending on the type of work the electricians are doing and how intrusive it…[Read more]

If you’ve hung around all of the previous parts of this series, you’re probably starting to understand that getting a handle on audio is a little more complicated than plugging things up and hoping for the best. […]

Scott Toth wrote a new post, Audio Basics for Hams, Part 4 – Signal Routing 8 years, 9 months ago
While it’s perfectly fine to read each article a la carte, if you haven’t had a chance to look at the previous articles about audio basics, it would probably behoove you to go take a gander at them when you have a […]

Scott Toth wrote a new post, Audio Basics for Hams, Part 3 – Signal Chain 8 years, 9 months ago
If you’ve read through the first two installments, you’re pretty much an expert in microphones now 🙂 . I think it’s time to move up the audio path a little bit and start getting into ways you can route and […]

Mark, I’m going to send you one now. Hopefully it has what you need. It might actually have more than you want, but it could be a good place for you to start!

This week we had a great discussion on our Sunday evening Technical Forum (every Sunday at 7:30pm EST on the 145.150 W4GSO repeater, BTW!) about audio gear that we use to improve the quality of the sound we […]

A little tid bit to add – if you’re looking for the quality of the Neumann U87 but don’t have the 4k+ to drop on one, the Neumann TLM103 is about one quarter the cost of the U87 and it’s capsule is essentially the same as the U87. To boot, it’s REALLY quiet too… from a “mic noise” perspective and is used by a lot of VO industry professionals.

Scott Toth commented on the post, 13 Colonies Special Event 8 years, 10 months ago
I didn’t think I’d be able to get all of the special event stations because I had family in town for the weekend, but thankfully between using D-star to log contacts with WM3PEN and GB13COL and most stations having light traffic on Sunday evening, I got them all. Now on to the task of sending envelopes and QSL cards!

Grabbed all 15 on day one. Had to wait for Rhode Island to come back on in the afternoon, and then wait a while for propagation to change on 40m. Propagation to Great Britain wasn’t so hot during the day, but seemed to improve after sunset. This is a fun one I usually do. Sometimes it pays to have the day off!
