DF (Direction Finding) Hunt
First foray into WSPR and woo hoo, someone is actually receiving my signal off the mag loop hanging from the bookshelf!
Never done anything with that mode so it looks like it is working for you. Well done
DF NIGHT -- Friday 22nd September - This Friday
Meet @ 18:30 for 19:00 start at the Car Park opposite the Dragon Way Chinese Restaurant, Port Seton
Cost: £2.00 per person for Club Funds
Map of Hunt Area is provided plus rules. Can also be found on the club website under downloads.
This is our second DF Night of 2017 around the county of East Lothian. The "fox", this time GM1PLY no doubt
will find a good hiding place and then he will transmits for 30 secs every 5 minutes starting at 19:00.
The DF Hunt finishes at 20:45 where we retire to the Thorntree Inn for the DF Hunt debrief.
Easy to find... I can assure you it is not; East Lothian throws up some strange radio transmissions which
can send you on a wild goose chase....
So do you want an evening of good fun well come along and join in. I hope you all will do.
Sorry to say I won't be back in time! Cambell will have to defend our title without me!! 😝
As long as you find the thorntree bob more important than that pesky fox
I'll be along for this one

Hi , looking for a bit of advice.. got my eye on a Yaesu FT DX 1200 and a FT 847 Earth Station .. any tips would be great . Cheers
You won't need a 1200 if you have a 847 unless you have plans for to put one away for a Spair.
No , I have no rig at the moment.. looking to buy one .. wanted advice on both these rigs . I believe you have a 1200 ? Any advice would be great 😉
Yeah nice radio,screen very informative and the filters are cool also a fue options for it also which make operating cw easy and the voice board helps for contest work. Personally the 847 dosent do it for me but that's just my opinion. Good luck in your quest for a radio .
Thanks , my head is bursting with all the info on these sets , I like the option of the FFT board for CW
Yeah I have it good luck .
Thanks
Billy, I just sold my FT847. Bought a Kenwood TS590SG in its place. 847 is a decent enough rig for providing all bands/all modes up to 70cm, but it's not a great HF radio. I had an additional SSB filter and even with that in line it still wasn't great. There is a roofing filter mod that really brings it up to spec, but it's expensive and not easy to install. In the end I just left it and went for a good spec HF radio, as I have enough other gear to get me on VHF anyway. The Yaesu ft1200 is a newer rig. Never used one but spec wise it appears decent. It's little brother - the FT450 - was used by T31C. They were standby rigs as the shipping container failed to turn up in time for their expedition. And they still managed to smash the world record for qso's made by a dx-pedition. Happy hunting.
