F6KOP – DXpedition equipement stolen
DX-WORLD.NET Reports:
It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the theft of 15 years hard work. The radio club of Provin F6KOP, was “visited” last week and ALL equipment stolen. As you can see [attached file] there is a lot of important equipment gone.
This is the club that brought you TJ9PF, J5C, XT2C, 5H1C, 5V7C etc…
The insurance said, ‘Yes, you were insured, but not for theft, read the small print’. Please look at the list and if you are offered any of the equipment, contact the police (and F6KOP if possible).

Self-powered technology
As you sit there reading this story you’re surrounded by electromagnetic energy transmitted from sources such as radio and television transmitters, mobile phone networks and satellite communications systems. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have created a device that is able to scavenge this ambient energy so it can be used to power small electronic devices such as networks of wireless sensors, microprocessors and communications chips.
Manos Tentzeris, a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and his team used inkjet printing technology to combine sensors, antennas and energy scavenging capabilities on paper or flexible polymers. Presently, the team’s scavenging technology can take advantage of frequencies from FM radio to radar, a range of 100 Mhz to 15 GHz or higher. The devices capture this energy, convert it from AC to DC, and then store it in capacitors and batteries.

Yesss … JX5O in the Log
Worked today JX5O. Conditions on HF were terrible. Deep QSB and a lot’s of noise. A Big Gun’s CW pile-up from EU don’t gave me any chance to call them. But, finally I got JX5O in SSB. Below is sample of JX5O’s SSB signal on 20m. (5 or 3 minutes RS-55 and about 20 minutes – 52 or 51).

RRC-1258MkIIs Yaesu TWIN remote control
The Yaesu Twin concept is a high end concept for the serious ham who do not accept any compromise even when remote controlling his station. It was initially developed for controlling OH8X Radio Arcala which is one of the most impressive stations in the World.
The concept is simple at the same time as it is extremely powerful. You use one Yaesu radio to control the other, and you can control every single function from the controlling radio. S-meters, Power meters etc will also be replicated to the controlling radio. The concept was initially developed to be used by two Yaesu FT-5000:s, but when it’s now released to the public it will also work with FT-950, FT-2000 and FT-9000 in pairs. Combinations of them can also be used, a FT-5000 can be controlled by a FT-950, FT2000 and FT-9000 also.
There is a specially designed package for the Yaesu Twin concept, including the Yaesu Twin RRC-boxes the special firmware and all necessary cables. There is no need to open the boxes, no strapping are needed only setup of IP-addresses etc. Remember that you can use the controlling radio locally also if you switch off the RRC. The standard RRC-1258MKIIs will not support the Yaesu Twin concept.
RRC-1258MkIIs Yaesu Twin (DualRX) is a complete package with hardware and software for the Yaesu Twin Concept. Power supplys and all needed cables are included and no strapping is needed, only IP-configurations etc. Learn more on the For prices check Webshop or your nearest distributor.
Included in the package is: Control-RRC Radio-RRC
Power Supply 12V/1A (2pc)
USB cable Power cables (2 pc)
Cat 5 cable 2m (2 pc)
Mic cables (2 pc)
RS-232 cables (2 pc)
