Hello Randall,
We only have ground wave propagation on 10m right now. This means that hills and other obstructions can play a factor in which stations you can hear. Getting your antenna higher up would probably help the most. Beyond this, a directional antenna like a yagi can help too if most of the stations that you are trying to hear are in the same general direction.
The icons that indicate which posts you have read are back as are the buttons to mark everything as read.
Our website makes use of browser caching to deliver the best possible experience to our users. As a result of the move, your web browser may have some old, stale data from our previous servers. If you see any problems when browsing n1fd.org, please take a minute to clear your browser cache and try the page again. This will often clear up temporary problems.
You will find tools to clear your browser cache in different places depending on the specific browser that you are using. The best way to find them is to google “Clear browser cache in <your browser’s name here>”. For example, if you use Chrome, google “Clear browser cache in Chrome” to find out how to clear your cache.
Our website is fully moved to a new set of faster servers and it is now stable. We had to disable the functionality that marks posts in our forums as unread so you do not need to report that this functionality has changed.
Everything else on the site should be working as it was before the move and it’s OK to post new content again.
Please report any new problems that you feel are related to the server moves to [email protected].
Thanks, everyone for your patience during our move.
We have migrated n1fd.org to new servers and the site is running OK and is a bit faster now.
We are still working on some transition issues and we recommend that you hold off creating any new posts on our blog or in our forums until we are done with the transition. We hope to be complete with these steps by sometime tomorrow. We will post an updates here as we go.
We will be migrating our website to new servers sometime this morning. We recommend that you do not create any new content (i.e. Blog posts, forum topics or replies, comments, etc.) until the migration is complete. We will post here as soon as the migration is done and n1fd.org is stable.
We are continuing to apply small improvements and cleanups in preparation for moving our site to a new set of higher scale servers. We are mostly looking for anything that may have “broken” as part of our recent changes.
If you see anything that appears to have been broken, please email us at [email protected]. Be sure to include the URL that you had a problem with as well as the details on what happened and how you got to the page/content where the problem occurred.
Thank you Hamilton and Mike for listening and watching the youTube feed. We have another contact coming up with Bishop Guertin H.S. here in Nashua, NH the week after next. I hope to have the final date and time for that one in the next day or two. I’ll post it when we do.
Hello Everyone,
The contact between the Ottawa Carleton District in Ottawa, ON, Canada, and Mike Hopkins KF5LJG, an astronaut on the ISS went well yesterday. I had the privilege of serving as the Ground Station for this contact; creating a radio link between the students asking questions and the ISS. All 17 students were able to ask their questions and receive answers from Mike.
You can watch a video of the contact here.
