February 1, 2024 Club Meeting
Thursday, February 1, 2024 at 7:00 PM Medford Police Department Community Room, 219 S. Ivy St., Medford, OR
Program: Kiwi SDR + DX and Propagation Spotting networks, Scott Cummings, NA7OM; 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Tom McDermott, N5EG
We have two shorter programs this month—the first is on DX spotting using the Kiwi SDR. This is a network of spotting receivers that automatically post sports to various DX clusters.
The second program is on 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The cost of 10 GbE has declined rapidly in the last couple years, and is now readily available and practical for the home network. However 10 GbE has some differences compared to 1 GbE.
The Kiwi SDR receiver is a low cost HF Software Define Radio. A network of these has been deployed to collect HF amateur radio signals, decode them, and send the spots to various on-line databases in real time. These are generally known as spotting sites, DX clusters, Propagation reporting sites, and others.
10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) has declined in cost dramatically over the last few years making it practical in the home network, and for amateur radio applications. For example, a single channel HF digital radio produces about 2 gigabits/second of data, and a dual-channel radio about 4 gigabits/second. This exceeds the capacity of a 1 GbE link. 10 GbE find use in SDR, in home video editing, and in more performant data backup and file copying.
