<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last weekend Unesco´s World Heritage,
Grimeton Radio in Sweden </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>(see <A
href="http://www.grimeton.org">www.grimeton.org</A> ), arranged a field day
for radio enthusiast and I was invited to put my HPSDR con-traption
consisting of Atlas, Ozy, Mercury, Penelo-pe, a recycled PA-module of
an Icom 735 and a home made ATU on display. Beside my contraption, the
local repre-sentative of Icom placed an IC 7700 and both stations were connected
through a coax-switch to the same antenna. I asked a local radio profile, SM6CSB
Harald, to operate both radios and to compare then.
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Harald stopped using the IC7700 after one
hour and continued with the HPSDR</FONT> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>for the rest of the field day because he found
the Mercury receiver to outperform </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>the
one of the IC7700. Soon there were pile ups and other hams wanted to get more
information about "the wonder radio" as they called my contraption.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Even though Internet and the e-mail reflector are
excellent means to develop HPSDR, the actual use of the radio seems to be
the best messenger to convey the good news of HPSDR to the ham
community.</FONT></DIV>
