Free Online Examination Study Tool

/

A new free online examination study tool has been created called RadioMentor.net

It was originally set up to help USA students prepare for their amateur radio licensing examinations, however, through their partnerships, they have now expanded their training team to cover multiple countries across the globe.

RadioMentor aims to provide all students (for free) with the resources they may require in order to successfully pass their amateur exam on the very first attempt.

In addition, RadioMentor aims to facilitate lifelong friendships between students so that they can continue learning from each other into the future well after the formal exam stages have ended.

Mock Exams

Mock examination papers are a critical tool required for any successful training class. As such RadioMentor aims to ensure that students gain as much experience as possible prior to the big day.

Online Workshops

Expert mentors and tutors are available to assist students with all of the questions you may have regarding the hobby.

Tutors

Are you currently a mentor/tutor/trainer within a local club? If so then the RadioMentor.net team would like to hear from you.

New Version of WSJT-X July 2021

/

A new version of WSJT-X, the software suite that includes FT8 and other digital protocols, has introduced a new mode, Q 65.

According to the release notes, it is designed to accommodate fast-fading signals and paths with Doppler shifts of more than a few Hertz.

"Q65 is particularly effective," the notes say, "for tropospheric scatter, rain scatter, ionospheric scatter, TEP (trans-equatorial propagation) and EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) on VHF and higher bands." It uses the same message formats and sequencing as those used in FST4, FT4, FT8 and MSK144.

Q65 is one of 11 total modes included in the latest WSJT-X package.
