e107radio.org
The e107radio web site is now launched.

Why has it been launched? Well, e107 is a great content management system and is ideally suited to producing many different web sites including radio based ones.

What we hope to achieve here is a forum where radio related plugins for the CMS can be showcased as well as becoming a useful radio resource for all radio enthusiasts around the world.

E107Radio and 2 plugins
Wednesday 02 May 2012 - 20:15:25
Some weeks ago became two plugins available for the E107 CMS on the E107Radio website which also has been used for this website. There is a newer version of the Logbook plugin. Father Barry made a lot of changes to this plugin. I am using still the old version here.

I made a PSKReporter plugin. When installed you are able to make some statistics visible on the screen. No, no graphics yet, but some statistical data on the screen. The receivers, the stations who heard you, the stations which has been heard by you and the countries you heard the last seven days. This plugin has a link here in the main menu on this website.

Just surf to http://e107radio.org, register and download the plugin. Feedback is always welcome.

Contact with PI9ISS (Andre Kuipers)
Tuesday 24 April 2012 - 07:25:07
Saturday April 21th. I had a brief radio contact with Andre Kuipers who is an Astronaute on the I(nternational) S(pace) S(tation). I had planned this QSO since his spaceflight was announced.

I had tried to make contact before without any result till now. Was it luck? No. The same day I had a conversation with Cor (PD0RKC) and he told me about the presleep period of every Astronaute. Presleep is just another word for free time before going to sleep.


So... I just called him Saturday the 21th. of April on 20:00 UTC and I had seen that Andre's Presleep period was cheduled from 19:30 - 21:30 UTC.

Just after 4 calls Andre came back from me and I was baffled for a moment. So I had to search for my words at first. Anyway here is the QSO.

on April 21th. 2012 20:00 UTC - own recording




PD5DP contact with PI9ISS (Andre Kuipers)
