KNOWN DATV DX Records now on BATC wiki

Post by KenW6HHC » Tue Jun 21, 2016 8:39 pm

I just finished placing the KNOWN DATV DX Records list onto the BATC_wiki page. The wiki page can be found at https://wiki.batc.tv/BATC_Wiki and the DX Records can be found as one of the OPERATING pages. This newly revised DX list added these recent QSO’s:

* 2 Meter RB-DATV QSO of G8GTZ and G8GKQ on 2016-05-07 (148 KM)
* 2 Meter RB-DATV QSO of GW8VPG and G8GKQ on 2016-06-11 (121 KM)
* 70 CM RB-DATV QSO of G8GTZ and F9ZG on 2016-06-12 (235 KM)

It is interesting to me that for using reduced Symbol Rates (to reduce RF bandwidth)...the 2M RB-DATV hams have found that H.264 video encoding provides a smoother/better video...because the smaller buffer size allowed in H.264 works better than the standard MPEG-2 (aka H.262) as a payload video with DVB-S protocol.
