Das Ganze versteht sich als eine nerdige Herausforderung an Leute, denen so etwas Spass macht. So laesst sich der "Frequency Measure- ment Test"(FMT) zusammenfassen, den die ARRL zweimal im Jahr veranstaltet. Bald ist es wieder soweit: In der naechsten Woche am Freitag, am 7. Novem- ber, findet der naechste FMT statt, in aller Fruehe von 02:30 bis 03:21 UTC. Die aus unserer Sicht unangenehm naechtliche Uhrzeit erhoeht immerhin die Chance, dass die 40-m- und 80-m-Signale aus den USA in Deutschland ueberhaupt zu hoeren sind. Weitere Details hat die FMT-Webseite [1]. Wie ein normaler Transceiver aufs Hertz genau kalibriert werden kann, be- schreibt ein CQ DL-Artikel aus dem Heft 8/24, der inzwischen im Blog des Autors, DJ3EI, verfuegbar ist [2], auch in englischer Uebersetzung.
