Dimitri freelances as a cameraman for Television stations. On his spare of time he also takes computer troubleshooting jobs (Microsoft Windows, DOS and IBM OS/2). Hobbies include HAM, CB, Aviation (Real Flight) and Virtual Aviation (Flight Simulation with Virtual Air Traffic Control). Professionally, Dimitri is an accredited member of the press as a photojournalist for major Canadian and International news wires, as such, from time to time, you might see first hand his news photos transmitted via Slow Scan TV to other Radio Amateurs.
When flying, you may hear Captain VE2OOX on 118.4 MHz, 119.9 MHz or 126.7 MHz talking to Air Traffic Control.
- Experiment with Wideband AM, Stereo AM, E-SSB and Hi-Fi SSB;
- Experiment with High Peak-to-Average Asymetrical Modulation techniques for Broadcast applications (dummy load, off-air obviously as posive peak can go as high as +125%!);
- Experiment with FM sub-carrier multiplex audio/data;
- Experiment with NTSC SD and HD ATV transmissions;
- Experiment with Satellite communications;
- Experiment with Hi-Fi audio on narrowband frequencies using various companding techniques;
- Diplex an HF Transceiver with existing 800' Medium Wave broadcast vertical tower array and see where we can shoot... (The reception part would be figured once on site... Perhaps, this would involve momentarily disconnecting the RCA BTA-50H 50kW transmitter "for maintenance". After all who listens to imported syndicated shows in the middle of the night???)
