  3.  Ham Radio Deluxe $100

Hey everyone,

I know this is not radio related, but I am in desperate need of help.

I rescued a stray dog in my neighborhood almost 3 weeks ago. He had been 
reported on next door for almost 2 weeks prior to me grabbing him. The only 
reason I grabbed him is because he almost got run over in front of my house 
while I was mowing.

Before anyone asks, yes I have reached out to the shelters and the rescue 
groups all over Texas. No one is taking in any dogs. I also had him checked for 
a micro chip, no luck.

He knows sit, rides well in a car, and is potty trained. So I am thinking he 
was someone's pet before getting dumped.

He is about 40 pounds and still very much a puppy. NO apartments, only houses 
with a decent yard or property.

If you are seriously interested in a new dog, please let me know. He is FREE to 
a good home. I have been given a crate, it goes with him.

Jimmy,

Thanks for reaching out. The BVARC reflector is a great resource for asking 
questions. You have the call sign correct (WX5KR), I'm glad to hear you are 
interested in getting involved and thank you so much for joining BVARC! 
Congratulations on your General License as well.

So as far as getting on the air, if you haven't already done so, I highly 
recommend adding the 146.940MHz repeater (offset is -600 kHz and CTCSS tone is 
167.9 Hz) to your radio. If you're having trouble with that, please give me a 
call at my number below. I can meet with you sometime this week to get you 
squared away on operating your radios. Also (if you have time) we will be 
having an event at Brazos Bend State Park on Sunday 10/23/22 which you are 
absolutely welcome to attend, and I or other folks in the group can give you 
some hands-on assistance with your rado there as well.

A good resource to find repeaters to program in your radio would be 
RepeaterBook.com. I'm sure you've taken a look at 
YouTube as well, but it's always a good spot to check for detailed information. 
We have a few other organizations you may want to look into here in the area, 
and that is ARES District 14 and District 1 (depending 
on your location). There are many public service opportunities that are 
publicized by that group and BVARC (e.g. Bike rides, the Wings Over Houston 
Airshow, the Houston Marathon etc.)

There are many nets on the 146.940MHz repeater, including the BVARC Stir-Crazy 
net weekdays at noon till we finish (usually around 1pm), we have the Monday 
Night net at 8pm, the local traffic net on Mondays at 6:30pm, Tuesdays at 7pm 
we have the QuestionAir net, and on some Wednesdays we have the ARES D14 SW 
Unit net at 8pm.

Like I said, give me a call and I can make time to meet with you about your 
radio and getting on the air. I wish you the best of luck in your ham radio 
endeavors and as we say, 73!

Hello all,
Back in 2018, I took Dr. Pat Reiff's class on the physics of HAM radio at Rice 
University as teacher professional development. I passed the technician exam 
back then. (I teach physics and astronomy at a school in Houston ISD.) Now I am 
taking the class again for credit as a graduate student at the University of 
Houston and last night I passed the general exam. I have a DMR and a handy 
talkie, both by TYT. But I am still struggling to learn how to actually make 
contacts and how to use my radios.

Dr. Pat connected to a BVARC net back in August and I made a contact with the 
operator. (If I entered the details into my QRZ logbook correctly, I made 
contact with WX5KR.) That night I joined BVARC. I also recently joined the UH 
ARC as well. But I still don't know what I am doing really. I am looking for 
advice on how to learn to use my 2 radios. As a teacher and a graduate student, 
I don't have a lot of time to attend meetings but I want to get involved in the 
community at large.

The DMR handset is a TYT model MD-UV390 with a code plug from 2018. The handy 
talkie is TYT model TH-UV88.

I am a technically competent person with a lot of knowledge about the physics 
of radio waves and lots of "computery" skills but I can't even figure out how 
to change frequencies on the TYT handy talkie. I can muddle through on the DMR 
handset but again, using the interface on the unit makes me feel clumsy and 
frustrated.

I am looking for some good resources on learning HAM stuff so I can become a 
competent user of my equipment and can make contacts. I'd like to get a home or 
car setup eventually

Hello everyone!

As you are all likely aware, Field Day is just around the corner! Taking place 
at Duhacsek Park on June 25th-26th, BVARC, KARS, and TDXS will be joining 
forces for ARRL Field Day 2022. We will be operating as many as 10 stations 
simultaneously, calling CQ, and racking up contacts. Our goal is to provide a 
fun and engaging environment for hams of all classes and those without a 
license to experience various aspects of the exciting hobby of ham radio! There 
will be food and refreshments as well.

We are looking for operators (THAT'S YOU) to run our stations and help out with 
various Bonus Point activities this year. We need many more voice (SSB) 
operators, but also CW and FT8 operators. Technician class operators CAN run 
our HF stations using the club call sign, and we will have help there to get 
you going calling CQ. We are trying to get as many points as possible, and WE 
NEED YOUR HELP! We would like to get as much coverage of our event as possible 
and are seeking anyone with connections to news media to contact us.

A Few of the Roles Needed:

  *   Voice mode operators (i.e., Single Sideband) to call CQ and log contacts
  *   Educators (folks willing to teach one or more short structured lessons on 
ham radio skills)
  *   An operator(s) to run the GOTA (Get On The Air) station to advise the new 
or unlicensed operators with the equipment there
  *   Social Media promoters (utilize social media to promote the event and 
post about the activities during the event)
  *   Experienced hams to assist new hams or unlicensed operators using the 
equipment at the main stations
  *   Help setting up equipment (radios, antennas, cabling, etc.) on Friday 
June 24th starting at noon
  *   and many more!

We will be announcing an online sign-up sheet for these roles and operating 
positions soon; keep an eye out for the email or check on 
BVARC.org in the coming days for a link.

If you have any questions or concerns send them directly to Anthony Morones 
(W5LIC) at w5li...@gmail.com, or Mike Hardwick 
(N5VCX) at n5...@att.net.

Let's get out there and GET ON THE AIR to represent Houston area hams this 
Field Day 2022. We can't wait to see you all out there, 73!

Hello everyone!

As you are all likely aware, Field Day is just around the corner! Taking place 
at Duhacsek Park on June 25th-26th, BVARC, KARS, and TDXS will be joining 
forces for ARRL Field Day 2022. We will be operating as many as 10 stations 
simultaneously, calling CQ, and racking up contacts. Our goal is to provide a 
fun and engaging environment for hams of all classes and those without a 
license to experience various aspects of the exciting hobby of ham radio! There 
will be food and refreshments as well.

We are looking for operators (THAT'S YOU) to run our stations and help out with 
various Bonus Point activities this year. We need many more voice (SSB) 
operators, but also CW and FT8 operators. Technician class operators CAN run 
our HF stations using the club call sign, and we will have help there to get 
you going calling CQ. We are trying to get as many points as possible, and WE 
NEED YOUR HELP! We would like to get as much coverage of our event as possible 
and are seeking anyone with connections to news media to contact us.

A Few of the Roles Needed:

  *   Voice mode operators (i.e., Single Sideband) to call CQ and log contacts
  *   Educators (folks willing to teach one or more short structured lessons on 
ham radio skills)
  *   An operator(s) to run the GOTA (Get On The Air) station to advise the new 
or unlicensed operators with the equipment there
  *   Social Media promoters (utilize social media to promote the event and 
post about the activities during the event)
  *   Experienced hams to assist new hams or unlicensed operators using the 
equipment at the main stations
  *   Help setting up equipment (radios, antennas, cabling, etc.) on Friday 
June 24th starting at noon
  *   and many more!

We will be announcing an online sign-up sheet for these roles and operating 
positions soon; keep an eye out for the email or check on 
BVARC.org in the coming days for a link.

If you have any questions or concerns send them directly to Anthony Morones 
(W5LIC) at w5li...@gmail.com, or Mike Hardwick 
(N5VCX) at n5...@att.net.

Let's get out there and GET ON THE AIR to represent Houston area hams this 
Field Day 2022. We can't wait to see you all out there, 73!


Where:
Duhacsek Park
17034 Old Richmond Road
Sugar Land, TX 77498
When:
June 25th-26th 2022
(From Saturday at 7am until we wrap up Sunday afternoon)

The Fan Dipole antenna, is a High Frequency (HF) antenna designed to provide a 
field- tunable resonant portable antenna for two of the most popular amateur 
radio bands. This antenna will provide long-range communication on both the 7 
and 14 MHz (40 and 20m) bands utilizing skywave propagation and short-range 
communication using Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) propagation. Due to 
the antenna’s small size and rugged construction, it is ideal for temporary 
setup at a campsite or emergency shelter and durable enough for semi-permanent 
installation at a base station - even RV sites or dense suburban housing with 
small yards should be able to accommodate this antenna. Without an antenna 
tuner, the Fan Dipole can operate on the 40 and 20m amateur radio bands. A 
wide-range antenna tuner will also enable operation on the 17, 15, 12, and 10m 
bands.

Specifications:

Frequency: 40M - 20M (NO TUNER) 17M, 15M, 12M & 10M with a wide-range antenna 
tuner.

Power: 500W SSB or 250W CW

Length: 33’ per leg for 40M and 17' per leg for 20M of Tinned Copper KEVLAR 
PTFE (Teflon) (-70°C to 150°C) wire

Weight: 2.2 Lb.

The antenna system consists of:

1 X BALUN 1:1

2 X 33' Tinned Copper KEVLAR Wire (7 MHz)

2 X 17' Tinned Copper KEVLAR Wire (14 MHz)

This product is blemished. Blemishes may include:

Watch for something like a Yaesu FT-450 or ICOM 706MKIIG on the used market

Electronic Design just offered a nice 39 page e-book about Impedance Matching.  
I know I have sent this out before, but, IMHO, worth a repeat.

To find it
 just Google --electronic design library impedance matching--

This will give you a link to part 1 PDF -- click.  Then click Series: Impedance 
Matching.  Next page click Download the "Back to Basics: Impedance Matching 
eBook" , but scroll down for the 
complete e-book link or the individual article PDF's.

Re: [BVARC] OT: Memory upgrade in Dell Latitude 5490

[Travis Burgess via BVARC]

If the computer is of recent manufacture, you will need the right tools to 
crack the laptop case open.  They are made
so that upgrading can be a bear.  I have obtained the tools so I can do the 
same with my HP Gamer.  The repair stores
want $60 to $80 for the job with the customer supplying the RAM.

Digikey is another option. Also, if you have time you can find it on AliExpress 
and wait until you receive it in about a month. Of course you have to roll the 
dice on the genuinity of the component :) However if you find a decent seller, 
it is a good way to supply parts in quantity.

Hope this helps.

Icom iC-2730A is a dual-band mobile that has all that except 6 meters.
It has dual VFO's and can easily do satellite.  With a software modification, it
is capable of cross-band-repeat.  It is fairly reasonably priced.  The control

at the far end.

I probably shouldn't be replying because I really don't know about FT450 or 
FT8.  But this question totally is befuddling to me as it doesn't say what's 
the problem. Maybe I can say one or two things that are helpful.

Here's an RS232/USB cable for $9 from 
Amazon.
  It has a male DB9 plug on one end and a USB connector on the other.   If your 
radio has a female DB9 port, then you're good, otherwise buy a DB9 gender 
changer. Googling about the FT450, it says the RS232 Port on the radio is male 
also, so you'll need a female/female DB9 gender changer... like this gender 
change for $5 on 
Amazon.

Then you'll need to install the driver software.  This can all get confusing 
with the fact that the computer will see this interface as a serial COM port, 
so you need to set up the right COM port after you plug in the cable to your 
USB on the computer.  Or maybe you got a disc with the radio and it has all the 
software needed?

And reading further about the FT450 this Yaesu radio actually labels the 
DB9 port "CAT".  Huh?  Can anybody explain what CAT stands for where it applies 
to an RS232 serial communications port?  AFAIK the term CAT is about a cable of 
multi twisted pair.  In other words CAT cable is like saying COAX cable -- it's 
not about the signals going through it or what its used for, it is about the 
physical conductor construction of the cable itself.  Or is this something 
merely lost in the Japanese/USA translation and now we have this confusing term 
CAT being misapplied.  Is it a misnomer?

Or have I been Rip Van Winkle and this word CAT is now standard and has a 
reasonable place in the vernacular, in application to what this is used for?

However that still did not work. I plugged the cable into the USB port and

Everyone - I cannot fix this problem by myself. I guess now I need to send the

Attached is the updated bonus point list. As you will see, all categories have 
been assigned, with the exception of the young operator bonus. That one will 
need to be on the fly during the event.

Subject: Field Day Bonus Points



Fellow Quad Club Mega Field Day Participants,



Field Day is a little over 1 week away. Most of the logistics have been 
accounted for, but one important category remains incomplete. The Field Day 
rules list a number of bonus activities which provide the opportunity to add 
thousands of points to our Field Day score. Many of these activities have been 
assigned, but some important ones remain. For example, 1 satellite QSO is worth 
100 points. That is equivalent to 50 SSB QSOs in our class! I’ve attached an 
excerpt from the Field Day rules with the unassigned activities highlighted in 
red (the green ones are already taken).



Please review this list and volunteer to fulfill one of these task. Not only 
will you be helping us to achieve a great contest score, but you will be 
helping to demonstrate our engagement with the community, as well as our 
capability to function in an emergency situation.



73,



Doug WB5TKI

The two things that impressed me after reading this bio of Art Collins:

   Ham radio is very important…  The early polar explorers were really  
surprised when they found that their conduit from stormy seas into public 
awareness was a kid in his atic in Cedar Rapids,IA.

   Arthur Collins was very important.   In WWII  the boys in the planes had a 
huge advantage because of their Collins radios.  He ran out of steam, got old 
and died.  If he had lasted longer we might be using a Collins operating system 
on our computers.

Re: [BVARC] Anyone have equipment to check a computer sound card

[Travis Burgess via BVARC]

You should be able to add (plugin on the motherboard) a dedicated sound card to 
your computer.
Tell the folks at Microcenter what computer you have and ask for a basic but 
good quality sound card.
Lots of information on how to install it available. Just be sure to ground the 
computer before you
open it up and ground yourself before you touch anything inside it.  Static is 
just as unhealthy for computers
as it is for radios.

Headphones do not produce sound. Have done all tests with speakers and drivers 
etc but never was able to get sound to work. I am currently using an external 
USB sound card but I really need to free up. Honestly I have done all I can. I 
need someone who could investigate. I can take it to the computer repair shop 
and pay $50 to $100 to get it fixed or I can buy a refurbished dell 660 
Inspiron for $150 to $200 but then you have the issue of copying everything 
from one computer to the other and having to redo tqsl and lotw etc so I think 
my best option might be the repair, I have run at least a dozen troubleshooting 
tests. I am not experienced enough to work on testing a sound card that is 
embedded in the mother board. The other issue is that the dxpeditions are 
running Fox and hound mode and it requires a cat cable. I have one but can’t 
use with an external sound card plugged into the USB port. So basically it 
means unless I get the internal sound to work I will not be able to work any dx 
stations on ft8 and jt65 without being able to use that cat cable. That’s about 
it thanks

My name is Ray. I was born with a congenital heart defect and had open heart 
surgery at just 8 weeks old. I was later diagnosed with a global developmental 
delay and an ultra rare gene mutation ADCY5.

This causes me to have a range of unpredictable movements that are painful, 
forceful and make my body contort in unnatural positions. They affect my entire 
body, even my larynx and my tongue!

It affects me 24 hours a day; during the daytime it restricts my mobility and 
the ability to perform simple tasks like other children. My night times are the 
worst as this is when I have my most painful movements and I am yet to 
experience a full nights sleep.

Doctors in the United State have tried lots of different drugs and tests to 
help me but so far nothing has worked. My mum and dad have found a specialist 
doctor in UK who has developed a non invasive technique in Neuroplasticity and 
he thinks he has a strong chance of reducing the frequency and intensity of my 
movements, ultimately with the outcome of giving me more independence and a 
better quality of life.

My bedroom at home is fully padded to protect me from injury but when I go away 
to UK I can not take my bedroom with me. I therefore need a specialist travel 
bed to keep me safe at night.
As always, any specialist equipment is very expensive to buy. My family have 
already come together to fund the trip but we still can't afford the travel bed.

Your gift, no matter how small, will help enable me to stay safe at night 
whilst I'm in UK. Moving forward it will also mean I can stay over in hospital 
when I need treatments and go away on family holidays like my friends do.

My mummy, daddy and i can't thank you enough for taking the time to read my 
story and any donations given will be gratefully received.

[BVARC] Regarding Supply Voltage

[Travis Burgess via BVARC]

Reprinted from TS-480 Group IO:

Re: Adjusting Output Power with JIG in Hidden Menu
From: jose maria 
trueba
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 01:17:58 PST

Exactly, and consistent with what Mike just wrote and many other hams found, 
same as my own tests. Mike could not write clearer. Any low power complaint is 
related with low voltage arriving inside the radio when many amperes try to 
flow from power supply towards the final transistors. Wattmeters either 
internal or external are not the problem, some cannot measure PEP and none are 
accurate enough compared with the measuring systems available at the 
manufacturer calibration laboratory, but meters are not our problem. Getting 
200w from a 200w radio is easy because the radio was designed, built and 
calibrated to make the job. We can be sure that no low output problem is 
because the factory did the wrong calibration. We better get good cables, good 
fuse holder, and set our decent enough power supply to the highest voltage we 
can set, although under the maximum allowed which is 15,89 or 13.8+15%, do not 
forget that around 14.4V is normally the voltage of any 12V automobile when the 
engine is on. We should forget the old 13.8 number, the 12V nominal battery 
voltage, and set our power supply to at least 14,5 Volts. Power depends on 
voltage squared, so small changes in voltage affect highly the power. The 
higher the voltage arriving at the final transistors the higher the maximum 
output power will be, and the cleanest our signal will be for any power level 
we put out. Please do not ruin factory settings instead, only to splatter other 
hams. You do not like splatters nor do I. Please... Be a good neighbor!

Wow, you sound like the technicians are  invading "your" territory. You also 
sound like you have a problem with those who got their start in the CB bands 
over 30 years ago, like me. If the FCC makes this change then those bands would 
no longer be just "general band" anymore. I'm just a "TECHNICIAN" and have been 
for almost two years and can say that the changes will not stop me from getting 
my general but will get me experience in the bands before I leap off into the 
fray. I don't think it will cause any more problems than all ready exists.  
Enforcement of current rules is what is needed, not holding operators back 
because a few have no respect for the rules.. If you want amateur radio to grow 
and not continue it's decline among younger operators then more operators need 
to get with the program and welcome changes that hopefully will do just that. 
It's not your bands, it's our bands and I respectfully disagree  with your 
statement.

Subject: [BVARC] ***SPAM*** Things I have learned about the SOUTH Merry 
Christmas

ALL




A possum is a flat animal that
sleeps in the middle of the road.




There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998
of them live in the South.


There are 10,000 types of spiders.
All 10,000 of them live in the South,
plus a couple no one's seen before.


If it grows, it'll stick ya.
If it crawls, it'll bite cha.


Onced and Twiced are words.


It is not a shopping cart,
it is a buggy!


Jawl-P? means, Did you all go
to the bathroom?


People actually grow,eat
and like okra.


Fixinto is one word. It means
I'm going to do that.


There is no such thing as lunch.
There is only dinner and then
there's supper.


Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and
you start drinking it when you're two.
We do
like a little tea with our sugar.
It is referred to as
the Wine of the South.


Backwards and forwards means I know
everything about you.


The word jeet is actually a question
meaning,
'Did you eat?'


You don't have to wear a watch, because
it doesn't matter what time it is, you work
until you're done or it's too dark to see.


You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH em.


Ya'll is singular. All ya'll is plural.


All the festivals across the state are named
after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect,
or animal.


You carry jumper cables in your car –
for your OWN car.


You only own five spices: salt, pepper,
mustard, Tabasco and ketchup.


The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 
6 pages for
local high school sports,
the motor sports, and gossip.


Everyone you meet is a Honey, Sugar,
Miss(first name) or
Mr.(first name)


You think that the first day of deer season is a
national holiday.


You know what a hissyfit is..


Fried catfish is the other white meat.


We don't need no dang
Driver's Ed. If our mama says
we can drive, we can drive!!!


You understand these jokes and forward
them to your Southern friends and those
who
just wish they were from the SOUTH.










AND one more:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To show that stupid possum that it CAN be done!

Test gear for the shack

Even if you don't build radio gear, test equipment has a wide variety of uses 
in the shack. Here at SOTABEAMS we have a fully equipped lab with all the test 
gear you could ask for but the most used bit of gear is our 
LCR45
 meter. This inexpensive unit measures resistance, capacitance and inductance. 
We use it for checking feeder cables (50 Ohm cable has a capacitance of 100pF/m 
so we can use an LCR meter to check feeder lengths. Three years ago we used to 
stock a small range of test gear from local company Peak Electronics, now that 
we have moved and have more shelf space, we have started stocking this great 
gear again.
[https://gallery.mailchimp.com/3a85afccc4843a7b778acbb68/images/9c9c5c37-299e-46eb-b51a-f05d57b81472.jpg]

We are stocking these handy items:

  *   
LCR45
 an automatic meter for measuring inductance, capacitance and resistance..
  *   
DCA55
 a very clever semiconductor analyser - superb value-for-money!
  *   
DCA75
 an even more sophisticated semiconductor analyser with computer software
  *   
ZEN50
 a Zener diode tester
  *   
SCR100
 Triac and Thyristor Analyser

My pick for two great instruments would be the 
LCR45
 and the 
DCA55.
 Check out my 
blog
 for a brief review of these great instruments. Also don't miss out on our 
special offer below!

Well, I did it again! I let Windows do an update BEFORE the contest (I knew it 
was a bad idea) and now it once again does not recognize my video card and has 
reduced the resolution and will not span across two monitors. Last time this 
happened, K5LJ suggested I roll back the video driver and that worked, but this 
time the option to do that is grayed out. Surely, someone know how to fix this 
for me.



The computer is an older HP running WIN 10 (upgraded for WIN 7) with an AMD 
chipset and an ATI Radeon HD 4200 video card. I have a new computer purchased, 
but it’s still in the box…. There must be a way! If you have the answer, call,

BTW, the ARRL 10 Meter contest conditions suck, but there are occasional

I think he was just asking for a name of a lawyer to contact. I don’t see 
anything wrong with reaching out to the members of a club one belongs to for a 
referral .



People hire lawyers every day for representation in accidents like this. Since 
I am actually a lawyer, I tend to agree with the earlier comment that it may be 
hard to find one in this case, given that the 20 year old defendant would not 
seem to have much money. But your admonition that KF5LVZ should just “look to 
his family for help” strikes me as unduly harsh. The man just asked for a 
referral. Lighten up. This is what lawyers do, cases just like this one.

of an impedance mismatch to protect finals, e.g.) - but why take the chance

Howdy BVARC members,

My name is Eric Lieb, I am an assistant scoutmaster with Troop 806 in Bellaire.

Our Troop recently received a very generous donation of some ham radio 
equipment that includes an HF rig (Yaesu FTDX5000).  One of our assistant 
scoutmasters bought an antenna (MFJ1622) and we hope to put it all together and 
get on the air this Sunday October 29th at 2pm.  None of the licensed hams in 
our troop have ever used an HF rig.  We will be reviewing our licensing books, 
reading some manuals, and then flipping the switch to see what happens.

If you would like to come help us figure things out please let me know.  We 
could really use some help from a few experienced hams on Sunday.

Feel free to forward this message to others that might want to help, and keep 
an ear out for our new club call KG9BSA on Sunday.

atmosphere, and it is spewing a stream of solar wind toward Earth. Estimated 
time of arrival: Oct. 24th. First contact with the gaseous material is expected 
to produce minor G1-class geomagnetic storms, intensifying to moderately strong 
G2-class storms on Oct. 25th as Earth moves deeper into the stream. Arctic sky 
watchers can expect to witness bright auroras. The lights could descend to 
lower latitudes as well, with sightings in northern-tier US states along a line 
from Maine to Washington. Visit 
Spaceweather.com
 for more information and updates.

And on a separate note, regarding a handi-talkie- there are a few folks parting 
with the Kenwood D72a because they are looking for D-Star from the newer radio. 
If you want

that capability, there are some older ones from Icom which were sold in colored 
plastic cases- as special event / collector's editions which can sometimes be 
found at

reasonable prices. One source for a good used radio is 
www.qrz.com ( and I get no financial advantage from saying 
this ). I know that this does not exactly answer that

question from the guy who wanted a 2M radio only- yet a 2M/70CM radio may not 
cost much more- if pre-owned.

I did the same thing last night and they said they could not find my records.
Went all over there web site and found a chat box and tried to chat with them 
and got an automatic message that they could not chat now. They did give me a 
1-844-868-8672 and I called it today and got a real 
person in Dallas Tx and she got me to the web site to fill out the request to 
have my records sent to VetVerify. They said it could take 5 days to get a 
notice of sending it to VetVerify. When they get the info they will notify me 
to go back to VetVerify and refill out the form. Hope this helps everyone.

Hey Bruce,

That is great news for me and spouse.  I tried to register today but the Vet 
Verify site couldn’t find me in the system.  When I was on active duty we had a 
Service Number.we didn’t use the SSN.  But I have my original DD214 and my 
official Honorable Discharge (suitable for framing) papers. It is crazy, since 
I purchased two different homes with my VA benefit.

So now I am going through the inquiry process with VA.  I hope this will get 
cleared up by November ☹.

As you know, if you retired from the military, you have access to the Exchanges 
and to the online exchanges. The law changes on November 11, 2017, Veterans Day 
this year allowing ANY honorable separated veteran the right to purchase from 
the exchange.
You need to pre-register.
Go to shopmyexhcnage.com. On the right near the top 
is a box Veterans Online Shopping Benefit Take the first step.. Click 
on it and it takes you to vetverify.org. That is where 
you register. Then on November 11, 2017, you will have access to create an 
account at shopmyexchange.com.
I got lucky, someone was looking out for me somewhere. I registered two weeks 
ago and the other day, I received an email to create my exchange account and 
start shopping now as a Beta test for the exchange. I have been perusing the 
goodies and one thing I looked up for my daughter was some Whey. On Amazon, it 
was $58 and in the exchange it was $29. Not everything is as deeply discounted.
Also, all purchases are tax free. Anything over $49 is shipped free, under $49 
is a flat $4.95. And... they match prices with walmart, target, amazon. What 
could be better.
Hope this will help some of you that are vets or have a vet in the family. It 
sure put a smile on my face.

MASSIVE EXPLOSION ON THE FARSIDE OF THE SUN: On July 23rd, NASA and European 
spacecraft observed a massive explosion on the far side of the sun. A 
spectacular CME tore through the sun's atmosphere and it now appears to be en 
route to Mars. Earth will not feel the effects of the blast because of its 
location on the opposite side of the sun. However, the source of the eruption, 
old sunspot AR2665, will turn back toward our planet in early August, possibly 
bringing a new round of geomagnetic storms and auroras. Read all about it on 
today's edition of 
Spaceweather.com.

Items for Sale – KK5W (SK) Garage
The following list of Ham Radio related items comes from the garage of Betty 
Zermano -- Widow of Dr. Al, KK5W
The “stuff” has been in that garage many years and therefore covered with dust 
and time.  So, I have gone thru each piece and given it a rating from 10 (best) 
to 1(worst).
Why I did this --- a lot of this stuff can be resurrected from the Snow White 
sleep it has been in for the past many years.  A good clean up, battery 
replacement, etc. will do it wonders.
Pricing is priced to sell, lower your risk and hopefully cheap enough for you 
to take a chance and buy it.   The main goal is $’s for Betty. Contact me 
if interested   rickhille...@gmail.com

STRONG SOLAR FLARE AND CME: After days of suspenseful quiet, huge sunspot 
AR2665 finally erupted on July 14th (0209 UT), producing a powerful M2-class 
solar flare. The explosion was underway for more than two hours and hurled a 
bright coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. Geomagnetic storms and 
high-latitude auroras are likely when the CME arrives this weekend. Visit 
Spaceweather.com
 for images and updates.

SOLAR ACTIVITY INTENSIFIES: Sunspot AR2665, which emerged just as few days ago, 
has mushroomed into a behemoth nearly as wide as the planet Jupiter. On July 
9th the fast-growing sunspot produced an M-class solar flare and a short-lived 
shortwave radio blackout over east Asia and Australia. Stronger flares and 
Earth-directed CMEs may be in the offing as AR2665 turns toward our planet in 
the days ahead. Visit 
Spaceweather.com

BIG SUNSPOT TURNS TOWARD EARTH: A new and large sunspot is rapidly growing on 
the solar disk, temporarily arresting the sun's plunge into Solar Minimum. 
Stretching more than 70,000 km from end to end, the active region numbered 
AR2665 has more than doubled in size in 24 hours. This makes it an easy target 
for backyard solar telescopes. So far the growing sunspot has not produced any 
strong flares, but this could change if its rapid growth continues apace and 
destabilizes the sunspot's magnetic field. Visit 
Spaceweather.com
 for movies and updates.
