Re: [BVARC] Why not to use XYL

[Wes Harris via BVARC]

Great discussion Anthony.  I was working a very elderly gentleman during field day a couple years back.   I said 73 Old Man and all the hams around me listening were shocked and thought I was being offensive.  I explained that it was proper and hams call each other OM all the time and that I’ve been using it since my novice days in the late 70s.  My XYL Shannon does not like being referred to as XYL.   Hihi She is mostly a good sport about the hobby but keeps her distance.   Lol73 OM and YLs. De W5WES WesleySent from my iPhoneOn Jan 7, 2024, at 5:06 PM, Mike Knerr via BVARC  wrote:We live and learn. I've had my face slapped a few times.Mike Knerr KI5UBL 73On Sun, Jan 7, 2024, 4:04 PM anthony moro via BVARC  wrote:So today I was schooled why I shouldn't call a female operator a XYL.

Mike is actually not “Hacked”.  His position as president makes him a target

public information found on the BVARC website.

Re: [BVARC] Yaesu Repair

[Wes Harris via BVARC]

Ron - KI5GNL is located in Baytown.  He can replace the screen on the
FT-991a.  He replaced the screen on an FT3D that a local ham damaged.
Yaesu sold him the parts and hopefully they would sell the parts for
the 991a.

NM5G - I have used WD8BWW to repair my 897D.  He was awesome.   Very

Re: [BVARC] Feedback request -- How was the Baytown EARS Swap meet?

[Wes Harris via BVARC]

Hi Rick and BVARC


I want to thank all the members of BVARC who showed up.  I'm sorry I didn't
get to meet everyone who made the long drive to Baytown as I was backing up
our VE coordinator who was sick and in the emergency room.  Thankfully he
was tested and did not have Covid.

The location was St Mark UMC at 3811 North Main.  The event was in the
church parking lot and the VE testing was in the church gymnasium.  We
estimated 200 showed up.  We had 2 boy scout troops to help direct
traffic.  We had a few stations set up for and many of the boyscouts and
non-ham visitors got a chance to operate.  We had a special event station
call sign W5B.

 John Kruk wanted to come and represent but Yaesu is still not allowing
travel.  Yaesu, Diamond Antenna, MFJ, sent door prizes and "swag".  Stuart
Wolfe was there from ARRL.

There was a lot of buying and selling.  Many of the hams I have talked to
said they sold more than they expected.

As a member of BVARC I totally understand the decision to cancel the 2021
greater Houston hamfest.  There is still a lot of uncertainty with Covid 19
and large gatherings.  I do know that many of our Elmers were grateful to
get out and socialise.  They all practiced social distancing.

We may do more "tailgate" sales in the future but very much look forward to
the "real" hamfests when they come back.

73

DE W5WES

PS:  we have 10 Dell laptops which were set up for VE testing - We are
offering them up for sale to anyone who needs one. They would make a great
shack computer.   They were donated by Troy Construction and all proceeds
will go to the Eastside Amateur Radio Service.  Please email me for the
price and specs.  w5...@arrl.net

Re: [BVARC] Recommendation for 2m/70cm Vehicle Mag Mount

[Wes Harris via BVARC]

I am in agreement with Jeff, the tram 1185 is outstanding.  I also
purchased the Nagoya UT-72.  I actually think it worked better for me.  I
am running an FTM-400XDR in the mobile.

I want to recommend this product at Amazon

Authentic Genuine Nagoya UT-72 Super Loading Coil 19-Inch Magnetic Mount
(Heavy Duty) VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Antenna PL-259, Includes Additional SMA
Adaptor for BTECH and BaoFeng Handheld Radios
