[BVARC] video editing experts out there?

2024-03-11 Thread Rod Neumann via BVARC
I am always trying to do things in a vacuum. Maybe in the fraternity of local hams I can commiserate with someone farther down the video editing path. I just bought Movavi, a video editing app, and I've been piddling for an hour and still don't have my 4 minute .MOV video file imported into Movav

I'm not answering what you asked, but for a new 2nd story install I will suggest you put a good deep copper ground rod in the ground directly below the shack window and run a good copper conductor, I think wide flat copper braided is best (? is that still the consensus?), and ground all chassis to

regarding the proper meanings of: YL OM and XYL and DR At the dawn of Ham Radio, it was the Flapper days... the 1920s. Couples didn't "date". They courted. You had to have family permission to approach a young lady for courtship or at the very least, introduced. If you were interested in a fe

I remember working from Houston as WA5KHM, a VU ( India) at around 9PM CST, on CW 15 meters in about 1965 when I was 15 years old. There was a W5??? Corpus Christi ham had his antenna on a Commercial broadcast tower so it was up maybe 100+ feet elevation. He was too far for groundwave and too clo

Philippe, Maybe you can at least do a process of elimination first before having someone come look at it. For instance: 1. On what band(s) do you hear the noise? 2. Where did you put the ferrites? On 3 wire 240VAC to the outside unit? On the inside unit? On the 24VC thermostat wires?

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.

Martin, 200 watts - 250watts only gives you 3dB advantage over the 100W. That's not even one S unit or figure it is BARELY a perceptible difference on the other end. CB linear? Those are for the 11 meter band... what bands are you using? I'd say as a general rule figure you need at least 300W
