Good Evening,
I found that my antenna work has not been done in vain. I was
surprised at the cutoff between antennas though. ND, MI, & IN were
stronger on my lower antenna while IA and GA were much better on the
higher one. I will adjust the second antenna and see how that works
next
Another option to consider with "retirement home" operating is what I've been
doing:
I use a KX3 feeding an AlexLoop (small magnetic loop) set up in our bedroom to
check into a local 10 meter net. Works quite well.The same setup also had me
working a DX station in Moldova... during a RTTY
Bill, if you want to get in at least some ham radio action you might
consider using TeamViewer (free for private use) to link up with a
friend who trusts you and is willing to let you tap into his station to
operate FT8 via the internet. QST had a recent article on it and it's
pretty simple
My son has a general license. He uses it mostly as part of his
search and rescue team. Really he doesn't have time to play
radio with a high-tension job, a wife, and a 6 year old.
Our club has some interesting new members:
Two women in their early 40s, newly licensed at the extra
level.
"I would then question the electrical stability of the 160M antenna. In other
words, why and what is changing?"
I change it. Changes include the total length, feed point position, and the
feed point matching L and C values. It's an experimental antenna.
One would not expect to make many
Thanks for the useful information. I was able to stop the windows sounds
on the USB signallink device.

There is no need for an expensive interface just to do CW Mike. The

When I started reading radio control hobbyist magazines in the late '50s
an amateur radio license was required to fly the planes or control the
boats. We now live in a more digital age. RC transmitters and
receivers have been commoditized and there are many wireless protocols.

If adjustments are required several times a week for the 160M antenna, I

I see very little change in mine, wet, dry, ice, or snow. Usually I find
it to be 1:3:1 or less across the band,

By the way, and more directly related to Elecraft and Wayne's original
post, not too long ago I proposed that Elecraft might consider building
a smallish, portable, dedicated FT8/4 radio. Something with a screen and

developed a "corporate culture" that places honesty as a key component.
I had a situation a few years ago that demonstrates this. I had a piece of
Elecraft gear that was having serious problems but was out of warranty.

Mentors for ham radio:
Well, I had only one who was a young music teacher in a nearby town
who taught a ham class in the evening. I got my father to drive to
them and the teacher lent me one of the paper tape CW practise
machines to study CW. He then gave me my Novice and Tech license

It is only because my 160 and 80 m OCFD is being modified frequently that I
decided to develop the auto trainer. It takes multiple actions to tune a
single bin and there are 20 bins for 160 m. If a multi-step task needs to be
done infrequently
I agree with Wayne that we need to be empathetic to reach out to people to
interest them in ham radio. Many of the posts here make points some very
good points. In general, I think we are not doing as much as some of our
old mentors did for us when we started in the hobby, and we are a little
That is the "scorched earth" solution. Most of us have more than 1 sound
device on our systems and use them for different things. I prefer to leave
the system sounds where they belong and keep the other sounds where they
belong. And Win 10 makes it simple to do, but does sometimes rearrange
things
“Today’s new hams will be the youth of several years back.”
As am I! Started at 14, finally licensed at 60. My parents thought it was a
bad idea, I got off track as life went on and finally came back to radio. Too
many distractions for kids today that don’t require study.
However long it
Bob,
My experience has been the same as yours. Extremely easy to do manually and
