Well, Field Day didn't go as planned...

I was pretty disappointed in my FD experience this year. I guess there is no one to really blame; it was just unfortunate all around.

Thanks to Ed, N9EP, for his awesome guidance and help as the instructor of my CW Academy course. I totally recommend this course for anyone interested in learning CW. It's totally free!

APRS while flying in a small airplane with the Kenwood TH-D74A
Просмотров 5 тыс.7 лет назад
This was a fun little test. I've been meaning to bring ham radio in the airplane, and this is likely the beginning of doing just that. I plan to continue to use this when I fly to use as a debriefing tool. Love this radio so far - super easy to use.

Sorry the quality isn't what it could be - I had only a few minutes to set up before we began and I didn't get a chance to really adjust my settings, so it was roughly thrown together. Better than nothing, I suppose! Hopefully this gives a good insight into the ARRL Collegiate Amateur Radio Initiative and its goal of supporting amateur radio in colleges and universities around the country. It's...

    In the 1950s and 60s, "Lamp Cord" like this was frequently used for antennas. You have seen 450-ohm ladder-wire and 300-ohm twin-lead? Well, this is 75-ohm twin-lead. Separate it and pull it apart to make your half -wave dipole and use the remainder as your feedline. 75-ohm is close enough to 50-ohm, but you can also use an antenna tuner/matcher to get it dead on 50 ohms if you like.

  • @imdbtruth

    One thing I like about the Talentcell banks, is that you can buy multiple of the same model and connect them in series to double or triple the overall capacity. I have a couple of PB240A1 that are rated at 22400mah and 82.88wh, and I use them to power about 600 addressable LEDs, each battery runs the LED strips at 90% brightness for about 3 hours, or 6 hours combined if I connect the power banks together. Not bad for $60 each and a small and attractive form factor. When buying power banks that are $50+, I always buy the 4 year warranty on Amazon for around $10... In my experience, power banks in general rarely last 4 years, and sometimes only a few months, so I personally recommend a cheap extended warranty when you purchase one.

    • @MrTommy001
      @MrTommy001 4 месяца назад

      The Wilson 1000 is supposed to take up to 1000 watts. Actually, 3000 watts (according to Wilson anyway). So don't worry about your 50 watts. I'm planning to use my radio's max wattage of 100 - and not worrying about it.

    Network radio is Ham Radio it's just the new stuff the ole hams do not relate to very well. I accept all new modes and nodes to use communications. But most people have their own views, but my views are open to new things in Radio regardless of what others say, I'm just moving forward. And that my friend is the way to success, instead of just using the old same thing over and over again.
