Hi Brad, I have an arrow clone with all elements horizontal. I also have a tripod I am good on qrz. Randy ka4nma

I assume that you are using an Arrow 2 antenna??? An easy fix for this is to find a used camera tripod. $10 max on Craig's List. There is a 1/4-20 screw on top to hold the camera. I have made a

I am disabled and low income. It's hard to hold my large sat antenna. Can somebody build me an antenna like the ones listed below? 1 2 element on 2m, 3 element on 70cm 2. Ioio

And the ARRL officially announced that these two have been awarded the Technical Service Award for 2019!

I'm hoping someone can hear in the group can help me out. I planning on using a Yaesu g-800 for AZ and would like to use a linear actuator for EL. Is anyone using this type of setup? I'm plan on using

Oh my...planning on mounting antennas on the goats, Steve? LOL/HiHI!! Thanks, Clint, for the tip. That's really encouraging. I remember, about 10 years ago, I had my Yaesu HT sitting in the back seat

A fellow ham brought this post made elsewhere to my attention. An example of how the Internet "keeps" everything written ... (grin) NO - The Kenwood TH-D72a is NOT discontinued. Wasn't when the cited

Yes. Might take 10W with that less-directional/efficient antenna to accomplish what can be done with 2-5W and a tape measure antenna ... Clint

Clint ...So if not using a directional antenna do most fixed and/or mobile stations run some power to make up for the antenna gain loss? I’m new to the LEO FM SATs and still learning. Fun stuff but

I was just asked what I use to work the sats while in the car. Well, nothing "special." I have a setup that receives well ... and it gets in to SO-50 and AO-91/92 just fine - but nothing specific for

Good job! Clint

Thank you! I received two decent images this time. I made a 2-element Yagi which appears to be an improvement over my old Diamond rubber duck. Best regards, Fred N7FMH Get Outlook for Android

Just use a Number 10 regular envelope, self-addressed and with a First Class stamp, and send off to Bruce!!!

Hi Clint, Regarding QSL card: Never requested one before. Do I need to send card or just a report? What size is returned card? I want to ensure a large enough envelope. What is typical return postage

I'm not arguing hacking or not on 145.800. As a new ham I really anticipate SSTV from the ISS. When someone screws up that opportunity for many other Hams so he or she can say "look what I did" will

Gladly. 1. Yes, MMSSTV is a computer program with remote access ( I didn’t realize that, but clearly others did). The program, as operated by the control operator, ALLOWS for remote

Daron - Tell me where my logic and thinking are flawed - 1. MMSSTV is a computer program. 2. It is running on the ISS on one of their computers. 3. Someone who is not authorized to access that

Respectfully, I disagree a bit on your analysis. I’m not an attorney, nor do I play one on television and I agree it is an unfortunate event. However, I do not believe this meets the definition

We have this wonderful tribute to an astronaut occurring world-wide, and one person has found his way to mess it up ...
