I fixed the nut driver Jon. I finally got the bit out and then I took out the spring that was locking it in. Now it just uses the magnet.

We will continue discussions on tuners next week. Bring your expertise or questions and share. Tuesdays at 7pm.

That one is just $109.95 after mail-in rebate.

For the code practice I proposed, I would be sending the code as FM on the repeater and just sending the code audibly, probably through a microphone input to the rig. So the net would be voice to the

A couple of people are talking about working on code. Learning to copy code is much more important that trying to send code. You learned to talk by hearing the sounds and then trying to say the sounds

I agree with Jim that we have a lot of digital modes on HF. I personally work FT-8 as my primary mode on HF. When we are talking about digital mode on repeaters, we are typically talking about digitiz

I have not had much opportunity to use digital modes in the area. There are some but even those typically support analog FM. I guess you are thinking a mobile not HT (although you may be operating it

I don’t see a net control for the 12th. I don’t remember discussion of not having that net. If we need a NCS for the 12th, I volunteer.

What radio/antenna are you using?

Sorry Brian, we were looking out for you.

Here is a file on antenna tuners you may find interesting. http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Technology/tis/info/pdf/9401070.pdf

Hope you hear favorable results.

For 3 Dec we will be discussing antenna tuners. We will discuss the types, what they are for, what they do, and how to go about tuning an antenna with a tuner. Tuesday night at 7pm.

Make sure you set the CTCSS tone 110.9 The repeater won’t open without it.

Congratulations Brian!

Yes, I saw it. From Wayne

Thanks Bob. My antenna has been re-tuned to the lower end of the bands on 40 and 20 (14.074 and 7.074). That affects the resonance points. I also have the ends as high as I can get them. My center poi

I might be interested in the Winter Field Day event. I have never participated in this one. If anyone else is interested, let me know. It is the last full weekend in January. Here is the website: http

Need an Azimuthal map for your QTH? This link will allow you to put in a 6 character grid square or lat/lon and print a map. This helps you orient your antennas for areas of interest.
