Be sure to UPLOAD any pictures you took at the Jamboree to the Club's Photo Gallery tab on w6ek.org, so I can move them to a folder on our Dropbox. Tnx, Dennis Groups Admin

Good article, Jim, TNX. Definitely a "click-bait" title. 73, Dennis-WU6X

That was an awesome pass tonight, out here in the rice fields of Pleasant Grove ... clear sky and a good 5 minutes of ISS! Tnx, Greg.

Wow! Sierra County ... congrats! You will be the subject of many pileups, I'm sure. When Chuck (AE6LR) and I activated that county years ago, we made over 500 Q's and I designed and printed special QS

Thank you, Greg! Dennis - WU6X

This calculator will provide you with the minimum distance you should be from your antenna while transmitting on various modes and power levels. You can run different scenarios for different modes/fre

I agree with Rob ... also, the FT-990 and the FT-1000 series were two of the best radios Yaesu ever made (before SDR, that is). I happen to have owned both for many, many years and never had a bit of

Good input on the voltage drop issue, Brian. My Elecraft KXPA100 amp acts the same way when the voltage drops ... a good reason to check the "resting voltage" of any upgrade to lithium battery plans;

Sounds like a good plan. An engineering manager once asked me to troubleshoot a logic circuit and explain why a signal coming out the end might look one way or another, depending on what the inputs lo

Well ... my 2 cents! Do you think you guys might be over-thinking this whole subject a little? I have to admit, it is interesting. But, it's like comparing a twin-lead fed dipole antenna with a coax-f

I've tried longer and shorter, but 64-feet seems to be the sweet spot for both xmfrs I built for my RV. Once you build it, just hang a carbon 50-ohm resistor where the antenna should be and use an SWR
