    Is the Pub being sponsored by Tesla now?

    You only charge to 80or 90%. I charge every night to 90% and thst is around 270 miles. I have used a super charger around 5 times in the 4 months that I had the car. Only once did the navigation system tell me that I had to charge. And that was for only 20 minutes. Sent from my SM-J727T using...

    Is the Pub being sponsored by Tesla now?

    I love my Model 3 and plug it in every night to keep the snow flake off of the battery. I found that if you have a snow flake just tell the car to navigate to a super charger and it will turn on the battery heater. It took 7 minutes in 32 degree weather to warm that way. But plugging it in...

    FT8

    It is all the rage on 6 meters, I am amazed how well it works and when the band opens you can work a lot of stations. You don't hear a SSB signal or CW and yet FT8 pulls out the signal. A couple of log examples: The Canary Islands 7/20/2017 EA8DBM,IL18, 50.3148 FT8 The Joe Taylor...

    Excellent Video on SWR and Smith Charts

    I was working at Bellcore, a spin off of Bell Labs, when Mr. Smith passed. A lot of the old Bell Lab worker knew and had at one time worked with him.

    FM/VHF Antenna recommendations

    Have one of the Arrow J-Pole on my roof, I bought it at Dayton a couple of years back from the "Arrow Man" himself. It works well.

    Satellite Net

    I will give it a try but a coast to coast QSO on HF is not a every day occurrence. I can do VHF and I have not been on Echolink in years. Basically I like 40 & 20 PSk31..

    scored a swan fm-1210-a 2m tranciever for free, got a few Qs

    I attend Dayton Ham-fest and the one in Orlando Florida and see all of the old vintage stuff in the flea markets. I have never been tempted to buy any of the equipment for nostalgic reasons as I know it will only accumulate dust in my house. The old stuff is nice to reminisce about but not for...

    Brian this is a great antenna, I have one up 45 feet and configured as an inverted V, I am able to band hope the HF band with ease. I have the 80 meter to 6 meter version. Try and and keep the ladder line straight and off the ground. I once had it loaded on 160 meters and was able to make a SSB...

    SDR Software Feature Ideas

    It handled the the hardware interface very well. You do have to open up a lot of windows but once you get use to it is a very nice SDR. I was playing around with it before a ham radio club meeting and the group that were watching me were impressed on how well it pick up the local police. I had...

    Congratulation, Brian, it is a great hobby. Had my license for 58 years, still holding my original call WA2ACV. Besides SSB, you are going to like some of the new digital modes. My favorite is PSK31, yesterday I worked France & Venezuela and had a 30 minute keyboard conversation with a ham down...
