Amateur radio enthusiasts utilize specific frequency bands allocated globally for communication. From Low Frequency (LF) to Very-High Frequencies (VHF), each band has distinct characteristics and propagation conditions. Frequency allocations vary by country and ITU region. Understanding band usage and regulations is crucial for effective communication among ham radio operators worldwide.

And now , when I exit full screen mode , all the buttons are visible that I need to click on to make changes , if I so desire . I'd like to customize a few of those tiles and I'll look into that more . I have a feeling that YouTube will end up being my best . friend Please excuse the crappy camera angle . I must have been holding it in such a way that it looks like everything on the right side is going uphill . That's not the case in real . life I forced myself to stay up to participate in the 40 Meter Fox

Pages Home Portable QRP Ops Morse Code Operating Mixed Media NJQRP Skeeter Hunt Suppliers Friday , January 26, 2024 80 Meter Fox Hunt and the weekend Last night was my first stint as a Fox in 8 years I went back to the QRP Fox Hunt webpage and was looking at the previous seasons . 2015 was the last time I served as a Fox . I completed applications for both the 2016 and 2017 seasons and was relegated to Alternate status . I gave up after that . Alternates very rarely get called and I pretty much figured out that I was not considered to be up to snuff I guess that due to the shortage of Foxes this year , my status has changed to good enough Anyway , last night was a blast . The final log will show 48 QSOs after removing one duplicate . nbsp I started off at 3.566 MHz , listening from 1 to 2
I need an illustrator to do the cover for my updated Extra Class study guide. The fellow who did the covers for the latest Tech and General study guides has taken a full-time job and doesn’t have the time to do one for the Extra. Preferably, I’d like someone who could do it in a […]
Ice on antennas Last Friday, we got about six inches of snow here. That was followed by the rain, covering everything— including antennas—with a coating of ice. Ice, in general is not a good thing on antennas or feedlines. We noticed this last Monday night on our weekly club net. Stations that were not really […]
I’ve recently given up Twitter for Mastodon, which bills itself as a “free and open-source, self-hosted, and federated social network service.” I have a lot fewer followers than I do on Twitter, but the followers that I do have are certainly more engaging. So much so, I don’t think that I’m going back. There are […]
Cure for stray RF on my signal. And here's the $10 permanent fix: Also works on decoupling magnetic field hum from a pole pig transformer in a linear amplifier.
The post Cure For Stray RF On My Signal first appeared on N0UN.net.
A little—and I do mean little—ham humor I got this from /r/amateurradio: What do you call an apology written in dots and dashes? Re-Morse Code. Handheld EMF meter On the Tech test, question T0C06 reads: Which of the following is an acceptable method to determine whether your station complies with FCC RF exposure regulations? A. […]
As you can imagine, there’s been a flurry of activity this past week regarding the ARRL board’s proposal to change Bylaw 46. Last Thursday, for example, RATPAC hosted a discussion on the proposed changes. The presentation was headed by Marty Woll, N6VI, a former ARRL vice director. Below is a recording of that discussion. Several […]
. Pages Home Portable QRP Ops Morse Code Operating Mixed Media NJQRP Skeeter Hunt Suppliers Tuesday , January 09, 2024 Going to re-do the shack a bit and make room for a new addition . Not sure why I ordered one of these , but I love the way it looks and it's arriving . tomorrow It's the HamClock bundle by inovato . Products I have a 24' TV monitor that's sitting around doing nothing . I was going to put it out at the curb for a free pickup , but then I saw this . There's no real reason for having this other than the cool factor and I always salivated over the Geochron clocks since I was a . Novice So some of the certificates on the shack wall may not be as visible as before , but I think when all is said and done , I'll have a more Mission Control look . This definitely validates my nerd.JPG)

Even more troubling than the rain
