I'll be activating both events (Yeah, I'm a glutton) at various times over the week. 73 and have fun!

In particular, I found it interesting that missions sometimes have to wait 30 minutes or more for a particular radio frequency to become available before they can launch, because interference from teams competing for the same bandwidth can be as bad for the mission as intentional jamming from the enemy. It also brings a measure of common sense into the propaganda videos that show things like drones flying into open windows, tank hatches, vehicle openings and even Russians taking a dump. 🤣 https://warontherocks.com/2025/06/i-fought-in-ukraine-and-heres-why-fpv-drones-kind-of-suck/ 73, K1CPR Juan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Both my FT-991a and FT-857d can do what this does. I checked it out, it outputs full power, is clean inside, has a fully charged coin backup battery, the original microphone and the user and service manual spiral bound into one volume. It looks like it's been well taken care of, just the normal nicks and scratches over time. It also has the Piexx TU-5PX CTCSS/PL encoder board , which enables tone frequency selection from the front panel. It is third party but an exact clone of Kenwood's TU-5, and that option is a $69 value. The other options are useless, there is a CD-10 uni t that shows call signs if you are using DCS, and a VS-1 voice synthesizer board that talks frequencies and such in English and Japanese. This rig doesn't have those. I will sell it to a BARS or MMRA member for $250. If you are reasonably near Burlington I might even be talked into delivering it to you in exchange for something cool and sugar-free to drink. If it doesn't sell in a week or two, it goes to fleaBay.

Message-ID: Just back from a weekend at the Cape. I did a PoTA activation at the National Seashore Marconi area. If you know it, I was set up by the park headquarters on the road up to the Marconi site. There is a nice flat grassy area with trees so I could set up my equipment in the shade and the quarter wave whip for 20m out in the field. I was operating CW at 20W with my (nothing to write home about sensitivity wise) Xiegu G90. My usual equipment set up. About 4:00 in the afternoon. Band conditions good. I usually do fine with this set up. At home noise is S2-S3. In the field S1 is typical. On that afternoon the noise was almost dead silent. No indication on the S meter when not sending or receiving a signal. Dead Silent. I spotted myself and boom Italy. Boom Great Britain. Boom France. I gave out a lot of 5 readability reports at low 2, 3 signal strength levels. Somewhere in there Puerto Rico. Then a location code I didn't understand, A2X. I had the call sign so I would look it up later. A2X: Botswana!! Amazing. Contact map: Is this the usual for Cape Cod? I wondered if it being a Cape the local noise would be very quiet. I mean they put that first Marconi station there for a reason. Was I just lucky and having a good afternoon or is Wellfleet the HF capital of the world?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Christopher, It is a lovely place. My family has a long history vacationing in Eastham. The Marconi area is special to me because we used to go there when it was just a dirt road and the debris from the station was still there. Long time ago. As to my antenna. While the G90 has the reputation of having a great tuner, my preference is for resonant antennas. I use a Wolf River Coils extensible whip. The long one that can be tuned in length down to the 20 m band. I have the Wolf River Coils Sporty Forty Coil that will allow that whip to be used on 40 m. I mostly just use the whip. The whip is mounted on the WRC tripod, the one with 24 inch legs. I have 100 ft of silicone coated wire cut into 6 equal lengths. Two wires attached per alligator clip and clipped to the tripod legs for ground radials. It stores compactly, and is easy to set up. Also it requires no staking or ground spikes that might annoy rangers. I tune the length using a VNA. I used to use a nanoVNA, but that is kind of fiddly, so I bought one of the RigExpert Stick VNAs to make the measurements. Over moist ground I can get impressively low SWR numbers. In dry sandy Wellfleet I was at 1.3; good enough. It was not very expensive and the mix and match ability of the products in the Wolf River line means I can mess with other options in the future.

I'm hoping you might advise me on a ham radio question. My Dad has been involved in ham radios since he has been a kid. He is now 80. He has a home set up with antennas in Pelham NH. He had a stroke and can't use his left side. He needs some help figuring out new equipment and a buddy to hang out and do some ham radio "stuff" with. He is part of a club in NH, but my Mom, sisters and I are looking for someone to help him on an ongoing basis. We would pay by the hour for someone to come to the house and help him and work with him. I'm just not sure where to get started to see if someone might be interested. Hoping you might have some ideas or resources we could try. Thanks in advance, Kristin 603-401-8383 (happy to discuss this further as well) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
