Re: Neat Product
This is the kit I ordered from Amazon. I have tested them and with the right heat gun they work every time.

antenna modeling/simulation software
Paul Butzi (W7PFB)
I’ve been doing quite a bit of antenna modeling to get a grip on NVIS antennas. It’s been very useful and educational.
The modeling software I’ve been using is free and windows based - 4nec2. I’ve tried EZNEC and find 4nec2 much nicer and more powerful. Info and download link at: https://www.qsl.net/4nec2/
-p W7PFB
73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

How to verify WinLink via APRS?
I was wondering if one of the senior Snovarcians that has access to the KE7GFZ Winlink account could verify for me that my test WinLink message (my very first) which was sent via APRS on my FTM-400 made it to KE7GFZ@...? Other than an ACK - I dont see how to verify. Thanks and 73!

Congrats on getting your General license! Welcome to the HAM World. A VE is a Volunteer Examiner. This certification is issued by the ARRL. A VE is trained and certified to be a proctor of HAM Testing on behalf of the ARRL. The ARRL is VEC, which is a Volunteer Examiner Coordinator. Granted my the FCC to produce testing materials and and issue tests to prospective HAM Radio Operators. When you took your test for Tech and General, the people running the testing were all VE's. Checkout: http://arrl.org/ve for more information. Jim W7ABD
