See if they have inventory direct.

You can also find them on eBay a lot.

If you can't find inventory for a FM or AM Low power transmitter you might inquire of someone who had one of those huge Christmas light displays that broadcast music with their light show.  Seems like they would not be using it at this time so one may be able to borrow one until you can find inventory.  They might even assist in setup

 

There are suppliers for Christmas Light display components that may be an uncommon source with inventory.

 

Just a suggestion to get up and running

Subject: Advise / Help with FCC Part 15 AM/FM installation

All,

 

I would like to solicit suggestions/ideas from RCR members on my need to install a AM or FM low-power transmitter at my church in Renton to support “drive-in” service.   I have examined a number of suppliers of low-power Part 15 gear and am finding very little inventory due to recent demand resulting from the Corvid-19 lockdowns.

 

Has anyone had any experience with such devices and using and/or sourcing same.  Any suggestions on alternates to communicating using AM/FM transmission with cars in a parking lot? – using wifi and smartphones has been suggested but I don’t have clear understanding of how to proceed.

 

I recall a project article in Popular Electronics in the 1960’s about building your own unlicensed low-power AM station so the obvious question to all the hams out there – does anyone have any AM/FM low-power transmitter sitting on the shelf that could be borrowed or purchased?

 

Anyway – any thoughts would be appreciated.

Microhams Digital Conference

Rowland
 

The following is from the Scott Honaker .

"Each year since 2007 the Microsoft Amateur Radio Club (Microhams) has
held a conference with a focus on digital communications.  The
conference offers a variety of topics across a range of skill levels.
Our motto is “Inspire, inform and educate”.  This year is the 13th
annual Microhams Digital Conference.  We have changed directions too
many times to count planning for this year’s conference but we are
determined to provide a great show.

 One of the virtues of going online is that we were able to invite
presenters that would be impractical to bring to the Seattle area.  A
number of presenters will be speaking from the future.  David Rowe, the
author of Codec2 and FreeDV will be speaking live from his home in
Adelaide, Australia.  He's 16 hours 30 minutes ahead of Seattle so it
will be Sunday morning for him.  John Wiseman G8BPQ, the author of BPQ32
will be presenting from the UK and much of the Winlink development team
from all over the US.  This is just a sample and the entire current
agenda can be found at https://www.microhams.com/mhdc/mhdc2020/ (all
times are Pacific Daylight Time).

 The conference can be streamed live directly from YouTube so there can
be an unlimited number of attendees.  This year the conference is
available at no charge but we do request a donation via the web site to
cover our expenses.  There is a chat channel in YouTube to ask questions
and these will be passed to the presenters (who may wait until the end
to respond).  To provide a more interactive experience, there will be a
Zoom breakout room available at the end of the session where the
presenters can hang out and answer questions in person for the next
hour.  Of course, the whole thing will be recorded on YouTube and
available for viewing later if you miss anything.

The links to the stream and Zoom breakout room are being finalized and
will be posted on the MHDC 2020 web site when complete.  All the latest
updates are available at https://www.microhams.com/mhdc/mhdc2020/

See you Saturday!

Scott Honaker, N7SS for the MHDC Team"


Thanks,

Rowland
Re: Mobile rig antennas - advice and tips welcomed

Tom WA7TBP
 

Mike:

Take a look at Comet Antenna mount, part number CMA-TYANTPE. It uses existing screws in your truck to mount an antenna. I have 4 of them on two of my Ford trucks. I like the mount, especially not having to drill a hole. You will have to find a way to route the cable to the inside of your vehicle, but I am sure there are enough of us at SNOVARC that we can give you a hand.

73 and good luck.

Some details about my rig:

I use a canopy for several months a year so mounting on the inside edge of the bed rail is not going to work.
I know that a roof mount is probably best for performance, but I'm hesitant to put on there as I'll likely break it off going into the parking garages near work as they have short clearances. (and I'll surely forget to lower it every time).
This is making me think a hood mount is the next best option.  It doesn't necessarily provide the best ground plane.  Does anyone have a hood mounted antenna and do you get "good enough" performance?

Here are pics of my F350 and Explorer installs.  They both work great.  I did have a mag mount on p/u for several years but had a tree branch blow it off the top of my truck and destroy it.

A-pillar position has worked well for me, certainly better than mag-mounting the same antenna on my other vehicle.

I have also had pretty good luck with front fender/hood mounted antennas. 

 

I did some experimentation on a Chrysler minivan I had many years ago with two different mounts on the drivers side.  One was back close to the column (pillar) and the other was forward near the nose.  My testing showed a noticeable difference between the two and the forward-mounted antenna did better when testing to a repeater that was behind the van.  So you might want to give some consideration to how close to your pillar it is mounted.

Re: Antenna Tuner or Tune an Antenna with an Analyzer?

Paul Butzi (W7PFB)
 

I would say it depends.  If it’s a single band antenna I say tune the antenna for best match across the band or at the frequency of concern, and if the SWR is still too high at the point of resonance, build a transformer into the feedline to get close to 1:1.

If you want to use the same antenna on multiple bands, a tuner is darn useful.  My two HF radios both have very capable built in auto tuners, and I’ve used my OCFD on bands where it would otherwise be unusable.

For those of you Hams out there with your Tech and General licenses that have thought about getting your Extra license (like me). The new question pool for the Extra exam starting on July 1 will be 91 one questions smaller - 621 down from 712! 

This is a great time to use the shelter-in-place time to study especially since there's 13% less to know!
