I used a font matcher - looks like the main font is Marta Bold (or something very similar) - we can recreate it if need be -- ************************* Howard E. Mahran WA1HEM (425) 864 -

Rowland, if you can’t find the original hi-res art work, do we have the font names used? We could remake it if the original art can’t be found. -- ************************* Howard E.

Does anyone remember who originally designed the current club logo? I know Ken added the mountains but we are not sure who did the original design without the mountains. Thank You,

My non-engineer POV is do/spend whatever it takes ASAP to get on the air and have fun. As you operate you figure out what’s needed next. Get any antenna up and GO. Then work out the rest of your

Roger what Rowland said. It was only after a bunch of years that I got a small (500w) amp. Before I jump to 1500 watts, I'm working on improving my receive capabilities. Yes there is some expense

In my opinion slow down with the equipment purchases and get more training under your belt. That is a more affordable way to go also! Thanks, Rowland

Ryan - You're killin' me! This is a really cool small unit, especially for use in a go-box or emcomm back pack. IMHO It would have been perfect if it also had 220 as well. But...alas...no more units

Luckily the 9700 price dropped like a rock. I've been seeing some go used for about $1500 now. I have a linear amp I'm saving for otherwise I'd be looking to see if I could find one used for 1200.

Hi Ryan, I have had my eye on this one ever since it was announced... The IC-705 is a QRP rig, so power output is low by design. What I really like - it's a true SDR and has the

Is the IC-705 interesting? https://www.icomamerica.com/en/products/amateur/handheld/705/default.aspx Portable HF/50/144/430 All Mode at 10W with external supply / 5W battery color display with scope.

OK, my story time. I was able to make contacts on Thursday night. I'm downtown Carnation behind the elementary school in the new development. I have a 2 story home and cannot reach any repeater with

Yep. We’re about 2.1 miles apart. There’s a ridge in between us. If I could get the antenna up 100 feet it would make it a lot easier for folks north of me to hit the repeater. Anyway I’m

Pretty neat! Thanks, Rowland

Paul, I tried a few minutes ago with my Kenwood TH-F6A HT at 5W into a 14” Diamond Tri-Band antenna sitting in my upstairs study. I could hear the station ID, but could not break squelch with my

Hi all, I do not have a 220 rig but turned my SDR dongle to it today at work station at Carnation Farms. No problem hearing with just tiny mag mount outside the building. Ken W7ECK

For comparison I cannot hit the Bell repeater at it’s current location at Jim’s place with a 5w HT at my place. It’s actually touch and go hearing it on my GP-6 at about 30 feet and trying to

If you’re using the Btech tri-bander HT it’s specced at 4w 1.25m and 70cm. But yeah, it looks like I can’t hear too well to the north. There’s a pretty big rise between you and me but I also

I tired using my Buddipole in 1/4 wave vertical configuration with my 5 Watt HT. But could not hit the repeater. Have no problems reaching the W7WRG repeater on 224.580 located up on

I heard you this morning, tried to dash over to the radio to respond but didn’t get there in time! You were full quieting into the repeater. What setup were you using? Thanks for giving it a

Tried this Friday morning (11/22) I get the repeater response at full scale. Excellent. My QTH - South end of Tolt Hill - Fall City. Marc Miller - N6TJQ
