I’m no expert but as I’ve played around with wire antennas, and reading ARRL publications, I believe any folded over length of wire is not counted. What matters is end to end reach of the

I have always measured to where the wire goes through the insulator. In the real world unless you have some very accurate test equipment you will never know the difference in resonant frequency

I think yes is sort of correct. Some of the knot is not an effective radiator. The real question is does it matter. I don't think so.

I realize this might be a silly question and the significance to the overall wire length minimal but the question is burning a hole in my head: Do you count the part of the wire that is tied around

The Wilderness Protocol specifies monitoring 146.52 with 446.0, 52.525, 223.5, and 1294.5 Mhz serving as secondary frequencies. (Those are the FM calling frequencies on 2m, 70cm, 6m, 1.25m, 23cm

What are the standard intervals? Thanks, Rowland

Polled. I polled. Autocorrect "corrected" to killed. 😠 Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device

I killed a number of police districts and was surp2 to discover they do not monitor the VHF/UHF bands. Thank God for vigelant Jams. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device

Clallam County 911 was been advised of the situation. Ham is slowly progressing down the mountain and things are looking good. Robin, WA7CPA

Thank you for sharing Robin. Peter & Ann Peter M Marchel 206.940.5992 KJ7GHW

Just got my DMR digital/analog radio on the air. Set it to scan the analog stations, lol. Immediately picked up a backpacking injured ham giving his information to another ham who had been on the QSO

Thanks, Dale. That's a great site. -- ************************* Howard E. Mahran WA1HEM (425) 864 - 5104 *************************

Cougar Mt Antennas with Goggle Earth Thanks, Rowland

47-32-39.0N 122-06-30.0W RX @ ~300' and TX @ ~100’ AGL -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

Thanks Paul and Kirt- What Are the coordinates of the cougar mountain repeater? I was thinking it was nearly due south of Duvall but I’m not sure Excuse my typos - sent via my thumbs or by voice

I grit my teeth and use Google Earth Pro. I make it a bearing of 204 degrees and a distance of about 14.8 miles. That’s to a point just a bit east of Duvall, I’m not real clear on exactly where

The web version doesn’t have it but if you download the Google earth app it includes a ruler tool that will give you a bearing. I thought I once did this with Gaia GPS but I couldn’t find it there

I'm setting up a small 440mhz 7 element yagi and would like to find the compass bearings to several "targets". I don't see a bearing on google maps. What do folks recommend? Thanks and have a happy
