I’m in need of a portable HF unit. I love the idea that this unit is both HF & VHF/UHF with lithium ion battery on board. Also same interface as the 7300. Only 10w but could carry an amp. What do

Awesome Shawn! I'm interested in learning more about HAMWAN and how we can leverage it. Thank you and to the rest of the team driving this! P.S. What software did you to create that map? --

Grr. the screenshot I added didn't go through...resending --Shawn --K7ATA

Cool! I wasn't up to speed on HAMWAN.

We (K7RWB, W7PFB, K7ATA) recently did a LOS (line-of-sight) survey from the carnation shack to the HAMWAN station atop Rattlesnake Ridge. WITHOUT roof access (new locks, new code) we were able to do

Don't pull too much hair out or you will look like me.......and that is a scary thought! I would be up for a Zoom VARA class. Thanks, Rowland

Paul (W7PFB) - you are correct. It was a good learning experience and exactly what the drill was for… (its still frustrating ;-) and It’ll take a while to grow back the patch of hair I pulled out

The problem with two tuners is that they’re solving for a tuning solution at the same time, at varying speeds and by adjusting impedances in different ways. In essence, each tuner is expecting a

Paul - here is the unit that I’m using… of course, there’s alway a high probability that I am not using it

Hmm, I don’t understand why they don’t work together? And doesn’t this happen anytime you’re on HF then? I have the LDG IT-100 tuner paired with my 7300. It tunes when I press the Tune button

Good on you for figuring it out! -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

Howard, Do not feel too bad. We have all been there one way or another. That is the beauty of drilling. It let's you find the bad issues and correct them before a real event takes place and it is

If my life depended on getting on 10m yesterday to report my location during a disaster - I'd be dead today. My 10m antenna is not the best to begin with. It's a 6-40m dipole. I get better luck with

Great article. Saved it for when I setup my new ham schack in Texas. 73 KG7REV Gerard

Nice article on grounding. Thanks for sharing Howard! Jim W7ABD

Sharing this article that I found very helpful as I design an RF grounding setup in my shack. Hope this helps someone as much as it helped

Apparently everyone else in SnoVARC either stays up later than I do or gets up earlier. I vote with Dan - measure to the hole in the insulator. Any place where the wire is wrapped around itself, the

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
