He the two of us confused, my address on file with the FCC is my PO box. -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

I am late to the party but I would go with all the connectors in the box (if there’s room) weathersealed, and grommets in the holes that lead outside the box. -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile and ha

I’ve uploaded the powerpoint file for the presentation to the SNOVARC groups.io section, in a new folder named ‘presentations’. You will need some powerpoint compatible viewer to look at it. -p W7PFB

I will upload it to the SnoVARC groups.io files section. -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

I think calling it very well put together is extraordinarily kind of you. I do have it squirreled away on the shack laptop, I’ll forward you a copy. Sending it via email will be fine? -p W7PFB 73, Don

Yep that works fine -p

The FM version of VARA in wide mode uses the entire 6kHz of bandwidth that you get when you bypass the audio filtering and inject the signal directly into the FM modulator in a VHF/UHF radio. That’s w

I suspect the problem Howard is having now is that the RMS station is on an antenna that is lower than the one I heard his signals on today. -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

I can’t claim credit. Howard was having problems and pointed out that his radio was automatically applying a shift. Which got me thinking, maybe that was Ralph’s problem. -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to

Great, thanks. Now we just need to figure out why 70cm is not working for you. -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

Sheesh. Should read ‘9600 baud packet and 1200 baud packet are not compatible’. Clearly I need to drink more coffee. -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

9600 baud packet and 1200 baud packet are not incompatible. From what I understand a station running VARA FM Narrow can connect to a VARA FM Wide station, everything just goes more slowly than wide to

know several folks are trying to get VARA FM working with Winlink. One of the problems everyone has is that there’s only one RMS station even close, and none of us can reach it. So I’m happy to report

I keep my SLA (sealed lead acid ) batteries fully charged. The ones not in active use get topped up once a month. All my HT’s work on LIPO batteries. In theory the battery life is shortened when they

Wikipedia suggests the altitude of Carnation is 82 feet above sea level. Where, exactly, in Carnation that would be, I have no idea. But if the altitude in town is *generally around 80 feet* then a de

If you do it, please sweep it with an analyzer before and after so we can see if it changed the tuning at all. I do know that putting a ladder line j-pole into sched 40 pvc will change the tuning some

Knowing what the gauges in various locations would generally read is helpful. The depth listed for “Tolt River Road” is 90 feet. Generally the Tolt River Gauge, which is near the end of Tolt River Roa

My understanding, supported by what I’ve seen on the Winlink site, is that ARDOP will be the Winlink supported protocol going forward, with WINMOR being abandoned over time. So ARDOP will not go away.

Motivated by the Weekly Net check-in via Winlink I have been experimenting with Winlink again. In particular I was interested in what changes happen as a result of the abandoning of the Winmor connect

I am happy to let someone else snap the mixer up but I’m super interested in how you have this set up in your shack and what sort of stuff it does for you. I’ve been pining or a way to have multiple m
