Percheron Lee 4th of July 2011 (Lima-Echo-Echo the ham radio horse)

I have taken my 2 meter portable out with me on Lee many times. The closest receive station for the Milwaukee 91 (146.91 – ) repeater is the main site which is about 25 or so miles from the area I ride in. My ham radio friends affectionately call Lee “Lima-Echo-Echo” the ham radio horse. One day I plan to use my Kenwood mobile radio as a cross band repeater and then I will take a 440 hand held out with me and see how that works out. The portable I took with me is a Yaesu FT-270 2 meter monoband. I have a “tiger tail” wire attached to the outside ring of the SMA antenna connector which provides a little better ground plane.

Anthony WW2W & Ham Pal, Phyllis KC2DKD @ Mile 11 NYC Marathon. Amateur Radio Communication Volunteers. Logistic, Emergency Support and link to the Drop-Out net. For security reasons, this year they gave us our usual plastic passes: However each one this time had our names on it. Sorry no radio callsigns…maybe next year? 🙂 Maybe the mukit-mucs don’t understand how quick and easy it is to search and ID a ham radi volunteer via our world-wide-unique callsigns using their cellphones on the net.

Earth Changes Explained (2 of 3)

Earth Changes Explained: The cause and what we can expect in the very near future. * Symptoms: Earths Erratic Magnetosphere, Mysterious Magnetic Blasts, Intense Electro-Magnetic Interference, Wobbling Earth, Changing Weather Patterns (Global Warming/Climate Change), Worldwide Drought and Deluge Conditions, Extreme Crop Failures and Food Shortages. Increase in Major Earthquakes and Tectonic Plate Activity, Unstable/Shifting Ground Reaping Havoc on Man’s Infrastructure, the Mayan Calendar, 2012 and Crop Circles.

This location is an anomalous area and believed to have a gravitational or atmospheric disturbance in which its natural properties in the area possess electro-magnetic interference that effects sporadically with humans, machines and electronics and that it still remains to being unexplained. The zone lies just north of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the 30th parallel, which places it in the same parallel planetary anomalies such as the Bermuda Triangle. Considered to be the Mexico’s version of Bermuda Triangle, Zona Del Silencio (Zone of Silence) is four hundred miles away from El Paso, Texas surrounded by deserts. The place of its surrounding and territories have mysteriously enough been blocking and draining radio and TV signals, and have been associated with the UFO phenomenon that may have cause several crashes including the Roswell UFO craft that went through here over lighting. The US military have sent down several technicians and scientist to the region to investigate its surprising odd phenomena that have affected some of their surface to air weapons and aircrafts testings and operations, most note worthy are: missiles (a known incident is an Athena missile fired from the White Sands Missile Base, went off course inexplicably in the vicinity of Zone of Silence, where it crashed) and rockets (an upper stage from one of the Saturn boosters used on the Apollo project broke up over the very same area) and other top secret projects.

Yaesu FT-7900R Face Mounted

Image by Chazz Layne
The cut-and-folded portion of the headliner becomes the primary mounting surface, which secures the radio surprisingly well under the compression of the supplied mounting bolts. The supplied double-sided foam tape comes in handy for test-fitting and holding the face steady while you bolt it in. A small nail comes in handy for making pilot holes for the bolts.

An ample amount of hot-glue supports the front end of the face/mount and keeps the assemly at the correct angle. Placing the headliner at an angle at the corner of a table, then resting the front on the radio’s face itself provides enough weight to hold everything in place while the glue hardens. Care should be taken not to drip hot glue down through so it is visible from the other side, though it does clean up easy if you do.

In Ham Radio’s Technical Culture, Kristen Haring examines why so many men adopted the technical hobby of ham r

This video show how handy it is to work PSK-31 on an iphone/ipod using RDP remote control. This is using an RDP program on the iphone to remotely control the computer in the shack which is running Ham Radio Deluxe 5. In my case the shack is in a building not connected to the house, so this is a really handy way to work digital modes such as PSK or RTTY anywhere in the house via wifi to the shack laptop. The combination of pskreporter displaying perfectly on the iphone browser, and using hrd remotely makes PSK easy to work from any chair in the house. The RDP client I used for the iphone is called Jaadu RDP, but there are others available.
