Channel 2: 5348.0 kHz
Channel 3: 5358.5 kHz
Channel 4: 5373.0 kHz
Channel 5: 5405.0 kHz
Amateurs can also transmit Upper Sideband voice and PACTOR III on the following suppressed carrier frequencies (the frequencies typically shown on transceiver displays):

This is my third visit as a guest ham radio operator aboard the USS Pampanito that is docked at Pier 45 at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. It is great to be in a historic submarine and to give ham radio operators a contact from a very unique ham radio station. USS Pampanito (SS-383) is a World War II Balao class Fleet submarine museum and memorial that is open for visitors daily at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf. Pampanito made six patrols in the Pacific during World War II during which she sank six Japanese ships and damaged four others. Operated by the Maritime Park Association, Pampanito hosts approximately 110000 visitors a year and is one of the most popular historic vessels in the country. In addition to day time visitors, over 15000 kids a year participate in Pampanito’s educational day and overnight programs. Pampanito is a National Historic Landmark. The Pampanito is being restored to a specific point in time, late summer, 1945, to represent the height of WW II submarine development. The Maritime Park Association has scoured the country in search of missing equipment and spare parts. Almost all of the missing items have now been replaced and much of the equipment on board has been restored to operation. For more information, a virtual tour and a podcast please go to the USS Pampanito homepage www.maritime.org

Ham Radio Field Day ’05 3

Turns out I had stumbled onto Amateur Radio Field Day 2005. I’d never heard of this before! Apparently ham radio operators emergency preparedness skills and play a game to make it fun. I was curious so I talked to this guy for a few minutes and he explained everything, except he couldn’t really explain how one scores points. I kept asking questions, but I guess I wasn’t asking the right questions.
On this video we talk about the final modifications my good friend Colhane or Mac has done to my Ontario Pilots Survival Knife to improve its bushcraft performance. Those modifications include grounding off the upper hand guard to allow me to choke on the blade, for instance, and the reprofile of its blade into the convex edge. That gives me a sharp and easy-sharpening tool yet with enough metal on the blade to take harder punches such as havier batonning, which cant be done using the Scandi-grind without the risk of damaging it. I owe it all to my friend Mac, who knows A LOT about cutelary and sharpening, re-profiling blades and metal tools! It´s really great to have the chance and the privilege to (finally!!) learn from such a skillful man how to put a good descent edge on my blades, a basic, crucial bushcraft skill yet a very difficult one to be acquiered by many bushcrafters and outdoor people out there (me included!)!

Dad was a telecommunications engineer and his HAM radio was his internet. Back in the 1940s and 50s instant messaging was a more hands on endeavor and the cards on the wall behind him was his contact list. During his career he helped design the system that makes it possible for The North American Aerospace Defense Command "NORAD" to talk to submarines and missile silos, deep under ground and water. This was the global communication network that became the World Wide Web. Most of the things he did, he was not allowed to talk about "Top Secret" but once in a while he’d let stuff slip to his boy, whom he didn’t think would remember or know what he was talking about. For instance he came back from a trip to Washington DC 1979 and told me he had been in a room looking at the top of Mikhail Gorbachev’s head, via a live satellite feed. Another time he was in Italy and wanted to talk to my brother, whom was in the Navy and he picked up his phone and told the operator to contact my brothers ship, she patched him threw to the privet phone of Frederick C. Turner, VADM, USN, The then commander of the sixth fleets in the Mediterranean , they grilled my brother for hours trying to find out how an enlisted man would get a phone call on the Admirals phone. One can only imagine what dad would be doing with his PC if he were around today.

Ham or amateur radio as a hobby involves some hard work in the form of getting licensed, and acquiring knowledge of the technical details. The hobby itself starts in the first step by one getting the ham device. Selection of a good ham radio is best done under the guidance of a person who knows about the radios well. More than that, one must know the local laws and rules with respect to the ham operation.
Getting to know your ham:
It is important to know about hams and, to know about your own ham as soon as you feel the urge to buy / assemble one. If you want to know about the ham, then again, internet, books and other hobbyists are all good places to start with. If you know no technical details of the electronics but find yourself fascinated by the idea, then it is time to learn a bit of jargon in the field.
So, if you do not know something, you should come out and seek answers either from those who might know or from resources like the library or the internet. One must spend some time and effort to learn about the hobby that one wants to pursue. Just a wish is not a good enough reason to pursue a hobby. One needs more than just a wish to be able to pursue an activity as a hobby. So, recognition of the hobby and the right kind of activity that suits you is important.

Ham operation can be taxing and sometimes it can be tiring in spite of the modern equipment that does the scanning on its own. It is like the astrophysicist searching for some communications from aliens. If that idea grabs your attention, then this hobby will be to your liking since the activity is virtually the same, except for the helpful fact that we know there is someone who exists for sure, and one gets more than just “radio signals of unknown nature”. You get interaction from real people, from out there in the world, who live in flesh and blood as you do.
Your choice of equipment depends on how involved you are, and what your budget is that you can afford to invest in a ham equipment. There are good stores out there that sell ham radio at a reasonable cost. Again, as usual, it’s wise to chat with those who are ham radio operators, and also to visit and know the prices from various shops that sell ham radios to be able to select the best deal.
The cost of the radio equipment that can connect to longer distances will be higher than the ones that have a lesser range. Moreover, the recent advancements like digital voice transmission and such can be more costly than the simple Morse code wireless telegraphing model.
Getting licensed is the next hurtle. The amateur radio operator license exam does not require Morse code proficiency any more as it is has been allowed to be dropped as agreed in 2003 in the World Radiocommunication Conference in Geneva. The test will include the knowledge of ham etiquette, the communication laws that apply internationally as well as in your region and such. Once licensed, one is free to use the allotted bandwidths and is allowed to change or modify the equipment within the limits imposed by “spurious standards”.
So…what are you waiting for? Go get a ham and get your license: get going!

To an outsider, the world of ham radio is one of basement transmitters, clunky microphones, Morse code, and crackly, possibly clandestine, worldwide communications, a world both mysterious and geeky. But the real story is a lot more interesting: indeed, there are more than two million operators worldwide, including people like Walter Cronkite and Priscilla Presley. Gandhi had a ham radio, as do Marlon Brando and Juan Carlos, king of Spain.

In building the ham radio 40/80 meter inverted v antenna I ran into a slight set back. My SWR readings were very high and I first thought my antenna or cable to be bad. Fearing the worst I found the problem. A short circuit in the SO-239 connector in my MFJ-259B Antenna Analyzer. This is how I repaired it.

In order to learn more about ham radio satellites, TCP/IP networking, stepper motor control, open-source Linux, and socket programming, I decided to build a simple prototype of a satellite Az/El tracker. Stefan HB9ZEM/KG4SDI
