Jim, GL today. Will track you. I confirmed the club list. The big 6m amp isn't ready yet (waiting for 7-16 DIN feedline connectors) so I'll use the KPA500. I have every band you have. Sorry not to

I will have 6, 2, and 432 via an FT-817 and 222 via a Ukrainian transverter. I will be barefoot on all bands except 222 where I will have about 20 watts via a RFC amp on loan from Duffey. I will start

Sorry for the late notice, but I have been traveling a lot, just got back from a 4,000 + mile road trip and was not sure I was up to roving this weekend. I decided to, and with a limited route, so

Hi Duffey, That would be great. I will email you off the list. Jon

Jon - I have a couple of 20W 222MHz amps that I am not using. You are welcome to one if you want it. They are RF Concepts amps, RF actuated, so they should work fine with little work. They don’t

I plan on rovering in the ARRL SEPT VHF contest. For me the September contest has always been the triumph of hope over experience. :-) All operations will be close in to 38° N and 104° W. I am a

Hi Jon, 1:00 PM today sounds fine unless the lightning kicks up again from this weather system. I'll look for you on 222.150. Nice to see that you're on 222. It's a great band. 73 Bill W7QQ

Hi Bill, How does 1:00 pm Saturday sound? 222.100? 73, W0AMT

Jon, I hope to have a new 222 feedline installed this weekend and will be wanting to do some testing. Shoot me a text and we can coordinate: 505 358 2990 Mike WB2FKO

Jon, I’ll be around this weekend. Set a date time and let me know. We’ll give it a try. Bill W7QQ

I finished the 222 transverter kit this past week and did some initial setup. Per the article on the NMVHF website by W7QQ and KK6MC I checked the gate bias and found it at 2.5 volts. I adjusted it up

Greetings — For the first time in its 37 year history, the ARRL/TAPR Digital Communications Conference (DCC) comes to New Mexico, and will occur September 14-16 at the Sheraton Albuquerque Airport

Thanks for all the responses, both on and off the list.  Here is a summary of the advice I have received: * Only use the ultraflex cable for the portion of the feedline that is out of the sun * Use

Mike, Another thought: Before you trash your failed cable, try to find out where the cable assy failed using a vector network analyzer in time domain mode. That may help you analyze the

Gm Mike, One of your comments triggered a thought here: you spoke about ordering only preassembled cables with connectors installed. Most preassembled cables use crimped connectors. I’ve had bad

Hi, I have copied my buddy Paull Holmes in Farmington about this issue. He has two concerns. First.. My first question is if the cable with problems is genuine Times Microwave LMR-400

Mike, the 'UF' version of all the LMR cable, which is the rubber jacketed, direct bury capable, highly flexible version is notorious for getting soft in direct sun and allowing the inner conductor to

I'm having an ongoing problem with burning up coax cable feedlines. This has been almost entirely on 6m, where I have been doing the majority of my operating the past few years and primarily during

For many of us, one of our first exposures to ham radio was listening to WWV. Many of us still use it as a propagation indicator, a simple frequency standard, an introduction to others of the

The robot will only accept New Mexico VHF Society for club name. NM VHF Society bounced. Jim KC7QY
