You don’t want to lower your tire pressure with a camper, or full load below 80% recommended tire pressure, so beedlocks would be useless for you. I’ve been doing this for most of my life and I’ve never run a bead off the rim... that being said, I don’t run my tires lower than 20 psi... Now...

Right now I have mine configured in an inverted lazy L... matching unit is at 4’ and strait up my flag pole 20’ then slopes to 40’ ... it s getting ok resaults. But it’s not cutting the QRM as well as the sloper configuration did... I just don’t have the room to run it as a full slope... I’m...

I get best resaults with my EFHW set up as a sloper with the matching network about 5.5’ off the ground slopes to 60’ at the other end. Drops the noise a lot.

A touch screen... or do like I do and use KM4ACK Build A Pi script, then set the pi up as a hot spot and use VNC viewer from my phone, tablet, or pc to control the pi... this also gives you the option to use WinLink to send packet mail, and do a whole lot more with your packet radio.

The other option is a raspberry pi with a gps dongle running Xaster

The signal is introduced in the app.... and then converted from binary to digital audio tones and sent out to the TNC to the radio to be pushed to the air

I’ve driven the end of the trail, and lived at the start of the trail

Today, 12/21/2020 there is are 2 free exams nationwide out of 60 to finish off the month of December... out of the 59 exams scheduled, there are 12 exams for $14, and 5 for $10.00. So take all the numbers do the tricky math and you come up with $13.86, round to the nearest $5.00 and you get...

When I say ham I’m speaking 2m/70cm... I don’t expect people to dive in as deep as I dive into the hobby. The official OB ham frequency is 146.460. The national calling frequency is 146.52 on 2m and 446.00 on 70cm.

My point through all of this... free or $15, or even 25 is still lest than $65.00 I use money in my statement for worst case scenario... so no I will not be using the national average of $15.00/ exam session... which is still way cheaper than the rest of the world... for instance Netherlands is...

Yes correct the FCC doesn’t collect money (yet), but most clubs do charge money to administer the exam... the 2 clubs I VE for charge $15.00 and neither club keeps any of the monies collected for exams; all monies are sent to the ARRL along with the all the testing documents. I know one of the...
