This worked on FRS simplex but I cannot make it work on VHS repeater. Why?

Whats the nasty high pitched noise in the first 8 min? Interesting antenna

A good presentation .... very useful. 73 de GI8WFA.

If you are relying on the internet to make a contact you are no longer using RF on the amateur bands it's that simple. These "qso's" should count for nothing, one might as well use Skype.

Excellent.. Thank you! I just ordered a handful of digilink mini interfaces for my family/friend group. We initially wanted a method of communication in the event of a disaster or emergency which takes out conventional means of communication. Winlink should be a great addition to the SMS and voice communication we have. Thank you.

Very professional presentation. Thank you.

Two is one and one is none and 3 is parts. That's how I heard it from a grizzled old Vietnam vet anyway.

So I've used the maps and find a plethora of hams surrounding me in every direction, isn't that wonderful. BUT maybe one out 0f twenty of them actually use their license and operate! I drew a circle around my house with a radius of one mile and that shows 37 licensed hams, WOW, amazing isn't it? Well I looked up all the calls in QRZ and found that all but two of them (including me) have no activity shown using "lookups" as the value measure of activity. Lookups occur when contacts are made and hams are curious about the operator. I concluded that most licensed persons have done so as a "prepper" in case of a catastrophic incident where communications are a part of survival. I'm certain that most if not all of them have a cheap VHF/UHF Chinese radio they think will aid them in some way when civilization begins dissolving. I doubt that nearly all of them would not know how to use the radio effectively or if such a radio would be of any value. If you want to find a fellow ham to whom you would like to get to know, share radio experiences and so on, you have to use the map AND QRZ to find those rare hams who actually use their license.

This is really some amazing research done on the state of the band, at all levels, from the history, to the regulatory text, to possible future technical possibilities and current hardware options. As a former merchant mariner and 20-year Coast Guard veteran, I had never heard of AMTS before I watched this video. I sincerely believe there is no AMTS service being offered or provided to any subscribers anywhere in the U.S, and that any bandwidth rights obtained for AMTS use are being used for other purposes or have been leased to non-AMTS operators. AMTS service appears to have been devised back in the day when there were coastal and inland maritime "dark zones" for routine communications. This was before the digital cell network was built out and before satellite internet for domestic voyage U.S. vessels was practical or affordable. Considering this and that no AMTS operators have specifically identified themselves to the ARRL as the regulations at 47 CFR 80.475(b) require, I assert that amateur operators should be able to notify the ARRL of their intentions to operate on the 219-220 band with 30 days notice and proceed without fearing the restrictions of being within 80 km of an AMTS coast station. The ARRL or amateur operators should not have to go on a wild goose chase to hunt down 219-220 licensees to see if any are in the AMTS service or not, the rules require them to make themselves known to the ARRL. Amateur operations would still be secondary to other licensed activity on the 219-220 band, though. I wish luck to the amateur pioneers in this band!

Spot on! Looking forward to viewing the series. 73

End the FED! oh, never mind.. carry on...

Thanks J

Hello, I want to use WoAD in 13:32 telnet mode on my Android. Can it use my house wifi and my data plan when away from my wifi? If yes, do I set up a "session" for wifi and another one for my data plan? Thanks, George, NJ3H Redmond, Oregon USA

Thank you!

I'm using an [FSOC] Free Space Optic Laser network on 1500 nm with hi bandwidth FSOC refers to outdoor optical wireless communication (OWC) I'm using AREDN on my OWC laser network up to 8 km -12 km high-speed data transmission over long distances. been using and developing my gear [KD6ILO]

tried all of this several times on my droid phone and in windows. Get invalid DMR id message on both and never see a device listed in BM or TGIF. I see comments below with same issue. Wait 24 hours has been completed as well. Any ideas?

Nice presentation, but I suggest after you commented on doing reviews that you consider contacting Garmin and ask to review their RINO radio that is GMRS. It is the best GMRS ht made with many more capabilities than you mentioned when discussing the “advanced” GMRS radios. They are substantially more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Licensed GMRS user here… from what I’ve seen, and learned, I would never want to deal with the people on Ham Radio. Those people are different than me.

If you have that 100’ clear around your antenna, let’s see … maybe dig a pond and fill it with *REALLY SALTY* water …😀 If you don't want anything growing in that _"No Man's Land",_ maybe make the soil a little more conductive with *copper sulfate.* Of, if you *DO* want things to grow, there's probably some fertilizer that is highly conductive. *73 de AF6AS in **_“DM13”_** land*

Hi Dino! What a nice presentation and public service. Although I gave up the RF world in favor of the AF long ago, I too collect stuff and need to pay attention to the inevitable! Great to hear your voice on this video. Thank you! -David Carroll

Howdy from Bakersfield.

Awesome presentation, lots to learn. Thank you. I tried to download the presentation but it says the file is deleted. :/ de VK1DON

Great presentations but it would be better if when people are showing their tape measure antenna's etc that you let us see what they are showing, you could obviously see it and he was showing it for a reason, all we saw was your blank stare. Really would have been neet to see what others were showing. 73

Very interesting presentation

Is LICW outcome-based? Can they tell you their success rate? Every organization should be able to tell you their success rate. If they can't, don't waste your money or time.

Anthony, this is a must to follow for hams......we need back ups

Great presentation. Thank you, Jim and RATPAC. I have found that I only want to look at "Repeater Capable" GMRS radios; some, especially "bubble pack", are not repeater capable. A question for Jim, if he is monitoring, is there a "height above ground limit" for external antennas?

Absolutely no one ever says anything about the dimensions of the topic of balanced or unbalanced components. Besides the fact that we see the circuit schematic of the transmitter described as a 0 ohm impedance source in series with a source impedance, then that is loaded into an antenna and then there's a return line back to the transmitter. So after doing a mesh analysis on the transmitter impedance, the rest is pretty simple. The antenna is a load that is actually a resistance in series with an inductance in series with a capacitance. When the XL and the Xc are equivalent, they cancel leaving only the resistance. So what do we balance? The Kirchoff current law states that current flowing into a point (node) is equal to the current flowing out of that point. Now instantaneously we can look at that circuit and know that the current flow is not equal everywhere all at once, but on average, the current around the circuit loop will be equal. If we have 2amps flowing into the load, we have 2amps flowing out of the load. Kirchoffs current law. Again, we see you doing math showing impedance transformations and a lecture about common mode current but there's never any values associated with the topic. I think it's pretty obvious why.

tnx info it is helpful 73 fm istanbul ta1bj

The League has wrapped itself around the axle. This "confidentiality" is why I have not been a league member for many years!

Excellent as always. I’m an extra on an ares team and 2 SAR teams. This has been invaluable for bring this all together even though I hear it all the time. 73 AG7JW

I know you spoke of keeping messages short, but when that not possible, an operator should pause periodically to let the repeater reset. To keep others from interrupting with other traffic, the operator passing the message should say "break, more to follow." Then when the operator resumes passing the message they should use the word "continuing."

Thank you for posting this.

Don't miss the fascinating section showing behind the scenes of the production process at 45 minute spot

A DXPedition is a bunch of guys going to an Island and making QSO's from there, sitting behind their radios. Simple. All the rest is BS.

I have one and really like it except I cannot get it to work with a battery. Ugh.

Is WoAD Open Source? Do you encourage collaboration? Code inspection?

Hello everyone. Nice detail hardware information by Andew VA7YAA does not have an email in QRZ. I already have WoAD on my Google Pixel 7 as an application. I did try to send an email to myself and got an email form Wave Talkers when I join there ZOOM Meeting acknowledgement of my participation in the ZOOM Meeting but did not receive an email on my WinLink Account. What wanted to learn is how to use the Application on my phone. Some of the information on this I cannot open in my application in my phone like changing the Protocol. So, what I was looking for was not on this video. Stay Safe. 73 Ruben KD6CWI

I have used WoAD for a while, and I love it. I think it's a great way (lower cost setup) for your local club to get out winlink mail to an AX.25 gateway. Let the gateways do the heavy lifting to HF.

The arrogant politics and polices of the League always prevented me from joining. They believe they speak for the entire amateur community when only a small percentage of hams are members. The few who are members have little to no say in what the directors do behind closed doors. Running the ARRL like a dictatorship is going to be the death of the organization.

Other than copying down the Transcript of this presentation do you have this presentation in a written form. As the message and the content is extremely important and should be preserved, perhaps refined for the reader to digest. the message you are attempting to deliver needs to be preserved and restated for future repetition. This concept needs to be documented and preserved for future use.

Richard: absolutely fabulous presentation! Thank you!

The history of TV 📺 actually goes back before the 1920s in fact even way more before even back to the late 19th century with the earliest cathode ray tubes that were even used with the earliest computers which were oscilloscopes.

I love Open Wire Line !!! Ham Radio Outlet Only sells Solid Core 450ohm line. Get Stranded wire instead.

You guys are the greatest! I'm so motivated to learn CW!

IMO, POTA contains more of the true ORIGINAL spirit of field day than the FD we have today. POTA usually puts the operator out in the public eye and not in some secluded wooded area with air conditioned trailers far away from everyone. POTA also uses a minimum of equipment and therefore deploys extremely quickly which is an invaluable skill for emergency ops, vs an entire day of orchestrated setup like many clubs do on FD. I am very glad that we have POTA and can do it 365 days out of the year, not just one. 73

How about doing a City POTA in a city park with your club. As a Hunter, you can promote your club and Ham Radio to your city. In our area on Saturday, the city parks are hosting farmers' markets.

Is this the new Heath Kits?

Does nvis work at night at all or it varies as well? Ha ha
