Dick, Thanks for replying. I just got a new laptop with similar specs. Still working out the bugs. I think I'm still getting RF to interfere with the computer. Going to try different USB cable and som

Hi Steve, That is a good suggestion, but our mini-van has a built-in 120vac inverter. The xyl says I am too lazy to crawl in the back and hook up my power supply for the computer. I guess she is right

It might also be interesting to add a 2nd Ham Stick off the front, and phase them. They'd "fire" broadside, And I'd be pleased to donate a 20m stick and the harness if you'd like to try, John. The har

My 2 cents worth ... Not an ideal spot to mount HF antenna. Years ago I had a minivan and mounted antenna on left rear quarter panel about half ways up. It did okay mostly. Any higher and I hit overhe

Thinking about this and Dick's description of his setup (hamstick on a tail light mount), I have a few questions and a speculation: - What does the tail light mount look like? I presume it's a bracket

The RC3 Leaderboard and Top Ten pages of the website have been updated to reflect the standings through the 31 Flavors Contest. Good job to all! 73 Jim K5SP

Well prop was WEIRD yesterday to say the least! At times Dick you were S9+ with 100% copy on this end - yet you couldn't hear me. At other times, you would suddenly disappear off the waterfall. I've n

Dick - With all the mobile operation you do, you might consider getting a car charging adapter for it. I bought a generic one about 12 years ago, that had switchable voltage and about a dozen intercha

HI Bob, My mobile station consist of an IC7100 transceiver feeding a 20 mtr hamstick antenna mounted on a taillight mount on the rear of the Town & Country mini-van. I like the 7100 since the control

Don't worry Jerry, I just figured out how to send a group text. When I worked for NASA contractor on Space Shuttle telemetry I called our real estate agent one day when sell our house in Annapolis, MD

Well, today was better and worse that 4/19. We started heading for DL99 and I went on the air in DM09. Saw Barry, VA7GEM calling but could not make contact. Then a quick QSO with Rick, N7WE just befor

31 Flavors Contest 2021 results are in. A very BIG THANK YOU to David, K9DWR, for again creating the upload link and parsing the results. Top Dawg and First Place in Medium Power is John, KC3FL with 1

Patience Jerry it will be discussed by the advisory board and a decision on it will be announced. Jim K5SP

Since KC3EF was there, I think this should go to a vote . Yes/No ?? Jerry n9avy

Steve: So it's good for nothing ??? Jerry

Can I request a reconsideration/reevaluation of DL88?

P.S. These grids are documented on the club's "Available Endorsements" web page, under the US-CONUS-GRIDS as follows: Work US stations in 436 of the 488 CONUS gridsquares, in increments of 50. We took

Jerry - DL98 is one of the few grids at the extremes of the US that are excluded from the requirements for the 070 grid award. That is by design. Steve W3HF

Just put in checker and it seems that checker does not recognize that grid. Wonder if checker is set up to ignore those really rare grids ??? or is it part of checkers brokenness ? Jerry n9avy
