Thank you so much for this amazing video! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

I'm thinking you got a bad copy. I've had one for 2 yrs. Driving it at 14W with my IC 9700 and approx 180W out. I'm always between 144.150-144.174 into a 12 Ele Directive Systems Yagi. The only issue I had was the T/R relay after 2 yrs is starting to go bad. Yours is a mystery to me.

Hello gentlemen...i have purchased 3 amps from the same manufacturer for use on 430Mhz and all three were junk.All i ever got was smoke and a run around from the Australian distributor and a hand drawn circuit diagram.All there units all falled within minutes of being put into service and all the mosfets all damaged...they also used mitzy fets...they all never even produced there rated power ,.well under...junk dont buy RL products ... ended up buying ex commercial motorola amps of ebay...made a wilconsin combiner ... reliable 500watts fm ...rock solid...hope you find a solution...73s...ZL2UJI Auckland

Thank you to all the CEOs and politicians from this time period that shipped all of the US manufacturing muscle overseas.

You never ran the fan. Does it work? RF noise? DB level? A demonstration would have been nice.

If you can find it, I'd like to see the 1995 GE profile laundry videotaped demo where they did the phonebook test.

watching on you tube tonight band conditions not good ka5bkg brenham

Love seeing these old C-band feeds. Would you happen to have more captures of feeds like these? I got into C-band in 2015 mainly to capture program syndication feeds. The main syndicator at that time was GDMX, but there was also CBS’s PitchBlue feeds and Fox’s syndication feeds. All are now gone, unfortunately.

that was me that checked into the simplex net from brenham running 170 watts i’m watching via you tube

Just subscribed

I enjoyed the net tonight. After 26 years of only owning HTs, I bought my first mobile on a Prime Day deal. I have to say that 20 watts is a lot more fun than 5 watts… at least 4X as much. Thanks for running the net! 73s. KD5FPA

Was that ducting going on, or were you using you amp? We had a guy in New Jersey hitting our 146.79 repeater in Vernon, CT on a regular basis. He used a 300 watt amp. It pays to listen to all the video - just heard you say you were using an amp

Didn’t know this was possible!

Wow, amazing band conditions over the past few days. I was able to talk to David in Stillwater, OK yesterday. The band appears open today also according to dxview. With the very active sunspot regions just turning back into earth facing view I expect there will be possibility of epic sporadic E as soft X-ray causes changes in electron density in the E-layer as my limited understanding of how the magic works. Thanks for posting your DX QSO.

Listening on You Tube, for you from Hall Summit, Louisiana KB5VKB

Hello Trey Was nice to meet you at the meet and greet

Good Evening Trey & all who are tuned in…. N5YAI

Might buy a kelvinator washer with ze angel wing agitator

Where do I go to see the net logger

In my old hometown the local cable company kept their WeatherStar 4000 running on the SD feed of TWC up until the very last day the damn things worked. I can't help but think somebody there must have been nostalgic about the old WeatherStars and convinced them to keep it for all that time, since they even had an IntelliStar on the HD feed so it probably wasn't exactly kept around out of necessity.

Hello Trey from Orlando

Great net!!!!!!

I have one of these and find it very temperamental. Im driving it with a IC 9700 and it needs to stay on AM/FM no matter what mode you're useing it also prefers 15v input as the ZL importer told me. if im on ssb I have the power on the 9700 at 18% no higher or it trips out but if im on digital I put it up to 25% which makes no sence. DE VK2FZR

Where did you put the speaker?

Picking up one of these Saturday in Waco, found your video Trey! Can't believe I am buying my 2nd Icom after picking up a used IC-9700 for the shack.. LOL! W5KFX

I’m going to try and remember this net for next Friday. Love the livestream and hearing it after the fact. Thanks Trey N5YAI

Ordered this radio last night and really like this mod. Also like the way you used wood for the faceplate.

What power supply do you have powering this? Wire gauge connected to the amp?

Interesting walk thru on the amp. After all the testing it does seem flakey and not working at all on SSB seems like a good enough reason to send it back. I would say that's a bummer but also not really because you should get the functionality you're paying for. Enjoyed the video, 73!

1:13 Star Trek is brought to you by Kelvinator, LMAO!

At 24:12 through 24:16 minutes into this video (at real-time 20:24:51 net-time/1925Z), the interference heard (QRN or QRM) on the North Central Texas Simplex Net was most likely caused by harmonics from American Airline flight 1316 (AA1316) transmitter, which was en-route from AUS (Austin-Bergstrom International Airport) to DFW. I believe that the interference was QRM. Since the received QRM was off-set from the net carrier freq (as seen in the video between video-time 24:12 and 24:16) , my thought is that the received QRM was due to harmonics (from the transmitting station/AA1316). To prove this (assumption), take a look at the video presentation (between video-time 24:12 and 24:16). The interfering RX frequency (on the video display of the radios spectrum analyzer) is spread across what appears to be about 1/3 of the band and is off-set from the net's carrier frequency of 146.580 MHz. Also, since the s-meter was very strong (in the range of +40 dB), that strong signal strength was most likely due to AA1316 being in close proximity to the net's simplex stations that was able to receive the unintentional interference. It would be interesting to know what signal strengths other stations heard from this unintentional (and brief) interference. The Aviation band is close to what Amateurs (and commercial radio broadcast stations) use which, because of the physics of RF, any multiple of a carrier freq can be unintentionally received. Interestingly, the aviation band is in between parts of the Amateur band, FM broadcast and AM broadcast radio stations. Civilian airborne radios operate on the VHF band between 118.000 and 136.975 MHz and have a max power of 25W. Please correct me if what (anything that) I say is incorrect. Thanks! Also, if you are interested in following AA1316's flight path (including departure/arrival times and altitude throughout the flight from Austin to DFW), go to the website, Flight Aware (search for 'AAL1316' or go to flightaware.com/live/flight/AAL1316). This will show that AA1316 was within the net's simplex operating range of stations during the nets operating time. (However, I'm not certain that AA1316's flight path will be shown in Flight Aware for times after 26 MAY 2023) 73's to ALL

Hi KE5NGM! Your post was very interesting! Here's what I think about the cause of QRN by AA 1316on 146.58 MHz... According to your recorded display, it “appears” as if the interference (QRN) is off-freq from the carrier (146.580 MHz). Also, the receive S-meter level of +40dB suggests that the aircrafts’ location was very close to your station. Such an interfering signal could be caused by high TX power, or even the locality of the TX station and RX station. However, I believe the QRN to originate from harmonics and suitable atmospheric conditions. I've experienced this while in the military and as a radio and radar tech in the FAA, and even through the work that I've done as an engineer for the FAA. Civilian aircraft Air-to-Ground / Ground-to-Air radio stations (and FAA ground-to-air radio comm stations) transmit at relatively low power (at 25 W) and operate in the VHF range of 118.000-136.975 MHz. So, it is feasible to have a multiple frequency (harmonic) somewhere in the range of airborne comm frequencies, be received by 146.58 MHz. I’d rule out the aircraft having an output power greater than 25W. Since the RX signal was VHF and not HF, there would be no reason to transmit at a greater power than 25W. Also, the AA aircraft was at a high altitude, making its antenna higher than all ground-based Ham antennas and its transmission (propagation) was much better than all terrestrial stations'. Since your station is in Fort Worth, it is my guess that the aircraft was very close to your shack. It would be interesting to see if other Hams also recorded the QRN and then make a comparison of other their S-meter signal strength and received signal frequency spread on their display. My point here is at the time that you recorded the incident (at 20:24), what would a Ham closer to Austin see on their radio, compared to what you recorded. From the recording it is clear that other Hams in the net heard the QRN, but the question is, how strong a signal did they receive the QRN at that exact time? I'd bet that their S-meter would be different, but the signal spread would be close to what you recorded. That would prove that the QRN was due to harmonics and not that aircraft having high power. Also, if you take a look at the carrier on the recorded display, AA1316's frequency spread is off-set from the carrier (146.58 MHz) and is not as "tight" or concentrated (it is spread more across the band), as compared to other stations. Also, since the North Central Texas Simplex nets' frequency is at 146.58 MHz and aircraft radio frequencies are not in the Amateur Radio Frequency band of frequencies, it is safe to rule out that the pilot was not intentionally operating on an amateur frequency. Not really related to this QRN, but interesting just the same, while I was in the military (many years ago, in the 1980's), half of my Army unit was in Arizona and the other half was enroute to Florida. I was in the mountains of Arizona, on watch using a VHF radio and could clearly receive our other units in Florida on the same VHF frequency. That QRN was due to skip or tropo ducting and not harmonics. I know this because both units were using the same freqs. Interestingly, the VHF transmitters used in the Army was also at 25W. According to the website, flightaware (search for AAL1316 or go to flightaware.com/live/flight/AAL1316), AA1316 left AUS at 20:03 CDT and arrived at DFW at 20:42 CDT. According to Flight Aware’s flight track of AA1316, at around 20:24, the aircraft was possibly beginning its decent to DFW. AA1316’s highest altitude was at around 23000 feet. AA1316 began its decent near Granbury, TX and by the time it was near Fort Worth, its altitude was 12100 ft. This would explain your strong S-meter reading. But the frequency spread could only be caused by the "physics" of RF. In other words, harmonic frequencies, or in Ham lingo, QRN. So, it’s my opinion that the most likely cause of the QRN, to the North Central Texas Simplex was caused by harmonics from the AA airborne transceiver. By “chance” the North Central Texas Simplex net (and your station) experienced what the FAA would call “an anomaly” due to harmonic interference, thermal properties of the atmosphere and/or the relative location of the aircraft to the receive stations. It as simply an anomaly. But I think it was a very cool anomaly just the same! You never know what radio will throw at you! That's what makes amateur radio so interesting! 73’s!

I like the "what was that?"

Perfect!

Thanks for posting this! I'm a new operator and was interesting to hear my check in to see how my radio sounds. KJ5BBT

I've always loved electronics since I was 4 years old. Wish I had one of these as a kid. Remember helping someone replace their battery with it plugged in (could see it deteriorated). What a challenge that was

Awesome! Hope you post more like this.

During the telephone book test the Maytag must have knocked over and destroyed the camera!

Heard a couple when the net started at 52. Nothing after that in Arlington.

This needs to be edited.

Trying to get in on this when it comes up. I’ve only got handhelds, KI5BJU!

Thanks very much for posting these nets.

Haha come see Whirlpool, GE and Maytag now!

Thanks for doing the livestream Trey! Even when I miss the net I can still follow along when I have time.

These washed really good according to how you load them, for best results don't string clothes around the agitator because clothes will tend to " skate " across the vanes instead of being scrubbed by them

Son unos GIRLS18.Uno de los mejores conciertos ❤️ Son unos de los mejores conciertos, no puede ir pero de tan solo verlos desde pantalla 9, se que estuvoc sorprendente...

Trying to listen to you guys on the scanner and Prosper can just barely pick you guys up I have a 75 foot tower

Doesn’t spin-draining strain the motor?

will there be a stream tonight?

I wish I knew...Ten Vane agitator was quite capable on its own to circulate those giant size loads. They hurt themselves with this poor design. They refused to change it for greater washing performance and cleaning results.
