Does someone have a hot mic?

VNA is much better and easy to use

Good onya mate. I enjoyed your video!

Awesome but I'll pick it up eventually. 73 from Long Island NY. KD2ZFD

Great presentation on Ham Summer Field Day weekend =) Lots of medical this last five months .... maybe make contact on FD24 =)

I was honestly shocked how fast I got up and running on my Lenovo Thinkpad. Literally installed AFTER READING THE DOCUMENTATION (which is very important) and plugged my Xiegu G-90 in via my Digirig and after a less than 5 minute setup was using FT8 and WSJT-X. MUCH faster than setting up my Windows environment. WELL DONE, Andy!!! 73!

Can any Auto ATU be used at the feed point if the control circuit appropriately rewired / repurposed for remote use? The higher cost of remote ATU's is prohibitively expensive while generic kits for desktop use are inexpensive.

Many thanks the section on the AH-4 was great liked that a lot and useful that someone puts down this info not found anywhere else on the internet to be honest - I'd love to see some comparison results with the AH-4 with different setups like Long Wire , Doublet with ladder line etc. You put some good tips in there that could easily be missed so I watched it a few times all the best and 73s Mike R

That was a real fun QSO Party on April 27 and 28, the FQP. Lively and exciting, friendly operators. Thanks for making a KZbin video on it to relive the moments.

Nice presentation on Florida QSO Party Greg =) de N5VMO Pat

Thanks for the discussion. I don't know who Ki5kj is I'm W1HDJ in schenectady NY. We are setting up remote operation from Schenectady's museum of Science. We'll access the club station (W2IR) from the museum floor for demonstrations and from Schenectady High School where we have an ARDC grant to bring more young folks into ham radio via the club's licensing class. We're keenly interested in folks practical experience with remote operation from multiple remote locations. We'lll be using the IC-7610 + the RSBA1-v2 software. Best Regards Paul

Thank you for making this talk available. I had a LOTW account years ago, let it lapse, moved, etc. I am ready to redeem myself an this will definitely help me.

Good info here. Being new to Alabama, and setting up a station again, this saved me some time asking about the local nets.😀

Full of info, but a bit dragged out...More concise and condensed would be best.

As soon as I open Gridtracker it starts clipping my ptt on my radio off and on and it stops when I close it any sugestions

Thank you for the presentaion. Life had pulled me away from Ham Radio for a few years. I'm getting active again, and one of those things is to get Lotw working again. 73 w6xyz

Thanks a bunch Greg for the meeting online .... will try again to do it again .... maybe from the field this time =) Pat de N5VMO

Nice comparison Greg and Chris =) Thanks for sharing =) de N5VMO Pat

AH-4 does work on 160, I do it all the time.

Thanks! Plan to refresh a laptop with this distro! Been using Linux since Red Hat Linux 4.2 (Biltmore) in 1997.

Very nice online meeting ...... love the presentation =) Same here ... been in Linux OS from 1997 also =) de N5VMO Pat

You put me to sleep. 3/4 way in and I have not learned anything.

Are the slides available??

As clear as mud!

SGC has pretty much shut down. No customer service, etc..

Great Zoom meeting on antennas Greg =) I had a closet full on antennas that where homebrew and pictures that most defy standard antenna types typically found in books =) EXPERIMENT and you will find antennas that work well =) For example my CAT 75 ohm coax folded dipole antenna with 1/4 wave 75 CAT coax feedline =) Works great ( dang I feel the need to build another one :-))) ( I had transmission line / antenna theory in college electronics degree ) de Pat N5VMO

Is there any cape sending messages? Or is it just good for signal reports?

The constant clearing of the throat is a little distracting.

No help at all !

How do I get on your Zoom meetings?

This was a great explanation of the sizes, thank you. I have used a piece of heat shrink tubing on each wire and a black hood to slide over both of the connectors followed up with a piece of heat shrink that covers both wires and the wire end of the hood. Very solid and nearly water proof at least at the wire end of the connectors.

Side note: it is illegal to kill or harass a fox in the state of Florida however there is a designated fox hunting season.🤔

My NANO VNA was set up once and once only, a matter of maybe ten minutes for four memories. The pararmeters are saved and brought into use by the recall function. What's time consuming about that? 4 to 8 MHz for my 60m inverted vee, 25 to 265 MHz which I should change to cover 50, 70 and 144 MHz, 10 to 20 MHz, 20 to 30 MHz and 3 to 10 MHz. It would be great if the screen was larger so I use a magnifying glass to read it. G4GHB.

How do you confirm QSO's ?

Oh no, want a bet, they always pull apart, by themselves, seriously, waste of time, effort and money,

I hate these bloody things, should be buried in a deep hole, along with it’s creator, spend all day trying to get them to work, then a slight pressure on the cable, and off it comes, poxy, absolutely poxy,

THIS CLEARED UP MY CONFUSION ABOUT THE 3 DIFFERENT SIZES. I SPENT 4 HOURS DOING MY FIRST CONNECTOR.

You certainly did get some numbers there Greg! This really does further assert the beneficial aspect of saltwater shoreline, vertical operation. Thank you, its great to see your research and hear you talk about it. 73

Great presentation! I've been using Gridtracker for quite awhile but you showed some features I was unaware of.

For a beginner you really can't go wrong with 30Amp, then it becomes about the features you want, analog, digital, meter display. If they are thinking ahead and want room to grow then 50Amp might be the way to go. It might cost more up front but they will be able to run more equipment (things they don't know they want yet but after watching a few videos will say OH Yeah I need that in my shack)

34 minutes of " uhhhhh......uhhhhhhh...uhhhhh"

IC-7300 power cord is 12AWG. Tight fit but it fit the 30A.

*promo sm* 👀

Cool software, but I'm in a bit over my head trying to model complex customized antennas. Thanks for the video.

So, I have no idea how you got the WSJT running. I have both programs separately, now trying to figure out how to get them both going at the same time and talking with each other. Do you always have to open both separately? Lots of questions before you get to the FT8 for beginners

is grid tracker and WSJ whatever 2 different programs?

Best club in the Panhandle. Thanks Bob! 73, Hamp

nice :-)

Thanks! I really liked getting some insight on Aircraft Scatter; I'm interested in trying it out. I'm curious, if Florida has an Aircraft Scatter Group? Also; is Aircraft Scatter limited to a maximum distance between stations? Stan, W5PDQ

hi they are great peces of gear 4 every hamm i personaly use 2 models of tuners the portable fc50 and fixed the fc 40 from yaesu both use a small 9 pin din cable
