    APRS via Web

    I tried and so far is doesn't work. I left my radio someplace that has ok, but not great signal and I just tried again. I will check tonight, to see if I got the message. Is it hidden because it doesn't work?:blink:

    If you haven't looked at (KX4R) Capt n' Crunch's shack pics...

    Some Practical Questions - Exploring Ham Radio

    Lazarid Anarion, you did a good job. As a new HAM I will add a few items only a new guy can. VHF/HF Depending on where you are located VHF, may not have any traffic or may have traffic only during drive time. I am not a club person, but in this case, with limited resources joining a club will...

    HAMSPHERE

    I finally googled it. It is a non-radio, radio. It is a computer based simulated radio. As a computer geek it is somethign I would be interested in, if I could make it more realistic (feed in Antenna info to understand how well they work, and allow traffic out of simulation). As is, it...

    Manual/Auto antenna tuners

    I haven't made it back to HRO, but I did make it to Universal. The guy I talked with was very knowledgeable, but I felt like I was talking to a used car salesman who was trying to sell what he had on the floor. It could be because I was looking for HT stuff and HF stuff and had too many...

    HT and longer wires

    The other night I was sitting in a location playing with my VX-8R and SRH789 antenna. It was setup to receive APRS on channel B and I was receiving contacts. Then I started listening to shortwave on channel A. This wasn’t coming in very good, so I attached a long SW wire to the SRH789...

    Three People Killed While Erecting Ham Antenna

    I posted this on QRZ, but I will post it here also. It is very sad. The Tech manual has rules about staying away from power lines. The General manual has rules about staying away from power lines. So why do we loose a few hams every year to this? It is not ignorance, because they should know...
