903 MHz Yagi (hard to see); a pair of 2-ft dishes, back-to-back (one for 10 GHz,
other has a triband feed for 2.3, 3.4 and 5.7 GHz); and a Cushcraft dual-band
Yagi for 144 and 432 MHz. The six-meter antenna is the loop bolted to the front
tower leg. This photo also shows the 4-foot steel gin-pole pipe mounted to the
tower near the pivot point. This provides the mechanical advantage required to
raise the antennas into the operating position (an easy one-person job).

HOW AMATEUR RADIO IS CONNECTING ASTRONAUTS IN SPACE WITH KIDS ON EARTH:


HOW AMATEUR RADIO IS CONNECTING ASTRONAUTS IN SPACE WITH KIDS ON EARTH:

From : space.com on 2024-11-25


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consider this: It is now four decades ago that astronaut Owen Garriott, callsign
W5LFL, pioneered amateur radio communication from space. He was a crewmember on
the space shuttle program's STS-9 mission. During that space shuttle flight in
1983, Garriott became the first-ever person in space to communicate with amateur
radio operators on the ground. He was also the first person to be heard directly
from space by members of the public using simple radio receivers and scanners.
That event transformed astronaut communications from space forever, allowing
amateur radio operators and the public to communicate with people in space. But
don't change that dial! Much more is coming in terms of amateur radio and the
International Space Station.

THE BEARS OF MANCHESTER ARE RADIO READY FOR THE ROAD RACE:

From : fox61.com on 2024-11-24


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MANCHESTER, Conn. -- How does the Manchester Road Race keep up the pace? Part of
it is in the hands of the BEARS -- a group of Ham Radio operators who lend their
time and talents to help keep the Road Race running. BEARS is an acronym for
"Better Emergency Amateur Radio Service" and, this year, there will be 55 BEARs
spread across the Manchester Road Race course providing both leading runners
information and to help with any issues or emergencies that might occur.

IOWA’s NEPM Military-Amateur Cross-Band Activation for Pearl Harbor Remembrance

 

The Battleship IOWA Amateur Radio Association (BIARA) and the IOWA’s Innovation,
Engineering and Technology Team (IET) will activate the ship’s original NEPM
Navy call sign on December 7 and 8, 2024. Hours of operation both days are
expected to be from 0700 PST (1500 UTC) to 1700 PST (0100 UTC).

 

This activation will be in memory of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and all
the radio amateurs and aficionados who answered the call taking their skills
into the military and civilian war efforts. Enjoy Radio at War
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUx_hqwHM1I) and Amateur Radio Before and
During WWII
(https://bw.billl.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Radio-History-03-Amateur-Radio-Before-and-During-WWII-By-Dan-Davis-W8LUX.pdf)
to follow what amateur radio operators brought to bear during this period.

 

We thank the ARRL and their legal team for working with the Federal
Communications Commission to obtain a waiver to Section 97.111(a) to allow
appropriately licensed amateur radio operators to work NEPM for this limited
event.

 

Amateurs are reminded that they may NOT transmit on the military frequencies
issued to NEPM. Amateur radio operators must operate within the privileges of
their licenses. Licensees of other countries not under the US’s FCC jurisdiction
are advised to refer to the regulations imposed by their licensing agencies
before calling NEPM.

 

Note that all phone operations are on UPPER SIDEBAND as the military does not
authorize us to use LSB.

NEPM transmit frequency and mode:                              Expected
listening frequency:

7.469 MHz USB/J3E                                                      7.261 MHz
USB/J3E

12.382 MHz CW/A1A                                                     14.061 MHz

21.856 MHz USB/J3E                                                    21.361

            Please note that listed listening frequencies are a starting point.
The operator will tell you where we are listening to minimize your causing
interference to stations in band that are not aware you are communicating with
NEPM outside the amateur bands.

 

For an NEPM QSL please follow the instructions found on our Web site at
https://biara.org.

 

The National Museum of the Surface Navy at Battleship IOWA will formally open on
the US Navy’s 250th birthday on October 13, 2025. Under the management of the
Pacific Battleship Center the IOWA is open for tours from 1000 to 1600 Pacific
Local Time year-round except Thanksgiving and Christmas. To arrange a visit to
the Communication’s Center and BIARA’s radio operations or to guest operate
NI6BB, you may email info@biara.org or w6hb@biara.org.

HAM RADIO WORKSHOP ENGAGES PEOPLE OF ALL BACKGROUNDS:


HAM RADIO WORKSHOP ENGAGES PEOPLE OF ALL BACKGROUNDS:

From : mtexpress.com on 2024-11-23


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul and Tana Dean first got interested in amateur radio, also known as "ham:
radio, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bellevue residents said they were
concerned about safety and being able to communicate during emergency
situations, so they decided to get a radio. Ham radio operators are restricted
to use certain frequencies and are not allowed to do any business. It is simply
for private recreation or emergency communications. This form of communication
was developed in the early 1900s, with the word "ham" mocking operators who
weren't skilled in Morse code. They were referred to as "ham-fisted," according
to the National Association for Amateur Radio.

EHAM.NET VISION STATEMENT

To build the largest and most complete Amateur Radio community site on the
Internet - a "portal" that hams think of as the first place to go for
information, to exchange ideas, and be part of what’s happening with ham radio
on the Internet. eHam.net provides recognition and enjoyment to the people who
use, contribute, and build the site.

This project involves a management team of volunteers who each take a topic of
interest and manage it with passion. The site will stand above all other ham
radio sites by employing the latest technology and professional
design/programming standards, developed by a team of community programmers who
contribute their skills to the effort. The site will be something of which
everyone involved can be proud to say they were a part.

We welcome your comments.

The eHam.net Team, Revision 07/2020.
