Hi John, Just curious if there is any noise radiation from the buck as compared to a linear voltage regulator. Frank N6CES

Has WHAT already been asked (or answered)?

Don, Yep! That was it. I recognize the wording now. Frank i

Hmmmm . . . . Heisenberg, didn't he build the Zeppelin? Frank

I think so. There was some radio pioneer's name thought to be the originator, but don't remember who. At 79, I'm not as smart as I used to be, and probably was not as smart as I then thought I was! Fr

Hi Terry, I like your "I love this radio stuff" saying! I ran across this . . . One ham was trying to explain the magic of wireless communication by saying its kinda like a long telegraph wire across

Dog whistle Cricket. I found the sidetones mod info. There first changed C-15 to a 30pf which did well, but later changed it to a variable (anything that tunes 15 to 60 will do). They tore one out of

Dog whistle sidetones? Well, outside of eating Kibbles and dog biscuits, it seems like I remember a modification published on the Cricket 80 that changed the value of a cap (C-7?). Another ham install

If you go to Lowe's or Home Depot, check out their illuminated bulb display. They have a "vintage" bulb that has a standard size screw-in base, is about 4" tall, and emits an "Amber tint" illumination

Hi Bob, Antennas are the magic part of ham radio. Your 4sqrp tuner is a great one, basically designed for use with a "random length wire" antenna and a counterpoise wire. For portable use, the antenna

Hi Bob, What you have should work fine. After I read your attached article, I discovered it's not a standard 40 meter dipole. Your feedline type alters the dipole design to allow a shorter leg length,

Hi, At only 22ft per leg, sounds like you might have a 30 meter dipole, resonant around 10 mHz. Adding a 4 to 1 BALUN will take the balanced feedline to balanced 50 ohms to enter your tuner. Frank N6C

What is FS?

Gary, Kentucky is beautiful. If you get a chance, go North on 31W a little ways to West Point. As a teenager, I spent time there with my grandfather who lived about 2 blocks from the river. I was born

Good morning Gary, I was just joking around while sorting out all the wire jumpers in my rigblaster duo. I thought I'd thrown enough fairy dust in my story to make it funny, but not believable. Maybe

Hi Larry, Yep, I agree, ham radio as developed over the years. Got my ticket at 14 in 1954. Many years of fun. Just thought I'd relay my 78 year old understanding of the explanation I got when I asked

Hmmm. . . . DMR . . . Isn't that where you use a specifically equipped radio, on a specific frequency, with specific coding, specific color banding, at a specific time slot, using a specific password

Hey Bill, Do you know they've still got $2 bills in circulation? No place in cash register for them. What about silver dollars? No register place for them either. How long has it been since you've bee

I looked at the Lowe's link and noticed in the spring's product specifications that it weighs 9 pounds. Might work well if one end of it was fastened to the support pole or tree and other end to the r

Hobby Lobby has a good selection of inexpensive wooden boxes with lids (some hinged), that are great! Not all cities have a store, but you can look online. Frank N6CES
