Dear ARRL member,
Now Is The Time For All Good Hams To Come To The Aid Of Their Radio Service!
All amateurs are urgently requested to write letters to their US Representative. These letters are to ask them to cosponsor HR 462, the current bill in the US House [...]

Lots of kits these days use toroidal inductors. These are components that you have to make yourself. The kit vendor supplies a toroid core and some magnet wire, and tells you how many turns to wind.
For some people this is a real pain. Not only do you have to get the number of turns correct, [...]

NIST engineer Katherine MacReynolds prepares a new NIST “tabletop” range for characterizing high-performance antennas, such as horn antennas (small gold pyramids) operating at 94 Gigahertz. The surrounding blue foam cones absorb electromagnetic fields to reduce scattering from nearby objects, thereby improving measurement accuracy.Credit: © 2006 Geoffrey Wheeler.

This year, I didn’t go to Dayton. I figured that I already had too much junk in the shack and too many projects to work on, and if I did go, I’d come back with even more junk and more projects to put in the queue.
Fortunately, through the magic of the Web, this doesn’t mean [...]

Well, it took me a little longer than I anticipated, but the beta release of my The No-Nonsense, General Class License Study Guide is now available. The new General Class test is a bit harder, I think, than the old test.
Anyway, I’d be happy to have any and all review this. Comments and suggestions are [...]

Last night, was a really enjoyable one down in the shack.
When I first turned on the rig, it was tuned to 40m. I didn’t hear much, so I tuned up to 30m. 30m was really hopping. Almost immediately, I heard UT5XS calling CQ, and I worked him. After that short contact, I called CQ [...]
