- These antennas (at least the Larson Glass Mount) are fine business in my
- opinion. As I previously stated, it really depends on the tinting material
- used in the glass. If you have tinted glass, it might be wise to check with
- the antenna mfg first. Mine worked on my Ford Pickup with non-tinted glass
- as well as my 5/8 mag mount. When I transferred it to my Explored that has
- some sort of tinting at the top part of the glass, it didn't work nearly as
- well (ie 2.3:1 vs 1.2:1 on the pickemup). It is worth the effort to check
- on the glass, IMHO, because there is no drilling and it provides a sanitary
- installation.

- Well I have one by Lakeview (Ham Sticks People). Easiest thing to mount, and
- comes with the wrench and a plastic alignment tool.. in case you need them. The
- quality of the materials is EXCELLENT.. the antenna works VERY well.. blows the
- doors off the 1/4 wave mag mount I have been using. I checked the SWR.. almost
- 1:1 on most of the repeater I use.. and the worst at the bottom edge was 1.1:1.
-
- The SWR readings were with NO TUNING... just stuck the antenna on...

- In response to a recent question about the contact point for AMSAT. Quoting
- from the editor's column in the latest AMSAT Journal:
- "AMSAT pronsors three mailing list on the Internet. The most widely
- subscribed is called amsat-bb and it is a general bulletin board and
- discussion group for matters relating to AMSAT, satellites, technology,

- Hello everyone! I am thinking about Field Day comming up and I have a
- few ???'s. I have been into ham radio for 4 months with my general class
- license. I have a Yaesu FT301AD and I was thinking about running my own FD
- site.
-
- The problem is that I can't afford a generator, and I have verry little
- experience with putting antennas up in the middle of a field or what ever the
- terrain may be.
-
- I have a 100' long wire, a 10 meter vertical (converted 11m vert), and
- soon to be 20m dipole. And a MFJ tuner.
-
- I have thought of running my rig with the car bateries, just plop the
- radio in the right seat. (But remaining in the same spot at all times).
-
- Would the car approach work or would the 15 amp radio suck my battery
- dry in no time? PLEASE HELP! I really want to go for some real points, and I
- personally think comercial power is not as challenging.

- Why on EARTH do you need to run 100 watts? You get 1 or 2 points for over
- 150 watts, 2 or 4 for 6-150 watts, and 5 or 10 for <5 watts. I find it a
- heck of a lot more challenging to run 5 watts and see just what I can do.
- And the installation of antennas in a tree is what it's really about.
- Remove your car battery, take the radio off somewhere, put up a tent,
- throw up the antennas, and have a good time (maybe good to not be alone,
- as well).
-
- I managed roughly 130 QSO's (all but 5 on CW) last year and got 1300+
- points out of it. At the 100 watt level, you'd need 325 Q's to get the
- same point total. And nearly 100% of my operation was on 80 meters, as
- I hadn't cut a dipole for 20 (but I will this year).
-
- YES, 15 amps will NOT do well for your car battery. But run QRP, and
- your fresh car battery might just get you through the whole 24-hour
- period. You'd be surprised just what an effect a good antenna system
- can have.
-
- The U of MD club (W3EAX) used to do FD's with a vengeance. We mounted
- tribanders on a couple of really big (100') light towers in this public
- park that allowed us to stay overnight. And then we built this 80m
- log periodic, with something like 22 elements (never got it to work,
- though). But it was sure a lot of fun running the pileups on 15 and 20
- on just 5 watts (i.e. we WERE the station people were piling up FOR!),
- and to just hear the reaction when we said we were running 5 watts to
- a tribander at 100 feet...
-
- That was the year I worked Hawaii on 15 CW around 8 p.m. local time.
- Boy, was that fun.

- Hold Health and Welfare Traffic
- Greg Pool WH6DT
-
- During a disaster, we hear many Amateur Radio stations passing welfare
- traffic. It's the easiest traffic to pass, there's no time limit and it
- is the most visible part of emergency communications.
-
- Many times an operator will sit on a 40 or 20 m frequency specifically
- because they have everything set up for a phone patch into a specific
- area of the country. Sometimes operators are given free long distance
- accounts to place those calls. Everyone can hear the anguish in the
- voices over the phone and the caller thanking the operator over and over
- for their dedication and service.
-
- That kind of instant gratification can be intoxicating for the rest of
- the Amateur Community, to the point of passing welfare traffic without
- considering the consequences. From my own experience in disaster
- communications, most welfare traffic is supportive but not necessary.
- In fact holding on to that initial query will probably get you an answer
- faster than if you had actually sent it.
-
- Incoming vs Outgoing
- Let's divide it up. There's INCOMING welfare traffic, where a party
- sends a message to a party within the disaster area; and there's
- OUTGOING, where the party within the disaster sends a message to the
- outside.
-
- What does it take to run an outgoing message? It takes an operator in
- the disaster area and anybody on the outside willing to pass it.
- Usually there are more than enough volunteers to do help deliver it.
-
- But incoming is much more intensive. Not only does the operator on the
- inside accept the traffic, they either finds a runner or run it
- themselves. Rarely are either of those choices viable options. You
- cannot leave your station, the person next to you already has 20 things
- to do, and the phone lines must be left open for civilian and civic
- disaster relief agencies.
-
- Thus, incoming welfare traffic is a luxury. The victim will get word
- out eventually, even originate their own outgoing message. If they are
- dead, they are dead; your messages will not help them. If they are
- injured, then a disaster relief agency will attend to them; but if you
- are a thousand miles away, what more can you do? By sending that
- message, you tax the relief effort even more.
-
- We Were Not Thinking
- The Amateur Radio response to the Northridge Earthquake in Los Angeles
- was replete with bad habits. Many Amateur Radio operators sent and
- accepted incoming welfare traffic on many of the HF nets and packet;
- there were very few "outgoing-only" nets. In the San Francisco Bay
- Area, one Amateur Radio operator provided his phone number to a local TV
- station so that people could contact him for incoming welfare traffic.
-
- We were not thinking beyond just being on the air. We were not thinking
- about what it took to pass that traffic in the disaster area. We were
- not thinking about what passing incoming traffic took away from those in
- need.
-
- Many of the stations accepting the incoming traffic used local phone
- lines to contact the disaster parties, and in the first few days the
- success rate was terrible. In doing so, however, it meant that someone
- who had emergency or priority traffic could not use the phone because it
- was being tied up needlessly.
-
- It is a matter of precedence and responsibilitiy. The best thing you
- can do is not originate or accept any incoming welfare messages in the
- first week after disaster. There's usually nothing the sending party
- can do anyway except wait or sponsor a disaster relief agency. Why tie
- up the network needlessly?
-
- Instead, stand by to originate and accept outgoing messages. You will
- not handle as much traffic, and I may not hear (or see) your callsign as
- often, but you will have freed up an operator in a disaster area to
- become part of the solution and not part of the problem.

- Well sure, that's Canada. Here in the US we still have the tatters
- of a Bill of Rights. In a nearby local town they ran a vicious
- speed trap. A farmer put up a sign just outside the city limits that
- read, "Warning, speed trap ahead run by local parasites." They took

- is still a defense in this country.
-
- It's not illegal to talk on the radio about any cop you see.
- Our traffic reporters do it all the time. And it's not illegal
- to follow cops around and photograph them in action, our photographers
- do it all the time. Their activities are public, and hence in the
- public domain.

-
- Aother Story:
- ------------
- This one isn't about weirdos or any thing .... but at a test session
- some time ago, there was an 83 year-old ham who came in to sit for
- his 20 wpm cw test. The "lead" CW examiner was actually a "neighbor"
- of his. Anyway, the old fellow was very nervous and used a combination
- of cursive and printed characters in his writing. He passed only
- 6 of the 10 questions, so I sat down and counted letters. His writing
- was pretty awful, but the "third" CW VE and I went thru letter-by-
- letter and counted them. It wasn't easy .... but we counted something
- like 120 letters in a row. Unfortunately, the "lead" VE could not
- make the same count ... nor were two other VEs who were called over
- to look at the handwritten copy. So, now we had 5 VEs, with the
- first two saying "yes" and the other three saying "no".
-
- The key problem came down to a word like "KLM" or something.
- He had even re-written the word to "try" and make it clearer - but...
- The "three 'no' VEs" said he had printed a "KLK". I said -
- no way BECAUSE - the two supposed "K"s didn't look like each
- other. I explained that a "K" is written with only 3 strokes
- of the pen - using shapes like: | / \ and the letter
- "M" MUST have 4 strokes of the pen (which the examinee did have)
- using: | \ / |.
-
- Anyway, the VE coordinater refused and had the three "NO" VEs take
- responsibility for the examinee's 610. After the session, I
- wrote a letter to the VEC and explained my contention
- that the examinee had actually "passed" and that his written
- copy should be reviewed again ... using my argument of the
- 3 versus 4 strokes of the pen to make an "M".
-
- Bottom line .... the VEC came back and "recommended" that the
- old fellow had indeed passed and that the original "third"
- VE and the two of us who said "yes" should sign off on his
- CSCE. We did and it all worked out for the best.
-
- Actually, it may be possible that the examinee, due to his
- advanced years (much less his nervousness) may not have been
- able to write "clearly" as demanded by some of the VEs.
- I almost wondered if that guy would have had a case for an
- age-discrimination lawsuit (arrghhhh). Anyway, alls well that
- ends well.
