Thanks.

Since I'm only using my FM handheld with a portable antenna, the feedline is only 3 feet long!

Is DXing even possible on VHF FM during sporadic e with only 5W?

I'm asking this because all I have is a VX-7R handheld and the Arrow Antenna (used for satellite contacts).

Thanks

will try

Hi. I'm looking for a HF multiband antenna that would be practical for a school rooftop (flat) that'll cost less than $100 with minimal installation.

Note that the rooftop to the station is a very short distance... probably less than 30ft of feedline.

I've been reading about the G5RV but I get the impression that the invert v configuration (space saving) isn't as promising.

Thanks.

Hello to all,

I've just started a ham radio club at my school with the callsign WP4NYK, with me being the trustee.

It's been sometime already and our club is still in real need of equipments. Without a radio, we can't really do anything. We're trying our best to raise funds.

I'm asking if there are any radio amateurs out there that would be willing to donate some old radio equipment, etc. for starting a station.

N2RRA has donated some equipments to us (thank you!), but we still need a working radio as of now and other things to get a station up and running.
Any help anyone can provide will be great.

Any questions about anything... please email me at wp4nxa@arrl.net
or reply here if you cannot reach me via email.

I assure you this is not a fraud.

,Thanks

What's the best way to mount wire dipoles on a rooftop. What mounting hardware should I use at a reasonable price. If there is a non penetrating way- even better cause it's a school rooftop. Also, please link to a company's site if you can.

Also, is just drilling a mast enough to support an HF vertical?

Thanks.

Hey.

Today, we just received a donation from a local ham to our school radio club. It's a TS-820. I think we'll sand it and paint over it because it just look pretty old and rusted... Any suggestions for testing the radio that probably hasn't been used for years?

Thanks.

Let's say that I am applying my school for a ARISS contact. Typically, assuming that it'll be approve, how long does it take?

Thanks... and the cheapst way for getting equipment for a requirement for school contact?

Anyway, any recommendation on being able to talk to an astronaut?

Sorry about that, I didn't noticed it'd posted 3 times. It said the first 2 time had an error.. so I didn't know.

Anyone that actually had a casual contact with the ISS crew that was not during a school contact?
