W4HKL: October 2013
http://w4hkl.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 04, 2013. Student Radio Club of Campbell County - JHS. My attempt at starting a high school amateur radio club is underway. Approx 33 ft vertical radiator housed in telescoping fiberglass mast.). If you look closely, you can see the two guys on each side consisting of polyrope. Probably not needed, but adds enough support so the antenna won't "give" much in strong storms. 9 foot ground for current tuner (AH-4 - not pictured) and approx 200 yards of fencing as a counterpoise. Dplus D-Star ...

W4HKL: W4HKL Station Antennas
http://w4hkl.blogspot.com/2010/02/w4hkl-station-antennas.html
Sunday, February 14, 2010. Here are my antennas. Not a lot, but they do what i need them to do. I'm most impressed with the 80 meter Half-Wave End Fed vertical/inverted-L/longwire (you decide what it is! It tunes form 80 - 10 and seems to do really well 80 -20 meters. For VHF/UHF, I rely on a Diamond X3200 Triband vertical. Diamond X3200 (click photos for larger image). For my repeater/remote base, I use a Cushcraft ARX450B. A descendant of the old Ringo Rangers. Some pictures of my HF setup. The front o...

W4HKL: July 2014
http://w4hkl.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Echolink Node Off The Air. Those listening to my echolink node on 446.150 simplex (T100Hz) will need to use echolink on their own is they wish to continue to listen in or check in to the Good Morning Net or the various evening nets. Use echolink on your computer to connect to *DoDropIn* node #355800. I ran afoul of some sort of connection rule or some such and I honestly don't really care to jump through any hoops in order to connect. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

W4HKL: Updates
http://w4hkl.blogspot.com/2015/07/updates.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. 443950 is off the air until I can replace the antenna. It appears to have slowly degraded over the past 2 years. The desense issue has now been eliminated up to the jumper or the repeater antenna. Info gleaned from the web would indicate that the Diamond 718 antennas can't handle the mountaintop locations for - of all reasons - heavy moisture condensation at altitude. Go figure. 73 disconnects while simply inputting the IRLP node or reflector number will connect.
