8 For The Record Point In Time Conditions 8
9 It was a sunny Saturday, (KG5CEN,) Glen had called me (KE5QKR) the weekend before and it just didn t work out. Bummer. Then, the skies cleared, the stars aligned and we got together and knocked it out. Going into battle with a mighty OAK, we used the Cheap Old Man antenna launcher to get the Cajun Line fishing monofilament over the branches. With that, we hoisted the ropes needed and pulled up the off center fed dipole balun with weather sealed coax connection up in the tree. Then we found and/or made a path through the tree for the two dipole elements, one side with a coil, to have a point to grab on to in order to complete the inverted V plan. Once up, we drove in the ground rod at the side of the house and ran the ground wire from the shack, installed the through the window connector plate and the coax and went straight for the magic. SWR s FLAT. Power looks good. No RF biting us. What?!? No sparks or flames? Oh this is not looking good. This can t be right! Oh No! What did we do wrong?!? First contact on 20 meters made! We heard him, he heard us! Success! Welcome to HF Glenn and congrats on the station and the license upgrade! Sounded great on the 10 meter and 75 meter nets this Friday. Lot s to learn for all of us my friend. Have fun, take your time, and LISTEN LISTEN, LISTEN. 73 de KE5QKR 9
10 KG5CEN recently installed an OCF dipole with his HF station and found out what it takes. What doe is take to get on HF? Watts, Wires and Waves of Course! 10

15 KG5NXY Things Are Heating Up with Carl after a RPi rag chew on the.27 repeater As per our last talk, I put together a 3 W near-ir flashlight, that I was going to give to you to use with your new Pi Noir camera. It was made from a high tech EX-P near-ir LED and Dollar Tree Flashlight: But it only worked intermittently with 3 batteries or 4.5 volts, lighting up for a few seconds and then fading out. The EX-P handles 5 volts max so I figured it was okay with 4.5 volts, It got hot, but then it outputs 3 watts... And it didn't work at all at 3 volts. Later I got another EX-P to work with a 3.7 volt LiPo battery. Since I began writing I got an idea that this nodule needs to be mounted on a heat sink, which it is definitely not. First thought was to make a heat sink out of a can and use heat conducting silicone between it and the metal backing of the EX-P, but I don't have any silicone... The other though is, maybe this unit needs a small fan. When it works, this NoirFlash will increase the range of your Pi Noir camera dramatically. 15

17 Thanks for mentioning the new Satellite WB5CXJ! 17
18 It has come to my (KE5QKR) audible attention that several HAM s that visited the W5DDL Rayne Hamfest have picked up some new equipment. I didn t get to see the details, while there, but I got to hear that new equipment on the Friday night W5SLA NET s this past go around and all I can say is WOW! Manny (WB5CJB) and John (AA5UY), that is some good sounding equipment you all used on this Friday s nets. If you, OR ANYONE for that matter, have the time and want to share your shack pics. SEND ME SOME SHACK PICTURES PLEASE; qrmeditor@w5sla.net WE WANNA SEE! 18
