Unlike trucking everything you own to a park for a POTA activation or field day, packing ham gear for a motorcycle trip is much more like packing for a SOTA activation. Heres a look at what I’m doing to pack lite and play big.

A long time ago… a very long time ago now… TheSmokinApe sent over a 3d printed dipole kit and I never had a chance to put it together until now. Combining that with some left over DX Commander parts, I’ve got a working Dipole for the upper part of the 80m band.
I’ll use this antenna for the upcoming Wisconsin QSO Party.
The DX Commander Instructions say to cut the 80m element for 19.5m. I matched the other side with another 19.5m of DX Commander wire. This came out fairly well for the lower part of the band. 1.5:1 at around 3.5MHz if I recall, but you’ll see it in the video. From there I folded it back for a broad match at the upper end of the band where voice comms live.

Often, during the summer months, it is often possible to hear FM broadcast stations from far and wide thanks to the Ionosphere and Troposphere bending signals over the horizon. There are a few tricks to getting the most out of tuning the broadcast band looking for that distant station however.
At the next AREG meeting on Friday the 20th of November, Andy, VK5LA will give a presentation on “DXing” the FM band. He will discuss, what gear is needed, what gear works best and how to identify stations you don’t normally hear and cover topics like locations, antenna polarisation, and explore the RDS station ID feature built in to most modern FM receivers.
Andy will also discuss using the ACMA database to determine if that exotic station you’ve just tuned in to is 70, 700 or 1700 km away and describe the various propagation modes that make this interesting activity possible. Finally he will take a look at how that information can be used to predict openings on the 6 metre (50MHz) band and above.
