HRN 544: Narrow FM, Anyone?

HRN 544: Narrow FM, Anyone?

The Western Washington Amateur Relay Association has adopted a plan to migrate all repeaters in their area to ‘Narrow FM’ over the next 10 years.

The idea is to increase the number of repeater channels (and the number of repeaters). The plan could as much as double the number of available repeater channels.

It’s mostly simple. For users, it’s probably a menu setting in their radios, but OLDER radios won’t have that option.

For repeater owners, it *may* be as simple as a menu setting for more modern UHF repeaters. On two meters, it’s likely also a small frequency adjustment, and trimming up a duplexer, but if the repeater is really old, it might be replacement time.

Members of the WWARA will be here to talk about it.

Routing Coax to Attic Shack (#1205)

Routing Coax to Attic Shack (#1205)

Noel, W4NFI, is putting his shack up in his attic but isn’t sure how to route the coax and ground all the way up there. He wants to use more than just a glass mount antenna but preferably doesn’t want to poke holes in the window frame. What does Dave suggest?
