Getting Hams On The Air For Life?

Getting Hams On The Air For Life?

I had the opportunity to speak to the "Get On The Air For Life" team, part of the ARRL. They wanted me to speak on engaging with 25-45 year old amateur radio operators, how to get them active, and keep them active.

FINALLY! The #KX2 Has Internal Charging! Elecraft Kit Install!

FINALLY! The #KX2 Has Internal Charging! Elecraft Kit Install!

For me, there was only one issue with the Elecraft KX2 cementing itself as one of the best QRP radios are on the market. It’s lack of ability to charge the internal battery from an external source via the radios power jack. Elecrafts new (KXIBC2) KX2 internal battery charger is out now: https://elecraft.com/products/kxibc2-kx2-internal-battery-charger-kit

How to Calculate Multiple Banded End Fed Half Wave (EFHW)

How to Calculate Multiple Banded End Fed Half Wave (EFHW)

I explain the basics of the End Fed Half Wave (EFHW) Antenna, and how i calculate the lengths of my antenna for my targeted bands. I also go over some harmonics and how this can be used to combine a couple of bands on a single antenna.

Links:
Centuriioneye 160 PCS Spade Connector – https://amzn.to/3lAMNB9
BNTECHGO 20 Gauge Silicone Wire – https://amzn.to/419yWSE
ARRL Band Plan – http://www.arrl.org/band-plan
Antenna Formula – https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/antennas-propagation/dipole-antenna/length-calculations-equation-formula.php

Math Notes:
Target bands
10M = 29
15M = 21.325
17M = 18.139
20M = 14.25
40M = 7.2125

cut
Magic Number (468) feets
17M = 25.8, 25′ 9.6"
20M = 32.84, 32′ 10.08"
40M = 64.88, 64′ 10.56"

Elements going to cut:
17M = 25.8, 25′ 9.6"
20m = 7.04, 7′ .48"
40M = 32.04 32′ .48"
