In an expected announcement, Ham-com is closing it’s doors FOR GOOD! This comes on the heals of COVID-19 causing the Hamfest to be cancelled for 2020 and potentially for 2021. The announcement was made today, and I have some things to say about it, but also I have reached out to the Ham-com leaders for more information.
Ham-com is an AWESOME Hamfest. I will miss it, but I am going to gather more info about this recent announcement too!

On a recent Ask an Elmer live stream, the discussion turned toward headphones. What headphones do you use? A good pair can help in pulling out that hard to hear station from the noise.
Adam K6ARK and Rob SevenFortyOne recommended these:

Here’s a project to build a 4.5vdc power supply, converting from 12vdc. The schematic I used came from https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/blog/variable-voltage-power-supply.html, and I obtained the LM317T from www.sparkfun.com. And it works!

So I mentioned in a live stream that I got my DX Commander working on 160m without an 80m Element and also without a Roly-coil. Here’s how I did it. The results will surprise you! (Oh, it will do 60m also)
