Across The Street From My Workplace The great Forney tornado of 2012 On April 3 2012 there was a pretty large Tornado outbreak here in the North Texas area. Because I had 8 to 10 operators on my roster I felt we may have had it covered. I was mistaken. It appeared that my ARES unit wasn't interested. So your intrepid hero saddled up to wrangle the twisting wind. While my faithful net control operated relay and took my reports. An exciting time was had by all. Then I went into work and put dry ice on the meat counter.

Farewell Beloved Elmer Whit N5SU This is heart felt Farewell To one of my Elmers Whit N5SU. Loved by all that knew him. What did Whit teach me. Don't be afraid of amateur radio.

Episode 41 Awesome Feedback Show Notes 00:00 LHS Promo 00:34 Theme 01:27 Intro Back in the studio this time.The Resonant Frequency website has been moved and blacksparrowmedia.com is no more. The new web site is rfpodcast.info. Linux in the Ham Shack is at lhspodcast.info. To contact Richard, use kb5jbv@gmail.com. 03:00 Donations The two podcasts are now financially separated, so please consider making a donation to the Resonant Frequency podcast to show your support. 04:46 Feedback Craig, KD8NJZ, posted a comment at the forums on the old site. He enjoys the podcast as well as The Practical Amateur Radio Podcast and Teen Radio Journey. Ray, KO4RB, also posted a comment on the web site to welcome Resonant Frequency back "on the air". BB, KC5PIY, writes to ask for help finding episodes 1-11 and 33. BB is the webmaster for Intertie, Inc., http://www.intertie.org, "a private amateur radio 501(c)(3) organization whose members have constructed and operate 23 remotely controlled base stations, (Remote Base), interconnected through full duplex links. These linked systems cover a large part of Texas and are an integral part of the larger Cactus Intertie System consisting of over 150 Remote Base sites and 20 affiliate clubs." There is some sort of problem with the feed to iTunes. We're working on it, but if you have any experiance with RSS feeds and Drupal, please contact Richard. If you're looking for old episodes, they are all available at rfpodcast.info under the "Podcast Archive" button near the top of the page. WW, KB9TMP, also writes to welcome back Resonant Frequency. He agrees that most of the repeaters in his area go quiet after about 6:00pm. The only busy repeater is a linked repeater www.w9win.org, and even it is not that busy. He has a simplex EchoLink node 7492, KB9TMP-L. David, N5DBK, writes to express his appreciation for the return of Resonant Frequency, and shares his thoughts about the 2-meter "wasteland" Richard talked about in Episode 41. 22:31 Song "Do You Mean It" by Magic Slim and the Teardrops, from the album "Raising The Bar". 25:57 If you're involved in the Section Manager election for the ARRL North Texas section, please contact Richard. 27:24 Feedback Gary, WR1U, also writes in about the lack of traffic on his local repeaters, and even simplex is quiet. Gary has started a Facebook www.facebook.com continued group for blind amateur radio operators. If you're on Facebook, look for it. Richard notes that part of the reason simplex VHF traffic has fallen off is due to uncoordinated repeaters, some D-Star, that have cropped up on the simplex portion of the band. Ray, KO4RB, writes again to welcome Resonant Frequency back. BB, KC5PIY, also signed up as a listener on the web site and had some problems with the process. If you're have trouble signing up, please contact Richard for assistance. Chris, NW5W, writes to say he is having problems subscribing to the podcast through iTunes.Ted welcomes RF back and usually agrees with Richard's opinions. 38:22 Song "Shame" by Magic Slim and the Teardrops, from the album "Raising The Bar". 42:16 Topic More thoughts about the VHF/UHF wasteland. Remember that we lost part of the 220MHz band partly because it was under-utilized by hams. So, get out there and use the repeaters! Resonant Frequency has taken on an advertiser to help defray costs. Look for a show about 2010 Field Day coming soon. If you're in the North Texas ARRL Section, contact Richard to discuss the current situation. You may hear Richard on D-Star, VHF or HF. Give him a call! And send us you feedback. Without your participation and feedback we don't have a show.

Worth area is taken. So, why can't you find someone to talk to after 11:00pm? Years ago, that was not the case. Is the 2m band dead at night in your area? Any idea why? Let me know. Around here, 2m is busy at drive times, and a few nets in the evening, but after that, nothing. If we don't use it, we'll lose it. Don't let VHF and UHF become a Waste Land 26:05 Song "Smack Talkin' Mama" by Ray Campi, Kevin Fennell from the album "Hard Rockin' Head Knockin'" 31:11 Conclusion Visit our Youtube channel for videos on Amateur Radio www.youtube.com/c/RichardBaileyKB5JBV Read More About Resonant Frequency: The Amateur Radio Podcast At www.rfpodcast.info Check out our Glossary of Amateur / Ham Radio Terms used on the shows HERE amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "resonantfre0c-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "search"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = "ham radio aprs"; amzn_assoc_default_category = "All"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "6bf6f2cec828e054a7a9576e5c8be77a"; amzn_assoc_design = "in_content";

We'll try to have new content next month. 02:59 Song: "Beast of Burden" by Altered Five from the album "Bluesified" 07:27 Topic: Dipole antennas. (From episode 13)Half-wave dipole antennas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna Some statistics say that 19 out of 20 new hams never get on the air. Is it because they don't have an antenna? A half-wave dipole is inexpensive, easy to build, and quite effective. The formula for calculating the length of a dipole is:Length (feet) = 468 / frequency (MHz) or,Length (meters) = 143 / frequency (Mhz)Here are a few references to help get you started:http://www.k7mem.150m.com/Electronic_Notebook/antennas/dipole.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20091021224152/http://geocities.com/n2uhc/dipole.htmlYou may wish to try a G5RV antenna, which can be used on many bands. http://www.astrosurf.com/luxorion/qsl-g5rv-2.htm 40:30 Song: "Heaven" by Los Lonely Boys from the album "Live At Blue Cat Blues - Dallas Texas" 44:24 Topic: Dipole antennas, part 2.

What's the best height and does it have to be a straight, flat dipole? How does the ground affect things? Most wire antennas are a compromise in one respect or another. What about NVIS (near-vertical incident skywave)? 29:31 Song: "Ever Be Here Again" by Kelly Joe Phelps, from the album "Lead Me On (15 Year Anniversary Edition)" 33:36 Conclusion: Thanks everyone for your mentions on blogs, sharing the podcasts, etc.Look for Resonant Frequency Live in the near future.
