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.

Apologies for any pops and clicks. 07:12 Song "Funky Way" by Mark Hummel, from the album "Retro-Active". 11:52 Rant VHF / UHF Waste landEvery VHF and UHF repeater pair within 70 miles of the Dallas/Ft. 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. (From episode 14)Richard continues his discussion of dipole antennas, and introduces fan dipoles, long/random wires, and loop antennas. 1:17:44 Song: "Misunderstood" by Carolyn Wonderland from the album "Miss Understood" 1:21:11 Topic: Stealth antennas (From episode 18)Low profile, or stealth, antennas.

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.

Embarrassing Ham Nets Hello everybody, first I would like to apologize for the amount of time it has been since the last RRA. I recently found myself in the hospital and have been having to spend a tremendous amount of time recuperating but we are hoping to get the show back on track so that you can hear my melodious voice regularly. We recently did a live recording on the Resonant Frequency Discord server and we would like everybody to join us for future recording sessions click this link and it will take you right over there. Do the verification and and you will be ready to go. The server is located at https://discord.gg/3vZQNdZ79B This time I wanted to talk a few minutes about something I found very disturbing recently. That is to say "What The Hell Has Happened To Amateur Radio Nets?" I am not talking about the old and well established nets but the new and improved idiotic ragchew sessions that are being spoon fed to the new operators because they don't know any better. Listen a bit and form your own opinion. Glossary - See Glossary for terms used on the show.

It's a great way to promote the hobby, and it's fun! Song: 13:29 "Harpo-Ventillation" by Mark Hummel, from the album "Mark Hummel's Blues Harmonica Blowouts" Topic: 15:12 SLI, Marine and Deep-cycle Batteries Start, Light and Ignition (SLI) batteries are designed to deliver a lot of energy in a short time, not to deliver steady power over a long time.Marine batteries are a compromise between marine and deep-cycle batteries, and share characteristics of both.A deep-cycle battery is designed to be repeatedly discharged 80% of capacity and can deliver a steady current for a long period of time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_cycle_car_battery 24:55 Testing deep-cycle batteries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-cycle_battery 27:58 1.

Gel cells are a type of valve-regulated, lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. They have a pressure-relief valve to allow venting of hydrogen during overcharging, and a gelled electrolyte. Theyhave a greater resistance to extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration than typical wet-cellbatteries like the common car battery.(Contrary to what Richard says, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas. The "rotten egg" smellfrom an over-charging car battery is due to the creation of hydrogen sulfide gas, H2S. -Ed.)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide36:04 Lithium Ion batteries.Most of the newer electronics, like laptops, handheld radio, etc., has Lithium ion batteriesdue to their energy to weight ratio, and no memory effect. They also have a low self-dischargerate and are lighter than other types. Their service life depends on the time of manufacture,regardless of number of charge/discharge cycles. The internal resistance is higher than mostof the other chemistries.

Ni-Cad Battery Deep Dive 00:00 Opening Theme   01:02 Introduction Greetings to the hams working the California forest fires. 03:10 Feedback Tim, KI6BGE, writes about his first radio, a Yaesu FT-747GX, and his first hand-held, an FT-60R, and other rigs. He also asks about cross-band repeating through the FT-8900R in his car. Damon, NN7B, says Richard is his ham hero, and also listens to the Linux in the Ham Shack podcast. He was having a problem downloading the first episode, but that should be sorted out now. Joe, NE2Z, enjoys both podcasts, and made a donation. Thanks, Joe! Bob, KB3OQY, likes the podcast and learns something new in each episode. He also made a donation. 10:43 Donations Thanks to Joe NE2Z and Bob KB3OQY for their donations. If you find anything useful in an episode of Resonant Frequency, consider donating a dollar. That's less than a gallon of gasoline. 13:00 Song "Voodoo Queen" by Tommy Dardar, from the album "Blues Fool" 13:55 Buzzword Memory effect - reality or myth? If you partially discharge a nickel-cadmium battery (NiCad), and recharge it, it may "remember" that point of discharge as it's fully discharged state. The best practice is to fully discharge a NiCad battery pack before recharging, and avoid the use of rapid chargers. A related phenomenon is "lazy battery", where the battery appears to have a full charge, but becomes depleted rapidly when put to use. This is often caused by frequent overcharging, and may be cured by several deep discharge/recharge cycles. 20:29 Song "Wasn't That Enough" by Janiva Magness, from the album "Bury Him At The Crossroads" 22:01 Topic Nicad batteries. This topic was suggested by several messages on the forums. The abbreviation NiCad is a registered trademark of SAFT Corporation. Advantages: lower weight, good charging efficiency, smaller variations in terminal voltage during discharge, low internal resistance, non-critical charging condition. In theory, a nicad battery may be charged and discharged up to 1000 times. 39:06   Comparison to Nickel-metal Hydride (NiMH) 40:42 Disadvantages: higher cost, toxicity, memory effect, and a negative temperature coefficient. Nicad cells are typically 1.2V, while alkaline cells are 1.5V. 45:11 Charging. The typical overnight charge, called a C/10 charge, is accomplished by applying 10% of the battery's total capacity for a period of 14 hours; that is, a 100 mAh battery takes 140 mAh of energy to charge. 53:53 Dendritic shorting. 56:07 Song "Welfare Blues" by Kirk Fletcher, from the album "Shades of Blue" 58:25 Conclusion ail Richard at kb5jbv@gmail.com itter.com/kb5jbv KB5JBV on D-Star via port C on the NE5R repeater. theme music is "Give It All Away", by midliFeCrisis, from the album "Live from the Loft" Closing theme music is "We Gotta Go" by David Henderson at Podsafe Audio.

Episode 27 Watt Elmer? Show Notes Song: 00:00 Intro: 00:54 Feedback: 01:23 Regarding episode 25 Thomas, WC5B, says he has changed his mind about what he recommends to new hams for a first radio, based on Richards comments. Ray, KO4RB, also talks about episode 25 and his thoughts on a handy-talk as a first radio. Jerry, KD0BIK, of The Practical Amateur Radio Podcast disagreed with some of Richard's comments about media coverage of hurricane damage (Ike and Gustav) along the gulf coast. Richard's comments were meant to be specific to his local media. Ray, KO4RB, also writes to thank Richard for the podcast, and extols their virtues as a tool for elmering new hams. He's also exploring Linux for use in his shack, experiments with digital modes, DStar, and more. He also made a donation! Rich, AB6TY, says he listens as he works in the welding shop, and enjoys the information and music. He loves CW and encourages others to give it a try, and recommends FISTS and SKCC. He reminds Richard that new hams should be aware of split-frequency operations while chasing DX. He asks "What is a 'lid'?" A lid is a bad operator. www.fists.orgwww.skccgroup.com Donations: 17:25 Rich AB6TY, Ray KO4RB made donations, which allowed the purchase of a microphone, and a new machine to record the podcast. Consider a dollar per episode. Every dollar helps. Remember, we have to pay for the hosting service. shop at Amazon through the link at the website. Thanks! 19:55 Russ K5TUX and Richard released the first episode of Linux in the Ham Shack. Give it a listen Song: 22:07 "Night Time is the Right Time" by Elvin Bishop, featuring John Nemeth & Angela Strehli, from the album "The Blues Rolls On" Buzzword: 23:19 SWR and Watt MetersMeasures power out in watts and the SWR (standing wave ratio). Higher SWR is bad, as most modern radios will reduce their output if the SWR is too high, so it's a good idea to monitor the SWR. They can also be used to tune your wire or mobile antennas. Song: 31:58 "What Is That You Got" by Magic Slim & the Teardrops from the album "Midnight Blues" Topic: 34:17 How can you be a better Elmer? Elmer is the amateur radio term for a mentor. Anyone can be an Elmer. It just takes the desire to share what you know with someone else. It does take patience. Talk up the hobby with other folks. Teach a class. Get involved with one of the scouting organizations. Wear a shirt that proclaims your interest in the hobby. Be available at a special event station to answer questions. Song: 57:17 "Sleep" by Albert Cummings from the album "Feel So Good: Albert Cummings" Closing theme:65:04
