Any Amateur Radio Operators (AKA "Hams") Here on The HughesNet Community Forums?
I was a Ham when I was 12. Had a Technician Class license, WA6ZHL. Fell out of it when I got into high school. Wish I had stayed in. Now, I'm studying to take the tests to get my license renewed. Bu...
Nice to meet you, fellas! I'd kinda forgotten I had started this topic, and it's nice to hear there are other Hams in this group.
Update - On Dec 2, I took and passed all three exams in one sitting, earning myself an Extra ticket. Just got my call sign issued last week, AJ6AR. Just might keep that one since AR is the first two initials in my name (also stands for "Amateur Radio" :)
The "F Cee Cee" no longer issues paper licenses but my wife is getting my CSCE framed:
Also, you might be interested in the article I found that ran in our home town paper when I first earned my Novice license in 1962:
Today, we're heading to Oakland in the SF Bay Area on a Christmas shopping trip to a Ham Radio Outlet warehouse. Wife said I can spend $2,000 to get my rig and antennas set up. Looking to get an ICOM 7300 as the centerpiece.
I'm not familiar with using long-wire antennas or baluns for them, but I've read some good things about using long-wire antennas.
My limited understanding of long-wires is that you can use virtually any length of wire and it can be made resonant at many different frequencies. Some hams and SWL'ers like using those for working 160 meters or lower frequencies because they don't have to string up hundreds of feet of wire just to match a limited frequency range within one band.
One thing bad about them I've read is that you can't bring that wire anywhere near your radio because it will radiate along it's entire length and you could get a nasty burn. That's where the balun and a coax feeder come in.
If you have an Apple iPhone. There is a called "My First Antenna". It calculates leg length and total length of the Dipole antenna. Works for 10m SSB, 20m PSK, 20m SSB, 40m PSK, 40m SSB, 80m PSK, 80m SSB. Another program called "HamAntCal v3.1" also calculates wire lengths. On VHF 30 to 300 Mhz. and UHF 300 to 500Mhz. Another program "Antenna Tool" go antenna type drop down menu. Punch in your antenna type and it automatically calculates length.
Thanks for that. I'll check those out! Wanted to buy ready-made antennas first, then work on constructing my own. I may put up a broad loop around the property since I have the room and the trees to do it. But it may need to wait until my next cash infusion. I'd sort of forgotten how expensive this hobby can be. Literally, the sky's the limit :)

I was a Ham when I was 12. Had a Technician Class license, WA6ZHL. Fell out of it when I got into high school. Wish I had stayed in.
Now, I'm studying to take the tests to get my license renewed. But this time I'm going all the way for the top Extra Class, something I could only dream about when I was a kid.
Great site I found, http://www.hamstudy.org. I've gone through the Technician and General Class questions and was happy about what I still remembered after all these years. Now working on the Extra Class questions. Once I get to about 85% pass on those, I'll go in to take all three exams at once.
Have to say I'm glad they eliminated morse code as a license or even an exam requirement (when did that happen?). I hated learning code, and could barely get to 5 WPM to pass the Novice and Technician Class exams. 13 WPM for General and 20 WPM for Advanced were simply way too far out of my reach at that time. I'm sure some old-timers would say the standards have all gone downhill from the \"good old days,\" but I'm glad I won't have to learn and pass an exam on a technology I'll never use.
Anyway, would like to hear from any fellow Hams on this forum? Let's QSO :)

Nice to meet you, fellas! I'd kinda forgotten I had started this topic, and it's nice to hear there are other Hams in this group.
Update - On Dec 2, I took and passed all three exams in one sitting, earning myself an Extra ticket. Just got my call sign issued last week, AJ6AR. Just might keep that one since AR is the first two initials in my name (also stands for \"Amateur Radio\" :)
The \"F Cee Cee\" no longer issues paper licenses but my wife is getting my CSCE framed:
Also, you might be interested in the article I found that ran in our home town paper when I first earned my Novice license in 1962:
Today, we're heading to Oakland in the SF Bay Area on a Christmas shopping trip to a Ham Radio Outlet warehouse. Wife said I can spend $2,000 to get my rig and antennas set up. Looking to get an ICOM 7300 as the centerpiece.

I'm not familiar with using long-wire antennas or baluns for them, but I've read some good things about using long-wire antennas.
My limited understanding of long-wires is that you can use virtually any length of wire and it can be made resonant at many different frequencies. Some hams and SWL'ers like using those for working 160 meters or lower frequencies because they don't have to string up hundreds of feet of wire just to match a limited frequency range within one band.
One thing bad about them I've read is that you can't bring that wire anywhere near your radio because it will radiate along it's entire length and you could get a nasty burn. That's where the balun and a coax feeder come in.

If you have an Apple iPhone. There is a called \"My First Antenna\". It calculates leg length and total length of the Dipole antenna. Works for 10m SSB, 20m PSK, 20m SSB, 40m PSK, 40m SSB, 80m PSK, 80m SSB. Another program called \"HamAntCal v3.1\" also calculates wire lengths. On VHF 30 to 300 Mhz. and UHF 300 to 500Mhz. Another program \"Antenna Tool\" go antenna type drop down menu. Punch in your antenna type and it automatically calculates length.

Thanks for that. I'll check those out! Wanted to buy ready-made antennas first, then work on constructing my own. I may put up a broad loop around the property since I have the room and the trees to do it. But it may need to wait until my next cash infusion. I'd sort of forgotten how expensive this hobby can be. Literally, the sky's the limit :)
