Absolutely!!!  There’s a reason the 1/2 wave dipole is the basic building

block of most antenna constructs.  Compared fairly, the dipole will beat

or match any single element antenna.  Not just my opinion.  Visit Tom Rauch’s website,  www.w8ji.com.

Thanks Mike.  I hope all club members respond to this urgent action.

Thanks for leading on this Brian.  Likely, my contributed questions will overlap with input from others. I would enjoy Tom’s thoughts on these issues.

1. Many ham radio enthusiasts (young and old) are getting their general technical news and training material from multimedia platforms and are integrating these platforms and tools into their ham shack.

Do you envision the ARRL enhancing their use of multimedia resources and product offerings to reach out to members and the general community at large? If so, how will these actions balance with the great print media resources that ARRL has now?

2. The ARRL has an active program of scholarships and financial grants to foster and support technical education and the role of ham radio in community service.

Please share your thoughts on the direction and emphasis this area will have in your tenure. Also, how can local radio clubs use these resources to promote amateur radio and related technology in community schools, scouting organizations, Boys/Girls Clubs, etc. ?

Thanks Mike.  Everything looks good to me in MS Word 2011 MAC version.

There are many PC logger programs (freeware to $$$) which can do this task.  For mobile HF, I just started using Aether for Mac, since I only take Apple devices on the road. Aether supports most contest formats including uploading cabrillo files.  At QTH, I can upload ADIF files to my HRD software, if I choose.  Aether is easy and has many features; alas, it does not have super check partial support.

Hi Murray:

I echo Fred’s comments.  Besides Fred’s blog, I really recommend reading http://www.K0BG.com, it’s “The book” on mobile HF.  I’ll be happy to show you my mobile HF install and talk antennas, etc.
