Weekly Links

Again, I’ve been somewhat off schedule with this post, but here’s some links from the past couple of

Amateur Radio Still Going Strong according to Louis E. Frenzel of Wireless Systems Design Magazine.

K1VR, Fred Hopengarten, maintains a nice site about antenna zoning. If you ever need a zoning permit for a tower, this site may come in handy.

K5LAD has a good site about maintaining a HyGain Tailtwister rotor.

The K7NV Notebook on towers has some great resources.

N1LO has a neat “notebook” about tower construction (and some other topics as well).

Weekly Links

Here’s the next installment of links gleaned from the ham radio reflectors I frequent.  It’s a little late this week – I usually try to publish on Sunday evenings – but didn’t get to it this week.  Look for another installment next week.

K3LR has the slides from the 2008 Contesting and Antenna Forums posted on his website. He also has the files for 2004-2007

AB7E has a great website about his tower and antenna construction project, and he’s got a section on homebrew cadwelding molds he made for attaching ground wires to ground rods.

W0QE has made an independent comparison of the AIM4170 and the HP8753 up to 170 MHz.

Tom, K8CX has finished loading the 2008 photos that he took at Dayton. This is the 12th year in a row that Tom has posted Dayton photos on his excellent web site.
