Subject: [HCARC] W0JT estate VHF/UHF radio equipment for sale
Message-ID: <000201d5f02b$ad435a30$07ca0e90$@earthlink.net>

I'm dissembling and disposing of W0JT, John's equipment. So far, the tower
mounted equipment is all taken down and I've got a good start on the ham
shack.

The US Tower crank-up, tilt-over tower will take some effort to move. This
is going to be a good deal for someone! More on this later.

 

Here's the first batch of equipment:

- Yaesu FT-847 ?satellite? transceiver (with updated, bi-directional serial
port) HF-70cm, all-mode

- Flex-Radio 1500 transceiver HF-6 meters, all-mode

- Diamond SX-1000 Power & SWR meter (both low bands and high bands)

- Astron RS-20M power supply

- 2-meter rfconcepts amplifier rfc-117 (needs testing)

- 70cm Mirage amplifier D3010N (needs testing)

- Heil Goldline GM-4 microphone, base and Yaesu cable

- Bencher lambic keyer

- Dual, Stacked M2 2M12 yagi antennas with PD and phasing lines (one
assembled and tuned, one in-the-box)

- Dual, Stacked M2 222-5WL yagi antennas with PD and phasing lines (one
assembled and tuned, one in-the-box)

- Dual, Stacked M2 432-9WL yagi antennas with PD and phasing lines (one
assembled and tuned, one in-the-box)

- Single, Directive Systems Looper antenna for 1269MHz (AO40 satellite)
2455LYK (new, in the box)

- Single, Directive Systems Looper antenna for 2304 MHz 1376LYK (new, in the
box)

- Single, Directive Systems Looper antenna for 2304 MHz 9112LYK (new, in the
box)

- Coax and rotor cable! What do you need?

 

This is just the first batch of equipment. There are many other amplifiers,
antennas, rotors, etc. etc. that I haven't had a chance to dig into yet (and
then the tower). Stay tuned!

 

As you can imagine, I'd rather sell these items locally without the hassle
of UPS and PayPal. 

If there isn't any response I'll go ahead and post these on QRZ, QTH and the
Austin for-sale list.

 

The assembled antennas have only been mounted on the tower for 1 ? year and
are in excellent shape. 

Please e-mail direct to jim.k0mhc at earthlink.net
<mailto:jim.k0mhc at earthlink.net>  for pictures and/or questions you may
have.

 

Everything is guaranteed to be complete (all parts) and in working condition
(not including antenna kits). 

Prices are competitive. Check out QRZ.

? ? Henry Radio Los Angeles Founder Ted Henry, W6UOU, is 100

03/02/2020

Henry Radio Los Angeles founder Ted Henry, W6UOU, turned 100 years old 
on January 25. The fascinating Henry family history in amateur radio 
marketing and manufacturing dates back to the late 1920s.

The original Henry Radio shop, started by Ted?s brother Bob Henry, 
W0ARA, opened in 1927 in their hometown of Butler, Missouri, selling 
equipment and parts for the then-new ham radio hobby. The store stayed 
in business until Bob Henry died in 1985. Henry Radio Stores 
advertisements in ham radio magazines were a familiar sight in the 
post-war years.

Ted and another brother, Walt, later W6ZN, worked with Bob Henry during 
the early years and became fascinated with ham radio. After Ted moved to 
Los Angeles in 1941, he opened a small radio shop on Westwood Boulevard, 
which he operated while attending college at UCLA with the intention of 
going into teaching. His shop survived the suspension of amateur radio 
during World War II by purchasing gear from hams and reselling it to 
MARS stations around the world, and by manufacturing crystals (in Butler 
and Los Angeles) for Hallicrafters? war production.

Ted and his wife Meredith, W6WNE, ran the LA store, which grew quickly 
after the war, expanding to a new location on West Olympic Boulevard, 
where it operated for nearly 35 years, becoming a gathering spot for 
hams visiting from around the world.

Walt Henry opened a Henry Radio branch in Anaheim, California, in the 
1960s, which closed in 1990, after his health declined.

In 1962, Ted Henry saw the opportunity to supply tube-type power 
amplifiers for the ham radio market and began manufacturing the original 
Henry 2K. The plant was so successful that Henry expanded into the 
industrial RF equipment sector. In the 1970s, the company developed its 
own line of solid-state amplifiers, which it still manufactures for 
various services.?From 1962 until 2005, Henry Radio built approximately 
40,000 assorted amplifiers and industrial power generators before 
closing down the factory in 2005.

Henry Radio also became the first Kenwood dealer in the US and marketed 
the Tempo line of ham gear. The store opened its current facility in 
1981 on South Bundy Drive in Los Angeles. Henry Radio is the oldest 
dealer for the Bird line of RF test equipment, imports Tohtsu coaxial 
relays from Japan, and manages a trunked radio system, in addition to 
marketing radio accessories and specialized RF parts and equipment.

Ted and Meredith?s son, also Ted, W6YEY, took over day-to-day operation 
of the business in 1971. The elder Henry retired from the business in 
2005. Many of the popular line of HF amplifiers remain in use today./?

? ? International Group to Reactivate the Legendary Yasme VP2VB Call Sign

03/10/2020

On Tuesday, March 10, an international group now in New York will set 
sail to the British Virgin Islands and activate the VP2VB call sign of 
/Yasme/ fame for 6 days, focusing on the low bands with two stations. 
VP2VB was the call sign of the legendary Danny Weil, VP2VB, skipper of 
the /Yasme/ series of sailing vessels that carried the peripatetic 
adventurer traveled from one DX location to another in the 1950s and 
early 1960s. His activities provided the impetus to create *The Yasme 
Foundation* <http://www.yasme.org/>. For the 2020 ?Yasme Memorial 
Expedition,? operators will include Adrian Ciuperca, KO8SCA; Martti 
Laine, OH2BH; Niko Halminen, OH2GEK, and Sandro Nitoi, VE7NY. QSL via OH2BH.

A Briton, Weil was, by trade, a watch and clock maker with a sense of 
adventure. His initial /Yasme/ (often also rendered as YASME) sailing 
voyage was to the British Virgin Islands. Yasme derives from the 
Japanese word ?yasume,? which means ?to make tranquil.? Another giant of 
ham radio history, the legendary DXer Dick Spencely, KV4AA, became aware 
of Weil?s aspirations and suggested that he combine amateur radio with 
his ambitious travel itinerary. Spencely taught Weil Morse code and 
helped him secure the VP2VB call sign, which was to become famous around 
the globe. Spencely secured the initial ham radio gear for the /Yasme/ 
and became a tireless fundraiser for The Yasme Foundation as well.

Ultimately, there were three /Yasmes/. From 1955 until 1962, Weil 
operated from several ports of call in the Caribbean and the Pacific. 
This latter-day VP2VB DXpedition will count toward *Yasme awards* 
<http://www.yasme.org/operating-awards/> and marks the first activation 
of VP2VB in more than 60 years.

This month?s VP2VB DXpedition will trace Weil?s original route in the 
British Virgin Islands under a special license authorization, to pay 
homage to those early years of DXing and to honor the spirit he 
embraced, which inspired a generation of DXers.

Weil?s last expedition in the Pacific included stops at HC8 and FO8 
(Clipperton Island), the latter an especially harrowing and 
life-threatening experience. His new wife, Naomi, was with him at the 
time. The Mexican Navy rescued them and towed the /Yasme/ to California. 
Weil went solo to several more stops in the Pacific before retiring from 
DXpeditioning and settling in Texas in 1963. He resumed his profession 
of a watch and clock maker there and became a US citizen. He was not to 
be heard on the air again ? although he kept an ear on the bands. Weil 
died in 2003 at age 85.

The DXpeditions of Weil and of Lloyd and Iris Colvin, W6KG and W6QL, are 
documented in */YASME, The Danny Weil and Colvin Radio Expeditions/* 
<http://www.arrl.org/shop/YASME-The-Danny-Weil-and-Colvin-Radio-Expeditions/> 
by Jim Cain, K1TN, commissioned by The Yasme Foundation and published by 
ARRL.

The Hamvention Executive Committee has been monitoring the COVID19
pandemic. We have worked very closely with our local and state health
Departments.

It is with a very heavy heart the Hamvention Executive Committee has
decided to cancel Hamvention for this year.

This decision is extremely difficult for us but with around two months
until the Great Gathering we felt this action necessary.

More specific details regarding the closure will soon be posted on our
website www.hamvention.org.

TAMPA, Fla. ? American Honda is recalling about 340,000 portable 
generators because the generator's inverter assembly can short circuit 
and catch on fire.

Honda has received at least 10 reports of fires, but no injuries have 
been reported. The generators were sold at Home Depot and other home 
improvement stores nationwide from February 2018 through January 2020 
for between $1,100 to $1,300.

The generators were previously recalled in 2019 for similar reasons.

Dear all,

Today, I have allocated 100% of Club Log's computing resources to 
scientific research into COVID-19 proteins, as part of the Folding at Home 
project.

Club Log is contributing 120 CPU cores (most running at 3.4GHz) to this 
project. I have taken the decision to give this work higher priority 
than Club Log's usual amateur radio functions, so you may see uploads 
take slightly longer. I do not think most users will notice the 
additional wait, but I've added a warning to the upload form inside Club 
Log to explain. I am also looking at dedicating many more computers 
through my primary business (Third Light).

You can read more about this distributed computing project at 
https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/15/coronavirus-what-were-doing-and-how-you-can-help-in-simple-terms/.

You can help, too, by contributing your own computer to the project. If 
you have a recent home computer with a good graphics card, and if a lot 
of people make a contribution, it will make a significant difference to 
the research, potentially reducing decades of work to a far shorter time 
frame that will make a practical difference this year. Before you rush 
in, bear in mind that you may incur extra energy costs and produce more 
heat as your computer will be continually operating at 100% CPU when you 
are not using it (this is ok on server equipment but make sure you know 
what you're doing if you are using a normal home computer).

To read more, start by opening https://foldingathome.org and follow the 
instructions to download the client for Windows or Mac if you wish.

Club Log has a Folding at Home team, number 246763.

Finally, I must let you know that I am stretched quite thinly at work as 
everything is up in the air. I know others will be experiencing this 
too. At the moment, I cannot spare much time for the Club Log helpdesk 
other than at the weekends. Sorry if there is any additional delay 
replying, but don't worry, Dick W4PID has joined our helpdesk and is 
already doing a wonderful job taking on your questions. Please also send 
your support to Marios, 5B4WN, who I am sure will be part of front-line 
medical efforts to save lives in the coming weeks.

To friends of Club Log everywhere, may I take this chance to send you my 
best wishes. Thanks for making it possible for Club Log to contribute to 
the Folding at Home project. I also hope you will find amateur radio can 
fill your days with something familiar and enjoyable! Stay well.

? The Radio Network that Allowed Communication with Submarines

Communicating with covert fleets during WWII required some special 
equipment.

What do you do when you need to communicate with a crew of *50 sailors* 
submerged in a submarine in an undisclosed location across the world's 
oceans? That was a difficult question to answer for Navy leaders in WWII.

Radio waves don't easily travel through saltwater, which meant that 
getting active communication with a submarine crew meant making the 
submarine surface an antenna. This was the obvious solution, but it made 
a previously covert submarine now a visible target.


? ? The solution to the problem

Engineers tasked with finding a more covert solution soon discovered 
that radio waves with low frequencies, around *10 kHz*, could penetrate 
saltwater to depths up to around *20 meters*. They realized that if the 
transponders on submarines were switched to these frequency ranges, then 
they communicate with leadership 
<https://www.nonstopsystems.com/radio/hellschreiber-mil-tx-rx.htm> on land.

The problem with this idea was that creating and broadcasting these 
low-frequency radio waves required massive antennas. Essentially, the 
lower the frequency of a radio wave, the longer and larger the antenna 
is required to be.

*RELATED: WHEN THE INTERNET AND CELL PHONE NETWORKS GO DOWN, AMATEUR 
RADIO NETWORK OPERATORS STEP UP 
<https://interestingengineering.com/when-the-internet-and-cell-phone-networks-go-down-amateur-radio-operators-step-up>*

Engineers honed in on a range of frequencies lower than *30 kHz* for 
submarine communication. The wavelength of these frequencies were 
roughly *10 kilometers* or more, meaning that engineers would need 
massive antennas. The only way to produce these frequencies with such a 
high range was to use a massive system of antennas with massive amounts 
of power.

Nazi engineers seeking to communicate with their fleet of U-boats 
designed the Goliath antenna network in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. After 
construction, it was operated during World War II and had a transmission 
power of up to *1,000 kilowatts*. For comparison, that's equivalent to 
the power draw of *500 average* American households.


? ? The Goliath Radio Transmitter

The Goliath network would regularly transmit frequencies between *15 
kHz* and *25 kHz*. It was powerful enough to reach any German submarine 
located anywhere in the world submerged up *20 meters*. The only time 
communication was hindered was when German U-boats were navigating deep 
Norwegian fjords.

The Goliath antenna used three different umbrella antennas. These were 
essentially massive antenna towers that were then draped with kilometers 
of guy wires radiating from the mast. These helped not support the 
antenna tower, but also formed part of the antenna itself.

The Radio Network that Allowed Communication with Submarines 
/Source:???????? ??????? 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_transmitter#/media/File:Royka_and_Goliath.jpg>/ 


In total, the system used three *210 meter* or *688-foot* masts arranged 
in a triangle. The system also had cables buried around it with a total 
length of *350 kilometers*. Once it was completed, it had an impressive 
efficiency of *50%* at *15 kHz* and *90%* at *60 kHz*.

*RELATED: YOU COULD DOWNLOAD VIDEO GAMES FROM THE RADIO IN DURING THE 
1980S 
<https://interestingengineering.com/you-could-download-video-games-from-the-radio-in-the-1980s>*

This massive antenna site was undoubtedly a key strategic tool used by 
the German Navy in communicating with their U-Boat fleet.

After the war ended, the Soviets came in and dismantled the Goliath and 
shipped it to Russia. It was then erected near Moscow. Today, one of the 
original towers is still in operation communicating low-frequency 
signals with submarines and broadcasting time signals.


? ? A deeper dive into how low-frequency networks function

Low-frequency radio frequencies are anywhere in the range of *30 to 300 
kHz* and their wavelengths range from *1 to 10 kilometers*.

Because their wavelengths are so long, they are the perfect tool for 
long-range communication networks. Low-frequency radio waves, or LF 
radio, is used for AM radio stations across the world, allowing them to 
broadcast the same message from a centralized location many hundreds of 
miles.

One of the other massive benefits of LF radio signals is the fact that 
their long wavelength allows them to diffract over very large physical 
obstacles, like mountains, or even the earth. LF waves can follow the 
curvature of the earth with ease utilizing ground wave propagation. Low 
frequency waves sent through ground propagation can be clearly received 
over *1,200 miles* from the original source.

Another way that LF radio waves can be transmitted ultra-long distances 
is by intentionally reflecting the waves off of the earth's ionosphere. 
This is called skip propagation or skywave, and it allows frequencies to 
be transmitted distances over *190 miles* from the original source. Not 
as far as ground wave propagation, but still an impressive distance.

The other benefit of low-frequency waves, underscored by the Goliath 
transmitter's use, is the fact that low kHz low-frequency waves, under 
*50 kHz*, can penetrate ocean depths of roughly *200 meters*. As the 
wavelength gets longer, the penetration depth gets deeper.

Most of the world's superpowers still use some form of this LF 
transmission to communicate with submarines and underwater vessels 
today. The Royal Navy nuclear submarines stationed around the United 
Kingdom listen to a *198 kHz* frequency for orders to launch their 
ballistic missiles.

The U.S. built out something called the Ground Wave Emergency Network, 
named GWEN. It ran between the ranges of *150* and *175 kHz* up until 
1999 when satellites far outperformed the LF network's usefulness.
