[K6BW] feb23 meeting

[Bill Smith]

Hi Ken,

Enjoy the warm days in Hawaii!  Sounds like you are setting up a very good
operating station, look forward to talking to you about it when you return.

Really sorry that I can't make the meeting on the 23 we will be in Kauai.
But I did want to thank the group that gave me good advice on the new radios
for the Blackpoint station.  I went ahead and purchased two separate radios
as was suggested. One a Kenwood all band HF that covers from 10 up to 160,
and a separate ICon UHF/VHF radio that goes from 6 meters down to 23CM.  I
made only one test at 1.2GZ and it seems that with the 8 degree parabolic it
puts a signal out around a hundred miles at one watt.  When I get back I am
going to see what kind of activity there is at the higher freq.  The
interesting thing about the high freqs. is that i can use my 20 watt solar
panel and run the radio off the sun. I also put in a high powered Wi-Fi unit
and antenna that covers about 1/2 mile, so I encripted it for the time
being.
I will be at the following meeting and hope to pick up some more advice on
another radio I purchased that seems to cover other frequencies that are
outside of the ham bands.  It can still be used as a general receiver.
