My VNA has died.  It experienced a major problem and is not recoverable o (not under warranty either).
Does anyone have an antenna analyzer or VNA for sale?

Subject: [OFARC] Radio go box for sale
Message-ID: <CAF52TM+Lag3DkY9EuZD+0RxaMy__8Jko_pbkN0CUzHWJJ-nLdA@mail.gmail.com>

I put together a top shelf radio go box several years ago with intentions
of traveling and emergency ops.

Includes:
Yaesu 857d
ATAS antenna, never used and still in original box.
LDG YT-100 antenna tuner
Jetstream 30 amp max, 25 amp continuous power supply. Anderson power poles.
Signalink USB integrated sound card with proper connection for 857
External speaker
Everything (except ATAS) nicely installed in very rugged Gator case - not
some cheap knockoff.

Have original boxes and manuals for radio. Instructions for other
components too.

I don't think you will find a cleaner, all inclusive go box on the market.
The radio even has the original protective plastic on the screen!

I like quality products and never abuse my equipment.  All components were
purchased new by me. Non smoking environment. Never used in a car. No known
issues. I have over $2200 invested. Selling for $1300 firm. Serious
inquiries only. Can bring to your QTH in Houston or club meeting for
inspection. Will send photos if you send me your email or cell.

I am now running Linux and need a logging program that will do contests (I want to do Field Day this year).
N1MM does not seem to have a Linux version.
CQLog runs on Linux but does not really support contests.

Any suggestions???

Thanks,
Ralph KE5HDF

Hi Ralph,
 
There are a couple more (at least!) logging programs for Linux. I haven't used either of these - 
- CQRLOG 
- Not1MM  which is sort of a N1MM clone and looks pretty good to me. I like the installation instructions. It's officially a beta release, but the whole program is the work of just one guy. It may be a beta release forever.
 
There are also some brave souls who install WINE, the linux WINdows Emulator, to be able to install N1MM and run it in the emulated Windows environment. Good luck to them. :-)
 
Best,
Mike WW5S

Subject: [OFARC] FD LINUX logging software

My situation ....
I had to rebuild my OS from scratch and loaded Linux UBUNTU 24.xx

I appreciate everyone's suggestions for a logging program that runs in LINUX.
Searched for LINUX logger using DUCK DUCK GO
Some that came up are simple lists,  some are no longer supported, need to compile from source code, etc.
Well, my search is over.
Below are the ones that were worth really checking out, and the results.

N1MM does not run in LINUX
DXKEEPER is Windows only
NOT1MM requires support packages that do not run in the newest version of UBUNTU LINUX
CQR LOG does not run in LINUX versions past 22.xx


QLOG runs just fine but is a little awkward in handling any "contest".
However, I can make it work since FD accepts a DUPE sheet and does not require cabrillo logs.  I can export my log to a CSV file and sort it using EXCEL for all my counting, modes, and dupe checks.
It also connects to WSJT-x to automatically log contacts

HAM2K runs on an android phone and may be a workable alternative

AGAIN, THANKS FOR ALL THE SUGGESTIONS!!

I am now going through the same thing to find a suitable SSTV package.
Several options, but most will not run in UBUNTU 24.xx or are no longer supported.

73 !
