Subject: [W8MWA] Cable Connector Adapter Losses
Message-ID: <28f127db-64a1-9a0b-187f-d06467b679d4@comcast.net>

There have been many discussions and opinions on signal loss when adding 
adapters or connectors in between coaxial cables. I did a test on a new 
piece of cable and decided to experiment a little. Attached is a PDF of 
the setup and results.

Limited to 20 people, but will be of interest to anyone who wants to have a yagi made from common materials on a budget.

Following week is our fox hunt at White Park on Saturday, April 29 at 10 am.  Meeting place is pavilion in the corner of the park back of the ball fields next to South Middle School.  There is parking in front of the pavilion.  We will go over how to search and have several transmitters out.

Dear ARRL Affiliated Club,

This Monday, May 1, ARRL will launch a survey for members, encouraging
their participation as we consider a dues increase.

The survey will include some short questions about raising dues and
modifying the way some membership benefits are bundled. The survey will
also include an opportunity for members to share their feedback.

* The participation of every member is important. *Please encourage all the
ARRL members in your radio club to complete the survey in May.

* The survey will open on May 1 at* *www.arrl.org/take-dues-survey*
<http://www.arrl.org/take-dues-survey>. This is a member-only page. Members
need to be logged into the ARRL website to take the survey. Members who are
not logged in may select the Login button on the top of the web page, and
they will be prompted to enter their ARRL website username and password. If
they have not logged in since April 2022, they should use these *Login

Thank you in advance for urging all ARRL members to complete the survey.
