Its not ham radio related but Ive been in town a little more than a year and I cannot find a good referral for a dentist around the sugar land / Missouri city area. I don't want a chain.. and I need someone who handles dental anxiety... someone who isn't going to upsell me.... Just a good general cleaning twice a year. I want to know if anyone has a dentist that you love.

I don't want to go to my insurance website and throw a dart at the wall.

If the topic needs to be ham radio related, then also tell me what model radio you talk on when you are traveling to the dentist that you love.

And to keep from spamming up the reflector, please respond to me directly at ctmedlin at outlook.com

73 and thanks!

Chris/AC5CM

I don?t know about dental anxiety but I use Dr. Robert Markoff and I really
like him.

 ??? Regarding recent conversations on 5/8 wave vertical antennas:

https://vk2zoi.com/flower-pots/

 ??? Open this website with a browser and open one of the articles

on "Double 5/8 Flower Pot" verticals.?? This 5/8 wave vertical dipole

may be constructed using some RG-59 coax and a bit of soldering.

The antenna uses the coax itself to form 1/4 wave sleeve transformers

to convert the dipole's 100 ohm feed point to 50 ohms.? The coil of

RG-59 is used to choke off the sneak RF path on the outer portion of

the coax.? It takes a bit of thought to understand this system but it

actually works well.? The entire antenna should be covered using a

1" section of PVC as shown else the SWR will rise when it gets wet.

I have implemented the simpler 1/2 wave "Flower Pot" vertical using

RG-8X coax for my 2 mtr. base station antenna.? I currently use a? QRO

1/2 wave vertical dipole on 20 mtrs. using the same principle.

Hello BVARC,

The year is almost over, but BVARC still has a few more events left to
participate in for 2023. We have our December General Meeting where we will
be hearing from Mike Lambert KI5MIK about his transition from generator
to solar and battery backup power. We've also got our VE Testing, BoD
Meeting, our 12th and "best of the year" for Brews with BVARC, BVARC POTA
at another new park for the club, and of course we'll all be celebrating
the Holidays with our families and friends this December as well. It's
gonna be another fun and busy month for the club, so please come on out and
join us if you can.

A quick glance forward to next year: we have some big events coming up!
Every January the club celebrates with a *Banquet* and next year it will be
on *Thursday January 18th at 6pm*. You will need to RSVP and purchase a
meal ticket for the event, those details and more should be posted
shortly. *Winter
Field Day will be on January 28th and 29th. *BVARC will be hosting our own
WFD event at Duhacsek Park (17034 Old Richmond Rd, in Sugar Land), so
please mark your calendars for that event, and keep an eye out on the
website and reflector for more information (sign-up sheets, meal schedules,
etc.). Lastly, we have a massive undertaking ahead for the club, the *Greater
Houston Hamfest!* Planning for the event is well underway, please join the
planning meetings so you can help out with our biggest event of the year.
The GHHF will be held *March 1st and 2nd this year at The Fort Bend County
Fairgrounds*. Contact Mike Hardwick N5VCX for more info on the event and
volunteering.

Again, please check out our website BVARC.org <http://bvarc.org/> for
updates, and for information on our weekly in-person events, nets, and
other resources. The December Newsletter should be posted on the website
soon. Don't forget about our social media as well! We have a Facebook Page
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/bvarc/>, a Discord Server
<https://discord.gg/kwVGeXM7UH>, and YouTube channel
<https://www.youtube.com/bvarc> for the club. Add the BVARC Calendar to
your calendar app (by clicking the link here

This is our last destination of the year and our Brews with BVARC
?committee? voted this spot our top location for 2023. Our last time at
this brewery had one of the highest attendances and was an absolute blast
so we will be visiting them again to round out our tour around the Houston

*Where:*

*BVARC Pre-POTA Rag Chew Net*
*Saturday December 16th around 8pm*

One more reminder for this month that our monthly BVARC POTA event now has
a 40m HF net that precedes it the night before at 8pm. The frequency is not
set in stone and should be somewhere* near 7.265MHz*, so if you don't hear
them there, turn that VFO dial up or down a few kHz until you find them or
try finding them using the NetLogger program. I want to thank Sean N5LNK
for taking on the role of Net Control Station.


*BVARC POTA at Sheldon Lake State Park*
*Sunday December 17th, from 10am to 4pm*

Last month we made the leap to a try POTA at a National Wildlife refuge,
and it was incredible, with one of the highest attendances of the year. To
end the year, we are going to head to another POTA site that the club
hasn't been to yet: Sheldon Lake State Park! The site looks beautiful and
the weather should be nice and cool. So please join us to get on the air
and have some food and fun with the club. Bring out your own equipment,
operate radios brought by other members, or just come by and watch how POTA
works. It's a ton of fun and a great opportunity to share ham knowledge, we
hope to see you there.

*Where:*

Sheldon Lake State Park & Environmental Learning Center
14140 Garrett Rd.
Houston, TX 77044


<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

That's the rundown that I have for now. I will keep the updates coming
throughout the month, so stay tuned. Please reach out to me or any BVARC board
member if you have any questions or concerns about our club events,
volunteering, or anything else ham radio related. We're here for you!

Thanks for being a member. Thank you for your time. Have a Merry Christmas
and 73!

Concerning the QST December 5/8th WL Vertical.   I had requested from the
author more detailed information on the design aspect of the vertical.
 Henry  and the actual designer, Pekka, OH3WAV, have responded with a
plethora of design information answering all of my questions and
mis-understandingings.

I have compiled all of this information into 5 PDF files of about 5 Mb
total.

5 PDF's --The full article,  K4ERO Analysis,  Chokes for other bands and
some advantages, OH3WAV Design Info and OH3WAV Answers to my questions.

Some info is probably beyond the current understanding level of a few
members just starting out, but it is an excellent teaching moment for them
and for other more experienced members.  So...if you would like the 5 files
please send me a request note DIRECTLY to me.  NOT thru the reflector. and
I will send them your way.

I'd like to hear your comments as you work your way thru the design.   Keep
us all posted.

Message-ID: <CAJpZsDPFgwn5jMnsyb51MvGh4Qi2R6exxs9Crxq2tyb5RP8W7A@mail.gmail.com>

I have two ICOM 7300 radios that I use in MARS and SHARES.  The radios are
controlled via a single USB cable from the Windows 11 Pro computer.  The
problem is that the computer does not correctly identify the COM port.  One
radio USB port is  COM3 and the other radio is COM4.  I have two computers
that read them properly BUT a third desktop computer reads them wrong, that
is COM3 reads as COM4 and the opposite on connection to the second radio.
The radios are fine.  This is a computer problem.  The driver (Silicon Labs
CP210x USB to UART Bridge, their universal windows driver).

Please pass this along to one of our Windows 11 gurus.  I don't know what
to do to resolve this problem.

Colleagues,
Good afternoon.  Excellent work done by Rick W5RH on contacting the authors and getting info on their antenna.  

If you?re interested, this is a quick walk-through I made on antenna modeling using the program called MMANA GAL.  It?s similar to the EZNEC program and I believe it contains the same processing engine as EZNEC; however, you may find the GUI simpler.

MMANA GAL walk-through on simple antenna optimization:

Hope that you find it useful.

Stephen (W2WF)

>> I usually try to understand the antenna articles in QST.   Most are straight forward and have a reasonable explanation of how the antenna works.  The Dec 2023 QST has the "OH3JF 5/8 WL Vertical Dipole".   He tells you what to do to build it (sort of) but doesn't tell you what makes it all work.   I have looked at it every which way to no avail.  The numbers just don't match to a 5/8 wl antenna and I do not understand the reason, values and positions for the capacitor stub and the "matching stub".   Best guess he is shortening a longer antenna to 5/8th wl ...no....forget I said that....I just don't know.  I look at the added info he references and that gave no clue either.

I have a friend who owns a print shop.  I've been trying to get him into the QSL card business.  I've had him print 2 sets of mine and he does a VERY, VERY high quality card at a fair price.  If you know what you want I'm sure their design team can set you up with a great card.  If you want, DM me via email and I'll set you up with his contact information.

On a personal note, I feel that the card should say something about you, your station, your city, state, or something else you are passionate about.  Give it that WOW factor when the other station opens that envelope.  Also, I applaud you for keeping up that time old tradition of QSL card exchanges when so many have given up the practice. It goes WAY beyond the logbook and speaks volumes above the few minutes spent on the QSO.

My card has a flavor of Texas and the west on the front with a local picture on the back with some town history as I live in a historic town from the 1850's.

Ive been buying QSL cards for many years as I?m now in my 3rd US state since getting my license. I dont think theres such an animal as ?the best? qsl company. Some people print their own. Some go with any number of places.
My most recent one is designed on gigiparts. I think it was the Premium QSL cards. It gives you a blank slate and youc can design them exactly like you want, front and back.

You could definitely do some sort of graphic where the two QTH?s are on either half of the card and they kinda fade into each other in the middle.
Sounds like there may be plenty of people around who would be willing to help you out.

Subject: Re: [BVARC] Best source for QSL cards?

Ive been buying QSL cards for many years as I?m now in my 3rd US state since getting my license. I dont think theres such an animal as ?the best? qsl company. Some people print their own. Some go with any number of places.
My most recent one is designed on gigiparts. I think it was the Premium QSL cards. It gives you a blank slate and youc can design them exactly like you want, front and back.

You could definitely do some sort of graphic where the two QTH?s are on either half of the card and they kinda fade into each other in the middle.
Sounds like there may be plenty of people around who would be willing to help you out.

I have a friend who owns a print shop.  I?ve been trying to get him into the QSL card business.  I?ve had him print 2 sets of mine and he does a VERY, VERY high quality card at a fair price.  If you know what you want I?m sure their design team can set you up with a great card.  If you want, DM me via email and I?ll set you up with his contact information.



On a personal note, I feel that the card should say something about you, your station, your city, state, or something else you are passionate about.  Give it that WOW factor when the other station opens that envelope.  Also, I applaud you for keeping up that time old tradition of QSL card exchanges when so many have given up the practice. It goes WAY beyond the logbook and speaks volumes above the few minutes spent on the QSO.



My card has a flavor of Texas and the west on the front with a local picture on the back with some town history as I live in a historic town from the 1850?s.

For really good quality photo cards at a great price, you need to go 
with a foreign source. And NOT a western country. LZ1JZ and UX5UO 
come to mind.

I have been using UX5UO for at least 15 years. I've done 2 orders 
with him, and also WX0B (friend) has done 2 orders. Communication 
with Gennady is excellent. He is in Kiev.

Mike I used this company when i moved to Austin in 2019:
<https://gggraphicsstore.com/>
[QSL55-1200x764-1.jpg]
Homepage<https://gggraphicsstore.com/>
gggraphicsstore.com<https://gggraphicsstore.com/>

And they did me right. Great looking 2 sided cards. And i moved down here, I ordered (a month ago) a stack of the Premium cards from gigaparts.com and those turned out really nice too.

So theres a couple of good options for you to check out.

He was reasonably priced. I had a bunch made (and 4 months later changed my
call sign), and plan another order this month or next. Btw, he was
recommended by my Elmer, Dave McCombs, who had his cards made there.

Why doesn't someone write a Beacon article about Qsl cards.   How that landscape has changed??e-qsl Versus hard copy and where to get printed and on demand self printed etc.   lots of new hf users in the club would love to read such an article.    Even old farts like me would enjoy new info.  
Submit it to our new editor Donovan.  BDZ.

Thank you to all the members that helped me with last night's meeting.

The program was very interesting.

YEAH!!! I hope the practice comes back.  With the rising cost of postage and other materials, people seem to be stepping away from the paper QSL card.  I?m a firm believer in keeping it alive as you probably know from a previous email.  Not only does it add SO MUCH MORE to that QSO but it gives you something to show family, friends, and possible future hams to excite them into looking to getting their ticket as well.

Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2023 12:14:09 -0600
Subject: [BVARC] Announcement: Resignation from Future Position at BVARC BOD
Message-ID: <021a01da2f82$8015b090$804111b0$@k5bou.net>

All,

I hope you're doing well. I am writing to let you know about a significant
development in my personal life that I want to share with you.

After careful consideration and extensive discussions with my family, I
decided to step down from the upcoming "2 years at Large" position at the
BVARC BOD, a role I was elected to assume in the next two years. This
decision has been made with great thought and reflection, primarily prompted
by the necessity to prioritize family matters.

The main reason behind this choice is a family matter requiring immediate
attention and active involvement. Regrettably, my father-in-law passed away
on December 10th and owned a business; there is a significant need for
assistance during the transitional period. In light of this, my family and I
have decided that it is in our collective best interest to relocate and
dedicate my time and effort to fulfilling his wishes and supporting the
smooth transition of the business.

I hope you understand about this. I am grateful for the opportunity to have
been part of the BVARC community and genuinely appreciate the support and
camaraderie that has defined my time with the club. I am committed to
staying connected and involved in whatever capacity proves feasible.

I appreciate your understanding during this challenging time. I look forward
to maintaining our connection and staying in touch with the club.

Best regards

Philippe,
Sorry to see this. Best wishes and please -- If you need anything, do not
hesitate to ask. BVARC is more than a radio club, we are more brother and
sisters here, we are here to help in any way.

Richard
KG5YCU.

Subject: [BVARC] Reference Antenna Modeling Article -- QEX
Message-ID: <CABNEQE883oP3PRdcN7VoaF6GM=kH7yuDxOZy8wY+PUDMm735fg@mail.gmail.com>

If you receive the ARRL periodical publications, and you wish to learn more
about antenna modeling, you are in luck.  The latest on-line QEX edition
has yet another "Self Paced Essay" by Eric Nichols, KL7AJ.  QEX Jan/Feb
2024 has the 20th Self Paced Essay and its subject is about NEC (the
calculating engine of the popular antenna modeling programs (MMANA, EZNEC,
4nec2 etc.).  It starts at his beginning of NEC use and thru each month's
essay it will enlighten you on antenna modeling.  Hopefully to the point of
you understanding enough and taking off and soloing on a few models.

Nichols' "Self Paced Essay" series is all available on-line.  It starts in
the August/Sept 2020 QEX issue and covers a wide range of electrical and RF
engineering design topics.  Quite a few that can be linked directly to
antenna design.  Check them out in each bi-monthly QEX issue.

Eric Nichols is a prolific writer in our ham radio world.  He even appears
in the July 2020 BVARC Beacon with an article Organic Amateur Radio.  Check
it out......   *www.bvarc.org/newsletter/202007.pdf

Hey Rick, I?m from arkansas so sometimes you gotta type slower? so what youre saying is that reading this guys progression of articles will take you from zero to hero with the modeling software?
Thats great because ive always wanted to learn how to use and have never found (or never looked in the right place) a resource that takes the user from no knowledge to usable state.

Thanks!

Subject: [BVARC] POTA Sunday December 17th.
Message-ID: <CABaeMCMNK9WqUOFeBV34dtkizEc3Kc+d6Skuvf=JKP_GdKYFcw@mail.gmail.com>

Howdy BVARC,

I just wanted to drop a quick reminder about the club POTA event this*
Sunday Dec. 17th from 10am to 4pm at Sheldon Lake State Park*. Don't forget
there will also be a* pre-POTA net at 8pm Saturday Dec. 16th on 40m at or
near 7.265MHz* (spin that VFO dial around until you find them or check the
BVARC email reflector for live updates). Big shout out to Sean N5LNK for
being NCO for the net. We will of course be bringing out some sausages,
snacks, and drinks, you're welcome to bring your own as well. The weather
is looking cool and sunny so I anticipate a great day for radio.

[image: PXL_20231119_193930907.jpg]
[image: PXL_20231119_171437592.jpg]

*Some important details:*

   - The Park is *FREE* to access!
   - *We will have at least 4 HF radios *(40m, 20m, 15m, 10m, and
   possibly 17m or 80m) that you can use if you don't have your own. So all
   you need to bring is yourself, some water, and maybe some snacks.
   - If you'd like to bring your own radio, we have a few antennas you can
   use (or you can set up yours) and the appropriate filters. But again, you
   don't *need *to bring any equipment.
   - *Technician class licensees ARE WELCOME!* You *CAN *operate the
   stations on ALL HF bands that are available and get POTA credit for
   contacts you make. You will be required to use the club call sign (ask me
   or Anthony W5LIC for details upon arrival).
   - If you're a Tech class license holder and would like to operate on 10m
   you may do so under your own call sign if the station is open (the 10m
   band has been wide-open lately).
   - Of course, you do not have to operate the radios. You can just come
   out for a fun time with your fellow hams.
   - 10 contacts are all that are required to "activate" the park. You can
   log with paper, or with any apps you prefer (we recommend the HAMRS App
   <http://hamrs.app/>).
   - Sign up on the POTA.app <http://pota.app/> website to upload your logs
   after the event.



*Directions:*

Sheldon Lake State Park
14140 Garrett Rd.
Houston, TX 77044

*When:*
Sunday December 17th, 2023
10am-4pm
[image: PXL_20231119_183550891.jpg]

If you've been curious about trying CW, FT8, or Winlink (VARA HF, 2m Packet
etc.) we will have those as optional modes you can try (more to come in the
future). As before, if you can't make this event, we will be doing this
monthly for the foreseeable future. It's a lot of fun, and we hope to see
you out there Sunday or any other time we're out at the parks. Contact my
indispensable partner in the BVARC POTA project* Anthony (W5LIC)* or myself
if you have any questions about this event.

Thanks and 73!

Subject: [BVARC] Announcement: Resignation from Future Position at BVARC BOD

 

All,

I hope you're doing well. I am writing to let you know about a significant
development in my personal life that I want to share with you.

After careful consideration and extensive discussions with my family, I
decided to step down from the upcoming "2 years at Large" position at the
BVARC BOD, a role I was elected to assume in the next two years. This
decision has been made with great thought and reflection, primarily prompted
by the necessity to prioritize family matters.

The main reason behind this choice is a family matter requiring immediate
attention and active involvement. Regrettably, my father-in-law passed away
on December 10th and owned a business; there is a significant need for
assistance during the transitional period. In light of this, my family and I
have decided that it is in our collective best interest to relocate and
dedicate my time and effort to fulfilling his wishes and supporting the
smooth transition of the business.

I hope you understand about this. I am grateful for the opportunity to have
been part of the BVARC community and genuinely appreciate the support and
camaraderie that has defined my time with the club. I am committed to
staying connected and involved in whatever capacity proves feasible.

I appreciate your understanding during this challenging time. I look forward
to maintaining our connection and staying in touch with the club.

Best regards

Hi Philippe

Good luck with the business. If you are using Echolink you can check

Hello BVARC,

As I mentioned at the BVARC General Meeting on Thursday, we're having a WFD
Planning Meeting tonight at 7pm on Zoom. If you're interested in helping
out with WFD, or if you have any questions about it, please join us tonight
on zoom. We'll be discussing WFD location, setup, food, and strategy for
the event.

I do not have the meeting link at the moment, but I did want to get this
reminder out to everyone. I will send the Zoom link out as a reply to this
email before the meeting.

Thanks and 73!

I will miss the banquet this year due to a number of conflicts that have emerged. Mainly a commitment to the Coast Guard Auxiliary for Boat Crew Academy for 6 straight Saturdays and yet another year of mid-week trips to Dallas starting again in mid-January.?

Most are antenna system discovery oriented commentary sprinkled with a few

I find it interesting that we are still having philosophical discussions
about FT8. I run all modes and what I love best about FT8 is that it works
even when SSB or CW will not. It allows me to make contacts well below the
noise floor. It also concentrates many hams in a3k block on each band. I
think it is a silly notion that it is destroying Ham Radio. It seems to be
a natural evolution of the hobby. I often work FT8 with a group on zoom and
it stirs up excitement  to see rare DX or expeditions show up in the
waterfall.

I hear that it takes no skill to operate digital modes, but at the same
time we often have to help people get onboard. This would imply that it
takes a different set of skills. There are also several different operating
schemes that can be deployed in order to make a successful contact.

What I don't hear much from the guys that run digital are things like CW or
SSB are ruining the hobby. The entire concept of a mode of operation
ruining the hobby sounds just as silly in this context as it does for FT8.

Did FT8 save the hobby? That is just as silly as the other side of the
discussion. I do believe it enhanced the hobby and it allowed many hams to
enjoy the airwaves during the low point of the solar cycle.

The internet is destroying the world, but not Ham Radio. If you
Facebook Twitter, Tick Tock, or engage in misleading propaganda with Email,
well that is where the real danger thrives. They used to say " Don't
Believe Everything You Read"  For some strange reason no one seems to apply
any critical thinking skills to the internet. There is certainly some
entertainment value to  Anti-Social Media, but it certainly should not be
elevated to an official news source or guiding authority over people's
lives.  They have been very effective at stirring the pot of humanity and
motivating people to think and feel a certain way using propaganda as a
source.

I am an all band all mode sort of ham. There are so many aspects to this
hobby and I find new ways to enjoy them all. I could see the FCC, ARRL, or
other organization that could destroy ham radio, but I don't see that
coming from an operation mode.

If you haven't experienced FT8 or any of the digital modes, then I
encourage you to do so. It is a great part of the hobby. If you don't find
a way to enjoy FT8, you can always get your money back. :)  CW and SSB will
always be there when you need it.

Have Fun,
Jeff

I wanted to add that FT8 also has lead to and should lead to more, variations on the mode.  There is a version that allows you to hold full QSO?s.  It?s kind of like a slow version of PSK31.

FT8 also allowed me to play HF when I was in a condo and only allowed a rain gutter downspout as an antenna. There was a constant S9+ noise level making it impossible to use SSB and PSK31 also had issues with that noise level.  FT8 heard a LOT and was able to get me quite a few DX contacts on aprox 30 watts.

I am SURE it will expand the hobby as the mode branches out due to innovation and invention.

Subject: Re: [BVARC] Interesting article about FT8

I find it interesting that we are still having philosophical discussions about FT8. I run all modes and what I love best about FT8 is that it works even when SSB or CW will not. It allows me to make contacts well below the noise floor. It also concentrates many hams in a3k block on each band. I think it is a silly notion that it is destroying Ham Radio. It seems to be a natural evolution of the hobby. I often work FT8 with a group on zoom and it stirs up excitement  to see rare DX or expeditions show up in the waterfall.

I hear that it takes no skill to operate digital modes, but at the same time we often have to help people get onboard. This would imply that it takes a different set of skills. There are also several different operating schemes that can be deployed in order to make a successful contact.

What I don't hear much from the guys that run digital are things like CW or SSB are ruining the hobby. The entire concept of a mode of operation ruining the hobby sounds just as silly in this context as it does for FT8.

Did FT8 save the hobby? That is just as silly as the other side of the discussion. I do believe it enhanced the hobby and it allowed many hams to enjoy the airwaves during the low point of the solar cycle.

The internet is destroying the world, but not Ham Radio. If you Facebook Twitter, Tick Tock, or engage in misleading propaganda with Email, well that is where the real danger thrives.

The digital modes are not much good for meeting new people and rag-chewing.  But if you are a builder or experimenter	they give us some incredible tools. 

FT8 the perfect tool for running tests 24X7.  Just send CQ on FT8 and you can almost instantly see which stations around the world heard you signals on ?pskreporter?.  You will even get an honest, consistent signal report.  You can switch between antennas, vary power, or even try different radios and get instant world wide signal reports.  If you like to experiment with the equipment or band conditions throughout the day and night you can?t beet it.

BTW,  digital usually refers to binary signals which are either on or off, high or low, exist or do not exist.  CW has dit, daw, and no carrier  (three possible states) so can it really be called digital?

Just a thought,

Nick

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm looking for someone to jump on 10M. I
need to test some microphones and need radio feedback. If anyone is
available this morning, let me know or text me on my cell# 281-433-7727.

Thank you!
