The **United States Islands (USI) Awards Program** is an amateur radio operating activity centered on activating and chasing islands located within the fifty states of the United States, its territories, and protectorates. These islands encompass coastal shores, lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams, offering a diverse range of operating environments. The program provides numerous achievement awards for both island activators and island chasers, encouraging portable operations and mini-DXpeditions. Participants engage in year-round activities, including the **One-Day-Getaway (1DG)**, a casual portable operation held on the second Saturday of May, and the U.S. Islands QSO Party (IQP), a 15-hour contest occurring on the last full weekend of August. USI encourages hams to discover and operate from islands in their local areas, providing an alternative to traditional Field Day operations for outdoor radio enjoyment. The program supports various operating styles, including portable, walk-on, paddle-to, motor-to, mobile, and drive-on activations. Recent activities include AC1RH activating MA064R Eagle Island daily, aiming for over 100 activations using 600 watts, and KD9ZAB and KD5YZY qualifying MO021R Tower Rock, which is also a POTA US-10147 location. The USI program maintains a clear distinction from the Islands On The Air (IOTA) awards program.

A 50-ohm generator feeding a 50-ohm line connected to a _quarter-wave transformer_ (150 ohms) terminated in a 450-ohm load is analyzed to understand transient behavior. The paper meticulously tracks voltage and current waves, reflection coefficients, and power levels through a sequence of events, starting from quiescent conditions. It details how incident and reflected waves combine and interact at impedance discontinuities, illustrating the dynamic changes in impedance and SWR at various points in the system. The analysis reveals that the impedance at the interface between the 50-ohm line and the 150-ohm transformer changes from 150 ohms to **64.3 ohms** after the first reflected wave arrives. Subsequent reflections cause the impedance to asymptotically approach 50 ohms, reaching **53.22 ohms** after five wave terms. The study also examines the generator's reaction to transient SWR changes, noting that a 3:1 SWR can temporarily reduce generator output to 0.75 watts, but these effects are temporary and diminish as the system approaches steady-state conditions.

The resource provides specific information regarding amateur radio operations from various French islands, focusing on geographical and visual data. It includes photographic documentation of locations and detailed maps, which are crucial for operators planning DXpeditions or seeking to understand the unique challenges and opportunities presented by island activations. The content aims to support enthusiasts interested in rare grid squares and IOTA (Islands On The Air) awards. While currently under maintenance, the site's stated future enhancements include QSL card examples, which would offer practical insights into confirmation processes for these specific entities. The emphasis on French islands distinguishes it from more general DX resources, providing a concentrated body of information for a niche but active segment of the amateur radio community, particularly those pursuing island-specific operating awards.

Rail Radio Communication Feeds broadcasted from all over the United States and beyond.

The QRPSPOTS.com domain, once a dedicated resource for QRP operators to share real-time DX spots, has undergone a significant transformation. Previously, it served the amateur radio community by providing a platform for DX spotting, including features like a telnet cluster, web cluster, JOTA cluster, and integration with RBN and PSK Reporter data. This functionality was specifically tailored to the QRP operating mode, allowing hams running low power to find and share contacts effectively across various bands. However, the current iteration of the website, as observed, no longer presents any amateur radio content. Instead, it displays information related to a Chinese educational institution, featuring sections like "About Us," "Talent Training," "Teaching and Research," and "International Exchange." The site also lists academic notices, enrollment information for international professional qualifications, and details about CPA and ACCA project classes. This shift indicates that the domain has been repurposed, moving away from its original ham radio utility. The Four State QRP Group, which previously sponsored the QRP Spots service, is no longer associated with the content presented on this URL.

Observing extremely slow CW (QRSS) signals requires specialized reception and display techniques, often involving long-term signal integration to make faint traces visible. This resource compiles numerous screenshots from active QRSS grabbers globally, providing a visual record of signal propagation and operational activity on specific amateur bands. Each entry typically includes the callsign of the grabber station, its grid square, and often the band being monitored, such as 40 meters or 30 meters. The compendium presents a diverse array of grabber outputs, with examples from North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. Notable stations featured include _W5GB_ at New Mexico State University, _VE1VDM_ in Canada, and _I2NDT_ (the author's own grabber). The collection illustrates the unique visual signatures of QRSS transmissions, where signals appear as faint lines or patterns against a noise floor, often over extended periods. The utility of such a collection lies in its ability to demonstrate real-world QRSS signal characteristics and the geographical distribution of active grabber sites. It serves as a historical snapshot of QRSS activity, allowing operators to compare signal traces and observe propagation phenomena across different continents.

Constructing a high-power 70cm solid-state amplifier presents unique challenges, particularly when aiming for 500 watts output using modern LDMOS devices. This resource details the author's experience building a 70cm amplifier based on a _Freescale MRFE6VP5600H_ transistor, initially from an RFHAM kit. It meticulously outlines the necessary modifications to achieve advertised performance, including optimizing input and output matching, correcting bias circuitry, and ensuring proper output balun connections for stability. The author shares specific adjustments, such as trimming the prototyping board for better transistor fit, drilling additional mounting holes for improved heat sinking, and replacing original matching capacitors with a single _20pf MIN02 metal mica_ for superior output. A critical fix involved jumpering gate decoupling pads to balance the push-pull transistor halves, which increased output to 580W and improved IMD. The resource also highlights a crucial correction to the output balun connection, initially reversed in the _Dubus_ article schematic, which resolved intermittent stability issues. Test results are provided, showing input power, output power, and drain current at 50V, demonstrating the amplifier's performance after modifications. This practical account offers valuable insights for hams undertaking similar high-power UHF amplifier projects, especially those working with LDMOS devices and kit-based constructions.

This resource, a blog from the Penang Amateur Radio Club (PARC), offers insights into various aspects of amateur radio in Malaysia. One post details monitoring Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) on the 2m band, providing specific frequencies like 122.750 MHz AM for Butterworth and 126.400 MHz AM for Penang, along with sample aviation weather and operational data. Another entry critiques the lengthy and costly process of obtaining an amateur radio license in Malaysia, contrasting it with the more streamlined FCC licensing system in the United States, citing a 1-year wait and RM 414 (USD 125) for 10 years in Malaysia versus 3 weeks and USD 14 for 10 years in the US. The blog also covers internal club matters, such as the 2007 Annual General Meeting (AGM) attendance and council elections, highlighting member dissatisfaction with outdated newsletters and a call for "reformasi." Additionally, it presents local phonetic alphabets in Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese, and discusses monitoring AM broadcast bands for international stations like Voice of America on 1575 kHz and Zhong Yang Ren Min Guang Bo Dian Tai on 1134 kHz, offering alternatives to local 2m repeater chatter. The author, "firstclass," shares personal observations and criticisms regarding the Malaysian ham radio landscape.
