The Cambridge University Wireless Society (CUWS) serves as the amateur radio society for students and staff at Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Universities, fostering interest and activity in two-way radio communication. It provides a platform for members to engage with various aspects of amateur radio, including operating, technical experimentation, and community building within the university environment. The society's activities typically encompass station operation, antenna construction, and participation in contests and DXing. As a university-affiliated club, CUWS offers practical experience in radio theory and application, often utilizing the club callsign _G6UW_. Members learn about different modes of operation, such as CW, SSB, and digital modes, and gain hands-on experience with transceivers and associated equipment. The society's focus includes preparing members for amateur radio licensing exams and promoting ethical operating practices. Participation in CUWS provides a foundation for future involvement in the broader amateur radio community.

The Washington Totem Award recognizes licensed radio amateurs who submit proof of two-way radio contact with the state of Washington. Applicants must confirm contacts with a specified number of Washington counties, with different requirements for stations located within and outside the state. For example, stations outside Washington need 25 confirmed contacts from 25 different counties, while Washington stations require 15 contacts from 15 different counties. Contacts must be made after January 1, 1970, and may be established on any amateur band using any mode. QSL cards or other acceptable proof of contact must be submitted with the application. The award promotes activity within Washington state and encourages DXers to seek out contacts across its diverse geographical areas. Applications are processed by the Western Washington DX Club, which also manages the award rules and verification process.

Designing and constructing a two-element receiving loop antenna array for HF operation involves specific considerations for achieving high directivity and noise reduction. This resource details a homebrew system comprising two 30-inch diamond-shaped loops, spaced 20 feet apart, which are fed through mast-mounted preamplifiers and passive signal combiners. The operational principle relies on adjusting phase delays between elements via precise _Belden 8241_ coaxial cable lengths, optimized for specific bands from 160m to 20m. Performance data, derived from _EZ-NEC_ modeling, illustrates consistent 90° azimuth-plane beamwidth and low take-off angles across the target bands, with _Receiving Directivity Factor_ (RDF) values comparable to a 300-foot Beverage antenna. The article presents detailed elevation and azimuth plots for 20m, 30m, 40m, 80m, and 160m, demonstrating the array's ability to provide strong response at low DX angles while also supporting _NVIS_ signals. Key components like the _DX Engineering RPA-1_ preamplifier and _DXE RSC-2_ signal combiner are discussed, alongside the importance of impedance matching to preserve antenna patterns. The construction emphasizes self-contained elements that do not require ground radials, offering a compact solution suitable for suburban environments and stealth installations, with a focus on optimizing receive performance independently from transmit antennas.

Since 1946, VK6 Weekly News has delivered weekly broadcasts to amateur radio operators across Australia, particularly in the VK6 region. The broadcasts include news updates, acknowledgments of contributors, and calls for operators to engage by transmitting news or submitting stories. This initiative strengthens community ties among amateur radio enthusiasts and encourages collaboration in maintaining the network of repeaters. The broadcasts reach various states, including Western Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales, ensuring that information is disseminated widely. VK6 Weekly News emphasizes the importance of operator contributions, thanking them for their efforts in sustaining the amateur radio community. Accessible through multiple platforms, it supports ongoing amateur radio activities and development in the region. Operators are invited to participate actively, enhancing the richness of the news content and fostering a collaborative spirit within the amateur radio community.

A 15-pin data switch, typically a rotary-knob type designed for DB-25 connectors, forms the basis for this microphone selector project. The resource details the conversion process, which involves replacing the original DB-25 connectors with **RJ-45** or **RJ-12** jacks to accommodate modern amateur radio microphones. It specifically addresses wiring for radios like the Icom IC-706 series (including the IC-7000 and IC-703) and Yaesu transceivers such as the FT-857, FT-897, FT-817, FT-7800, FT-7900, FT-8800, FT-8900, FTM-100, and FTM-400. The design ensures all microphone lines are switched straight through, with separate contacts for external speaker/headphone jacks, allowing simultaneous switching. The project emphasizes the practical application of switching between a headset for net control and a hand mic for rag-chewing without repeatedly plugging and unplugging cables. It highlights modifications to the original concept, such as eliminating a separate PTT jack by integrating PTT into headset cables and building the external speaker cable directly into the selector. The article provides guidance on managing the non-color-coded wiring often found in these data switches by soldering wires one by one from old to new connectors, ensuring correct pin alignment. This approach simplifies the conversion, making it accessible for hams seeking a functional and cost-effective mic switching solution.
