The article details how to eliminate Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from the Behringer HA400 headphone amplifier when used in ham radio setups. While the HA400 is praised for its quality and affordability, it was not designed for RF environments, causing distortion when used with a 500-watt radio station. Initial attempts using clamp-on ferrites on the headphone and power cables only partially resolved the issue. Upon opening the unit, the author discovered the circuit lacked RF bypassing components. The solution involved installing 0.1μF (104) capacitors at key points in the circuit: the power supply input, audio circuits, and op amp inputs. This modification, combined with the external ferrites, completely eliminated the RFI problem, making the unit suitable for ham radio operations.

The **5-Port 12 Volt DC Power Strip Kit (Rev 4)** offers a practical solution for managing shack power distribution, providing one input and five fused outputs. All connections utilize the ubiquitous Anderson PowerPole connectors, a standard for many amateur radio operators, ensuring a clean, organized, and safe way to power multiple 12 VDC transceivers and accessories from a single source. This design mitigates the common issue of tangled wires and overloaded connections in a typical ham shack. Rated for a maximum current of 20 Amps at 12 VDC, the strip incorporates an integrated LED to indicate when external power is applied. Each output is individually fused, a critical safety feature that protects connected equipment from overcurrent conditions without affecting other devices on the strip. This level of protection is essential for preserving sensitive radio gear during operation. Assembly requires basic soldering skills and hand tools, with a high-power soldering iron and wide chisel tip specifically recommended for best results. The kit's compact dimensions of 4.13" x 1.78" allow for flexible mounting via screw holes, making it suitable for various shack configurations and portable operations.

Follow the step-by-step instructions provided by WB5NHL Ham Radio to improve the performance of your headphone amplifier in ham radio activities.

A website deticated to Boathancors, with lots of pictures of some of the most popular ol tube radios from Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, Heathkit, Lafayette, National, Zenith and some projects. Boatanchor is amateur radio slang for heavy old tube radio equipment. Originally derogatory, the term is now used affectionately. Seeing an old set working like new after careful repair, cleaning, and alignment gives one great satisfaction.

The FF-501DX LPF, a high-performance VHF and 10m filter, was obtained at a friend's SK sale. After becoming more active on 10m, the author reexamined the LPF and discovered it to be of high quality. The filter's efficiency was outstanding and the return loss/VSWR was better than estimated. The LPF was connected to a Bird 50R dummy load to evaluate insert loss, cutoff, attenuation over 70MHz, and return loss. The original specifications were found in an old radio magazine, along with a link to the original one-page information sheet. Comparing the results to the original specs confirms the LPF's quality.

The Valley Radio Club of Oregon (formerly Valley Radio Club of Eugene), located in Eugene, Oregon, was chartered in 1929, and is one of the oldest continuously operated club stations in the United States. It has been affiliated with the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) since 1932, and associated with the American Red Cross since 1951.

AA DX Group was founded in March 1, 1974 in The Netherlands. Our members was more than 10000 from all over the World. Because during the years many of our members became "Silent Keys" or they are not active on the air anymore, we deceide to make new fresh group and to delete all old database. So, we are the new - old Alfa Alfa DX Group and you are welcome to be our member. We make avaiable all Alfa Alfa numbers for new and active CB members and SWL ( Shrot Wave Listeners ). Alfa Alfa World Wide DX Radio group is looking or ACTIVE CB Operators and SWL stations ! The New AADX team in in 2024 Main base in 178AA000 178AADX000 in Belgaria

The Schoharie County Amateur Radio Association (SCARA) was established by a group of Schoharie County amateurs, along with a few from just over the County line in 1946. That date is based on the best we can find from old club records and recall of conversations with some of the original group, now all SK.
