The 160-meter amateur radio band, spanning 1.8 to 2 MHz, was historically the lowest frequency amateur allocation until the introduction of the 630-meter and 2200-meter bands. ITU Region 1 allocates 1.81–2 MHz, while other regions use 1.8–2 MHz. This band, often called "Top Band" or "Gentleman's Band," was established by the International Radiotelegraph Conference in Washington, D.C., on October 4, 1927, with an initial allocation of 1.715–2 MHz. Effective operation on 160 meters presents significant challenges due to the large antenna sizes required; a quarter-wavelength monopole is over 130 feet, and horizontal dipoles need similar heights. Propagation is typically local during the day, but long-distance contacts are common at night, especially around sunrise and sunset, and during solar minimums. The band experienced a resurgence after the LORAN-A system was phased out in North America in December 1980, leading to the removal of power restrictions.

Operating on the 146.880 MHz repeater, the Inland Empire VHF Radio Amateurs (IEVHFRA) hosts a weekly net, providing a consistent on-air gathering for amateurs within Eastern Washington and Spokane County. My experience with similar regional VHF nets confirms their value in fostering local ham radio community and sharing information, often covering topics from equipment troubleshooting to upcoming hamfests. The club, active for over **50 years**, also organizes the _Inland Empire VHF Tailgate Swap_, an event featuring vendors, emergency communication demonstrations by Spokane ARES-ACS, and POTA/SOTA activity setups. Such events are crucial for hands-on learning and direct interaction, which I've found invaluable for new licensees and seasoned operators alike. Beyond on-air activities and events, IEVHFRA supports the hobby through amateur radio classes and testing, facilitating new license acquisition and upgrades. They also maintain an online messaging group for members, ensuring continuous communication and information exchange.

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.

Over 25 years of experience in custom brass casting informs the production of personalized amateur radio call sign belt buckles. These solid brass buckles are crafted using traditional sand casting methods, ensuring a unique, durable product for radio operators. Each piece is hand-poured and polished in Washington State, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship. The manufacturing process begins with a customer's idea, which is then translated into a graphic proposal. Upon approval, patterns are created for the custom edition. An antique foundry press compresses specially formulated sand around these patterns, followed by hand-pouring molten brass into the molds. After cooling, the castings are sandblasted, inspected, and meticulously polished by skilled craftsmen. Northwest Brass Works provides a lifetime guarantee on the buckle hardware, offering repair or replacement for any breakage. They also offer guidance on maintaining the polished luster of the brass using products like _Nevr-Dull_, ensuring the buckle's longevity and appearance for many years of wear.

This page details a portable setup for the Yaesu ATAS-120 antenna, designed for Field Day and similar portable operations. The setup utilizes a modified music instrument stand as a base, providing a stable, low-to-the-ground platform. An antenna mounting plate secures the ATAS-120, with a PVC tube adapter fitting into the stand. The radial system consists of fifteen 0.1 wavelength radials for 40 meters (4m/13'), grouped into five sets of three wires, each attached to a ground lug. These lugs connect to bolts on the mounting plate with wingnuts, allowing the radials to spread out at 24-degree angles. The author successfully used this setup with a Yaesu FT-897D on 40m, 20m, and 15m SSB during Field Days in Western Washington, achieving East Coast contacts during daylight hours. The design emphasizes stability without the need for guy wires.
