This improved multiband trap dipole introduces a new trap design and a change in trap location. The antenna features double-coaxial-cable-wound traps having lower reactance and a higher quality factor (Q) than earlier coax-cable traps by W8NX

This project details three variants of a vertical half-wave antenna design for the 4-meter (70MHz) amateur radio band. The antennas use end-feeding with a parallel-tuned circuit for impedance matching to 50-ohm coaxial cable. The first variant uses suspended flexible wire for portable use, the second employs a fiberglass rod with internal wire for permanent outdoor installation, and the third utilizes aluminum tent poles for quick mobile deployment. Despite the narrow bandwidth of the matching circuit, this suits the narrow 4m FM allocation well. The design offers an effective omnidirectional radiation pattern and can be constructed with readily available materials.

The MCP-F6/F7 software facilitates memory channel and menu data creation for the Kenwood TH-F6A, TH-F7A, and TH-F7E transceivers. It operates on _Windows_ XP (SP3+), Vista (SP2+), Windows 7 (RTM+), Windows 8 (RTM+), Windows 8.1 (RTM+), Windows 10, and Windows 11. System requirements include a CPU faster than the OS recommendation, RAM exceeding the OS recommendation, and **2 MB** of free hard drive space. Display resolution must be XGA (1024 x 768) or higher. Connectivity to the transceiver requires an optional PG-4Y (RS-232) or KPG-22U (USB 2.0) programming cable. The KPG-22U cable necessitates a virtual COM port driver installation. The software supports COM1 through COM20 for RS-232 communication. Installation requires administrator privileges and involves executing "setup.exe" from the extracted MFX101.zip archive. Uninstallation is performed via the Control Panel's "Uninstall a program" function or by re-executing "setup.exe." Created data files are not removed during uninstallation and require manual deletion. The software version is **1.01**. DXZone Focus: Kenwood TH-F6 F7 | Memory Management | Windows | RS-232

Coax is a very important part of a satellite station. It is almost as important as the antennas you choose. This article discusses choosing coaxial cables for satellite communication, emphasizing factors like line loss. It compares types such as RG-8, RG-58, Belden 9913/9913F, LMR-400, and hardline, highlighting their impact on signal preservation.

Operating a ZS6BKW antenna often involves understanding its lineage from the _G5RV_ design, with specific modifications by ZS6BKW to optimize performance on several bands. Through computational analysis and field measurements, the antenna's dimensions were refined to allow operation on 10, 12, 17, 20, and 40 meters without an antenna tuner. For 80, 30, and 15 meters, a tuner is necessary, though efficiency on 30 and 15 meters is noted as not particularly high. The physical configuration consists of two 13.755-meter radiating elements fed by a 12.20-meter section of 450-ohm ladder line. Tuning the antenna on the 20-meter band is critical, and any deviation in the ladder line's characteristic impedance necessitates recalculating the element lengths. The design is also referenced in the 12th edition of _Rothammel's Antennenbuch_, page 219. Proper common mode current suppression is crucial at the transition from ladder line to coaxial cable. This can be achieved with a common mode choke, such as several turns of coax wound into a coil or over a ferrite toroid like an Amidon T130. While a 1:1 balun is an option, it may introduce issues.

Presents a detailed compilation of **6-meter** voice repeaters operating within the 53-54 MHz segment across Australia (VK) and New Zealand (ZL), providing essential data for local and visiting radio amateurs. Each entry specifies the repeater's output and input frequencies, its assigned callsign (where applicable), the primary service area, current operational status (e.g., operational, under construction, scrapped), and a **Maidenhead grid locator**. The resource also includes the date the repeater was last heard or updated, offering insights into its recent activity. This listing is meticulously maintained by VK2KFJ, who updates entries based on personal observations and confirmed reports from other operators. It serves as a practical reference for hams seeking to utilize the 6-meter band for local communication via repeaters, particularly for those engaged in mobile or portable operations within the specified regions. The data helps operators configure their transceivers correctly for accessing these vital communication hubs. Beyond the repeater details, the page also notes common 6-meter FM voice simplex frequencies, such as the 52.525 MHz international call frequency, and lists historical packet simplex frequencies, though their current operational status is uncertain. This comprehensive approach ensures that operators have a broad overview of 6-meter activity in VK and ZL.

This web article by VK3BLG details the construction of an experimental 70cm (432 MHz) circularly polarized patch antenna, intended for satellite communication. The resource provides dimensions, feed point specifications, and impedance matching considerations for a single patch element, with discussion extending to array configurations for circular polarization. Construction involves a copper patch element on a dielectric substrate, fed via a coaxial cable. The design is based on information derived from AO-40 satellite antenna specifications, focusing on achieving circular polarization for satellite reception. The article includes specific dimensions for the patch and feed points, along with impedance values. Validation is implied through on-air satellite reception reports, with initial signal reports of **1 S-point above noise** for AO-40 beacons using a grid reflector, improving to **3-4 S-points above noise** with a 2-turn helical feed. The author references a _NanoVNA_ for impedance measurements and discusses the relationship between slot and dipole antennas in the context of patch design.

This online project guide details the construction of a homebrew boom microphone system. It details the assembly of a microphone shell from a 3/4" PVC pipe section and an end cap, requiring a drilled hole for a snug fit of the electret or condenser mic element. The internal wiring schematic specifies a **2.2 K** resistor and a **47 uF** polar capacitor for signal conditioning, with a circuit diagram provided for integration with IC-706 series transceivers. The guide outlines the use of CAT-5 cable for internal connections, incorporating strain relief at the rear of the mic shell, and an inline 3.5 mm jack to facilitate an external _PTT_ line, designed for a foot-mounted switch. Further construction involves fabricating a microphone shock mount from a 2-inch PVC connector, detailing the creation of four "fingers" and the insertion of screw-eyes for attaching elastic bands, which are twisted 180 degrees for tensioning and vibration isolation. A foam wind screen is also incorporated into the microphone assembly, secured with adhesive. The boom arm itself is repurposed from an articulated architect lamp, with the original lamp assembly converted into a **60 watt** resistive load for testing power sources. Microphone cabling is secured to the boom arm using wire ties, ensuring sufficient slack at hinge points to maintain articulation. The boom base is mounted to a bookshelf, requiring specific positioning to achieve proper microphone placement in front of the operator. Performance evaluation of the microphone system is conducted through on-air audio signal reports from other amateur radio operators.
