Presents _Henry Radio Inc._ as a manufacturer of solid-state RF power amplifiers, detailing their capabilities across HF, VHF, and UHF bands. The company designs and builds custom amplifiers tailored for various applications, including amateur radio, commercial broadcasting, military, scientific, and industrial uses. These amplifiers are manufactured in the USA, emphasizing domestic production. Beyond amplifier manufacturing, the resource highlights Henry Radio's role as a distributor for _Bird RF Test Equipment_, including wattmeters, dummy loads, and attenuators. It also mentions _Tohtsu Coaxial Relays_ and a range of miscellaneous amplifier parts and electronic accessories, providing a broader scope of communication equipment offerings. Additionally, the site describes a trunking two-way radio system operating on the 450-476 MHz band, covering significant portions of Los Angeles and Orange County. This service caters to professional dispatch needs for ambulances, taxis, and other commercial entities, requiring no long-term contracts.

End-Fed Half-Wave Antennas (EFHWAs) are analyzed for their utility in portable QRP operations, emphasizing their simplicity, efficiency, and predictable radiation patterns compared to other portable antenna types. The discussion contrasts EFHWAs with vertical antennas, random length wires, and center-fed dipoles, highlighting the common pitfalls of each, such as ground system dependency for verticals and feedline issues for dipoles. The article details the electrical half-wavelength calculation using the formula L (Ft) = 468/F(MHz) and explains how EFHWAs can be resonant on harmonic frequencies, enabling multiband operation. Various deployment configurations are presented, including the inverted L, inverted Vee, sloping wire, and vertical setups, each with specific advantages for radiation angle and polarization. For instance, a vertical EFHWA offers a low angle of radiation suitable for DX contacts without requiring an extensive ground system. The resource also addresses the counterpoise requirements, suggesting a quarter-wavelength wire or connection to a metallic structure for decoupling. A schematic diagram for a simple parallel-tuned circuit tuner, based on the _Rainbow Bridge/Tuner_ design, is provided, detailing component values for 30 and 40 meters, including a 6 microhenry toroidal inductor and a 20-100 picofarad mica compression capacitor. The tuner's adjustment process for SWR matching is also outlined.

The Amateur Radio network now known as the Caribbean Emergency and Weather Net was established in 1958 by Colonel Henry Frew, KV4BZ, for the purpose of having a general calling frequency for the Caribbean Islands and our North and South American friends.

The club is promoting awareness of Henry Hudson's 400th anniversary voyage of discovery, as well as encouraging others to try amateur radio and foster goodwill.

This antenna just requires about 24m of free space instead of 41m that a normal half wave 80m antenna needs to hang up. The so called loaded dipole uses a coil in every dipole arm to electrically lengthen the mechanical too short dipole arms. Every coil has an inductivity of 120 microHenry.

A dual insert microphone design for the Icom IC-7300 transceiver utilizes a **Besson BZ2400 M4 Rocking Armature** insert for frequencies from 500 Hz to 3 kHz, exhibiting a rising response of approximately 11 dB. A generic Electret Condenser insert, powered by the transceiver's microphone line, covers the low-frequency range from 100 Hz to 500 Hz. A Low Pass Filter is incorporated after the Electret insert to prevent frequency overlap, and a pre-set potentiometer (VR1) adjusts the low-frequency response, balancing the output of both inserts. The design emphasizes a "Close Talking" arrangement and addresses audio "colorization" by housing the Besson insert in a thick rubber holder with a foam boot, separate from the circuitry, with the Electret insert also wrapped in a foam boot. Critical importance is placed on using the correct BZ2400 M4 insert with 12 holes in its face plate. The frequency response table for the BZ2400 M4 insert shows 0 dB at 500 Hz, rising to +11 dB at 3000 Hz, while the Electret insert with the Low Pass Filter provides 0 dB at 100 Hz, rolling off to -9 dB at 500 Hz and -50 dB at 3000 Hz. This combination ensures a broad, balanced audio spectrum for SSB operation. The project includes a circuit diagram, a comprehensive parts list detailing components like a 1 Henry iron-cored inductor (L1) and various capacitors, and a board layout within the metal tube. The completed unit provides a tailored audio profile for the IC-7300, enhancing transmit audio quality.
