Speaker 1 (00:00):
See any country banned from such communications by the International
Amateur Radio Union. Now, I don't think the IARU bans countries.
If they did, it's probably a bad actor who wouldn't
listen to him anyway. So that's not going to be.
(00:23):
It be any country whose administration has notified the r
r L that it objects to such communications. No, it's
not going to be that because the ar r L
is not a regulatory agency. It's well, it's a private
amateur radio organization. Yeah, a any country whose administration has
(00:50):
notified the International Telecommunications Union the ITU that it objects
to such communications, that make sense.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It makes sense to me. Well, so yeah, I'm gonna
go with a hey, hey the chat room. What did
they say that? Many of them an just see one
seeing there? But nobody else answered, yeah, I see an
(01:19):
a in there. I think we'll see one now, yep, okay,
another coming district one in now. We must have been
talking too fast, but we're in Mississippi, man, we will
do that. I don't even know how to talk fast.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
No, that's there's something in a state constitution about that.
I think yep, I got one for you, all right.
I feel like this was a setup because she wanted
to take it first.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I was just I mean, I didn't really look to
see whatever they gonna all. All right, but if it
works out to be a, sup, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I'm sure you are. I won'der.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Which of the following circumstances are one way transmissions by
an amateur station prohibited A in all circumstances, B broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
C International Morse Code practice for D telecommand or transmission
of telemetry. When way transmissions, well, it's not. It's not
A because I know telecommand, transmission telemetry is perfectly fine.
(02:38):
Morse Code practice is fine too, So it's got to
be B broadcasting. So you don't get on there and
just like broadcast messages out to anybody that may happen
to be listening, and they're not expecting answer back or
trying to get an answer back.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, most people in there are saying B.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Well that's what I'm saying. I'm going to agree with
you just because that is the right answer. I think.
Then it is there. You go here, you need one
from the last one? Told you? Yeah, you did? You
want to give me next one for next one? If
you get ahead? Yeah, I don't know. We'll have to
(03:27):
see how it goes. When is it permissible to transmit
messages encoded to obscure their meaning? A Only during contests?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
B only when transmitting certain improved digital codes.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
See only when transmitting control commands to space stations or
radio control craft r D never.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
When is it permissible to transmit messages encoded to obscure
their meaning only during contest? Well, you know that that's
a chance.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That's probably not it. I don't think that's.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Contest purpose only when transmitting certain approved digital modes codes
now D never that's pretty close answer there. But actually
(04:28):
to accommodate technology, I'm gonna say it's see only when
transmitting control codes to space stations or radio control craft.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, you wouldn't want.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
To transmit commands to radio control crafts or space stations
out in the clear where everybody's.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Exactly So, yeah, it's it's the I can see that
happen to it and take five minutes for some money
at that stuff. You're right, makes sense? Uh, perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I under what condition does an amateur station authorized to
transmit music using a phone emission? A when in some
little to an authorized retransmission of a man's spacecraft communications,
B when the music produces no spurrious emissions, C when
transmissions are limited to less than three minutes per hour,
(05:34):
or D when the music is transmitted above one eighty Megorhertz, Well,
you can't sent You can't transit music into one point
two gigs either. Transmission limited to three minutes per hour,
that's not that's not it either. And spuryous emissions to
(05:58):
music doesn't matter. It's gonna be a incidental to an
authorized retransmission of manned spacecraft communications.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah. So I guess if somebody was jamming out up
there in the space station and it was in the background,
and you retransmitted the broadcast the the I guess that's okay. Yeah,
I'm interpreting that. I'm not sure that that's ever happened
or not. I don't know. I've never heard of it,
(06:31):
but I guess it's we did.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It was okay, it must come up at some point
and somebody addressed it. Yeah, everybody, even the cheap old
fellow in there, said I on this one right here,
I don't agree.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You are going to agree to say, yeah, me too. Well, yeah,
I'm agreeing with you. Okay. Well, I'll give it up.
When may amateur radio operators use their stations to notify
other amateurs of the availability of equipment for sale or
trade A.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Never B when the equipment is not the personal property
of either the station license C or the control operator
or their close relatives. C when no profit is made
on the sale. D when selling amateur radio equipment and
(07:34):
not on a regular basis. You know, you might think
it was A on one end of the scale, but
it's it's not. Well, I'm gonna say it's it's D
when selling amateur radio equipment and not on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I think it's C. You think it's C.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
When no profit is made on the celle You're not
really supposed to connect any business.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Money on the radio. No, Let's see, I don't know.
Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's that was not intentional. Okay,
but it just worked out that way. They're still staying
D in there. I see, mm hmmm. I guess that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, it didn't get counted against you since you asked
me that if you sell.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It it don't make a profit, but not on a
regular basis.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well, yeah, I mean that could work. But if you
did make a profit. That's that's okay, that's permitted, but
not on a regular basis. Yeah, you know there is
a Texas Traders Network. Have you ever heard that on
(08:56):
h HF. No, it's uh where people are selling amateur
radio equipment. And I hadn't listened to it in years
and years and never really listened to it that much.
But I'm just wondering now, or there's are there certain
people on there who who have Yeah, I don't know,
(09:17):
must not be, but yeah, you hear people trying to
or you know, I got such and such model radio
and I'm going to sell it, Well, what do you
take for it?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Well, I'll take fifty bucks for it. Yeah, I guess
I've heard that. It's been a while for Yeah, but
it never crossed my mind to get on there for that.
I would.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Listen somewhere else. I don't ever recall. Yeah, I don't
ever recall selling anything over the air. But apparently it's
legal as long as it's not regular. How would you
enforce a no profit rule? I was thinking the same thing.
(10:07):
How would you know if somebody made a profit or not.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, it'd be tough, I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, what if any are other restrictions concerning transmission of
language that may be considered indecent or obscene. A. The
SEC maintains a list of words that are not permitted
to be used on amateur frequencies.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Be any such language is prohibited. C.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
The ITU maintains a lester of words that are not
permitted to be used on amateur frequencies.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Or D there is no such prohibition prohibition. I guess
i'd say, you say that, yeah, And I'm gonna say
the answer for this one is, any such language is prohibited.
I don't think anybody's going to maintain a list of words,
because nobody but George Carlin did that. But I know why, Well,
(11:01):
that's true, he did, and he did a good job
of that too. Well he's famous for it. Yeah, yeah,
other things, but we can't talk about it on the air.
But I'm thinking it's gonna be that U B B. Yeah.
I guess I didn't beat around the bush too much,
but that's pretty much it. Yeah, absolutely nothing. If it's
(11:23):
if it's questionable, if it even kind of seems like
it's kind of not right, and especially not to say
it on the air.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, but not everybody pays attention to that role.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
But yeah, I have to What do you say we
take a break? Sounds like a good idea.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Keep your competitive contesting edge with icon. Icon's high powered
base stations cut through polyps, letting you work the bands
and record those contacts contests from the comfort of your

(14:39):
three of Amateurlogic. Boy, that was what nineteen years ago?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Almost? That just that just kind of blows my mind.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Nineteen years yep, a long time. We're celebrating that too.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Next, I'm going to get some cool stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, we've got a few things here on the table
that we're going to be giving away, and we'll talk
about that later on. We got more questions before that, but.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We got some most stub to give away before that.
Why don't we do that? Now? Hey, how about one
of these cool T shirts you can give away? You
know that would be a good idea. Let me just
say some I comm handcrew T shirts. Yes, same thing
on the front as it does on the back, so
we can leave in a hand fescial look just as
good as you did when you showed up.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
If you'd like to win one of those, there's an
easy way to do that. All you got to do
is send an email to Ham College at amateurlogic dot
tv and.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Just that's it.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You can put a massage in there, send you. Yeah,
you can send you a name and the winner is
going to be Jim McDonald. Awesome, k I seven Z
A X young regulations, Jim. Jim says, please enter me
in the monthly contest for the Icon product. Well, it's
(16:09):
I don't know if that's a product, but it's a
shirt during a shirt. I don't know that they sell them,
but you could win one. They may sell them, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Like he just did win one.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
He did just win one, and whatever else may show
up with it. And he's in Bellingham, Washington, so he's
not far from Icon. Oh yeah, so congratulations Jim. If
you'd like to win, just send us an email Ham
College at Amateur Logic dot tv. You could put a
message in there like Jim did. Just a one liner
(16:43):
be fine. You could write a paragraph that would be
fine too, all right. You could just say well, we
don't want any like they were saying earlier, any of
that in decent europe scene language. But you know we
don't we don't usually receive that, now that I've said this,
(17:10):
so yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Get your name into the queue. Nigel knows about the queues.
They love the queues in England, that's what they call lines.
When you get in the line, they call it the queue. Okay,
what type of amateur stations can automatically retransmit the signals
of other amateur stations? A auxiliary beacon or Earth stations,
D Earth repeater or space stations. C beacon repeater or
(17:37):
space stations.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
D repeater, auxiliary or space stations. What type of amateur
stations can automatically retransmit the signals of other amateur stations?
All those three times real fast? Yeah, let's the auxiliary
beacon or earth Well. No, a beacon is just like
sending out a call sign or something repeatedly. It's not
(18:02):
automatically retransmitting anything. So that'll rule out a for sure,
be automatically retransmit Earth repeater or space stations. I mean,
that would pretty much cover everything, wouldn't it. Uh huh said, No,
that's I don't think that's it. See beacon, repeater or
(18:25):
space stations. Yeah, there again, it's got beacon in there.
I don't know that you can retransmit a beacon because
you're not the beacon. Somebody else is the beacon. If
you to retransmitted them, then that would be false because
you're in different location somebody else's beacon. I won't say
(18:48):
it's de Repeter auxiliary or space stations.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I think that's probably right. That's as close as I
can come. Nookie reading that as bacon can. Yeah, have
you Okay? There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You should eat before you go take your exam.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well you could.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
You could miss this, and they're saying D in the
chat room. Dean Martin agrees, I think I got a
good chance on this one.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Well, I'm not the benchmark on this stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Though, Well, yeah, sometimes you are sometimes yeah. And which
of the following circumstances may the control operator of an
amateur station receive compensation for operating that station? A When
(19:46):
the communication is related to the cell of amateur equipment
by the control operator's employer.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
B when the communication is incidental to class remonstruction at
an educational inst institution, say, when the communication is made
to obtain emergency information for a local broadcast station or D.
All these choices are correct, which of the following circumstances
(20:14):
made the control operator of an amateur station received compensation.
It's definitely not gonna be D because that's kind of
a no no. When communications may debtain where you see
information for a local broadcast station. That still wouldn't be
something you would could get paid for now. B. When
(20:38):
the communication is incidental to a classroom instruction as an
educational institution. I think that's probably gonna be it. But
let's look at A to be sure. When communications related
to the sale. Now, you can't pay somebody able to
get on there and sell your gear, so it's gonna
be B. I'm pretty sure that's gonna be it. When
(20:59):
the communication is incidental to classroom instruction and educational institution,
so the teacher it's getting the normal salary, I'm sure.
So they're teaching radio stuff, I guess, And that's not
what that means.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So if you are just happened to be a professor
or dane of suitent affairs, you really reaching here. Well
I've been saving that up all the way, Okay, okay,
go for it, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, so I don't want to agree with you if
it's B chat room. Yeah, they're all saying. B. When
may I AM your sessions transmit information in support of broadcasting,
program production, or news gathering, assuming no other means is available.
(22:04):
A When communications are directly related to the immediate safety
of human life or protection of property. The when broadcasting
communications two are from the space they do that again?
Is there a space shuttle anymore? No, there's a space station,
So why.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
They didn't update this question? The when broadcasting communications too
are from the space shuttle. See where non commercial programming
is gathered and supplied exclusively to the National Public Radio
Network D never.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Is find the answer yep, when amateur stations, there's many informations.
Are broadcasting protection news gathering when such communications are directly
related to the immediate safety of human life? Well, that's good,
(23:11):
it's not gonna be D because I think it's a Well,
let's look back at them. Where non commercial programming is
gathered exclusively to the National Flu Race the MPR. MPR
doesn't have the exclusivity on it when broadcasting communications to
it from the space show, it's gonna be a When
(23:33):
communications are directly related to the immediate safety of human
life or protection of property, that's pretty much everything's off
the table when it comes to that. Yeah, so that's
going with A and everyone in the CHATTERIM agree. There
(23:53):
you go?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That was you know, that would be pretty easy to
reason out there out of all of those. Yeah, yeah, sure,
especially since there is no space shuttle anymore. That was
pretty much rules that one out. Yeah, and exclusively. It's
a national public radio network now R Yeah, I mean
(24:17):
what do you don't you think the commercial broadcasters would
lobby real heavily on that. But yeah, it's a and
that makes sense. I mean when it comes to safety,
human lives, and protection of property, that trump's just about
everything else.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Fist bump goad A reminder there, thanks Tom. How does
the FCC define broadcasting for the Amateur Radio Service A
two ay transmissions by amateur stations, B any transmission made
by the license station, C transmission messages directed only to
(24:57):
amateur operators. R D transmissions intended for reception by the
general public. Oh yeah, that's pretty easy one there.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
How is the SEC to find broadcasting for the Amateur
Radio Service? Broadcasting is one way? Transmission is not two ways,
so it can't be a any transmission made by the
license station. Now, if that was the case, in we
(25:30):
all be broadcastings. Yeah, let me think of a commercially
U C transmissions of messages directed only to amateur operators.
Now it's D transmissions intended for reception by the general public.
(25:52):
I concur Yeah, which we're not supposed to do that.
Everybody in the chat room, so we're not supposed to Yep,
it is all right. When may an outra station transmit
without identifying on the air, A, when the transmissions are
(26:13):
of a brief nature to make station adjustments. B when
the transmissions are unmodulated, C, when the transmitted power level
is below one WAT or D when transmitting signals control
model craft.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I just kind of happened to know this one because
this is kind of one of my hobbies. It's gonna
be D when transmitting signals control model craft. Although well,
let's see if I'm right first, and then i'll give
the all though I'm pretty sure that's right according to
the chat room. You're right. Okay. So although the like
(26:55):
on a drone, there's a telemetry that comes back from
the drone, you have a way there's a that you
can put in there. You're actually supposed to put your
call sign in there. Years back to you, do you
have a drone call sign?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Would you put your amateur radio cross sign in it?
Because some of them for certain power are you supposed
to have a license? Ah?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Okay, yeah, I'm thinking this question probably came about our
rule came about a long time ago, because today modern
craft probably have the capability of including a call sign
or identification real easy technically, you know, the hardware is
(27:42):
there that wouldn't be hard to do. But in days
gone past, Yeah, you know, you may not have had
that capability to do it. If you wanted to, you
should study along with us right here on Ham College.
We're going to cover all the questions, but if you'd
like to do some outside seat, there.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Are text available. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
You can also do practice tests online at places like
Hamstudy dot org. A number of different places on there
that offer your question and answer pools online. I did
quite a number of those before I went to take mine.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You can buy books. This one right here is the
A r r L. Ham Radio License Manual, fifth edition.
This is a good little thick book here, spiral bound.
It covers more than just some questions. It's got some
background and different explanations, different model theory and such. You
(28:45):
can also get from the a r r L. Gordon
West Amateur Radio Study Guides. Those are also excellent. And
you you study that, you have pretty much kind of pass.
Different ways you can study there. We encourage you or
if you've already got your license, we encourage you to
(29:07):
encourage someone else get there am a radio ticket. It
can be handy and a lot of different occasions, just
just for the fun out of it, which is kind
of what we did.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I've had I've got three people at my job license. Really, yeah,
I haven't got anybody at my job. Longing you're slacking man,
Well I know.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I did get one guy license. Actually I got two licensed.
The that was in a previous job. Then I got
my son licensed. So yeah, it's a tisco here.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Well that's a good one if you got your son license,
because I haven't gotten I'm pretty much defeated by that one.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
We've got some stuff to give away here, so I
think it's only appropriate.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
We're not going to give it away tonight. We're going
to talk about it, give people a chance to get
their name into think might win it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yep, we are going to talk about it. If you'll
stand by for one moment, we'll be right back around
the fifteenth of each month. It's amateur Radio's original, at
the longest running video podcasts, Amateur Logic TV, with hosts
George Thomas Tommy Martin emailed the odinate and Mike Mooreno, roughly,
(30:22):
here's what I have. The bottom trace here is ground.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well the elenent so jiggle suns. They're actually not too bad.
It's light. After putting it together out decided to test everything.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
So I ran in twelve volts and I'm measuring the
output here.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Now, Jan it was yesterday. We're in the antenna switching matrix.
Any one of our six broadcast transmitters could be connected
to any of the twenty two antennas. Personally, I'm so
thrilled that George got the special award, well deserved. My friend,
that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
What about the Super Bowl email?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Did you go to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Were you at home operating that night?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Tune in my amplifier and I lost power in the
shack and went outside the house lost power. The whole
neighborhood went out for about thirty minutes. I don't know
what happened. Oh, so that explains a lot. Now we
can take this and put it over inside our box.
It's flush to the bottom. If we were to rotate,
we can see that thing goes all the way through,
so we'll have a hole in the bottom. What ammunition
(31:23):
do you use?
Speaker 4 (31:23):
In there.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Actually, you can use black powder, you can use WD forty,
you can use you know, anything combustible. You just have
to use the rate quantity. And we assume no responsibility
for mishaps.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Here's what it looks like after I've got them all
soldered together and he ranked up. Okay, let's give it
a try and see how it worked out. So there
you have it, the hula loop. No, you can't mill
out the dogs parking. I have two thin film tiller
cells to run those looks like a little mini weather satellite. Actually,
(31:57):
and I'm using a guitar string for the antennis. I
particularly liked that last one there, twenty nine ninety nine.
You can get a fifty foot garden hose extension cord compo.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Do not get cord wet. Now.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Most of these j poles are built with metal elements
or toothing. The reason I chose wire for this one
is the length of this particular one. So I wanted
to hang it from the tree so I can hoist
it up there.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, no, fishing well, we couldn't find the real is that?
What that is? All right?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Tommy sing the theme song here, it's.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
The last show. Whatever. We decided to shut her down.
I'm just gonna bottle on now. Just let it go,
just let her out.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Well, you know, amateur logic our parents show here, has
it started in what year?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Two thousand and five? Yep? Katrina here? Yep?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Right after, well, portions of it were shot before, portions
after right around the town Hurricane Katrina years ago, nineteen
years ago, to be precise. And we're celebrating next month.
We're gonna give away a great price package here a
variety of auems icon I see seven o five, an
(33:28):
Intelltron power supply from Gigaparts also and Intellatron antenna and
Massi and Poloni or Paoloni how do you pronounce it
coaxial cable. We're gonna talk a little more about these items. First,
the Ice seven o five. We actually know someone who
(33:50):
has one of these rigs. He's got it all backed
up and ready to go. That's Tommy's right. It's the
IC seven oh five HF six meter two meter and
four forty megahertz multi mode portable trends, fever base station
performance and features in the pomme you hand, whether you've
(34:13):
taken your hobby to a soda PODA or some other
on the air location. The IC seven oh five will
be your go to rig from HF to fifty one
forty four four to forty megahertz. You can enjoy a
variety of bands in the d STAR, DV single side band, CW,
(34:33):
riddy AM and FM modes. The IC seven oh five
receives continuously from thirty megahertz through one hundred and forty
four megahertz band, and you can also enjoy FM broadcast
and air band receptions and the IC seven oh five
employees and r F Direct Sampling system where RF signals
(34:54):
are directly converted to digital radio. In other words, this
is a true software find right here. Tommy tell us
a couple of things. Since since you have one of these,
you just got a real time spectrum scope and wanted
to fall display which is uh will actually spoil you
once you get used to using it. You can see
(35:16):
the signals where the where the seam of the activity
is and touch it and its take you right there
to that frequency.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Very nice. You can change the span how much you
can see at one time, there's point and shoot pretty
much that easy. A large four point three inch color
touch green display and yeah, that's the same side of display.
That's unlike the Icy seventy three. I'm pretty sure. Size
very nice that wireless land, Bluetooth technologies. What can you
(35:47):
do with that? You can use a Bluetooth headset like
I did at field Day. I'm actually gonna do some
other Bluetooth stuff with pretty soon. It's also got wireless
land or so you get on the network, set the
time over the Internet, and connect to it remotely.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
GPS functions, and that can be handy for some of
the digital modes.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, d Stars got the DPRS, not not APRS, but DPRS.
If you use a repeater or your hotspot's enabled for that,
which mine is, and it'll you'll show up on the
APRS network. And it's got a micro O SD card slot.
What can you do with that? You can back up
(36:32):
your settings, restore your settings if you want to, like
sometimes I have different files online for different setups. And
you can also record your qusos if you want to
get a record of it. There's a automatically record. It's
very nice.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Good to have a micro USB connector, and of course
I assume that so you could program the radio boot.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah, you can hook it up and do digital modes
with it too, because they're ready. You'll show up as
a sound card to your computer. It also used to
charge the battery if you want to, so you can
hook it up to the computer when you're not transmitting,
it'll charge the battery. D Star functions my favorite, my
favorite digital mode, digital voice mode. Yeah. So I got
(37:20):
all the built in d star stuff. It's got the
U d Star repeater that uses the GPS, so you
can find the nearest d Star repeater to you. You
can get updates for that list off of d Star info.
You can also have nearest F repeaters with it as well,
so you have the FM and d Star repeaters. That's cool.
(37:44):
Programmable little speaker mic yep, a really nice little speaker mic.
This is not the little cheap speaker mics that you
used to see that you used to have in these things.
Has got some weight to it. You can see it's
a metal yeah on it's we're very very nice speaker
mic sounds really good on It got buttons on the
front that you can program what they did watch. I
(38:05):
haven't used that, but but it's capable of it. Very nice.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
I really liked the little speaker mic so you're saying
it's a compact radio and a rugged case for outdoor use.
It's small, lightweight, and it weighs less than two and
a half pounds. I would say exactly that. That's that's
what I thought you would say.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
In portable mode. What kind of power can you get
out of this? Uh, just off the battery. It's kind
of battery on the back of it, like the one
on the ID fifty one and fifty two Pan Hills.
Same yeah, handhelds, same battery, and you can get five
up to five watts out of it with that. But
if you hook up the coaxial power connector like you
(38:50):
have to the power supply here, you can get up
to ten watts out of it.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
With thirteen point eight little cool There's an optional backpack
you can get and you yeah, I've.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Actually got one. Yeah, very nice little backpack. The radio
fits in the top up here, open the right top,
other top, okay, not the bottom, top off. It's in there,
very nice and neat. You can operate from here. You
can run the I've got the microphone typed in so
I can pull it out, run the collax in, look
(39:21):
it up so you can stay in the backpack as
you use it.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, and at the q RP power level, is not
worried about it getting hot because it doesn't generate that much.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, it doesn't get very warm at all. A little
bit of a little bit of warm top of it
that much. What else you got in that bag? I got?
I got an under I should have really got this sound,
So everybody have to listen to the zipping.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Now the bag is optional. That's not part of the
package here. It's It's also got the AH.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Seven of five antenna tuner works off of a double
A batteries. It's a latching tuner so once it's once
it gets set, it's using batteries.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
The batteries super efficient. The same set of batteries I've
had in it. Well, actually I don't keep them in
it because batteries leaked nowadays. But I'm still carrying the
same set of batteries around since I got the batteries
are still fine.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Team of a wide range of it will I don't
have to range in front of me.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
And there's a variety of option in free software for
the PC iOS and Android devices.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Overall, if you want a portable radio, I don't I
don't know what.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Else you'd want to use. I mean, the thing is.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Really small and it's got everything in it that you're
going to see on most base stations. I've said it before,
I guess i'll say it again, but if I had
to go down to one radio, this would be the.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
One radio that I would get yump as. I could
put it into mobile, could use it at home. Is
it camping? You can hook up a rubber duck to it. Well,
if you won't, I've seen Walking Talkie's old school. It's
about that size.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
You know, you need the three D print of belt
clip for that, and that would look nice hanging off
your belt.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Well, you can put him right through here, wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
We're going to give away this Inteletron PS twenty two
thirty MLB, thirty APPS switching power supply, and it's also
got a twelve vault DC outlet on the front of it.
There where basically a cigarette lighter style plug that a
lot of things like your cell phone chargers will run
(41:40):
off of. It's compact, cutting edge switching supply, boasting high
efficiency and a compact, lightweight design. It's tailored to reduce noise,
particularly for communications any potential noise can be negated using
the noise offset control on the front there. That's I'm
not a variable voltage control, it's a noise offset control
(42:05):
that's also got eliminated in meters for enhancing overall usability.
You can read both a voltage and current with that meter.
Input voltage one hundred and ten volts AC sixty hertz.
Output voltage thirteen point eight volt DC, which is what
(42:26):
you want for radio output voltage regulation under two percent.
It's got short circuit protection, automatic current limiting up to
thirty apps. The maximum output current is thirty apps continuous
twenty apps, which is going to cover any of you
Hunter radios ripple below eighty milli volts peak to peak
(42:48):
at full load. It's got an eight amp fuse in it. Anyways,
about three and a half pounds, and this is courtesy
of gigaparts dot com. They sell these for ninety nine
dollars at least it was when I looked up the
price last month to their bouts therebouts probably still airs.
(43:11):
Got five way binding posts here on the rear, so
you can connect up practically anything to it. Great little
lightweight power supply. We've also got something else from the
Giga parks, because you know, even if you power the
thing up, that's not gonna get you on the air.
You're gonna need something else. You ain't need an antenna,
(43:33):
which we've got one right here. You can probably see
it laying on the edge to see Intel Tron PA
twenty one ninety nine s HF and VHF mobile antenna
covers eighty through six meters two hundred watt's gonna PEL
two fifty nine on the bottom so it fits a
lot of antenna mounts. Covers ten vans eighty forty thirty,
(43:56):
twenty seventeen fifteen twelve tens and two meters handles up
to two hundred watts. The maximum hype is forty nine
and a half inches. Sorry hard to show that part.
Built in machine PL two fifty nine connector. The PA
(44:17):
twenty nine nine is quick and easy way to go
mobile and stalling in minutes and covering eighty two meters
as we mentioned, without swapping resonators dealing with sensitive controllers.
Choose your band by using the unique tapping coil system
extors for just showing you and fine tune the whip
link for a minimum SVR is built tough but light
(44:38):
enough to insall on a wide range of lip truck, trunk,
lip trunk pipe and mag mounts.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
That's a tongue twister. You can also use it as
a portable antenna for MCom, PODA, marine or vacation travel
setups as well for portable counterpoys, use a wire that's
longer than the quarter wave length that's the op in
frequency and spread out on the ground, or attach a
Koax shield to any metallic structure such as a steel fence,
(45:07):
but a railand walkway. I'm going to buy one of
those before the specials over. Yep, we've got a discount
cut they will tell you about shortly. I'm gonna be
sure to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yeah, you don't want to get an a very nice
looking antenna. Those two products are Inteletron and in Teletron
is a new product line brought to you by our
friends at gigaparts dot com. They've got a variety of
products on there. It's more than just well, it's more
than just power supplies and antennas. They do have a
(45:43):
wide variety of antennas and power supplies and meters.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
And speak speakers. I bought one of the speakers when
I was in there.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
And the lines expanding. They keep adding new products to
the line, so good good products at a reasonable price.
Check them out and you know they offer us a
little something special here for the views of Amateur Logic.
(46:14):
You can say five percent on products from Intelltron, Explorer,
Romassi and Poloni by going to gigaparts dot com and
using the code am TV at checkout, and you'll say
an additional five percent.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Speaking of messy Poloni, Gigaparts is also kind of enough
to throw in the twenty five feet of.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
The Cox cable. That's some good looking co accident, it
really is.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
It's the same. I'm gonna buy some of this too.
It's in it's super light, it almost doesn't feel it
doesn't feel real, but still wiring there. But it's definitely
in there.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Same dimensions as RG fifty eight, but at fifty mega
hurts it's a tenuation. There's only three point sixty B
for one hundred meters, so it's lower loss than RG
fifty eighth For shirts, perfect for direct burial, Totally waterproof
thanks to the pe carbon black tearproof sheath that allows
(47:20):
different kinds of outdoor uses. It's very light weight, incredibly
light weight.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
Yeah, to the point it doesn't feel like there's any
wire in it. Yeah, although it is.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
It's a great advantage if you're doing things like d
expeditions and you're shipping your equipment around or you got
to carry it in a backpack.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna say, if you're gonna put any
little backpack like this, I'm going to add any weight
at all to that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
And it's only five millimeters in diameter. But Airborne five
is made of tough aluminum magnesium Alloyd braid, boasting us
a par to robustness and inviable resistance.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
I think, uh, is this some thingless steel a connector
on it? It looks like stainless steel. That connector, the
uh UHFBO two fifty nine is a solder mail connector
for easy installation. Solder instructions are included. Of course, this
(48:28):
one's already and stall on the cable. We're giving away
dramatic suppression of background noise. No braid soldering needed new
compression design with double seal to ensure better protection against
infiltration of water, humidity, and condensation. And that connector is
(48:49):
that's an excellent looking connector there. Nineteen milimeter fits it perfect. Yep.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
So if you need to tighten it up nineteen milimeter,
you don't have to use those plats and bow up
your connector if it gets you know, all their tights.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Nobody likes your connector buggered up. Nobody. It's a really
nice looking connector. Man, really quality buying some of this too.
We'll buy a twenty five foot piece to go with
my little intent. I'mon'n buying, So you're gonna be buying
one just like that, exactly like this, and then I'm
gonna buy that antenna too.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Yeap, cool on this antenna. Use it on a truck
lip mount or or any mount on your vehicle. That's
all you need. You should be able to tune it.
If you're gonna use it on a portable say tropod
or something like that, you just have a counterpourse to it. Yeah,
a little bit longer than a little bit longer, whatever
(49:47):
frequency you can operate on, whatever year lowest frequency will be.
And if if you and I can get a chance
before before we give this away, we ought to sneak
it out one day and do some experience.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Now, I took it out and checked it in. If
it's on my my mount on my truck, just fine,
it's not as it's not that heavy. It's not really
heavy at all. Yeah, and it didn't cause any like.
It was fine. I'm definitely gonna buy one of one
for the five percent coupon things. Well, that's not right, spot.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
But so let's talk a little bit more about the
contest here and how you could win. Of course, surprise
is going to be the icm ice, the seven oh five,

Speaker 2 (53:50):
On our show.
Speaker 1 (53:52):
Yeah, and let you know when the next show is
going to be. And if you wondering what we covered
in any particular episode, there's a way you can find
out that information.
Speaker 2 (54:05):
You can. We have this guy behind the scenes that
puts puts the show notes in there in the wiki.
It's amateurlogy dot tv Ford slash wiki. If somebody emails
us and asks, hey, what what episode was so and
so in Actually I had somebody do that. I asked
me about the hand clock stuff the other day, and
(54:25):
so I went to the wiki and looked it up
handclock and it came up right there with the answer.
So anyway, it's a good reference to go find anything
that we may have spoke about on the show previously,
well on either show, anything else you think we should
mentioned before we get out of here. Tonight. I don't
(54:46):
think so. I think I pretty much covered it. It's
a fun show. They always kind of are. I really
like doing these. Yeah, it's interesting to go back through
and see how much of the It's been a lot
of times as I took technician tests. It's always interested
to go and see how much of it I remember.
It seems like it's been a long time since we
(55:11):
didn't miss a question of technician exam. Well, we didn't
miss any night. Everybody got ye. I missed your question.
You did count against me. See, I was.
Speaker 1 (55:26):
Thinking about you when I took the first place. I
appreciate that because I thought for sure it was going
to be a setup when you said no, it wasn't.
I had no particular reason other than that just seemed
like we usually you take them first. I do it
this time around. We want you to join us right
here at Amaterologic dot TV on October the eighteenth. That'll
(55:51):
be the next episode. That's when we're going to be
giving away this price package here and it's our nineteenth anniversary.
We're not sure what else we're gonna be doing on
the next show, but we've got something a couple of
weeks to figure it out, Go ahead and get your
entry in. If you haven't gotten it in, please, matter
of fact, tell you other hand friends about it.
Speaker 2 (56:13):
Seven three. Everybody cannot do.
Speaker 1 (56:47):
Everybody's saying, be I'll agree with you.
Speaker 2 (56:52):
No, wait a minute, that can't be right. It's not
all right. I'm gonna have to choose that one.
See any country banned from such communications by the International
Amateur Radio Union. Now, I don't think the IARU bans countries.
If they did, it's probably a bad actor who wouldn't
listen to him anyway. So that's not going to be.
(00:23):
It be any country whose administration has notified the r
r L that it objects to such communications. No, it's
not going to be that because the ar r L
is not a regulatory agency. It's well, it's a private
amateur radio organization. Yeah, a any country whose administration has
(00:50):
notified the International Telecommunications Union the ITU that it objects
to such communications, that make sense.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It makes sense to me. Well, so yeah, I'm gonna
go with a hey, hey the chat room. What did
they say that? Many of them an just see one
seeing there? But nobody else answered, yeah, I see an
(01:19):
a in there. I think we'll see one now, yep, okay,
another coming district one in now. We must have been
talking too fast, but we're in Mississippi, man, we will
do that. I don't even know how to talk fast.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
No, that's there's something in a state constitution about that.
I think yep, I got one for you, all right.
I feel like this was a setup because she wanted
to take it first.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I was just I mean, I didn't really look to
see whatever they gonna all. All right, but if it
works out to be a, sup, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I'm sure you are. I won'der.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Which of the following circumstances are one way transmissions by
an amateur station prohibited A in all circumstances, B broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
C International Morse Code practice for D telecommand or transmission
of telemetry. When way transmissions, well, it's not. It's not
A because I know telecommand, transmission telemetry is perfectly fine.
(02:38):
Morse Code practice is fine too, So it's got to
be B broadcasting. So you don't get on there and
just like broadcast messages out to anybody that may happen
to be listening, and they're not expecting answer back or
trying to get an answer back.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, most people in there are saying B.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Well that's what I'm saying. I'm going to agree with
you just because that is the right answer. I think.
Then it is there. You go here, you need one
from the last one? Told you? Yeah, you did? You
want to give me next one for next one? If
you get ahead? Yeah, I don't know. We'll have to
(03:27):
see how it goes. When is it permissible to transmit
messages encoded to obscure their meaning? A Only during contests?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
B only when transmitting certain improved digital codes.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
See only when transmitting control commands to space stations or
radio control craft r D never.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
When is it permissible to transmit messages encoded to obscure
their meaning only during contest? Well, you know that that's
a chance.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That's probably not it. I don't think that's.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Contest purpose only when transmitting certain approved digital modes codes
now D never that's pretty close answer there. But actually
(04:28):
to accommodate technology, I'm gonna say it's see only when
transmitting control codes to space stations or radio control craft.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, you wouldn't want.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
To transmit commands to radio control crafts or space stations
out in the clear where everybody's.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Exactly So, yeah, it's it's the I can see that
happen to it and take five minutes for some money
at that stuff. You're right, makes sense? Uh, perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I under what condition does an amateur station authorized to
transmit music using a phone emission? A when in some
little to an authorized retransmission of a man's spacecraft communications,
B when the music produces no spurrious emissions, C when
transmissions are limited to less than three minutes per hour,
(05:34):
or D when the music is transmitted above one eighty Megorhertz, Well,
you can't sent You can't transit music into one point
two gigs either. Transmission limited to three minutes per hour,
that's not that's not it either. And spuryous emissions to
(05:58):
music doesn't matter. It's gonna be a incidental to an
authorized retransmission of manned spacecraft communications.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah. So I guess if somebody was jamming out up
there in the space station and it was in the background,
and you retransmitted the broadcast the the I guess that's okay. Yeah,
I'm interpreting that. I'm not sure that that's ever happened
or not. I don't know. I've never heard of it,
(06:31):
but I guess it's we did.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It was okay, it must come up at some point
and somebody addressed it. Yeah, everybody, even the cheap old
fellow in there, said I on this one right here,
I don't agree.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You are going to agree to say, yeah, me too. Well, yeah,
I'm agreeing with you. Okay. Well, I'll give it up.
When may amateur radio operators use their stations to notify
other amateurs of the availability of equipment for sale or
trade A.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Never B when the equipment is not the personal property
of either the station license C or the control operator
or their close relatives. C when no profit is made
on the sale. D when selling amateur radio equipment and
(07:34):
not on a regular basis. You know, you might think
it was A on one end of the scale, but
it's it's not. Well, I'm gonna say it's it's D
when selling amateur radio equipment and not on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I think it's C. You think it's C.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
When no profit is made on the celle You're not
really supposed to connect any business.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Money on the radio. No, Let's see, I don't know.
Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's that was not intentional. Okay,
but it just worked out that way. They're still staying
D in there. I see, mm hmmm. I guess that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, it didn't get counted against you since you asked
me that if you sell.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It it don't make a profit, but not on a
regular basis.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well, yeah, I mean that could work. But if you
did make a profit. That's that's okay, that's permitted, but
not on a regular basis. Yeah, you know there is
a Texas Traders Network. Have you ever heard that on
(08:56):
h HF. No, it's uh where people are selling amateur
radio equipment. And I hadn't listened to it in years
and years and never really listened to it that much.
But I'm just wondering now, or there's are there certain
people on there who who have Yeah, I don't know,
(09:17):
must not be, but yeah, you hear people trying to
or you know, I got such and such model radio
and I'm going to sell it, Well, what do you
take for it?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Well, I'll take fifty bucks for it. Yeah, I guess
I've heard that. It's been a while for Yeah, but
it never crossed my mind to get on there for that.
I would.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Listen somewhere else. I don't ever recall. Yeah, I don't
ever recall selling anything over the air. But apparently it's
legal as long as it's not regular. How would you
enforce a no profit rule? I was thinking the same thing.
(10:07):
How would you know if somebody made a profit or not.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, it'd be tough, I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, what if any are other restrictions concerning transmission of
language that may be considered indecent or obscene. A. The
SEC maintains a list of words that are not permitted
to be used on amateur frequencies.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Be any such language is prohibited. C.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
The ITU maintains a lester of words that are not
permitted to be used on amateur frequencies.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Or D there is no such prohibition prohibition. I guess
i'd say, you say that, yeah, And I'm gonna say
the answer for this one is, any such language is prohibited.
I don't think anybody's going to maintain a list of words,
because nobody but George Carlin did that. But I know why, Well,
(11:01):
that's true, he did, and he did a good job
of that too. Well he's famous for it. Yeah, yeah,
other things, but we can't talk about it on the air.
But I'm thinking it's gonna be that U B B. Yeah.
I guess I didn't beat around the bush too much,
but that's pretty much it. Yeah, absolutely nothing. If it's
(11:23):
if it's questionable, if it even kind of seems like
it's kind of not right, and especially not to say
it on the air.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, but not everybody pays attention to that role.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
But yeah, I have to What do you say we
take a break? Sounds like a good idea.

(14:39):
three of Amateurlogic. Boy, that was what nineteen years ago?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Almost? That just that just kind of blows my mind.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Nineteen years yep, a long time. We're celebrating that too.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Next, I'm going to get some cool stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, we've got a few things here on the table
that we're going to be giving away, and we'll talk
about that later on. We got more questions before that, but.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We got some most stub to give away before that.
Why don't we do that? Now? Hey, how about one
of these cool T shirts you can give away? You
know that would be a good idea. Let me just
say some I comm handcrew T shirts. Yes, same thing
on the front as it does on the back, so
we can leave in a hand fescial look just as
good as you did when you showed up.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
If you'd like to win one of those, there's an
easy way to do that. All you got to do
is send an email to Ham College at amateurlogic dot
tv and.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Just that's it.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You can put a massage in there, send you. Yeah,
you can send you a name and the winner is
going to be Jim McDonald. Awesome, k I seven Z
A X young regulations, Jim. Jim says, please enter me
in the monthly contest for the Icon product. Well, it's
(16:09):
I don't know if that's a product, but it's a
shirt during a shirt. I don't know that they sell them,
but you could win one. They may sell them, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Like he just did win one.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
He did just win one, and whatever else may show
up with it. And he's in Bellingham, Washington, so he's
not far from Icon. Oh yeah, so congratulations Jim. If
you'd like to win, just send us an email Ham
College at Amateur Logic dot tv. You could put a
message in there like Jim did. Just a one liner
(16:43):
be fine. You could write a paragraph that would be
fine too, all right. You could just say well, we
don't want any like they were saying earlier, any of
that in decent europe scene language. But you know we
don't we don't usually receive that, now that I've said this,
(17:10):
so yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Get your name into the queue. Nigel knows about the queues.
They love the queues in England, that's what they call lines.
When you get in the line, they call it the queue. Okay,
what type of amateur stations can automatically retransmit the signals
of other amateur stations? A auxiliary beacon or Earth stations,
D Earth repeater or space stations. C beacon repeater or
(17:37):
space stations.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
D repeater, auxiliary or space stations. What type of amateur
stations can automatically retransmit the signals of other amateur stations?
All those three times real fast? Yeah, let's the auxiliary
beacon or earth Well. No, a beacon is just like
sending out a call sign or something repeatedly. It's not
(18:02):
automatically retransmitting anything. So that'll rule out a for sure,
be automatically retransmit Earth repeater or space stations. I mean,
that would pretty much cover everything, wouldn't it. Uh huh said, No,
that's I don't think that's it. See beacon, repeater or
(18:25):
space stations. Yeah, there again, it's got beacon in there.
I don't know that you can retransmit a beacon because
you're not the beacon. Somebody else is the beacon. If
you to retransmitted them, then that would be false because
you're in different location somebody else's beacon. I won't say
(18:48):
it's de Repeter auxiliary or space stations.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I think that's probably right. That's as close as I
can come. Nookie reading that as bacon can. Yeah, have
you Okay? There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You should eat before you go take your exam.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well you could.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
You could miss this, and they're saying D in the
chat room. Dean Martin agrees, I think I got a
good chance on this one.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Well, I'm not the benchmark on this stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Though, Well, yeah, sometimes you are sometimes yeah. And which
of the following circumstances may the control operator of an
amateur station receive compensation for operating that station? A When
(19:46):
the communication is related to the cell of amateur equipment
by the control operator's employer.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
B when the communication is incidental to class remonstruction at
an educational inst institution, say, when the communication is made
to obtain emergency information for a local broadcast station or D.
All these choices are correct, which of the following circumstances
(20:14):
made the control operator of an amateur station received compensation.
It's definitely not gonna be D because that's kind of
a no no. When communications may debtain where you see
information for a local broadcast station. That still wouldn't be
something you would could get paid for now. B. When
(20:38):
the communication is incidental to a classroom instruction as an
educational institution. I think that's probably gonna be it. But
let's look at A to be sure. When communications related
to the sale. Now, you can't pay somebody able to
get on there and sell your gear, so it's gonna
be B. I'm pretty sure that's gonna be it. When
(20:59):
the communication is incidental to classroom instruction and educational institution,
so the teacher it's getting the normal salary, I'm sure.
So they're teaching radio stuff, I guess, And that's not
what that means.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So if you are just happened to be a professor
or dane of suitent affairs, you really reaching here. Well
I've been saving that up all the way, Okay, okay,
go for it, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, so I don't want to agree with you if
it's B chat room. Yeah, they're all saying. B. When
may I AM your sessions transmit information in support of broadcasting,
program production, or news gathering, assuming no other means is available.
(22:04):
A When communications are directly related to the immediate safety
of human life or protection of property. The when broadcasting
communications two are from the space they do that again?
Is there a space shuttle anymore? No, there's a space station,
So why.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
They didn't update this question? The when broadcasting communications too
are from the space shuttle. See where non commercial programming
is gathered and supplied exclusively to the National Public Radio
Network D never.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Is find the answer yep, when amateur stations, there's many informations.
Are broadcasting protection news gathering when such communications are directly
related to the immediate safety of human life? Well, that's good,
(23:11):
it's not gonna be D because I think it's a Well,
let's look back at them. Where non commercial programming is
gathered exclusively to the National Flu Race the MPR. MPR
doesn't have the exclusivity on it when broadcasting communications to
it from the space show, it's gonna be a When
(23:33):
communications are directly related to the immediate safety of human
life or protection of property, that's pretty much everything's off
the table when it comes to that. Yeah, so that's
going with A and everyone in the CHATTERIM agree. There
(23:53):
you go?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That was you know, that would be pretty easy to
reason out there out of all of those. Yeah, yeah, sure,
especially since there is no space shuttle anymore. That was
pretty much rules that one out. Yeah, and exclusively. It's
a national public radio network now R Yeah, I mean
(24:17):
what do you don't you think the commercial broadcasters would
lobby real heavily on that. But yeah, it's a and
that makes sense. I mean when it comes to safety,
human lives, and protection of property, that trump's just about
everything else.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Fist bump goad A reminder there, thanks Tom. How does
the FCC define broadcasting for the Amateur Radio Service A
two ay transmissions by amateur stations, B any transmission made
by the license station, C transmission messages directed only to
(24:57):
amateur operators. R D transmissions intended for reception by the
general public. Oh yeah, that's pretty easy one there.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
How is the SEC to find broadcasting for the Amateur
Radio Service? Broadcasting is one way? Transmission is not two ways,
so it can't be a any transmission made by the
license station. Now, if that was the case, in we
(25:30):
all be broadcastings. Yeah, let me think of a commercially
U C transmissions of messages directed only to amateur operators.
Now it's D transmissions intended for reception by the general public.
(25:52):
I concur Yeah, which we're not supposed to do that.
Everybody in the chat room, so we're not supposed to Yep,
it is all right. When may an outra station transmit
without identifying on the air, A, when the transmissions are
(26:13):
of a brief nature to make station adjustments. B when
the transmissions are unmodulated, C, when the transmitted power level
is below one WAT or D when transmitting signals control
model craft.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I just kind of happened to know this one because
this is kind of one of my hobbies. It's gonna
be D when transmitting signals control model craft. Although well,
let's see if I'm right first, and then i'll give
the all though I'm pretty sure that's right according to
the chat room. You're right. Okay. So although the like
(26:55):
on a drone, there's a telemetry that comes back from
the drone, you have a way there's a that you
can put in there. You're actually supposed to put your
call sign in there. Years back to you, do you
have a drone call sign?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Would you put your amateur radio cross sign in it?
Because some of them for certain power are you supposed
to have a license? Ah?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Okay, yeah, I'm thinking this question probably came about our
rule came about a long time ago, because today modern
craft probably have the capability of including a call sign
or identification real easy technically, you know, the hardware is
(27:42):
there that wouldn't be hard to do. But in days
gone past, Yeah, you know, you may not have had
that capability to do it. If you wanted to, you
should study along with us right here on Ham College.
We're going to cover all the questions, but if you'd
like to do some outside seat, there.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Are text available. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
You can also do practice tests online at places like
Hamstudy dot org. A number of different places on there
that offer your question and answer pools online. I did
quite a number of those before I went to take mine.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You can buy books. This one right here is the
A r r L. Ham Radio License Manual, fifth edition.
This is a good little thick book here, spiral bound.
It covers more than just some questions. It's got some
background and different explanations, different model theory and such. You
(28:45):
can also get from the a r r L. Gordon
West Amateur Radio Study Guides. Those are also excellent. And
you you study that, you have pretty much kind of pass.
Different ways you can study there. We encourage you or
if you've already got your license, we encourage you to
(29:07):
encourage someone else get there am a radio ticket. It
can be handy and a lot of different occasions, just
just for the fun out of it, which is kind
of what we did.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I've had I've got three people at my job license. Really, yeah,
I haven't got anybody at my job. Longing you're slacking man,
Well I know.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I did get one guy license. Actually I got two licensed.
The that was in a previous job. Then I got
my son licensed. So yeah, it's a tisco here.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Well that's a good one if you got your son license,
because I haven't gotten I'm pretty much defeated by that one.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
We've got some stuff to give away here, so I
think it's only appropriate.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
We're not going to give it away tonight. We're going
to talk about it, give people a chance to get
their name into think might win it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yep, we are going to talk about it. If you'll
stand by for one moment, we'll be right back around
the fifteenth of each month. It's amateur Radio's original, at
the longest running video podcasts, Amateur Logic TV, with hosts
George Thomas Tommy Martin emailed the odinate and Mike Mooreno, roughly,
(30:22):
here's what I have. The bottom trace here is ground.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well the elenent so jiggle suns. They're actually not too bad.
It's light. After putting it together out decided to test everything.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
So I ran in twelve volts and I'm measuring the
output here.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Now, Jan it was yesterday. We're in the antenna switching matrix.
Any one of our six broadcast transmitters could be connected
to any of the twenty two antennas. Personally, I'm so
thrilled that George got the special award, well deserved. My friend,
that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
What about the Super Bowl email?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Did you go to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Were you at home operating that night?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Tune in my amplifier and I lost power in the
shack and went outside the house lost power. The whole
neighborhood went out for about thirty minutes. I don't know
what happened. Oh, so that explains a lot. Now we
can take this and put it over inside our box.
It's flush to the bottom. If we were to rotate,
we can see that thing goes all the way through,
so we'll have a hole in the bottom. What ammunition
(31:23):
do you use?
Speaker 4 (31:23):
In there.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Actually, you can use black powder, you can use WD forty,
you can use you know, anything combustible. You just have
to use the rate quantity. And we assume no responsibility
for mishaps.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Here's what it looks like after I've got them all
soldered together and he ranked up. Okay, let's give it
a try and see how it worked out. So there
you have it, the hula loop. No, you can't mill
out the dogs parking. I have two thin film tiller
cells to run those looks like a little mini weather satellite. Actually,
(31:57):
and I'm using a guitar string for the antennis. I
particularly liked that last one there, twenty nine ninety nine.
You can get a fifty foot garden hose extension cord compo.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Do not get cord wet. Now.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Most of these j poles are built with metal elements
or toothing. The reason I chose wire for this one
is the length of this particular one. So I wanted
to hang it from the tree so I can hoist
it up there.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, no, fishing well, we couldn't find the real is that?
What that is? All right?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Tommy sing the theme song here, it's.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
The last show. Whatever. We decided to shut her down.
I'm just gonna bottle on now. Just let it go,
just let her out.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Well, you know, amateur logic our parents show here, has
it started in what year?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Two thousand and five? Yep? Katrina here? Yep?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Right after, well, portions of it were shot before, portions
after right around the town Hurricane Katrina years ago, nineteen
years ago, to be precise. And we're celebrating next month.
We're gonna give away a great price package here a
variety of auems icon I see seven o five, an
(33:28):
Intelltron power supply from Gigaparts also and Intellatron antenna and
Massi and Poloni or Paoloni how do you pronounce it
coaxial cable. We're gonna talk a little more about these items. First,
the Ice seven o five. We actually know someone who
(33:50):
has one of these rigs. He's got it all backed
up and ready to go. That's Tommy's right. It's the
IC seven oh five HF six meter two meter and
four forty megahertz multi mode portable trends, fever base station
performance and features in the pomme you hand, whether you've
(34:13):
taken your hobby to a soda PODA or some other
on the air location. The IC seven oh five will
be your go to rig from HF to fifty one
forty four four to forty megahertz. You can enjoy a
variety of bands in the d STAR, DV single side band, CW,
(34:33):
riddy AM and FM modes. The IC seven oh five
receives continuously from thirty megahertz through one hundred and forty
four megahertz band, and you can also enjoy FM broadcast
and air band receptions and the IC seven oh five
employees and r F Direct Sampling system where RF signals
(34:54):
are directly converted to digital radio. In other words, this
is a true software find right here. Tommy tell us
a couple of things. Since since you have one of these,
you just got a real time spectrum scope and wanted
to fall display which is uh will actually spoil you
once you get used to using it. You can see
(35:16):
the signals where the where the seam of the activity
is and touch it and its take you right there
to that frequency.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Very nice. You can change the span how much you
can see at one time, there's point and shoot pretty
much that easy. A large four point three inch color
touch green display and yeah, that's the same side of display.
That's unlike the Icy seventy three. I'm pretty sure. Size
very nice that wireless land, Bluetooth technologies. What can you
(35:47):
do with that? You can use a Bluetooth headset like
I did at field Day. I'm actually gonna do some
other Bluetooth stuff with pretty soon. It's also got wireless
land or so you get on the network, set the
time over the Internet, and connect to it remotely.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
GPS functions, and that can be handy for some of
the digital modes.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, d Stars got the DPRS, not not APRS, but DPRS.
If you use a repeater or your hotspot's enabled for that,
which mine is, and it'll you'll show up on the
APRS network. And it's got a micro O SD card slot.
What can you do with that? You can back up
(36:32):
your settings, restore your settings if you want to, like
sometimes I have different files online for different setups. And
you can also record your qusos if you want to
get a record of it. There's a automatically record. It's
very nice.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Good to have a micro USB connector, and of course
I assume that so you could program the radio boot.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah, you can hook it up and do digital modes
with it too, because they're ready. You'll show up as
a sound card to your computer. It also used to
charge the battery if you want to, so you can
hook it up to the computer when you're not transmitting,
it'll charge the battery. D Star functions my favorite, my
favorite digital mode, digital voice mode. Yeah. So I got
(37:20):
all the built in d star stuff. It's got the
U d Star repeater that uses the GPS, so you
can find the nearest d Star repeater to you. You
can get updates for that list off of d Star info.
You can also have nearest F repeaters with it as well,
so you have the FM and d Star repeaters. That's cool.
(37:44):
Programmable little speaker mic yep, a really nice little speaker mic.
This is not the little cheap speaker mics that you
used to see that you used to have in these things.
Has got some weight to it. You can see it's
a metal yeah on it's we're very very nice speaker
mic sounds really good on It got buttons on the
front that you can program what they did watch. I
(38:05):
haven't used that, but but it's capable of it. Very nice.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
I really liked the little speaker mic so you're saying
it's a compact radio and a rugged case for outdoor use.
It's small, lightweight, and it weighs less than two and
a half pounds. I would say exactly that. That's that's
what I thought you would say.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
In portable mode. What kind of power can you get
out of this? Uh, just off the battery. It's kind
of battery on the back of it, like the one
on the ID fifty one and fifty two Pan Hills.
Same yeah, handhelds, same battery, and you can get five
up to five watts out of it with that. But
if you hook up the coaxial power connector like you
(38:50):
have to the power supply here, you can get up
to ten watts out of it.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
With thirteen point eight little cool There's an optional backpack
you can get and you yeah, I've.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Actually got one. Yeah, very nice little backpack. The radio
fits in the top up here, open the right top,
other top, okay, not the bottom, top off. It's in there,
very nice and neat. You can operate from here. You
can run the I've got the microphone typed in so
I can pull it out, run the collax in, look
(39:21):
it up so you can stay in the backpack as
you use it.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, and at the q RP power level, is not
worried about it getting hot because it doesn't generate that much.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, it doesn't get very warm at all. A little
bit of a little bit of warm top of it
that much. What else you got in that bag? I got?
I got an under I should have really got this sound,
So everybody have to listen to the zipping.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Now the bag is optional. That's not part of the
package here. It's It's also got the AH.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Seven of five antenna tuner works off of a double
A batteries. It's a latching tuner so once it's once
it gets set, it's using batteries.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
The batteries super efficient. The same set of batteries I've
had in it. Well, actually I don't keep them in
it because batteries leaked nowadays. But I'm still carrying the
same set of batteries around since I got the batteries
are still fine.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Team of a wide range of it will I don't
have to range in front of me.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
And there's a variety of option in free software for
the PC iOS and Android devices.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Overall, if you want a portable radio, I don't I
don't know what.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Else you'd want to use. I mean, the thing is.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Really small and it's got everything in it that you're
going to see on most base stations. I've said it before,
I guess i'll say it again, but if I had
to go down to one radio, this would be the.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
One radio that I would get yump as. I could
put it into mobile, could use it at home. Is
it camping? You can hook up a rubber duck to it. Well,
if you won't, I've seen Walking Talkie's old school. It's
about that size.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
You know, you need the three D print of belt
clip for that, and that would look nice hanging off
your belt.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Well, you can put him right through here, wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
We're going to give away this Inteletron PS twenty two
thirty MLB, thirty APPS switching power supply, and it's also
got a twelve vault DC outlet on the front of it.
There where basically a cigarette lighter style plug that a
lot of things like your cell phone chargers will run
(41:40):
off of. It's compact, cutting edge switching supply, boasting high
efficiency and a compact, lightweight design. It's tailored to reduce noise,
particularly for communications any potential noise can be negated using
the noise offset control on the front there. That's I'm
not a variable voltage control, it's a noise offset control
(42:05):
that's also got eliminated in meters for enhancing overall usability.
You can read both a voltage and current with that meter.
Input voltage one hundred and ten volts AC sixty hertz.
Output voltage thirteen point eight volt DC, which is what
(42:26):
you want for radio output voltage regulation under two percent.
It's got short circuit protection, automatic current limiting up to
thirty apps. The maximum output current is thirty apps continuous
twenty apps, which is going to cover any of you
Hunter radios ripple below eighty milli volts peak to peak
(42:48):
at full load. It's got an eight amp fuse in it. Anyways,
about three and a half pounds, and this is courtesy
of gigaparts dot com. They sell these for ninety nine
dollars at least it was when I looked up the
price last month to their bouts therebouts probably still airs.
(43:11):
Got five way binding posts here on the rear, so
you can connect up practically anything to it. Great little
lightweight power supply. We've also got something else from the
Giga parks, because you know, even if you power the
thing up, that's not gonna get you on the air.
You're gonna need something else. You ain't need an antenna,
(43:33):
which we've got one right here. You can probably see
it laying on the edge to see Intel Tron PA
twenty one ninety nine s HF and VHF mobile antenna

lot of antenna mounts. Covers ten vans eighty forty thirty,

to two hundred watts. The maximum hype is forty nine
and a half inches. Sorry hard to show that part.
Built in machine PL two fifty nine connector. The PA

twenty nine nine is quick and easy way to go
mobile and stalling in minutes and covering eighty two meters

Choose your band by using the unique tapping coil system

(44:38):
enough to insall on a wide range of lip truck, trunk,
lip trunk pipe and mag mounts.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
That's a tongue twister. You can also use it as
a portable antenna for MCom, PODA, marine or vacation travel
setups as well for portable counterpoys, use a wire that's
longer than the quarter wave length that's the op in
frequency and spread out on the ground, or attach a
Koax shield to any metallic structure such as a steel fence,
(45:07):
but a railand walkway. I'm going to buy one of
those before the specials over. Yep, we've got a discount
cut they will tell you about shortly. I'm gonna be
sure to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yeah, you don't want to get an a very nice
looking antenna. Those two products are Inteletron and in Teletron
is a new product line brought to you by our
friends at gigaparts dot com. They've got a variety of
products on there. It's more than just well, it's more
than just power supplies and antennas. They do have a
(45:43):
wide variety of antennas and power supplies and meters.

I was in there.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
And the lines expanding. They keep adding new products to
the line, so good good products at a reasonable price.

little something special here for the views of Amateur Logic.
(46:14):

Romassi and Poloni by going to gigaparts dot com and
using the code am TV at checkout, and you'll say
an additional five percent.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Speaking of messy Poloni, Gigaparts is also kind of enough
to throw in the twenty five feet of.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
The Cox cable. That's some good looking co accident, it
really is.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
It's the same. I'm gonna buy some of this too.
It's in it's super light, it almost doesn't feel it
doesn't feel real, but still wiring there. But it's definitely
in there.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Same dimensions as RG fifty eight, but at fifty mega
hurts it's a tenuation. There's only three point sixty B
for one hundred meters, so it's lower loss than RG
fifty eighth For shirts, perfect for direct burial, Totally waterproof
thanks to the pe carbon black tearproof sheath that allows
(47:20):
different kinds of outdoor uses. It's very light weight, incredibly
light weight.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
Yeah, to the point it doesn't feel like there's any
wire in it. Yeah, although it is.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
It's a great advantage if you're doing things like d
expeditions and you're shipping your equipment around or you got
to carry it in a backpack.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna say, if you're gonna put any
little backpack like this, I'm going to add any weight
at all to that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
And it's only five millimeters in diameter. But Airborne five
is made of tough aluminum magnesium Alloyd braid, boasting us
a par to robustness and inviable resistance.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
I think, uh, is this some thingless steel a connector
on it? It looks like stainless steel. That connector, the
uh UHFBO two fifty nine is a solder mail connector
for easy installation. Solder instructions are included. Of course, this
(48:28):
one's already and stall on the cable. We're giving away
dramatic suppression of background noise. No braid soldering needed new
compression design with double seal to ensure better protection against
infiltration of water, humidity, and condensation. And that connector is
(48:49):
that's an excellent looking connector there. Nineteen milimeter fits it perfect. Yep.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
So if you need to tighten it up nineteen milimeter,
you don't have to use those plats and bow up
your connector if it gets you know, all their tights.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Nobody likes your connector buggered up. Nobody. It's a really
nice looking connector. Man, really quality buying some of this too.
We'll buy a twenty five foot piece to go with
my little intent. I'mon'n buying, So you're gonna be buying
one just like that, exactly like this, and then I'm
gonna buy that antenna too.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Yeap, cool on this antenna. Use it on a truck
lip mount or or any mount on your vehicle. That's
all you need. You should be able to tune it.
If you're gonna use it on a portable say tropod
or something like that, you just have a counterpourse to it. Yeah,
a little bit longer than a little bit longer, whatever
(49:47):
frequency you can operate on, whatever year lowest frequency will be.
And if if you and I can get a chance
before before we give this away, we ought to sneak
it out one day and do some experience.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Now, I took it out and checked it in. If
it's on my my mount on my truck, just fine,
it's not as it's not that heavy. It's not really
heavy at all. Yeah, and it didn't cause any like.
It was fine. I'm definitely gonna buy one of one
for the five percent coupon things. Well, that's not right, spot.
