Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, anytime we're doing a show, we've got chat
from going on at the same time, it's on the
YouTube chat These days, you're in cursed if you're watching
live to join in there. What do we talk about
last month? Last month we talked about licensing classes, sequential
(00:21):
and vanity call sign systems, places where amateur radio services
regulated by the FCC, names and addresses on FCC database,
term renewal, Oh, term and renewal. How about that, My
memory is just boggy. That's not what it used to be.
A grace period, maintaining mailing addresses, international communications, and early
(00:45):
radio receivers. And that was a pretty full show, that was.
And of course we're studying for the Technician class exam.
Now this month we're going to be studying and authorized
and prohibited transmissions, communications with other countries, music, exchange of
information with other services in decent language, compensation for operating,
(01:07):
retransmission of other amateur signals, encryption, cell of equipment, unidentified transmissions,
and one way transmission. It sounds like this was going
to be a pretty full one as well. Yep, sounds
like it's going to be mostly rule stuff. Well, why
don't you ask me the first one no particular reasons.
(01:27):
Let me see if I can find them, Okay, with
which countries are FCC licensed amateur radio stations prohibited from
exchanging communications? A Any country whose administration has notified the
International Touch Communications Union for the ITU that it objects
to such communications. B Any country whose administrators have notified
(01:50):
the American Radio Relay League a RRL that it objects
to such communications. See any country banned from such communications
by the International Amateur Radio Union the I A r U.
Or D any country ban from making such communications by
the American Radio Relay League a r r L. Well,
(02:16):
let listen, that's kind of wishful thinking. If other countries
are going to be uh if the A r r
L is going to be able to ban them. Now
that that's only an American organization. The question again is
which with which countries are SEC licensed amateur radio stations
(02:38):
prohibited from exchanging communications? See any country ban from such
communications by the International Amateur Radio Union. Now, I don't
think the I A r U banns countries. If they did,
(02:58):
it's probably a bad actor who wouldn't listen to him anyway,
So that's not going to be It be any country
whose administration has notified the r r L that it
objects to such communications. Not it's not going to be
that because the ar r L is not a regulatory agency.
(03:19):
It's well, it's a private amateur radio organization. Yeah. Ay,
any country whose administration has notified the International Telecommunications Union
the ITU that it objects to such communication, does that
make sense? It makes sense to me as well. So yeah,
(03:44):
I'm gonna go with a Hey, hey, the chat room.
What did they say.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Many of them to see one see in there? But
nobody else answered yeah, I see an a in there? A.
I think let's see one now? Yeah, okay, another, come
district one in now. We must have been talking too fast,
but we're in Mississippi. Man, we don't do that. I
(04:15):
don't even know how to talk fast. No, that's there's
something in a state constitution about that. I think. Yeah,
I got one for you, all right. I feel like
this was a setup because you wanted to take it.
It wasn't. I was just that. I mean I didn't
really look to see whatever they want to follow, all right,
But if it works out to be a set up,
(04:36):
I'm okay with that. I'm sure you are. I wonder
which of the following circumstances are one way transmissions by
an amateur station prohibited A in all circumstances, B broadcasting,
C international Morse code practice or D to the command
(05:00):
or transmission of telemetry when way transmissions, Well it's not
A because I know telecommanded transmission telemetry is perfectly fine.
More scope practice is fine too. So it's got to
(05:22):
be be 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. Yeah, most people in
there are saying, B. Well that's what I'm saying. I'm
(05:48):
gonna 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 go to give me the next one
for next one to get ahead? Yeah, I don't know.
We'll have to see how it goes. When is it
(06:10):
permissible to transmit messages encoded to obscure their meaning. A
Only during contests, B only when transmitting certain improved digital codes.
See only when transmitting control commands to space stations. Or
radio control craft r D never. When is it permissible
(06:33):
to transmit messages encoded to obscure their meaning only during contest? Well,
you know that that's a chance. That's probably not it.
I don't think to feast the whole contest purpose only
when transmitting certain approved digital modes codes now D never
(07:03):
that's pretty close answer there. But actually to accommodate technology,
I'm gonna say it's c only when transmitted control codes
to space stations or radio control crafts. Yeah, you wouldn't
want to transmit commands to radio control crafts or space
(07:30):
stations out in the clear where everybody's exactly So, yeah,
it's it's the I could see that happen too. It
take five minutes for someonny and that stuff. You're right,
makes sense, perfect sense. I Under what condition does an
(07:51):
amateur station authorized to transmit music using a phone emission
A went in so little to an author lives retransmission
of a man's spacecraft communications B when the music produces
no spurriys emissions, C when transmissions are limited to less
(08:12):
than three minutes per hour, or D when the music
is transmitted above one eighty megahertz. Well, you can't sent.
You can't trans music into one point two gigs either,
transmission limited to three minutes per hour. That's not that's
(08:35):
not it either, and spuryous emissions and music doesn't matter.
It's gonna be a incidental to an authorized retransmission of
man spacecraft communications.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
So I guess if somebody was jamming out up there
in the space station and it's in the background, and
you retransmitted the broadcast the quative, I guess that's okay. Yeah,
I couldn't. I'm in that. I'm not sure that that's
ever happened or not. I don't know. I've never heard
(09:10):
of it, but I guess it's we did. 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 A
on this one right here. I don't agree. You are
(09:33):
going to agree? You say, yeah, yes, me too. Oh 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,
(09:54):
A never B when the equipment is not the personal
property of it Either the station licensee or the control
operator or they're close relatives. C when no profit is
made on the sale. D when selling amateur radio equipment
(10:15):
and not on a regular basis. Yeah, 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. I don't think it's C. You think it's
(10:36):
C when no profit is made on the sale. You're
not really supposed to connect any business to make money
on it on the radio. No, No, we'll see. I
don't know. Let's see. Let's see, let's see. Let's that
was not intentional. Okay, it just worked out that way.
They're still saying D in there. I don't think it's C.
(11:00):
M h, I get that wrong. Well, it didn't get
counted against you since you ask me that sell it
it don't make a profit, but not on a regular basis. Well, yeah,
I mean that could work. But if you did make
(11:21):
a profit, that's that's okay. That's permitted, but not not
on a regular basis. Yeah, you know there's a Texas
trader's network. Have you ever heard that on Jeff, No,
it's uh where people are selling amateur radio equipment, and
(11:45):
I hadn't listened to it in years and years and
never really listened to it, not much. But I'm just
wondering now or there's are there certain people on there
who who have Yeah, I don't know, must not be,
but yeah, you hear people trying to or you know,
(12:06):
I got such and such model radio and I'm going
to sell it. Well, what do you take for it? 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 listen somewhere else. I don't ever recall. Yeah,
(12:32):
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. How would you know if somebody made
a profit of or not? Yeah, it'd be tough, I guess. Yeah.
(12:54):
What if any or other restrictions concerning transmission of language
that may be considered indecent or obscene A The SEC
maintains a lester of words that are not permitted to
be used on amateur frequencies, be any such language is prohibited,
C the I TU maintains a lester of words that
(13:17):
are not permitted to be used on amateur frequencies, or
D there is no such prohibit prohibition. I guess that's
how 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,
(13:39):
because nobody but George Carlin did that that I know why.
That's true. He did it, and he did a good
job of that too. Well he's samless for it. Yeah, yeah,
other things, but we can't talk about it on the air. Yep.
But I'm thinking it's gonna be that uh b b. Yeah,
I guess I didn't be around the bush too much.
(14:00):
But that's pretty much it. Yeah, absolutely nothing. If it's
if it's questionable, if it even kind of seems like
it's kind of not right, then especially it's not to
say it on the air. Yeah. Not everybody pays attention
to that role, but yeah, I have to. What do
(14:27):
you say we take a breaks A good idea keep
your competitive contesting edge with icon Icon top power Base
stations cut through polyps, letting you work the bends and
record those contacts contests from the comfort of your home
or remotely with the RSBA one out heard it, worked it,
logged it, I come, heard the call and answered. The
(14:50):
ICPW two is here. Take your contesting experience to the
next level with Icon's industry first linear amplifier, which includes
deep digital predistortion and a built in two by six
automatic antennis elector for s O two R single operator
two radio operation. With the IC seventy six y ten,
(15:12):
think signals are no longer challenging for d xers and contesters.
This high performance SDR radio change the world's definition of
an SDR transceiver. This high powered based station features an
RF direct sampling system one hundred and ten dB r
MDR that can pick out the faintest of signals even
in the presence of stronger adjacent signals, an independent duel receiver,
(15:37):
dual digifel, and more. This is the SDR every Ham wants.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Episode three of Amateurlogic Boy. That was what nineteen years ago? Almost?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
That?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
That just kind of blows my mind. Nineteen years yep,
a long time. We're celebrating that too. Next, I'm going
to get some cool stuff. Yeah, we've got a few
things here on the table that we're going to be
given away, and we'll talk about that later on. We
(17:52):
got more questions before that, but we got some most
stup to give away before that, Dan, why don't we
do that now? I got 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 icon Handcrew T shirts. Yes, same thing on the
front as it does on the back. So when you
leave in a ham Fisher, look just as good as
(18:13):
you did when you showed up. 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 Amateur Logic dot tv and just that's it.
You can put a massage in there. Send you Yeah,
you can send your name and the winner is going
(18:33):
to be Jim McDonald. Awesome. K I seven Z A
X your resultions, Jim, Jim says, please enter me in
the monthly contest for the icon product. Well, it's I
don't know if that's a product, but it's a shirt
(18:55):
during anice shirt. I don't know that they sell them,
but you could win one. They may sell them, I
don't know. Like he just did win one. 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
my common Yeah, so congratulations, Jim. If you'd like to win,
(19:17):
just send us an email Ham College at amateurlogic dot tv.
You could put a message in there like Jim did.
Just a one liner 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.
(19:41):
But you know we don't. We don't usually receive that.
Now that I've said this thought, so yeah, get your
name into the que Nigel knows about the queues. They
love the queues in England. That's what they call lines.
When you're getting a line, you call it the queue. Okay,
(20:03):
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
space stations, D repeater auxiliary or space stations. What type
(20:26):
of amateur stations can automatically retransmit the signals of other
amateur stations? All those three times real fast? Yeah, let's
see auxiliary beacon or earth Well, No, a beacon is
just like sending out a call sign or something repeatedly.
It's not automatically retransmitting anything, so that'll reuly out a
(20:47):
for sure. B automatically retransmit Earth repeater or space stations.
I mean that would pretty much cover everything, wouldn't it.
Uh huh? I said, No, that's I don't think that's it.
See beacon repeater or space stations. Yeah, there again, it's
(21:11):
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 a different location somebody
else's beacon. I won't say it's deve or Peter auxiliary
(21:32):
or space stations. I think that's probably right. That's close
as I can come. Nook, you're reading that as bacon bacon? Yeah,
have you had something yet? Okay, there you go. You
should eat before you go take your exam. But you
(21:52):
could you could miss this, and they're c M D
in the chat room. Dean Martin agrees. I think I
got a good chance on this one. Well, I'm not
the benchmark on this stuff, though, Well, yeah, sometimes you are.
Sometimes yeah. And which of the following circumstances may the
(22:20):
control operator of an amateur station receive compensation for operating
that station? A When the communication is related to the
cell of amateur equipment by the control operator's employer. B
when the communication is incidental to classroom instruction at an
(22:40):
educational institution. See when the communication is made to obtain
emergency information for a local broadcast station or D. All
these choices are correct, which are the phone cercustances? To me,
the control operator of an amateur station received compensation, It's
(23:02):
definitely not gonna be D because that's kind of a
no no. When communications may debtain where you just see
information for a local broadcast station, that still wouldn't be
A something you could get paid for now. B. When
the communication is incidental to the classroom instruction as an
(23:23):
educational institution. I think that's probably gonna be it. But
let's look at A to be sure. When the communications
related to the sale. Now, you can't pay somebody to
get on there and sell your gear, so it's gonna
be B. I'm pretty sure that's gonna be it. When
the communication is incidental to classroom instruction and an educational institution,
(23:46):
So the teacher it's getting their normal salary. I'm sure.
So their teaching radio stuff, I guess. And that's not
what that means. So if you are just happen to
be a profise sir or dean of student affairs, you
really reach it here. Brother, Well, I've been saving that
(24:09):
up all the week. Ood, Okay, go for it, all right? Yeah,
so I don't want to agree with you if it's
B thatt room. Yeah, they're all saying B. When may
(24:32):
amateur sessions transmit information in support of broadcasting, program production,
or news gathering, assuming no other means is available. A
when communications are directly related to the immediate safety of
human life or protection of property. B When broadcasting communications
(24:55):
too are from the space needs. Do that again? Is
there a space shuttle anymore? No, there's a space station.
So why they didn't update this question the when broadcasting
(25:15):
communications too are from the space shuttle C where non
commercial programming is gathered and supplied exclusively to the National
Public Radio Network D never this fine answer, yep, when
(25:35):
me the amateur stations, there's been informations we're broadcasting program
protection or news gathering when such communications are directly related
to the immediate safety of human life. Well, that's good.
It's not gonna be D because I think it's a
(25:56):
let's look back at them. Where non commercial programming is
gathered exclusively to the National Public 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
communications are directly related to immediate safety of human life
(26:18):
or protection of property, that's pretty much every thinks off
the table when it comes to that. Yeah, so that's
going with a I and everyone in the chatterom agree.
There you go. That was you know, that would lead
(26:40):
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 to
the National Public radio on that work now, MPR. Yeah,
I mean what do you don't you think the commercial
(27:01):
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, not Trump's
just about everything else. Fist bump pad A reminder there,
thanks Tom. How does the FCC define broadcasting for the
(27:24):
Amateur Radio Service A two way transmissions by amateur stations
B any transmission made by the license station CE transmission
messages directed only to amateur operators are D transmissions intended
for reception by the general public. Oh yeah, that's pretty
(27:48):
easy one. They're that's 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,
(28:09):
in we'd all be broadcasts. 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
(28:32):
the general public. That ocur yeah, which we're not supposed
to do that, everybody in the chat room, so we're
not supposed to do ye, and it is all right
when may an Ametra station transmit without identifying on the
air A when the transmissions are of a brief nature
(28:56):
to make station adjustments, when the transmissions are unmodulated. See
when the transmitted power level is below one WAT or
D when transmitting signals control model craft. I just kind
of happened to know this one because this is kind
(29:17):
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 like on a drone, there's
(29:38):
a telemetry that comes back from the drone, you have
a what there's a string that you can put in there.
You're actually supposed to put your call sign in there.
But years back to you, do you have a drone
call sign? No? Did you put your amateur radio calls
sign in it? Because some of them for certain power
you're supposed to have a license. Oh okay, yeah, I'm
(30:01):
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 there that wouldn't
(30:25):
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 study, there are texts available. Yeah, you can
(30:47):
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
those before I went to take many. Yeah. You can
buy books. This one right here is the A r
(31:07):
r L. Ham Radio License Manual, fifth Edition. This is
a good little thick book here spiral bounds. It covers
more than just some questions. It's got some background and
different explanations, different modis theory and such. You can also
(31:28):
get from the a r r L. Gordon West Amateur
Radio Study Guides. Those are also excellent. And you study
that you have pretty much kind of pass a lot
of different ways. You can study there, we encourage you,
or if you've already got your license, we encourage you
(31:48):
to encourage someone else get their amateur 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. I've had I've got three people
at my job license. Really, yeah, I haven't got anybody
(32:10):
at my job. Long you're slacking, man, you need that. Well,
I know I did get one guy license. Actually I
got two licensed. There you go. That was in a
previous job. Then I got my son license. So yeah,
it's a tie score here. Well, that's a good one
if you got your son license, because I haven't gotten
(32:30):
I'm pretty much defeated by that one. We've got some
stuff to give away here, so I think it's only appropriate.
We're not gonna give it away tonight. We're gonna talk
about it, give people a chance to get their name
in so they can might win it. Yep, we aren't
going to talk about it. If you'll stand by for
one moment, we'll be right back around the fifteenth of
(32:50):
each month. It's amateur Radio's original and the longest running
video podcast, Amateur Logic top TV with hosts George Thomas email,
the Odinay and Mike Moore. Note roughly, here's what I have.
The bottom trace here is ground well the elenent so
biggle suns. They're actually not too bad. It's light. After
(33:12):
putting it together, I decided to test everything, so I
ran in twelve volts and I'm measuring the output here. No,
it's not too any right 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. I personally am so thrilled that George
(33:34):
got the special awards, well deserved. My friend, that's really cool.
What about the super Bowl and theil Did you go
to the super Bowl or were you at home operating
that night tuning my amplifier And oh I lost power
in the shack.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
And went outside the house lost power.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
The whole neighborhood went out for about thirty minutes.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Oh, that explains a lot. Now we can take this
and put it over insign our box. It's flushed to
the bottom. If we were to wrote, we can see
that thing goes all the way through, so we'll have
a hole in the bottom. What ammunition do you use
in there?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
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 (34:18):
Here's what it looks like after I've got them all
soldered together and heat ranked up. Okay, let's give it
a try and see how it worked out. So there
you have it, the Hula loup. No, you can't all
out the dogs parking.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
I have two thin film solar cells so round. This
looks like a little mini weather satellite. Actually, and I'm
using a guitar string for the antennas. I particularly like
that last one there, twenty nine ninety nine. You can
get a fifty foot garden hose extension cord combo.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Do you not get cord wet? Now? Most of these
TA poles are built with metal elements of tubing.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
The reason I chose wire for this one is the
link this particular one. So I wanted to hang it
from the tree so I can hoist it up there.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, no, fishing well, we couldn't find it. Real is
that what that is? All right? Tommy sing the theme
song here. It's the last show whenever we decided to
shut her down. No, I'm just gonna battle on out.
Just let it go, just let her out. Well, you know,
(35:34):
amateur logic our parents show here? Has it started in
what year? Two thousand dollars? Yep? Katrina here yep? Right after?
Well it, portions of it were shot before, portions after.
It was right around the time for King Katrina years ago,
(35:57):
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 items. Icon Ice seven O five, an Inteletron
power supply from Gigabarts, also a Intellatron antenna, and massy
(36:17):
and Poloni or Payoloni how you pronounce it, coaxial cable.
We're gonna talk a little more about these items. First,
the IC seven oh five. We actually know someone who
has one of these rigs. He's got it all backed
(36:38):
up and ready to go. That's Tommy's radio. It's the
IC seven oh five HF six meter two meter and
four forty megahertz multi mode portable trendsceiver, play station performance
and features in the Palmmy you hen whether you've taken
your hobby to a Soda TODA or some other on
(36:58):
the air location, the IC seven oh five will be
your go to rig from HF to fifty one four
four forty megahertz. You can enjoy a variety of bands
in the d STAR, DV single side band, CW, riddy,
AM and FM modes. The IC seven oh five receives
(37:19):
continuously from thirty megahertz through one hundred and forty four
megahertz band, and you can also enjoy FM broadcast and
airband receptions and the IC seven oh five employees and
r F direct Sampling system where RF signals are directly
converted to digital radio. In other words, this is a
(37:40):
true software defined radio. Tommy tell us a couple of things.
Since since you have one of these, you's got a
real time spectrum scope and want fall display, which is
will actually spoil you once you get used to using it.
You can see the signals where where the sign of
(38:00):
the activity is and touch it. Its take you right
there to that frequency. Very nice. You can change the
span now 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 unlike the i
C seventy three, I'm pretty sure the same size. Very nice.
(38:26):
That wireless LAMB Bluetooth technologies. What can you do with that?
Now 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 LAMB or
so you can get on the network, set the time
over the Internet and connect to it remotely GPS functions
(38:51):
and that can be handy for some of the digital modes. Yeah,
these stars got the dpr S, not not a pr S,
but DPRS. If you use a repair or your hotspot's
enabled for that, which mine is, and it'll you'll show
up on the APRS network. It's got a micro OSD
card slot. What can you do with that? You can
(39:13):
back up your settings, restore your settings if you want to,
like sometimes I have different files online for different setups.
And you can also record you q saws if you
want to get a record of it. It's automatically records.
Very nice. Good to have a micro USD connector. And
(39:34):
of course I assume that, so you can program the
radio boot. Yeah, you can hook it up and do
digital modes with it too, because the radio show up
as a sound card to your computer. It'll also use
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
(39:57):
favorite digital mode, digital voice mode. Yeah, so all that,
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 U d
Star Info. You can also have nearest FM repeaters with
(40:19):
it as well, so yeah, FM and d Star repeaters.
That's cool. Program a 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 in metal. Yeah, on it. It's
(40:39):
very very nice speaker mic. That's the audio sounds really
good on it. Got buttons on the front that you
can program what they did watch. I haven't used that,
but but it's capable of it. Very nice. I really
liked the little speaker mic. So you're saying it's a
compact radio and a rugged case for outdoor use, small, lightweight,
(41:01):
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. In portable mode, what kind of power
can you get out of them? Just off the battery.
It's got a battery on the back of it, like
the one on the I fifty one fifty two panhils
(41:22):
same yeah, handhelds, the same battery, and you can get
five up to five watts out of it with that.
But if you hook up the coactual power connector like
you have to the power supply here, you can get
up to ten watts out of it with thirteen point
eight bottles cool. There's an optional backpack you can get
and you got I've actually got one. Yeah, very nice.
(41:44):
Little backpack of radio fits in the top up here.
Go 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 They've
got the prone tucked in so I could pull it out,
run a collex in hook it up so it can
stay in the backpack as you use it. Yeah, and
(42:07):
at the q RP power level, is not worried about
it getting hot because it doesn't generate that much. Yeah,
it doesn't get very warm at all. A little bit
of a little bit of warmth off of it, not much.
What else you got in that bag? I got I
should have got this sound, So everybody's flips to the zipping.
Now the bag is optional. That's not part of the
(42:28):
package here. It's It's also got the H 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 not using batteries, so the batteries super efficient. It's
the same set of batteries I've had in it. Well,
actually I don't keep them in it because batteries leaked nowadays,
(42:49):
but I'm still carrying the same set of batteries around
this I got it. Batteries are still fine. Yeah, tea
in a wide range of it will still it will.
I don't have to range in front of me. You
have it. And there's a variety of option in free
software for the PC iOS and Android devices. You know, overall,
(43:12):
if you want a portable radio, I don't. I don't
know what else you'd want to use. I mean, the
thing is really small, and it's got everything in it
that you're going to see on most base stations. I've
said before, I guess I'll say it again, but if
I had to go down to one radio, this would
be the one radio that I would get camp as.
(43:34):
I could put it into mobile, could use it at home.
Is it camping. You can hook up a rubber duck
to it, walk around with it if you want it. Oh,
I've seen walking Talkie's old school. It's about that size.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
You need the three D print of belt clip for that,
and that would look nice hanging off your belt. Well,
you can put him right through here. We're going to
give away this Inteletron PS twenty two to thirty MLB,
thirty APPS switching power supply, and it's also got a
(44:11):
twelve volte DC outlet on the front of it. There
where basically a cigarette lighter style plug that a lot
of things like cell phone chargers will run off of.
It's compact, cutting edge switching supply boasts and high efficiency
and a compact, lightweight design. It's tailored to reduce noise,
(44:32):
particularly for communications. Any potential noise can be negated using
the noise offset control on the frontier. That's not a
variable voltage control. It's a noise offset control that's also
got eliminated in meters for enhancing overall usability. You can
(44:56):
read both a voltagen current with that meter. Put voltage
one hundred and ten volts ac sixty hertz. I'll put
voltage thirteen point eight volt dc, which is wont you
what you want for radio? I'll put voltage regulation under
two percent. It's got short circuit protection, automatic current limiting
(45:17):
up to thirty amps. The maximum output current is thirty
amps continuous twenty amps, which was going to cover any
of you Hunter radios ripple below eighty mili volts peak
to peak at full load. It's got an eight amp
fuse in it. Anyways, about three and a half pounds
(45:38):
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 theirbouts farebouts
probably still air. It's got five way binding posts here
on the rear so you can connect up practically in
(46:00):
thing to it great little lightweight power supply. We've also
got something else from Giga Parts, 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
need an antenna, which we've got one right here. You
can probably see it laying on the edge. It's the
(46:20):
Intel Tron PA twenty one ninety nine S HF and
VHF mobile antenna covers eighty through six meters two hundred watts,
got a PL two fifty nine on the bottom so
it fits a lot of antenna mounts. Covers ten bands
eighty forty thirty, twenty seventeen, fifteen, twelve, ten, six and
(46:42):
two meters handles up to two hundred watts. Maximum height
is forty nine and a half inches. I heard you
show that part built in machine PL two fifty nine
connector the PA twenty one nine nine quick and easy
way to go mobile and sell it in minutes and
covering eighty two meters as we mentioned, without swapping resonators
(47:06):
dealing with sensitive controllers. Choose your band by using a
unique tapping coil system. Extors we're just showing you and
fine tune the lip link for a minimum as of yours.
Built tough but light enough to sell on a wide
range of lip truck, trunk, lip trunk pipe and mag mounts.
(47:27):
That's a tongue twister. You can also use it as
a portable antenna for InCom poda, marine or vacation travels
setups as well. For a portable counterpoys, use a wire
that's longer than the quarterwave length that's operating frequency and
spread out on the ground, or attach a Koax shield
to any metallic structure such as a steel fence, metal
(47:49):
railing or walkway. And I'm going to buy one of
those before the specials over. Yeah, we've got a discount
they will tell you about shortly. I'm gonna be sure
to take advantage of it. Yeah, you want to get
in the very nice looking antenna. Those two products are
Inteletron and Intellotron is a new product line brought to
(48:12):
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 wide variety of antennas and power supplies and
meters and speakers, speakers. I bought one of the speakers
(48:34):
when I was in there, 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 Amateurlogic. You can say five percent on
(48:58):
products from Intelltron Explorer or Massi and Poloni by going
to gigaparts dot com and using the code am TV
at checkout and you'll say an additional five percent. Speaking
of Messi Poloni, Giga parts is also kind of enough
(49:19):
to throw in the twenty five feet of coas cable.
That's some good looking co acci, isn't it. It really is.
It's same. I'm gonna buy some of this too, and
it's super light. It almost doesn't feel it doesn't feel real,
but still wiring there. But it's definitely in there same
(49:39):
dimensions as RG fifty eight, but at fifty megahertz. It's attenuation.
There's only three point six yb for one hundred meters,
so it's lower loss than RG fifty eight. For sure.
It's perfect for direct burial, totally waterproof thanks to the
pe carbon black tear proof sheath that allows different kinds
(50:03):
of outdoor uses. It's very light weight, incredibly light weight. Yeah,
to the point it doesn't feel like there's any wire
in it. Yeah, although it is. 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
the backpack. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna say, if you're gonna
(50:26):
put any little backpack like this, I'm gonna add any
weight at all to that. Yeah. And it's only five
millimeters in diameter. But Airborne five is made of tough
aluminum magnesium Alloyd braid, boasting us superlative robustness and inviable resistance.
I think, uh, is this the thingless steel the connector
(50:51):
on it? It looks like thingless steel connector? The uh
you HFPO two fifty nine is a solder mail connector
for easy installation. Solder instructions are included. Of course, this
one's already installed on the cable. We're giving away dramatic
(51:13):
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 that's
an excellent looking connector there. Oh, nineteen milimeter fits it perfect. Yep.
(51:36):
So if you need to tighten it up nineteen milimeter,
you don't have to use those flyers and liver up
your connector if it gets you know, all their tights.
Nobody connector buggered up, nobody. It's a really nice looking connector. Man,
really quality buying some of this too. We'll buy twenty
(51:59):
five foot piece to go with my little intent I'm
gonna buying. So you're gonna be buying one just like that,
exactly like this, and I'm gonna buy that intended too. Yep.
Cool on this antenna. Use it on a truck, left
mount or or any mount on your vehicle. That's all
you need. You should be able to teune it. If
you're going to use it on a portable say trop
(52:21):
out or something like that, you just have a counterpourse
to it. Yeah, a little bit longer than a little
bit longer than or whatever frequency you're going to operate on,
whatever your those frequency would 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
(52:43):
and do some experience. You know, I took it out
and checked it in. If it's on my my mount
on my truck, just fine, it's not 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 that one for the five percent couponing. Say, well,
(53:05):
that's not right, spot, 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 icom Ice
seven oh five, the Inteletron power supply and Compact multipen antenna,
and the twenty five foot of messy in Aloney everyone
five coaxial cable. You got to be qualified, got to

going on with Hamcollege, well there's a way you can
do it. You can join our high society Facebook, dot com,
slash groups slash Hamcollege. We're on the Twitter or x
(56:18):
follow us at Ham College. Or you can join our
groups dot io, slash g slash amateurlogic group and there
we send out emails whenever there's gonna be a live
episode or whenever we post on our show, yeah, and
let you know when the next show is going to be.
(56:40):
And if you're wondering what we covered in any particular episode,
there's a way you can find out that information. 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 for slash wiki. If somebody emails us and asks, hey,
what what episode was so and so in Actually I
(57:03):
had somebody do that. I asked me about the Hamclock
stuff the other day, and so I went to the wiki,
looked it up ham Clock 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
(57:23):
you think we should have mentioned before we get out
of here tonight, I don't think so. I think I
pretty much covered it. It's 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
the's been a lot of times as I took my
technician tests, it's always interesting to go and see how
(57:45):
much of it I remember. It seems like it's been
a long time since we didn't miss a question of
technician exam. Yep, Well we didn't miss any. Not everybody
got it. I came close. Yep, I missed your question.
You did count against me. See, I was thinking about
(58:08):
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 just being nice. That just
seem like we usually you take them first. I do
it this time around. We want you to join us
right here at Amtrologic dot TV on October the eighteenth.
(58:32):
That'll 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 going to
be doing on the next show, but we've got something
a couple of weeks figured out. Go ahead and get
your entry in. If you haven't gotten it in, please,
in fact, tell you other hand friends about it. Seven
(58:55):
three three everybody. Everybody's saying, b I'll agree with you. No,
(59:35):
wait a minute, that can't be right. It's not right.
I'm gonna have to choose that one.
You know, anytime we're doing a show, we've got chat
from going on at the same time, it's on the
YouTube chat These days, you're in cursed if you're watching
live to join in there. What do we talk about
last month? Last month we talked about licensing classes, sequential
(00:21):
and vanity call sign systems, places where amateur radio services
regulated by the FCC, names and addresses on FCC database,
term renewal, Oh, term and renewal. How about that, My
memory is just boggy. That's not what it used to be.
A grace period, maintaining mailing addresses, international communications, and early
(00:45):
radio receivers. And that was a pretty full show, that was.
And of course we're studying for the Technician class exam.
Now this month we're going to be studying and authorized
and prohibited transmissions, communications with other countries, music, exchange of
information with other services in decent language, compensation for operating,
(01:07):
retransmission of other amateur signals, encryption, cell of equipment, unidentified transmissions,
and one way transmission. It sounds like this was going
to be a pretty full one as well. Yep, sounds
like it's going to be mostly rule stuff. Well, why
don't you ask me the first one no particular reasons.
(01:27):
Let me see if I can find them, Okay, with
which countries are FCC licensed amateur radio stations prohibited from
exchanging communications? A Any country whose administration has notified the
International Touch Communications Union for the ITU that it objects
to such communications. B Any country whose administrators have notified
(01:50):
the American Radio Relay League a RRL that it objects
to such communications. See any country banned from such communications
by the International Amateur Radio Union the I A r U.
Or D any country ban from making such communications by
the American Radio Relay League a r r L. Well,
(02:16):
let listen, that's kind of wishful thinking. If other countries
are going to be uh if the A r r
L is going to be able to ban them. Now
that that's only an American organization. The question again is
which with which countries are SEC licensed amateur radio stations
(02:38):
prohibited from exchanging communications? See any country ban from such
communications by the International Amateur Radio Union. Now, I don't
think the I A r U banns countries. If they did,
(02:58):
it's probably a bad actor who wouldn't listen to him anyway,
So that's not going to be It be any country
whose administration has notified the r r L that it
objects to such communications. Not it's not going to be
that because the ar r L is not a regulatory agency.
(03:19):
It's well, it's a private amateur radio organization. Yeah. Ay,
any country whose administration has notified the International Telecommunications Union
the ITU that it objects to such communication, does that
make sense? It makes sense to me as well. So yeah,
(03:44):
I'm gonna go with a Hey, hey, the chat room.
What did they say.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Many of them to see one see in there? But
nobody else answered yeah, I see an a in there? A.
I think let's see one now? Yeah, okay, another, come
district one in now. We must have been talking too fast,
but we're in Mississippi. Man, we don't do that. I
(04:15):
don't even know how to talk fast. No, that's there's
something in a state constitution about that. I think. Yeah,
I got one for you, all right. I feel like
this was a setup because you wanted to take it.
It wasn't. I was just that. I mean I didn't
really look to see whatever they want to follow, all right,
But if it works out to be a set up,
(04:36):
I'm okay with that. I'm sure you are. I wonder
which of the following circumstances are one way transmissions by
an amateur station prohibited A in all circumstances, B broadcasting,
C international Morse code practice or D to the command
(05:00):
or transmission of telemetry when way transmissions, Well it's not
A because I know telecommanded transmission telemetry is perfectly fine.
More scope practice is fine too. So it's got to
(05:22):
be be 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. Yeah, most people in
there are saying, B. Well that's what I'm saying. I'm
(05:48):
gonna 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 go to give me the next one
for next one to get ahead? Yeah, I don't know.
We'll have to see how it goes. When is it
(06:10):
permissible to transmit messages encoded to obscure their meaning. A
Only during contests, B only when transmitting certain improved digital codes.
See only when transmitting control commands to space stations. Or
radio control craft r D never. When is it permissible
(06:33):
to transmit messages encoded to obscure their meaning only during contest? Well,
you know that that's a chance. That's probably not it.
I don't think to feast the whole contest purpose only
when transmitting certain approved digital modes codes now D never
(07:03):
that's pretty close answer there. But actually to accommodate technology,
I'm gonna say it's c only when transmitted control codes
to space stations or radio control crafts. Yeah, you wouldn't
want to transmit commands to radio control crafts or space
(07:30):
stations out in the clear where everybody's exactly So, yeah,
it's it's the I could see that happen too. It
take five minutes for someonny and that stuff. You're right,
makes sense, perfect sense. I Under what condition does an
(07:51):
amateur station authorized to transmit music using a phone emission
A went in so little to an author lives retransmission
of a man's spacecraft communications B when the music produces
no spurriys emissions, C when transmissions are limited to less
(08:12):
than three minutes per hour, or D when the music
is transmitted above one eighty megahertz. Well, you can't sent.
You can't trans music into one point two gigs either,
transmission limited to three minutes per hour. That's not that's
(08:35):
not it either, and spuryous emissions and music doesn't matter.
It's gonna be a incidental to an authorized retransmission of
man spacecraft communications.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
So I guess if somebody was jamming out up there
in the space station and it's in the background, and
you retransmitted the broadcast the quative, I guess that's okay. Yeah,
I couldn't. I'm in that. I'm not sure that that's
ever happened or not. I don't know. I've never heard
(09:10):
of it, but I guess it's we did. 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 A
on this one right here. I don't agree. You are
(09:33):
going to agree? You say, yeah, yes, me too. Oh 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,
(09:54):
A never B when the equipment is not the personal
property of it Either the station licensee or the control
operator or they're close relatives. C when no profit is
made on the sale. D when selling amateur radio equipment
(10:15):
and not on a regular basis. Yeah, 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. I don't think it's C. You think it's
(10:36):
C when no profit is made on the sale. You're
not really supposed to connect any business to make money
on it on the radio. No, No, we'll see. I
don't know. Let's see. Let's see, let's see. Let's that
was not intentional. Okay, it just worked out that way.
They're still saying D in there. I don't think it's C.
(11:00):
M h, I get that wrong. Well, it didn't get
counted against you since you ask me that sell it
it don't make a profit, but not on a regular basis. Well, yeah,
I mean that could work. But if you did make
(11:21):
a profit, that's that's okay. That's permitted, but not not
on a regular basis. Yeah, you know there's a Texas
trader's network. Have you ever heard that on Jeff, No,
it's uh where people are selling amateur radio equipment, and
(11:45):
I hadn't listened to it in years and years and
never really listened to it, not much. But I'm just
wondering now or there's are there certain people on there
who who have Yeah, I don't know, must not be,
but yeah, you hear people trying to or you know,
(12:06):
I got such and such model radio and I'm going
to sell it. Well, what do you take for it? 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 listen somewhere else. I don't ever recall. Yeah,
(12:32):
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. How would you know if somebody made
a profit of or not? Yeah, it'd be tough, I guess. Yeah.
(12:54):
What if any or other restrictions concerning transmission of language
that may be considered indecent or obscene A The SEC
maintains a lester of words that are not permitted to
be used on amateur frequencies, be any such language is prohibited,
C the I TU maintains a lester of words that
(13:17):
are not permitted to be used on amateur frequencies, or
D there is no such prohibit prohibition. I guess that's
how 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,
(13:39):
because nobody but George Carlin did that that I know why.
That's true. He did it, and he did a good
job of that too. Well he's samless for it. Yeah, yeah,
other things, but we can't talk about it on the air. Yep.
But I'm thinking it's gonna be that uh b b. Yeah,
I guess I didn't be around the bush too much.
(14:00):
But that's pretty much it. Yeah, absolutely nothing. If it's
if it's questionable, if it even kind of seems like
it's kind of not right, then especially it's not to
say it on the air. Yeah. Not everybody pays attention
to that role, but yeah, I have to. What do
(14:27):
you say we take a breaks A good idea keep
your competitive contesting edge with icon Icon top power Base
stations cut through polyps, letting you work the bends and
record those contacts contests from the comfort of your home
or remotely with the RSBA one out heard it, worked it,
logged it, I come, heard the call and answered. The
(14:50):
ICPW two is here. Take your contesting experience to the
next level with Icon's industry first linear amplifier, which includes
deep digital predistortion and a built in two by six
automatic antennis elector for s O two R single operator
two radio operation. With the IC seventy six y ten,
(15:12):
think signals are no longer challenging for d xers and contesters.
This high performance SDR radio change the world's definition of
an SDR transceiver. This high powered based station features an
RF direct sampling system one hundred and ten dB r
MDR that can pick out the faintest of signals even
in the presence of stronger adjacent signals, an independent duel receiver,
(15:37):
dual digifel, and more. This is the SDR every Ham wants.

s quay.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Episode three of Amateurlogic Boy. That was what nineteen years ago? Almost?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
That?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
That just kind of blows my mind. Nineteen years yep,
a long time. We're celebrating that too. Next, I'm going
to get some cool stuff. Yeah, we've got a few
things here on the table that we're going to be
given away, and we'll talk about that later on. We
(17:52):
got more questions before that, but we got some most
stup to give away before that, Dan, why don't we
do that now? I got 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 icon Handcrew T shirts. Yes, same thing on the
front as it does on the back. So when you
leave in a ham Fisher, look just as good as
(18:13):
you did when you showed up. 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 Amateur Logic dot tv and just that's it.
You can put a massage in there. Send you Yeah,
you can send your name and the winner is going
(18:33):
to be Jim McDonald. Awesome. K I seven Z A
X your resultions, Jim, Jim says, please enter me in
the monthly contest for the icon product. Well, it's I
don't know if that's a product, but it's a shirt
(18:55):
during anice shirt. I don't know that they sell them,
but you could win one. They may sell them, I
don't know. Like he just did win one. 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
my common Yeah, so congratulations, Jim. If you'd like to win,
(19:17):
just send us an email Ham College at amateurlogic dot tv.
You could put a message in there like Jim did.
Just a one liner 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.
(19:41):
But you know we don't. We don't usually receive that.
Now that I've said this thought, so yeah, get your
name into the que Nigel knows about the queues. They
love the queues in England. That's what they call lines.
When you're getting a line, you call it the queue. Okay,
(20:03):
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
space stations, D repeater auxiliary or space stations. What type
(20:26):
of amateur stations can automatically retransmit the signals of other
amateur stations? All those three times real fast? Yeah, let's
see auxiliary beacon or earth Well, No, a beacon is
just like sending out a call sign or something repeatedly.
It's not automatically retransmitting anything, so that'll reuly out a
(20:47):
for sure. B automatically retransmit Earth repeater or space stations.
I mean that would pretty much cover everything, wouldn't it.
Uh huh? I said, No, that's I don't think that's it.
See beacon repeater or space stations. Yeah, there again, it's
(21:11):
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 a different location somebody
else's beacon. I won't say it's deve or Peter auxiliary
(21:32):
or space stations. I think that's probably right. That's close
as I can come. Nook, you're reading that as bacon bacon? Yeah,
have you had something yet? Okay, there you go. You
should eat before you go take your exam. But you
(21:52):
could you could miss this, and they're c M D
in the chat room. Dean Martin agrees. I think I
got a good chance on this one. Well, I'm not
the benchmark on this stuff, though, Well, yeah, sometimes you are.
Sometimes yeah. And which of the following circumstances may the
(22:20):
control operator of an amateur station receive compensation for operating
that station? A When the communication is related to the
cell of amateur equipment by the control operator's employer. B
when the communication is incidental to classroom instruction at an
(22:40):
educational institution. See when the communication is made to obtain
emergency information for a local broadcast station or D. All
these choices are correct, which are the phone cercustances? To me,
the control operator of an amateur station received compensation, It's
(23:02):
definitely not gonna be D because that's kind of a
no no. When communications may debtain where you just see
information for a local broadcast station, that still wouldn't be
A something you could get paid for now. B. When
the communication is incidental to the classroom instruction as an
(23:23):
educational institution. I think that's probably gonna be it. But
let's look at A to be sure. When the communications
related to the sale. Now, you can't pay somebody to
get on there and sell your gear, so it's gonna
be B. I'm pretty sure that's gonna be it. When
the communication is incidental to classroom instruction and an educational institution,
(23:46):
So the teacher it's getting their normal salary. I'm sure.
So their teaching radio stuff, I guess. And that's not
what that means. So if you are just happen to
be a profise sir or dean of student affairs, you
really reach it here. Brother, Well, I've been saving that
(24:09):
up all the week. Ood, Okay, go for it, all right? Yeah,
so I don't want to agree with you if it's
B thatt room. Yeah, they're all saying B. When may
(24:32):
amateur sessions transmit information in support of broadcasting, program production,
or news gathering, assuming no other means is available. A
when communications are directly related to the immediate safety of
human life or protection of property. B When broadcasting communications
(24:55):
too are from the space needs. Do that again? Is
there a space shuttle anymore? No, there's a space station.
So why they didn't update this question the when broadcasting
(25:15):
communications too are from the space shuttle C where non
commercial programming is gathered and supplied exclusively to the National
Public Radio Network D never this fine answer, yep, when
(25:35):
me the amateur stations, there's been informations we're broadcasting program
protection or news gathering when such communications are directly related
to the immediate safety of human life. Well, that's good.
It's not gonna be D because I think it's a
(25:56):
let's look back at them. Where non commercial programming is
gathered exclusively to the National Public 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
communications are directly related to immediate safety of human life
(26:18):
or protection of property, that's pretty much every thinks off
the table when it comes to that. Yeah, so that's
going with a I and everyone in the chatterom agree.
There you go. That was you know, that would lead
(26:40):
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 to
the National Public radio on that work now, MPR. Yeah,
I mean what do you don't you think the commercial
(27:01):
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, not Trump's
just about everything else. Fist bump pad A reminder there,
thanks Tom. How does the FCC define broadcasting for the
(27:24):
Amateur Radio Service A two way transmissions by amateur stations
B any transmission made by the license station CE transmission
messages directed only to amateur operators are D transmissions intended
for reception by the general public. Oh yeah, that's pretty
(27:48):
easy one. They're that's 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,
(28:09):
in we'd all be broadcasts. 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
(28:32):
the general public. That ocur yeah, which we're not supposed
to do that, everybody in the chat room, so we're
not supposed to do ye, and it is all right
when may an Ametra station transmit without identifying on the
air A when the transmissions are of a brief nature
(28:56):
to make station adjustments, when the transmissions are unmodulated. See
when the transmitted power level is below one WAT or
D when transmitting signals control model craft. I just kind
of happened to know this one because this is kind
(29:17):
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 like on a drone, there's
(29:38):
a telemetry that comes back from the drone, you have
a what there's a string that you can put in there.
You're actually supposed to put your call sign in there.
But years back to you, do you have a drone
call sign? No? Did you put your amateur radio calls
sign in it? Because some of them for certain power
you're supposed to have a license. Oh okay, yeah, I'm
(30:01):
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 there that wouldn't
(30:25):
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 study, there are texts available. Yeah, you can
(30:47):
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
those before I went to take many. Yeah. You can
buy books. This one right here is the A r
(31:07):
r L. Ham Radio License Manual, fifth Edition. This is
a good little thick book here spiral bounds. It covers
more than just some questions. It's got some background and
different explanations, different modis theory and such. You can also
(31:28):
get from the a r r L. Gordon West Amateur
Radio Study Guides. Those are also excellent. And you study
that you have pretty much kind of pass a lot
of different ways. You can study there, we encourage you,
or if you've already got your license, we encourage you
(31:48):
to encourage someone else get their amateur 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. I've had I've got three people
at my job license. Really, yeah, I haven't got anybody
(32:10):
at my job. Long you're slacking, man, you need that. Well,
I know I did get one guy license. Actually I
got two licensed. There you go. That was in a
previous job. Then I got my son license. So yeah,
it's a tie score here. Well, that's a good one
if you got your son license, because I haven't gotten
(32:30):
I'm pretty much defeated by that one. We've got some
stuff to give away here, so I think it's only appropriate.
We're not gonna give it away tonight. We're gonna talk
about it, give people a chance to get their name
in so they can might win it. Yep, we aren't
going to talk about it. If you'll stand by for
one moment, we'll be right back around the fifteenth of
(32:50):
each month. It's amateur Radio's original and the longest running
video podcast, Amateur Logic top TV with hosts George Thomas email,
the Odinay and Mike Moore. Note roughly, here's what I have.
The bottom trace here is ground well the elenent so
biggle suns. They're actually not too bad. It's light. After
(33:12):
putting it together, I decided to test everything, so I
ran in twelve volts and I'm measuring the output here. No,
it's not too any right 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. I personally am so thrilled that George
(33:34):
got the special awards, well deserved. My friend, that's really cool.
What about the super Bowl and theil Did you go
to the super Bowl or were you at home operating
that night tuning my amplifier And oh I lost power
in the shack.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
And went outside the house lost power.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
The whole neighborhood went out for about thirty minutes.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Oh, that explains a lot. Now we can take this
and put it over insign our box. It's flushed to
the bottom. If we were to wrote, we can see
that thing goes all the way through, so we'll have
a hole in the bottom. What ammunition do you use
in there?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
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 (34:18):
Here's what it looks like after I've got them all
soldered together and heat ranked up. Okay, let's give it
a try and see how it worked out. So there
you have it, the Hula loup. No, you can't all
out the dogs parking.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
I have two thin film solar cells so round. This
looks like a little mini weather satellite. Actually, and I'm
using a guitar string for the antennas. I particularly like
that last one there, twenty nine ninety nine. You can
get a fifty foot garden hose extension cord combo.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Do you not get cord wet? Now? Most of these
TA poles are built with metal elements of tubing.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
The reason I chose wire for this one is the
link this particular one. So I wanted to hang it
from the tree so I can hoist it up there.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, no, fishing well, we couldn't find it. Real is
that what that is? All right? Tommy sing the theme
song here. It's the last show whenever we decided to
shut her down. No, I'm just gonna battle on out.
Just let it go, just let her out. Well, you know,
(35:34):
amateur logic our parents show here? Has it started in
what year? Two thousand dollars? Yep? Katrina here yep? Right after?
Well it, portions of it were shot before, portions after.
It was right around the time for King Katrina years ago,
(35:57):
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 items. Icon Ice seven O five, an Inteletron
power supply from Gigabarts, also a Intellatron antenna, and massy
(36:17):
and Poloni or Payoloni how you pronounce it, coaxial cable.
We're gonna talk a little more about these items. First,
the IC seven oh five. We actually know someone who
has one of these rigs. He's got it all backed
(36:38):
up and ready to go. That's Tommy's radio. It's the
IC seven oh five HF six meter two meter and
four forty megahertz multi mode portable trendsceiver, play station performance
and features in the Palmmy you hen whether you've taken
your hobby to a Soda TODA or some other on
(36:58):
the air location, the IC seven oh five will be
your go to rig from HF to fifty one four
four forty megahertz. You can enjoy a variety of bands
in the d STAR, DV single side band, CW, riddy,
AM and FM modes. The IC seven oh five receives
(37:19):
continuously from thirty megahertz through one hundred and forty four
megahertz band, and you can also enjoy FM broadcast and
airband receptions and the IC seven oh five employees and
r F direct Sampling system where RF signals are directly
converted to digital radio. In other words, this is a
(37:40):
true software defined radio. Tommy tell us a couple of things.
Since since you have one of these, you's got a
real time spectrum scope and want fall display, which is
will actually spoil you once you get used to using it.
You can see the signals where where the sign of
(38:00):
the activity is and touch it. Its take you right
there to that frequency. Very nice. You can change the
span now 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 unlike the i
C seventy three, I'm pretty sure the same size. Very nice.
(38:26):
That wireless LAMB Bluetooth technologies. What can you do with that?
Now 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 LAMB or
so you can get on the network, set the time
over the Internet and connect to it remotely GPS functions
(38:51):
and that can be handy for some of the digital modes. Yeah,
these stars got the dpr S, not not a pr S,
but DPRS. If you use a repair or your hotspot's
enabled for that, which mine is, and it'll you'll show
up on the APRS network. It's got a micro OSD
card slot. What can you do with that? You can
(39:13):
back up your settings, restore your settings if you want to,
like sometimes I have different files online for different setups.
And you can also record you q saws if you
want to get a record of it. It's automatically records.
Very nice. Good to have a micro USD connector. And
(39:34):
of course I assume that, so you can program the
radio boot. Yeah, you can hook it up and do
digital modes with it too, because the radio show up
as a sound card to your computer. It'll also use
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
(39:57):
favorite digital mode, digital voice mode. Yeah, so all that,
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 U d
Star Info. You can also have nearest FM repeaters with
(40:19):
it as well, so yeah, FM and d Star repeaters.
That's cool. Program a 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 in metal. Yeah, on it. It's
(40:39):
very very nice speaker mic. That's the audio sounds really
good on it. Got buttons on the front that you
can program what they did watch. I haven't used that,
but but it's capable of it. Very nice. I really
liked the little speaker mic. So you're saying it's a
compact radio and a rugged case for outdoor use, small, lightweight,
(41:01):
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. In portable mode, what kind of power
can you get out of them? Just off the battery.
It's got a battery on the back of it, like
the one on the I fifty one fifty two panhils
(41:22):
same yeah, handhelds, the same battery, and you can get
five up to five watts out of it with that.
But if you hook up the coactual power connector like
you have to the power supply here, you can get
up to ten watts out of it with thirteen point
eight bottles cool. There's an optional backpack you can get
and you got I've actually got one. Yeah, very nice.
(41:44):
Little backpack of radio fits in the top up here.
Go 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 They've
got the prone tucked in so I could pull it out,
run a collex in hook it up so it can
stay in the backpack as you use it. Yeah, and
(42:07):
at the q RP power level, is not worried about
it getting hot because it doesn't generate that much. Yeah,
it doesn't get very warm at all. A little bit
of a little bit of warmth off of it, not much.
What else you got in that bag? I got I
should have got this sound, So everybody's flips to the zipping.
Now the bag is optional. That's not part of the
(42:28):
package here. It's It's also got the H 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 not using batteries, so the batteries super efficient. It's
the same set of batteries I've had in it. Well,
actually I don't keep them in it because batteries leaked nowadays,
(42:49):
but I'm still carrying the same set of batteries around
this I got it. Batteries are still fine. Yeah, tea
in a wide range of it will still it will.
I don't have to range in front of me. You
have it. And there's a variety of option in free
software for the PC iOS and Android devices. You know, overall,
(43:12):
if you want a portable radio, I don't. I don't
know what else you'd want to use. I mean, the
thing is really small, and it's got everything in it
that you're going to see on most base stations. I've
said before, I guess I'll say it again, but if
I had to go down to one radio, this would
be the one radio that I would get camp as.
(43:34):
I could put it into mobile, could use it at home.
Is it camping. You can hook up a rubber duck
to it, walk around with it if you want it. Oh,
I've seen walking Talkie's old school. It's about that size.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
You need the three D print of belt clip for that,
and that would look nice hanging off your belt. Well,
you can put him right through here. We're going to
give away this Inteletron PS twenty two to thirty MLB,
thirty APPS switching power supply, and it's also got a
(44:11):
twelve volte DC outlet on the front of it. There
where basically a cigarette lighter style plug that a lot
of things like cell phone chargers will run off of.
It's compact, cutting edge switching supply boasts and high efficiency
and a compact, lightweight design. It's tailored to reduce noise,
(44:32):
particularly for communications. Any potential noise can be negated using
the noise offset control on the frontier. That's not a
variable voltage control. It's a noise offset control that's also
got eliminated in meters for enhancing overall usability. You can
(44:56):
read both a voltagen current with that meter. Put voltage
one hundred and ten volts ac sixty hertz. I'll put
voltage thirteen point eight volt dc, which is wont you
what you want for radio? I'll put voltage regulation under
two percent. It's got short circuit protection, automatic current limiting
(45:17):
up to thirty amps. The maximum output current is thirty
amps continuous twenty amps, which was going to cover any
of you Hunter radios ripple below eighty mili volts peak
to peak at full load. It's got an eight amp
fuse in it. Anyways, about three and a half pounds
(45:38):
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 theirbouts farebouts
probably still air. It's got five way binding posts here
on the rear so you can connect up practically in
(46:00):
thing to it great little lightweight power supply. We've also
got something else from Giga Parts, 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
need an antenna, which we've got one right here. You
can probably see it laying on the edge. It's the
(46:20):
Intel Tron PA twenty one ninety nine S HF and
VHF mobile antenna covers eighty through six meters two hundred watts,
got a PL two fifty nine on the bottom so
it fits a lot of antenna mounts. Covers ten bands
eighty forty thirty, twenty seventeen, fifteen, twelve, ten, six and
(46:42):
two meters handles up to two hundred watts. Maximum height
is forty nine and a half inches. I heard you
show that part built in machine PL two fifty nine
connector the PA twenty one nine nine quick and easy
way to go mobile and sell it in minutes and
covering eighty two meters as we mentioned, without swapping resonators
(47:06):
dealing with sensitive controllers. Choose your band by using a
unique tapping coil system. Extors we're just showing you and
fine tune the lip link for a minimum as of yours.
Built tough but light enough to sell on a wide
range of lip truck, trunk, lip trunk pipe and mag mounts.
(47:27):
That's a tongue twister. You can also use it as
a portable antenna for InCom poda, marine or vacation travels
setups as well. For a portable counterpoys, use a wire
that's longer than the quarterwave length that's operating frequency and
spread out on the ground, or attach a Koax shield
to any metallic structure such as a steel fence, metal
(47:49):
railing or walkway. And I'm going to buy one of
those before the specials over. Yeah, we've got a discount
they will tell you about shortly. I'm gonna be sure
to take advantage of it. Yeah, you want to get
in the very nice looking antenna. Those two products are

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 wide variety of antennas and power supplies and
meters and speakers, speakers. I bought one of the speakers

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

of Messi Poloni, Giga parts is also kind of enough
(49:19):
to throw in the twenty five feet of coas cable.
That's some good looking co acci, isn't it. It really is.
It's same. I'm gonna buy some of this too, and
it's super light. It almost doesn't feel it doesn't feel real,
but still wiring there. But it's definitely in there same
(49:39):
dimensions as RG fifty eight, but at fifty megahertz. It's attenuation.
There's only three point six yb for one hundred meters,
so it's lower loss than RG fifty eight. For sure.
It's perfect for direct burial, totally waterproof thanks to the
pe carbon black tear proof sheath that allows different kinds
(50:03):
of outdoor uses. It's very light weight, incredibly light weight. Yeah,
to the point it doesn't feel like there's any wire
in it. Yeah, although it is. 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
the backpack. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna say, if you're gonna
(50:26):
put any little backpack like this, I'm gonna add any
weight at all to that. Yeah. And it's only five
millimeters in diameter. But Airborne five is made of tough
aluminum magnesium Alloyd braid, boasting us superlative robustness and inviable resistance.
I think, uh, is this the thingless steel the connector
(50:51):
on it? It looks like thingless steel connector? The uh
you HFPO two fifty nine is a solder mail connector
for easy installation. Solder instructions are included. Of course, this
one's already installed on the cable. We're giving away dramatic
(51:13):
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 that's
an excellent looking connector there. Oh, nineteen milimeter fits it perfect. Yep.
(51:36):
So if you need to tighten it up nineteen milimeter,
you don't have to use those flyers and liver up
your connector if it gets you know, all their tights.
Nobody connector buggered up, nobody. It's a really nice looking connector. Man,
really quality buying some of this too. We'll buy twenty
(51:59):

you need. You should be able to teune it. If

to it. Yeah, a little bit longer than a little
bit longer than or whatever frequency you're going to operate on,
