As far as I know, it was not advertised. A friend sent this link to me.

Quite a bit of clever electronics went into it, like inside of the rotating wheels etc ...
Looks like helicopter and drone video.

Merry Christmas,

Re: Belgrade Christmas Convoy

 

Thanks Harley! Coworker showed this to me. I am bummed we missed it and hope they do it again next year. Looks like a lot of effort went into this.

A high and bright "double pass" of 62 Starlink satellites is set for Sunday evening, 20 December.
This prediction is for Bozeman, but Butte, Helena, Missoula, & Kalispell are in the path too.

String 1, of 21 satellites will start at 5:40pm, from the Northwest at 10¡ã above the horizon.
They will pass to the North of directly overhead. From 60¡ã to 80¡ã above the horizon.
And set at 6:04pm, in the East Southeast at about 15¡ã above the horizon.

Imagine what the "Three Wise Men" would have thought ...

Hope it is a clear evening,

satellite search link

 

I use the following link to find anything in the sky.
You must set your location, then pick what you want to see.

Good hunting, the clouds have been masking the starlink satellites.
Saw nothing Monday or Tuesday.

Radios for sale

 

Hello all,

It's winter time and shack cleaning time. I have three radios for sale.

1 - each Kenwood TS2000 all band all mode. Good shape and bench checked. This radio has 160 through 10 meters as well as 50, 144, and 440 MHz.

Includes power cord and hand microphone. $750.00 OBO.

Link for more information on this one and the one below.

1 - each Kenwood TS2000 all band all mode. Good shape and bench checked. This radio has 160 through 10 meters as well as 50, 144, and 440 MHz.

It has one issue that needs to be addressed. The UHF band 430-450 only puts out 5 watts. In my research it may be that the radio needs a firmware update.

Includes power cord and hand microphone. $450.00 OBO.

1 - Yeasu FT-990. This radio was donated to ERA by Trevor. It is functional but has a intermittent issue of receive going out. It is believed that it is caused by dirty relays in the band switching section. It is priced accordingly.

The funds from this sale will go into the ERA account to help with expenses next year.?? $400.00 OBO.

Here is a link to the web site for more information.

Please contact me directly at kl7jgs at gmail.com

Re: voltmeters ordered

 

Sounds great thanks.

I would be glad to.

10 people have expressed an interest in one or more of them,

36 voltmeters for the power pole voltmeter project have been ordered.
They come from China, with a delivery estimate of dec 21 thru feb 19.

18 with red displays
18 with yellow displays

They are about $1.25 each.
More than I paid in the past, but still quite reasonable.

They are slightly smaller in size, so we will have to design a new case.

Bob, maybe you can do the case re-design & print the cases.
Will give you the files from the previous design, when I get them.

Made a couple of these in the last year.

Find them very handy when testing things.

Power Pole connectors on both ends, so it feeds through.

?

The meter is available for about 50 cents, if purchased in quantities of 10 or so.

My Grandson 3-d printed the case.

?

If there is interest, we could do an order for some of the little voltmeters.

Have some cases printed and sell it as a DIY kit at cost.

You supply the power poles.

Re: power pole voltmeter
