Tram NMO to UHF adapter
Recently added to the Amazon club list
Tram 1296 NMO to UHF (SO239) Mobile Antenna Mount Adapter
?
For those of you that have NMO antenna mounts on their vehicles, this adapter will allow you to hook up a SO239 style antenna. This would also work if you wanted to connect your vehicle radio setup to an external antenna (ie tree mounted) without having to unscrew your coax from the back of the radio and nothing running out a window or door.

Elkhorn Relay Race Antenna supports
开云体育
Good evening all,
This afternoon, Kandi and I ran the course backwards putting up blow line(think hay bailing twine but about 1/3 the diameter), to hang antennas on for transition 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10.? The twine is blue and white, and has a florescent streamer on each end.? These
have my name and number on them as well.? These are to hang an antenna off of.? Untie both ends from where they are tied off, attach your antenna to the end that has the long streamer with my name.? Then pull on the end with the short streamer, to lift your
antenna.? Mind you, please attach your coax before lifting the antenna.? You do not need to reach the top, just up far enough to make good communication.
If you have other means for getting an antenna up at these locations, you are free too. But most of these 5 locations will need to be up at about 15-20 ft.??
WHEN DONE at the location(whether or not you use it), please take the blow line assembly down and dispose of it appropriately.? I never re-use the product.? If you want it, feel free.? But PLEASE do not leave them in the woods.?
Thank you all so much? for your work in this event.? ?I want to thank Kandi, for all of her help today!? Also, a special shout out to TED N7NSL for responding to me on the air,? and keeping track of us.
Be safe, and have fun tomorrow!
de KK7MA and Kandi.

Re: Union county fair booth
开云体育I only recommended next year, because of the short time span prior to the event, but if there are others that have the time and means, to attempt to get it setup.... Although this should go through a discussion, at least, via the board, prior to anyone doing anything.? It should be sanctioned by the board. Sorry for not mentioning that in the last message.? de KK7MA Michael Abernathy La Grande, Oregon -------- Original message -------- From: "KK7MA, Mike" <mike@...> Date: 6/26/24 07:59 (GMT-08:00) Subject: Re: [W7GRA Members] Union county fair booth David,? I think it's been about a half dozen years since we've been out at the fair. There is always a way to get an antenna up! Lol. Thank you for bringing this up!? To everyone, Given the recent results with our attendance at the gun show. And that we might be able to negotiate terms of us setting up a booth, (ie insurance requirements, we may have to compare their requirements to what our insurance covers) maybe we can revisit the topic for attempting to be at next year's fair??? We need to weight costs vs over all outcome...? Maybe even come up with a way to recover the cost of going down there, and make a little money for the club at the same time?! I think we need to take into consideration, the individual enjoyment of those running the booth(are people able to keep warm and cool, and how much public interaction).? If we were to do it, would we consider getting a contest call? Or would we appreciate the extra contacts on our own call?? Just a few thoughts, I am sure there are plenty more questions and concerns!
