Re: Looking for good user HF Rig
Brian - There is a cheap $475, FT- 991,
not A, on the QRZ Swapmeet - Ham Radio Gear for Sale.
It's only been on there a couple of days. Good price.
Here's the link if it works:
If it doesn't, just search the Ham radio gear search box for
FT-991.

Re: 2023 Annular Eclipse pictures
Nice work Tim.
We (HHZ, the fam and I) drove over to London TX (south of Mason) and with
my phone camera through the paper glasses filter, I got some shots, not
all lined up like yours, but we got the ring:
I bought a 12"x12" sheet of the film and this weekend will fit
it to my Meade 220 8" telescope, and using a mount I 3D printed,
will have my phone attached precisely to the eyepiece to get shots next
monday.
I took the day off, as this will probably be my only chance to experience
one, the next one over the USA is like 2040-something, who knows if Ill
make it that long.
(grandparents made it to 70, dad made it to 80, but Ill probably get hit
by an asteroid between now and then :-)? )

Re: KE5RS equipment came on the 146.84 Repeater non-stop until timeout
Hello Gene,
Thank you for that information.?
That is interesting on the 146.840 shows or announces it is ‘trying’ to connect.? I was not aware of the announcements on that end.? I have been trying to figure out a connection problem, why I am not able
to connect my repeater.
At my end, I see in a red banner, “Connecting” for about 10 seconds and then I get “Connection Failed”.
?
I had forgot some Echolink setup’s make announcements right on top of ongoing conversations.? My apologies, Arrggg
?

Your radio equipment transmitted over and over and over again? your callsign - without interruption, so nobody else could transmit for, I don't know, maybe a minute or so...until timeout.? You might want to check out your equipment.? This occurred at approx.
