Red River Radio Amateurs

What happens to all your stuff ❓

Some estimates show that nearly two-thirds of Americans don’t have a plan. For some, it’s procrastination. Others don’t know where to start. “So many times we hear from the family of a Silent Key who are overwhelmed with what to do with a lifetime worth of amateur radio gear,” said ARRL Director of Development Kevin Beal, K8EAL. “Simply thinking through what needs to be done ahead of time can prevent the stress on our loved ones after we are gone.”

On Thursday, July 11, 2024, ARRL® The National Association for Amateur Radio® joined The Weather Channel for a live chat about the value of amateur radio during hurricane season and beyond.

W2AEW has posted a short video on his YouTube channel showing some of his solo Field Day setup at the Guglielmo Marconi Memorial Park in Franklin Twp NJ - former site of the Marconi Wireless Corp East Coast transmitting station.

An introductory video by W2AEW describing how complex impedance and admittance are represented on the Smith Chart, and how to convert between them. Includes a demonstration using a [VNA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_analyzer_(electrical) to illustrate the complex impedance representation on a live smith chart with variable resistive and reactive components.)
