ONGOING HARASSMENT BY A LOCAL HAM ON THE INTERNET AND RADIO REPEATERS

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS ONGOING HARASSMENT, BULLYING, HATE SPEECH, HATE CRIME, SLANDER, LIBEL, DEFAMATION, DISGUSTING, DEROGATORY, LIES, LIES, LIES  AGAINST ME BY THIS INDIVIDUAL.
HIS CONSTANT STREAM OF DELUSIONAL LIES, HATE, FALSEHOODS, FAKE NEWS CONTINUE AND I AM SURPRISED AS TO HIS CREATIVITY.
THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND AGAINST OTHER HAMS.
WE WERE FRIENDS AT ONE TIME AND THEN HE STARTED HAVING ISSUES. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HIM AND ENJOYED OUR FRIENDSHIP AS HE HAS DONE A LOT FOR THE DMR RADIO COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, I CANNOT MAINTAIN A FRIENDSHIP WITH AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS SO MUCH HATE.
SINCE, WE WERE FRIENDS I KNOW WHERE HE LIVES, I HAVE HIS TELEPHONE NUMBER, I KNOW HIS GIRLFRIENDS NAME, I KNOW HIS PETS NAME, I KNOW HE IS A VEGAN, I KNOW WHERE HE USED TO WORK. WE WERE FRIENDS AT ONE TIME.
YES, THIS IS HOW FRIENDS TREAT EACH OTHER.
RECENTLY HE HAS TARGETTED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.
THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE AUTHORITIES AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
HE LIVES IN TORONTO AND IS ACTIVE WITH ALL THESE CALLSIGNS AND HAS BEEN RUNNING A COMPLEX CAMPAIGN AGAINST ME.
HE IS STARTING A HAM RADIO CLUB WITH HIS CLOSE FOLLOWERS. LET’S SEE HOW THAT GOES.
HE IS WELL KNOWN IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
HE IS PROPAGATING THIS HATE SPEECH AND CRIME THROUGH VARIOUS BLOGS THAT HE CONTROLS AS HE IS IN THE CLICK FOR MONEY BUSINESS AND TARGETS INDIVIDUALS TO CREATE DRAMA IN ORDER TO DRIVE WEB SITE TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO GENERATE REVENUE.
IN ORDER TO HAVE HIM STOP THE SAME ACTIVITY WITH OUR RADIO CLUB I HAD RESIGNED FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT POSITION. I ALSO HAD RESIGNED DUE TO THE STRESS OF THIS HARASSMENT CAUSING HEALTH ISSUES.
MANY HAMS HAVE TRACKED DOWN THIS JAMMING ACTIVITY TO HIS TWO LOCATIONS. HE EVEN JAMS HIMSELF BECAUSE IT MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE A VICTIM.
I DON’T CARE WHO DOES WHAT ON THE RADIO WAVES AS IT IS NOT MY JURISDICTION, BUT I DO CARE WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL STARTS HARASSING ME AND MY FAMILY. HE HAS HARASSED OTHERS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR ANYONE THAT SPEAKS OUT AGAINST HIM.
I HAVE BEEN TO THE POLICE STATION IN HIS COMMUNITY SEVERAL TIMES TO LODGE COMPLAINTS AGAINST HIM.
THEY ARE MONITORING THE SITUATION WITH INTEREST.

Packtenna in the Wild

Thanks to George at Packtenna for a development kit to try out

I am very pleased with the performance of the the 3 baluns I made and my operations on 20m and above

The approach to get as much wire in the air helps make more contacts because its a 20m dipole at full length of 32 feet not a shorter antenna

I have the shorter antennas and they all serve a purpose but if I can get a dipole up then my antenna is more efficient

I have to make my baluns protected with a full heat shrink but i am very pleased with the performance

The standard T-200 toroid is NOT the best choice it seems and with my focus on 20m and up operation the -63 mix is better

Check out Packtenna.com

In this demo its just a silly 20m dipole but the brilliance is in the balun and the pcb board

the excellent and well designed 1:1 balun

My tripod and mast system gets it up quickly and efficiently

CQ DX...

Nite EZe and orange paracord is a blessing

Get orange paracord. The black stuff just means that you will walk into it unless you are trying to be covert

Bingo the match is spot on...just follow the instructions and measure twice and cut once

Ozzipole Antenna Build Out - DIY

The lads down under came up with the Kangaroo version of a Buddipole with a interesting design twist. These guys down under never sleep when it comes to creativity in the world of antennas

Naturally, as an antenna experimenter I just HAD to build this vegamite version

Here is the canuck version and it took a few iterations in the waterfall design methodology to get it right

Its a great antenna and after finding the sweet spot I was able to make some quick contacts into Europe and South America and yeah several K6, N3 and K5s

The antenna is a keeper and sits in the Buddipole, Pac-12 and Packtenna hall of fame

The whip element i used was 48" with radio shack whip

attached to my MSR mast with custom mount

I chose to use a binding post approach for antenna connections in case i decided to toss the antenna. The antenna passed the ve3ips tests

I love hardware stores and the center mount is available in your electrical section

A 8 foot antenna is a joke on 40m so i did not make these winding's with a focus on 20m and up

Nirvana is achieved right out of the box for the 20m qrp cw calling frequency....qrz??

Once I got a baseline swr it took 3 minutes to nail it down and blip out a CQ on the qrp cw channel.

I have pdf versions of the ozzipole antenna available if you wish to build one as the kits have gone qrt...just email me for a copy

I had a good go with this antenna pushing out 20watts on the yaesu 857d making easy contacts on 20m and 10m

I had a super kerchunk into the clubs 6m repeater once I took the pocket tape measure to get the 54" figured out but my antenna analyzer is not 6m equipped

The Yaesu 857D is the standard for operations beyond the 5w qrp. Let's call it MQRP for medium power QRP at 20 watts

Motorola SATCOM Terminal LST-5B

When you need to get a message out this is the way to go!

SATCOM/TACSAT Portable Antenna for your own Zero Dark Thirty

The SATCOM Communication system requires a specialized antenna that offers a right hand polarized method for improved reception. The satellites are also geostationary so for better reception you must have the tactical antenna pointed at the desired satellite within your reception footprint.

Thats why you see the comms guy pull out his tacsat antenna and point it where needed out in the field.

A popular antenna is the Dorne & Margolin DMC-120  which offers 6db of gain

My portable version offers similar gain and robustness, however it is not easily field packable. I magnetic mobile mount is still on the drawing board.

Either antenna is ideal for the Motorola LST-5B lightweight satellite terminal

Portable Operations from the Back Deck

Here is a simple easy to grab and go radio set up.

The foundation is the battery box.

I have a 12A 12V  SLA mounted inside and added a 4 pole anderson pole on the side.

I also added a 3/8" female stud antenna mount and ground/radial binding post. I can now connect my Buddistick or Hustler RM17 antenna to the box.

In order to accommodate the Elecraft KX3, I made up a shelf assembly and added a front foot to stabilize the box.

My list of improvements are to:

 Add a higher capacity battery to power a FT857D possibly
Add a USB socket with voltage monitor
Add a collapsible antenna that fits in the box
Add a magnetic mic holder
Add a light for night time log keeping and operating
