Tomorrow is the third Monday. Our regular face to face meeting at Braum's will occur at 7pm. Please invite anyone interested to attend. Tom Yturri

With the weather forecasted to be very cold Monday night, and at least 3 of us are not planing on going to Braums for our monthly ice cream, I would suggest to delay our meeting for a week until the next Monday the 27th. What do the rest of you all think? Don

I won’t be able to join the net tonight. 73 Dave N3CI

Looks like yeasu is coming out with a new QRP rig. https://qrper.com/2024/08/the-yaesu-ftx-1f-portable-hf-transceiver-yaesus-replacement-for-the-venerable-ft-818-and-ft-817/ The Yaesu FTX-1F Portable HF Transceiver: Yaesu’s replacement for the venerable FT-818 and FT-817 August 23, 2024 Thomas Witherspoon 50 Comments Many thanks to Gavin (GM0WDD) who notes that ML&S have posted a product page for the new Yaesu FTX-1F. I was curious what new product announcements might come out of the Tokyo Ham Fair 2024–this is exciting news, indeed. The following specs and details all come from Martin Lynch and Sons: The new FTX-1F will be available early 2025. The new FTX-1F is a portable transceiver utilizing SDR technology and provides 6W of power output with the 5670mAh Lithium-ion battery pack (Which enables 9-hours stand-alone operating time on the HF bands, SSB mode, and 8-hours operating time on the V/UHF bands, FM mode based on a 6-6-48 duty cycle). Up to 10W of power output is available when using an external DC power supply. FTX-1F – True All-Rounder HF/50/144/430MHz All Mode Field Transceiver Providing stand-alone 9-hours of operation This information and the sample shown at HAM FAIR 2024 are only the preliminary introduction. Detailed information will be announced at a later date. A number of the fundamental and remarkable features of the new FTX-1F are: Operation in SSB, CW, AM, FM and C4FM digital modes SDR Technology and 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream) on a 4.3-inch high-resolution full-color touch display panel Two independent receiver circuits provide true simultaneous dual-band operation, whether in the same band or in different bands. For example: SSB communication on HF bands simultaneously with C4FM digital communication on V/UHF bands (*HF+V, HF+U, V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V) Two Loud speakers ensure clear and powerful audio output An optional Automatic Antenna Tuner can be attached to the rear of the transceiver with the 5670mAh high-capacity Li-ion battery pack. The optional Cooling-fan, which is necessary for comfortable FT8 operation, can also be combined with the antenna tuner. (All-in-one rear panel design) RF front-end and Low Noise Reference Oscillator, enable Phenomenal Multi-signal Receiving characteristics Effective QRM rejection afforded via High-speed 32-bit IF DSP (YAESU’s renowned interference reduction systems: SHIFT / WIDTH / NOTCH / CONTROUR / APF / DNR / NB) Compatible with WiRES-X operation PMG (Primary Memory Group) function can register and monitor up to 5 frequently used frequencies MAG (Memory Auto Grouping) function enables Memory Channels to be categorized in each band that can be quickly recalled by band groups (HF/VHF/UHF/AIR/OTHERS) USB ports support CAT operation, audio input/output and TX control The new FTX-1F will be available early 2025. Please be ready for this forthcoming exciting new radio!

Tonight at 7pm is our CARC Monday night meeting at the Choctaw Braum’s.

This is the bill that is coming up to vote on to help those who live in a HOA. 80% of all homes are in an HOA, so a lot of hams are restricted what they can do for communications. Who knows you might have to move into an HOA one of these days and need it for yourself. Don --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you are likely aware, there are two bills before Congress which will protect amateur radio antennas from overly restrictive HOA rules and covenants, HR 4066 and SB 3690. John Stratton, N5AUS, West Gulf Division Director has initiated a letter writing campaign for the West Gulf Division. For those of us in Oklahoma, we need to contact our respective Senators and House members to encourage their support of these measures. The bills have a goodly amount of bipartisan support for this issue and we must strike while the soldering iron is hot! We need Congress to approve these bills, and we need your help as an individual amateur radio operator to help encourage our Oklahoma legislators to take action to pass them. To download the pre-formatted letters, go to https://ok.arrl.org/hoa/. Scroll down and select the appropriate 'individual letter/s'. Remember, you would need to prepare letters for BOTH Senators as well as you Representative. Please print out a letter for each Senator and your specific Representative. Please click each name and modify the letter for your information. Print the documents, sign them (three total, 2 Senators, 1 Representative) in BLUE pen, scan them in color, and email them to n5hzr@.... Or, mail the papers to Mark Kleine, PO Box 817, Norman, OK 73070-0817. Time is of the essence!!! We need to get these letters into the hands of our Congressional delegation ASAP!!!
