SCHEART will be offering Ham (Amateur) Radio classes in September of 2024. This is for Technician, General and Extra. All classes will be running from?September 23rd through 27th?from 6pm to 9pm. Some classes will not take the whole week but will finish when all the material is covered. These classes run concurrently. You can only choose one of the classes. They¡¯re presenting the classes by video conference using Zoom (?) If you didn¡¯t have the time to attend in person before, now is your chance. Email them at?midlandsve@.... Make sure you include which class you want. They will forward your email address to your instructors. They will send you an invitation to the video conference. New hams must start out with the Technician course. All classes are free. If you wish to attend, RSVP to?MidlandsVE@....

Testing will be offered on?September?28th at 08:30 am at SCETV headquarters, 1041 George Rogers Blvd in Columbia.? They¡¯ll take care of the administrative work first and start the testing at when the admin work is done. Bring a photo ID, an original and copy of any Ham Radio license, your FRN and $10.00 cash. If a child is testing and has no photo I.D., bring a copy of a birth certificate. Also, once the FCC processes your application, they will want an additional $35.00.? If you are testing for the first time, you must bring your FCC Registration Number (FRN), which you can get here: If you¡¯re coming for testing only, email them so they can plan accordingly.

SK Sale - pick up in North Augusta
Hi all- I am K4FKJ 's ("Dick" Schoenfelder's) grandson.?
?
He passed away 3 weeks ago, and I have been tasked with liquidating his ham radio collection. I was always his tech guy, when it came to his computer, or Amazon fire stick, and kept his home in top shape, but I was never privy to the HAM side of things. One of the things that fascinated me as a young man was riding shotgun with him while he had his Bencher going to work on the console of his truck, and the ability to transcribe whatever message came back in Morse code. I was a pretty smart kid, but even I could not wrap my head around at all.
Do not reply to this post - email
?
In all of my research, a majority of what filled his garage is now considered a "boat anchor", but for the items he kept in his home- I am certain they have value.? What I am setting out to do is to offer the good items as a bundle here before selling off the equipment piece by piece on eBay, as I don't want the headache of shipping If I can avoid it.?
?
All of the equipment with the exception of the Sattcon 05 has been tested and operates, or otherwise appears to be new in the box.
The equipment in the bundle includes:?
?
SGC MAC-200
Amcomm BSM-15C
Kenwood TS-2000
Diamond Antenna SX-100
Kenwood SP-23
Astron RS-35A
Bencher BY-1
Recency ACT-R10
Heil GM4 Goldline Mic and stand
Kenwood HS-4 Headphones?
Kenwood TM-261A
Sattcon 05- (lcd screen appears to be busted, not sure of shape of unit)?
Yaesu FT-2800M
All cables, and cords have been kept with the respective equipment, and will be included. There are also a few handheld units that are included.??
Asking $3000 obo.?
?
Must pick up in North Augusta, SC.
?
?
He also has a tower that will need to come down. This was passed on to me by a member of the local radio club to post here.?
------
Tower, rotor, controller and antennas of K4FKJ (SK)
?
Tower consists of several Rohn 45 sections as a base with a custom mount at top which is bolted to a custom hinge which holds a length of several Rohn 25 sections.
?
The 25 sections are counterweighted and can be hinged over to allow antenna work on the ground.?
?
You have to take it down, which may involve working on rooftop. You must have proper safety belt, etc. Price = FREE
------
I can provide photos of the tower and home if requested.?
?
directly.

Interested in Morse Code?
An ezine I subscribe to has a very good article on morse code operating this month. If you have ever thought about becoming more proficient in the Morse language you would find it interesting. The article is "Conversational Morse" and the ezine is "K9YA_Telegraph". As usual, there are several interesting articles each month.
