Interested in a DIY LiFePO4 Battery Tester Project?
Does this project look interesting to anyone else? https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/11bvibl/i_made_a_battery_capacity_tester_with/ Wiring Diagram. I can't speak to the safety or credibility of the site, but none of the alarms in LibreWolfe or uBlock Origin went off. https://imgur.com/a/Lul6v1J RELATED: working my way through this Ham Radio Workbench podcast. https://www.hamradioworkbench.com/podcast/hrwb-218-18650-battery-tester-project-with-rick-kc6uft https://www.hamradioworkbench.com/articles.html Steve

FW: NC Amateur Radio Emergency Traffic 4
Just thought you might like to know about this if you want to hear some of what the ham operators are doing in NC Mike Coldiron Howell County Emergency Management Director 180 Kentucky Ave. West Plains Mo. 65775 Phone 417-255-0515 Fax 417-255-0514 Email howellcountyemd@... Secure email: Mike.coldiron@... From: Chris Gaut <cpgaut@...> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2024 8:55 AM To: Gaut, Chris <Chris.Gaut@...> Subject: This is what amateur radio is all about. Shared from discord. Sharing a message I was sharing in other venues because I think this group might find it interesting: > As I think most of you know, Western North Carolina is....really bad right now. No power and phones to most of the area. There's a lot of health and welfare traffic going over ham radio, because there really isn't anything else. > > A lot of this is being funneled through a repeater on Mt. Mitchell. There's a web stream of this repeater at https://www.broadcastify.com/webPlayer/43107 (this is normally a different repeater, but they remapped it). > > Here's your chance to listen to emergency communications live. I'm tuned in as I send this mail, and they have incoming requests coming in and net control is trying to find hams in specific areas to do welfare checks requested by family outside of the area. > > > Benjamin, WY2K Chris Flinn w8wot

APRS and Foxhunts 2
Not trying to horn in on anything - just a thought. . . . Using APRS for "search and rescue" or foxhunting. A team of foxhunters (searcher) would be around town (or search area), transmitting their location via APRS. The "mapper" would locate them on a map of the search area. When the searcher hears the beacon they would take a compass bearing and report that to the "mapper" who would draw a line on the map from the searchers location showing the reported bearing. When each searcher reports and their bearing are drawn on the map, where the lines cross would be the location of the beacon (or at least very close). (Disclaimer: I have never personally been foxhunting.) This would be an application of radio, communication and land-navigation skills. A WIN-WIN-WIN. We could have a "scavenger hunt" for beacons. Team that finds the most beacons in an allotted time wins. When my sister was in Civil Air Patrol they sometimes did search and rescue for downed aircraft. I have also seen APRS used to monitor cross country or marathon events. -

Club Meeting Tuesday at 6pm
Club Meeting Tuesday night at 6pm. Please join if you can. Vice President, Craig AE0WA will moderate this meeting as I'll be out of town for training this week. Chris KC0F will have an ARES meeting following and I believe he plans on talking about an APRS Digipeater he has set up at his residence, which I'm sorry I'm going to miss. APRS can be a lot fun and very useful in an emergency, so be sure attend his presentation. I'd love to see us use it in the future!! Eric
