I want to sit in the warm house and drink an adult beverage. So I am thinking about teaching non-shooting classes somewhere between Grand JunctionContinue reading “Winter Classes”

I was doing some testing using an analog radio, a tablet with a BtechAPRS-K1 cable, and a yagi antenna against the Uniden BCD436HP connector to my Tram 1410 discone antenna at 15ft in elevation. The Uniden BCD436HP close call feature picks up analog very quickly. Usually within a second or so. My goal was toContinue reading “BTECH APRS-K1 Cable”

Being able to operate at night W/O NODS is mandatory for a small group. You could easily loose or break your delicate electronic night vision devices and then what?

I’m always looking for different, new to me, usable technology. Somewhere along the line I stumbled into Meshtastic Mesh Networks. This is basically the same as Gotenna but not running on the MURS bands and not near as expensive. What is Meshtastic? From their website: “Meshtastic lets you use inexpensive (~$30/board) GPS radios as extensibleContinue reading “Meshtastic Mesh Network”

You will be learning and using a one time pad. You will be put up against a SIGINT teamContinue reading “TACCOMMS CLASS”

You would be surprised the amount of amateur radio operators who do not have offgrid power solution for their home stations. The idea of amateur radio is for use during an emergency but if you can only run your station while the electricity is on it doesn’t do you much good in a real emergencyContinue reading “Building an Offgrid Ham Station at Home.”
