In Episode #367, I joined Martin Butler (M1MRB), Edmund Spicer M0MNG, Ed Durrant DD5LP, and Leslie Butterfield G0CIB to discuss the following topics:
-
Georgia Club Donates License Manuals to Local Schools
This is a good story, but they donated ARRL license manuals, not my study guides! -
Norway is Trying to Track Down 2-Meter Intruders
This story is kind of vague as to who the intruders are. -
Amateur Radio Club Bands Together During Pandemic
It’s amazing that we’re still “banding together” nearly two years after the pandemic was declared. -
Boeing and Airbus Warn US over 5G Safety Concerns
No mention is made of any tests being run to determine if there actually could be some interference between 5G devices and aircraft avionics. -
Finland’s Radio Hams Send Gift to Icelandic Amateur Radio Operators
The gift is a beautiful paddle that’s being installed in the Icelandic Radio Association’s club station, and we all hope they will put it to good use.
This episode’s feature is Ham Radio Tips and Tricks 2022.
The 5G/airline mess seems to come down to receivers that are not robust against adjacent channel users. It annoys me that just because the airplane industry cheaped up on their receivers, because there wasn’t an adjacent user in the band, they now cry foul because they will have to upgrade their receivers to deal with something they should have designed for in the first place.
