I am a newbie on this site, and my intention is not to dilute the purpose of this forum by any means. I found this site because I was surfing Youtube and found a video from readiopreppers.com   - love the flag by the way :D.   I have been part of a Emergency Communication group in Canada. We have the bold plan to use relatively easy to aquire CB Radio but specifically on Side Band and wanting to mesh all the members across Canada. That group has members in the states and also in the UK etc.  thanks to Generous SKIP and a bit of amplification :D

Trying to figure if Facebook group got smoked, or if it's just me.  Haven't been here for a while, and it's certainly more civilized here anyhow.

Hello All, 

New to this forum.  The name is Jeffrey and I am from the Gold Country of Northern California in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. 

My question regards making a 4:1 balun using the 82-43's for a say 20w set up.  I would be using this to construct Rybakov style antennas for portable operations.

Would one or two 82-43's be needed to handle the watts going through using say 22g wire or maybe even something lighter like 26 or 28g wire.

I suppose I am asking what are the parameters for this sort of mini balun/unun for slightly above QRP work?

Thanks in advance.

Jeffrey

Thank you Gil! the manual is huge help.

Would you know of any source to get the Speaker, like the one in your video? I'd like to find the whip antenna that goes with this. Or any other accessories? I really dig that speaker.

Thank you for everything you do, and I really enjoy watching your videos.

Merry Christmas!

Here in the USA we have been experiencing significant delays in banking transfers ESPECIALLY PAYROLL DEPOSITS. With the multi-year impacts of job killing COVID restrictions, inflation/weakened buying power and more, this is very significant damage to many Americans' home budgets. 

This is a key reason to keep some cash in locally useful currency, a source of safe drinking water, and food on the shelf with a way to prepare it.. If you have a bug-out location in mind, ensure that you have fuel to get there at all times.  Sitting in a potentially hostile long gas line is a bad plan.

This video shows how to make a antenna for VHF with duct tape. A very good idea for a backpack.


Enjoy.

I just got my irish Ham license and am travelling to France next week, Ile de Re to be exact. I was wondering are there any repeaters on the Island or should I just connect to the one in La Rochelle?

Merci,

Paul

Check with your license to see if you are able to transmit with a reciprocal license in France. Some countries want you to register with them in case of "problems" with having a non licenced amateur (in theory) operating in their country.

Hello Paul.

Can't seem to find anything on repeaterbook.com
