  Thursday evening at 8:00 PM local time starting November 2000 using the Elyria Repeaters in Elyria, Ohio 146.700 linked together with 444.80 and 53.13 technical discussion revolving around radio station equipment and computer hardware takes place and is an insight to many listeners and participants who have questions regarding troubleshooting techniques. This net has been growing since the 1980's, the primary net controller Sandy W8KYS has shared experiences with his years of exposure to many compound radio frequency devices. With help from Tom W8KYS and the rest of the NOARS crew, the discussions on the net include topics of electrical safety, tower design, antenna building, troubleshooting high SWR, noise filtering, station grounding, mobile mounting complications, battery and fuse safety, vacuum tube principles, complicated antenna regulations, tuning coils, and output tank circuits. Other stations join in to share ideas with the group.  Since the beginning
of the personal computer tying into amatuer radio station hardware, questions
of this nature have always come up. This has prompted computer friendly
operators to join in and share their knowledge solving what for many was
unknown "black-box" technology and previously mis-understood.
These nets begin as a check-in period with a second round for questions
and then open up as open forum to relieve the net controller so he can
make notes.To return to the net page CLICK HERE Home Page, Club History page, Club Officers, USS Cod Page, Field Day Page, Amateur Radio links, Hamfest Page, December Banquet, Newsletter, Browser testing Created by Virden "Clark" Beckman N8PZD copywritten N.O.A.R.S. |
