Not Getting It
ARRL announced today that they have filed comments with the FCC requesting a dismissal of the Petition for Declaratory Ruling filed by New York University (NYU) regarding digital encoding and encryption. This petition basically claims that proprietary and closed protocols like PACTOR violate current FCC rules, an opinion I've had for several years. I think … Continue reading Not Getting It

Is the ARRL Listening About Shipping? Or is it just me…
A few months ago, I challenged the ARRL's new mission to serve members in a more effective way by bringing "value" to members. I suggested that one quick "win" would be to stop selling through Amazon (at a 55% discount) and use that money-per-book to fund "free shipping" for members who purchase books. Many readers […]

WAVES AND PROPAGATION: PART 2 — RADIO HORIZON

Not only hams can take advantage of radio propagation — everybody has a chance to experience some very interesting ways of interacting with the natural world through wireless.

In Part 1, we covered a batch of basics on waves and propagation: definitions of terms, and some fundamentals of how waves travel about. Not only hams can take advantage of radio propagation — everybody has a chance to experience some very interesting ways of interacting with the natural world through wireless. Let's put that know-how to work!

Try It Now!

TRANSLATIONAL REALITY INTERFACES
Explore one new way of interacting with embedded systems, smart devices, and the Internet of Things by using a translational reality interface.

At the forefront of technological development today are smart devices, IoT, simulation, and virtual and augmented reality. Extensions of these technologies — in the form of a translational reality interface — can be used to create interfaces that translate the interaction of one device to the interaction of another remote device. This way, you can complete tasks by simply following your usual activities of daily living, rather than having to take time to learn how to use a new device.

Discover It Now!

ADJUSTABLE ELECTRONIC LOAD USING INCANDESCENT LAMPS
To properly test a power supply, an adjustable load is just the ticket. See how I saved some of my light bulbs from extinction by using them as visual indicators in this adjustable electronic load.

An adjustable electronic (power) load is a very handy piece of test equipment in the development of electronics projects. For example, when you're building a power supply, there will come a time when you need to "simulate" a load to see how well your design performs. To properly test a power supply, an adjustable load is just the ticket. See how I saved some of my light bulbs from extinction by using them as visual indicators in this adjustable electronic load.

WAVES AND PROPAGATION: PART 1
Radio and wireless are all about waves and how they link distant points together. Learn about RF propagation, which is the way radio signals get from Point A to Point B.

One key element of ham radio is propagation — the way radio signals get from Point A to Point B. Lots of projects involve wireless links, so it behooves the builder to have a bit of an idea about how propagation works. After all, with so many choices available, you need information to understand your requirements for choosing the right technology and installing it properly. We'll start with some basics of radio waves, then get them bouncing around.

DAVID SARNOFF AND THE BIRTH OF THE AM RADIO
Sarnoff was one of the pioneers of the era of mass communications.

Sarnoff would take radio out of the exclusive province of the transportation industry and embryonic ham radio hobbyists, and put it into every American home. There it would share space with the other appliances that the inventors of the early 20th century were delivering to increasing numbers of consumers. His stubborn pursuit of technology turned his employer, Radio Corp. of America, into a powerhouse in less than a decade. Sarnoff was one of the pioneers of the era of mass communications, transforming America from a nation of local newspapers and pamphleteers into an era where brute technological force allowed a handful of networks of, first, radio stations to flourish, and then television, to create a near-uniform electronic mass media.

LHS Episode #310: DMR Deep Dive

Welcome to Episode 310 of Linux in the Ham Shack. In this episode, the hosts take an in-depth look at the world of Digital Mobile Radio, otherwise known as DMR. It's a topic that could take volumes or multiple episodes but the idea here is to give you enough information to understand the basics [...]

RESISTORS: TYPES AND APPLICATIONS
An ohm is an ohm, right? Not so fast — there are many different types of resistors.

An ohm is an ohm, right? Not so fast — there are many different types of resistors. To insure that your circuit works and stays working, use the right type of resistor. In this article, you'll learn about the common types of resistors and their special characteristics.

BUILD THE RETRO REGEN RADIO

This back-to-the-future one-tube radio is made with readily available parts, operates on 12 volts, and offers amazing performance.

In the fast moving world of digital electronics, I find it incredible that the vacuum tube — a piece of early 20th century analog technology — has managed to survive. It should have bitten the dust long ago but that just did not happen. This back-to-the-future one-tube radio is made with readily available parts, operates on 12 volts, and offers amazing performance.

Publishing a Book: Print and eBook

Over time, I have written several electrical engineering books (see electronic-measurement.com). These books were written in the dead-trees print model, focused on creating a book that you can hold in your hand. I recently published VHF, Summits and More in both print and ebook editions. This was a learning process for me and I've come … Continue reading Publishing a Book: Print and eBook →
