Mike, KF7AME, appreciates comments on previous shows about how difficult it may be for new hams to afford new equipment. We’ve all been there, and wire antennas are cheap and effective.Barry, K4RUE, also a recently licensed ham, enjoys the show and the music.George, N0JRJ, likes the podcast and listens on his commute. He also liked the live show, and appreciates Richard’s attitude toward new hams.Kirk, KG6HPF, says Resonant Frequency helped inspire him to pass his General exam.Lance, K7LDS, suggests that the show notes be updated to include website URLs and other information. He also suggests that interaction with the chat room during the live show be made more descriptive for folks listening to the recorded version. Lance suggests doing a future show on mobile radio installation hints. Good idea! Send in your mobile installation hints via email or the forum.

25:21 Topic: Conductor diameter versus frequency.Richard once suggested to Bob, KC5JTF, that he could assemble an antenna similar to theArrow dual-band VHF/UHF antenna from rifle cleaning rods. This prompted a discussion abouthow “broad banded” such an antenna might be, and how conductor size affects the usablefrequency range of an antenna.

45:18 Song: “You Gonna Wreck My Life”, by Too Slim and the Taildraggers, also from their album”Time to Live”. http://www.iodapromonet.com/landing_page.php?promo_id=218864

19:20 Topic: Everyone assumes everyone else has the same equipment or can afford such equipment. There are lots of ways to get equipment, and it takes time to accumulate a station. Building wire antennas is a great way to learn and is inexpensive.

12:42 Song: “Sam Lay Shuffle” by Sam Lay And His Appaloosa All-Stars, from the album “Live on BealeStreet”.

15:08 Topic:

One of the questions that came up at Field Day was about a fellow’s dipole antenna, a G5RV. What’s the best height and does it have to be a straight, flat dipole? How does the ground affect things? Most wire antennas are a compromise in one respect or another. What about NVIS (near-vertical incident skywave)?

29:31 Song: “Ever Be Here Again” by Kelly Joe Phelps, from the album “Lead Me On (15 Year Anniversary Edition)”

33:36 Conclusion:

Thanks everyone for your mentions on blogs, sharing the podcasts, etc.Look for Resonant Frequency Live in the near future. If you’re interested in joining the show, via the chat room, or voice, please join us. Watch Twitter and the web sitesfor announcements.Send in your Field Day stories!
