OAUSA Net - September 19, 2013 - Alternate Antenna Designs

[DaveK]

Our guest this week will be Chip Margelli, K7JA. Chip's expertise in Amateur radio makes him a highly sought-after speaker and a great source of Ham radio technical information. Tonight's net will concentrate on a topic of interest to all Hams - Antenna construction and some of the successful new designs for HF frequencies. Whether you are operating from home or the wilderness, this is a discussion that shouldn't be missed.

Some of you may remember Chip for his lightening performance on the Jay Leno show. If not, YOU MUST SEE THIS: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/80519289/ or http://videosift.com/video/Ham-Radio-Mo ... -Messaging.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

Anyone who has been on a camping trip for more than a couple of days knows the effects of hiking or wheeling in dusty and warm conditions. After a day on the trail, there are few things as refreshing as a hot shower. Unfortunately, in the wilderness, we seldom have any facilities, especially showers. This is where the Zodi Hot Tap portable hot shower comes in. It is packaged in a very compact hard plastic case, is reasonably priced, and best of all, it can warm the coldest water to produce a hot shower. The unit is well made and durable and backed by great customer service. Zodi stands by its products.

If you bring one on your next camping trip, expect that it will be used by everyone in your group! See: http://www.zodi.com/Consumer/zodihottaphpshower.html.
