FLRIG on Raspberry Pi4 as RTX Director for Mac OS apps
I’ve recently introduced a Raspberry PI 4 as main remote RTX controller for my Kenwood TS-590s. This allows me to control the Kenwood TS-590S from the iMac simultaneously with several applications, including RUMLOG, FLDIGI, WSJT-X. The issue Could not control simultaneously my transceiver directly from two or more applications. Additionally remote connection from the internet…

The Clemens Match
The Clemens match is easy to make and reliable, and is preferable to a single Gamma match as it is balanced. I was first introduced to the Clemens match by G4IGO several years ago, Ken builds his in a slightly different way by putting the capacitor at the feeder end and connecting the far end…

Halo for 6 meters band
A good antenna that can be used for the car as well as the house is an HALO. This antenna maintains good omni-directional horizontal polarization. Basically the antenna is a half wave dipole bent into a circle,BUT shorter than a dipole for this frequency. The circumference is 60-70 inches. By useing the gamma match (see…
6m J-Pole by WB5CXC
Use a 54” piece of 450 ohm Ladder line. Cut out 3 inches of the center part of the ladder line. Solder a PL-259 on the bottom of the Ladder Line (both side of the ladder line will solder on the ground side of the PL-259 – this is used for the shorted part of…

J-pole Antenna Revisited Yet Again
I recently had a conversation on the radio with another Ham who had built a 6 Meter wavelength band “J” antenna. He was getting some rather strange performance from this design, so I asked him where or how he had come up with the antennas dimensions. He referenced an Internet web page to me where…
