In order to trigger bank statements each and every month, one dollar is moved from
checking to savings. Online sweeps just miss the bank statements.
1/7/26 - Accepted donated equipment from Bill Gregg, KC4QHY. One Kenwood TS-450, Astron 20A power supply,
mechanical vibro keyer, and coax. I discarded the coax since it was unusable. The total equipment
listed for about $550 minimum on Ebay. I bought the keyer for $50 and set up a raffle for the rest.
--- Treasurer Trivia ---
The KA4UPC 234 rule for dipoles
Make your dipole legs with calculated lengths plus a little extra.
Be sure they are identical in length and gauge.
Use SWR sweep to find where it is "happy", even if outside the band (usually lower)
Divide this frequency (in Mhz) into 234 to get electrical length of each leg (in feet).
Now divide the desired frequency into 234 to get a new (usually shorter) electrical length.
Take the difference in electrical lengths off both ends of your antenna and it will be spot on.
Folding wire back on itself is as good as cutting, without cutting.
