cheap safe delivery?
What size safe are you getting and what obstacles will be an issue? I bought a Browning ProSteel AR34 many years ago and had to hire someone to move it and the price of the move was related to the amount of complexity they had to deal with. Mine was super easy, tho. I'm about to move so I'm... -

Amateur Radio FAQ
Look for "Top Race Drone Clip Remote Control Object Launcher" on Amazon. It's. $25 and the first one I got broke but they had free returns. It's cheap tech and you need to have good line of sight between your remote and the drone to trigger the solenoid. Mine worked generally well but started to...- vette97

Amateur Radio FAQ
I wish I could but you have some airspace restrictions I don't have here in Carroll. All airspace is categorized by the FAA and drones are required to follow those same rules. There is a 30 mile ring around DC which requires all aircraft to have a transponder. In Carroll, we have nearby...- vette97

Amateur Radio FAQ
I had a chance to think about this and it feels more like a domestic dispute that requires some sort of 3rd party intervention. You originally said that he was concerned about possible health issues and didn't care about the lights. He said he would do his own research. Now he is...- vette97

Amateur Radio FAQ
You can run a wire across a roof. Shingles wouldn't break it, but any closeness to the house is going to result in a lot more noise being picked up by the antenna, with the high probability that you're radiating RF into devices in the home. A lot of people install wires in the attic as well...- vette97

Amateur Radio FAQ
Don't trim this antenna. It doesn't have to be straight. Let it hang and that will be fine. Go around corners, over trees, whatever. I'm using an end fed and even when band conditions are poor it does well. I was able to work the Baker Island DXpedition in the South Pacific on 17m digital with...- vette97

Amateur Radio FAQ
You could log online using your logbook on QRZ.com. It will allow you to export an ADIF file to import into logging software later in life. When I'm portable, this helps keep track of things. Otherwise, I have WSJT/JTAlertX send my logs there automatically. It will also inter-operate with...- vette97

Amateur Radio FAQ
I agree. It would help to totally agree with him that he has a valid concern and that you wouldn't want anyone in your house harmed, as well. Give him a copy of your exposure calculations, along with a note that you'd be happy to help alleviate the touch-lamp issues, and even encourage him to...- vette97

Amateur Radio FAQ
That looks good. I built my own using poly-stealth, a 9:1 BalunDesigns balun, end insulator and when all said and done, I saved a few bucks over this. I can also work 160m without issue with mine. Yours is a decent deal for ready-made. I drone-installed my wire up over a tree so I have a run...- vette97
