Seems the consensus is to use N connectors so I will move forward with those. I also just received my DEMI transverter and WA2ODO preamp and both of them have N connector fittings. My fiberglass boom material should be here by the end of the day and the antennas will be here tomorrow. Im really gettin' stoked now. Thanks for everyones input-Bob-W0YBS -- Thanks Bob Sauvan-W0YBS rsauvan(a)beyondbb.com http://w0ybs.com

Re: [Moon-Net] Winding resistance of Yaesu G-550 or 5500 elevation rotor

by Edward R Cole

Same happened to my Ham-IV rotator. I bought a new Ham-IV as replacement and probably could have just replaced the cap. Note this is AC voltage so cap needs to be non-polarized. I found a 125 uF 100v cap at NAPA Auto Parts and hooked into the rotator cable rather than install inside the control unit. Suspect Yaesu is similar. Most run with 26vac to rotator motor. Ham-IV is 30vac/2.25A = 13 ohm but I see about half that with ohmmeter (two windings). 73, Ed - KL7UW At 08:23 AM 2/27/2019, Baris DINC via Moon-net wrote: >Hi, > >Mine did same..

Re: [Moon-Net] 432 WAC list

by VA3ELE Peter

Hi all, I completed a mixed mode WAC in 2017,but, never applied for a certificate. I think I'm sailing the same boat as many others. Congrats to anyone who did complete theirs in CW or DIGI or MIXED, we all have our struggles to attain each level. Not all have acre+ lots to put up big arrays or dishes, even though I'm sure many would if they could. This doesn't make it a lesser achievement. Be happy they are on and enjoying the HOBBY as we are very happy to have the big guns to work our little stations. Just my 2¢ worth. 73 de Peter VA3ELE FN03dm Upcoming: VE2TWO ZONE 2 MICROWAVE EME & METEOR SCATTER EXPEDITION June 28 - July 7, 2019 Radisson, Quebec, Canada FO13et EME - 23, 13, 9 & 6cm MS - 6 & 2m ops: VA3TO, VE2UG and VA3ELE FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/998896550301418/

Re: [Moon-Net] 432 WAC list

Also, w0yzs was Mike Vestel. Check with k0tlm for details.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device------ Original message------From: VE7PS via Moon-netDate: Tue, Feb 26, 2019 20:05To: moon-net(a)mailman.pe1itr.com;Cc: Subject:Re: [Moon-Net] 432 WAC list Not sure who is maintaining this list, but VE7BBG's listing is incorrectly listed as John Pringle, the current holder of the callsign. It was Cor Maas (SK-2011) that achieved WAC 432 Mhz #5 with the callsign VE7BBG in 1976. Please correct your list!

Please note that there are a number of dates that are approximate based on old newsletters or hearsay, and they are marked in RED. As a consequence, the "number list" is approximate at best except for K2UYH. The 2017 and later listings are in green because the recipients all notified me directly by email when their certificates arrived. There are some older recipients who also sent me pix of their certificates to verify the date, but to be honest I didn't track which ones did so and so they are listed in black. Of course, the actual number order in which a 432 WAC was received doesn't really amount to much..... except for Number 1, of course! (Congrats, Al!) So, who will be #42? 73, Paul, K4MSG _______________________________________________ Moon-Net posting and subscription instructions are at http://www.nlsa.com/nets/moon-net-help.html Virus-free. www.avg.com

Thomson 28v 80A power supply

by Philippe Mondon

Hallo Group! Not ON for sometime... So sad to read about DL6WU... We all know about Günter's great formula and work, and so, he will always be part of our shack, and array reaching the moon...and in our mind... ...I have been given this kind of PS 28v 80A, and don't know how to start it safe. It was equipping TV and FM broadcast PA etc... Reference i have is "power supply type 902615 S" and under the sticker is 921.563 One local said to me that the 2 free pins available on the output connector have to be connected together. That is what i tried. Fan started. But after a few 30s or so, the main power of house got out... I did not try again, as if main goes off from house, there is a problem... I had NO load on the 28v. Anyone knows about this power supply? This was 24h/365d on, so might be a good PS for my coming 23cms PA. Tks in advance... Waiting to qso you on 23 soon from here! Vy73 - Phil - FR5DN
