/*Green Roving in a Red Rover */
Wayne Overbeck, N6NB

http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/Launch.aspx?PBID=604160a2-6442-4ed0-9695-2e753da4eb98Longtime
ham and VHF roving contest participant Wayne Overbeck, N6NB, describes
how he switched from using gas-guzzlingvans and trucks to a
battery-powered Chevy Bolt. He mounted a 10-band microwave station on
the roof of the subcompact car and hit the road. Environmental concerns
prompted himto make the change, and he's been happy with it.

But there were some special considerations that had to be made, and
Wayne goes into those in detail. In addition to planning your route
around recharging stations, you should not plug your radio equipment
into the car's batteries, lest you void the vehicle's warranty. Wayne
found that his new car was a great way to rove, while also being
environmentally friendly.

Moving up to the General- and Extra-class licenses is a huge step
forward for a budding ham radio operator. A whole new world opens up,
including the privilege of using the HF bands. But you will also need an
HF radio, and the choices can be overwhelming.

Learn what to look for when shopping for an HF radio, including the
benefits of a receiver with software defined radio (SDR) technology,
which has revolutionized amateur radio. The article also offers advice
about using the /QST/ Product Reviews to learn about different models of
radio.

element design. The theory behind those changes is outlined, and there
are detailed descriptions of how the antenna and supporting equipment
were set up.

*Support the W1AW Endowment Fund*

http://www.arrl.org/w1aw-endowment-fundThe Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial
Station tells the story of amateur radio. It uses Maxim's revered call
sign, W1AW, and is the home of "Old Betsy," the spark-gap transmitter he
built more than 100 years ago. Today, the station is a modern facility
that is on the air every day.

This valuable resource needs your help. Maintaining the historic
building and having up-to-date equipment requires a tremendous financial
commitment. Support for this comes from the W1AW Endowment Fund
http://www.arrl.org/w1aw-endowment-fund. Your donation to the fund
will help keep the station in top condition for hams now and in the future.

Please go to arrl.org/arrl-donation-form
https://www.arrl.org/arrl-donation-form to donate. Thank you for your
support!
