BUILD an inexpensive heavy duty power supply
 BUILD an inexpensive heavy duty power supply by VE6HGR

A power-supply that will handle the high Amp's required for present day transceiver tends to be a costly affair.$100.00 or more is not uncommon.
Maybe an old computer-power-supply is the answer for the small wallet. ATX supplies are capable of carrying high loads; have a 100% duty cycle and have all the safety build in you can wish for. On top of it they are small in size and light in weight. As  an experiment I turned one in an bench unit with all the possible voltages.  To see  how I went about it please click this link or go to  FILES /(drop down menu) DOWNLOADS/    MISC/      BUILD an inexpensive heavy duty power supply.
Have fun!

Distracted Driving Bylaw
Here is something we can all easily do.
Go to the link below for comments and questions, and fill in the form under the heading: Transportation- Distracted Driving Legislation. It is that easy. Here is my entry, as an example of what you can say(with thanks to Earl VE6NI for some content I pirated from him). Why reinvent the wheel?
Please be advised that Amateur (ham) Radio Operators in the Province of Alberta are licensed by Industry Canada to operate 2 way radios. In instances of Emergency or Disaster they become an invaluable tool for nearly all services when cell sites are overloaded and land lines are not available or out of service.
As radio amateurs, we are concerned that there should be no prohibition regarding the use of radio amateur equipment while in vehicles, under any circumstances (not just while involved in a Search and Rescue operation or an officially declared disaster.) In addition to periodically having mock search exercises and Simulated Emergency Tests for disaster-related exercises (sometimes in conjunction with local Disaster Services), radio amateurs, in a sense are always practicing proper operational procedures while "on the air", whether mobiling or otherwise.
Thanks for your considerations about our concerns and wish you all the best in continuing to make our roads safer.

Bill 16, the Traffic Safety (Distracted Driving) Amendment Act, 2010 is available on the Legislative Assembly of Alberta's website at: http://www.assembly.ab.ca/. Frequently asked questions related to Bill 16 are also available online on Alberta Transportation's website (http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/). We welcome comments and questions regarding Bill 16, which can be submitted online by visiting: http://alberta.ca/home/Feedback.cfm.

I forgot how big that antenna is. And it takes one tiny connection to spoil it.

Does the club have any colors? If there is, should I make the afghan in club colors or just whatever. Also it is up to the bosses to decide if they will put everyones name in that registers or whoever wants to enter for it they put their own name in for a dollar or whatever for each entry. I'd like to know about the club colors very soon because picnic time is getting close!
