Re: [BVARC] MSWE - Pre-mobilization at the ships - Pelican Island - Saturday May 18th
Mark:I will not be able to be there because of an HVRA event.However something in the back of my brain says to ground the vertical to the ship , you need more that a single copper wire. More like 4 massive ground cables. However I could be wrong.

I wish it was just as legal for me to shoot these down as they seem to believe it is for them to fly them over my head. There were three drones flying over the 4th of July Crowd out in Fulshear, I am not sure how safe having these in the air over a large event, and should be prohibited. I guess I could start my own Surface to Air Missile Hobby and see how that works our for me. :) There is a RF weapon of sorts that looks to interfere with the communications between the Drone ans the remote. It looks easy to build with an Android device. I love toys, but would never drive my RC car on the Freeway or endanger people overhead either.

Re: [BVARC] Running feeder line question
Now is the time to upgrade your electrical.Putting extra outlets is a snap. Just very carefully with the Romex available these days(NM-B)It is thinner than NM and do not hammer the staples tight. Using 4 inch box with single device opening and 3/4 inch flex conduit deadheaded in the attic, one will be able to run a 20 amp line in the future. Extra outlets in the halls etc good for vacuum cleanersI hope you get the ideaSent from my LG K10, an AT 4G LTE smartphone -- Original message--From: SETX Telecom via BVARC Date: Thu, Sep 7, 2017 1:38 PMTo: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB;Cc: SETX Telecom;Subject:Re: [BVARC] Running feeder line question 4inch PVC conduit works for me...
