How sad. Don't know how long he worked for Sam's, but we used to do their 
radios at Advanced Communications way back when, maybe I met him and didn't 
even know it.

Sad to announce the passing of HoustonScan member William “Bill” Teed, 69 of 
Pasadena.
He passed away early this morning as announced by his wife on his FaceBook 
page.  He has been battling cancer for 5 years and recently entered hospice 
care at his home.
He worked at Sam’s Limousine Service as a driver.
He received his ham ticket in 1996, and was a general class with aspirations to 
get his extra.
He had just made recent posts to this forum last month.

I personally want to thank everyone who participated including:

The cooking crew – The food was great!

The antenna crew – The antennas performed great with very few issues and I 
think we were LOUD which helped:

The operators – For working so hard to squeeze out as many QSOs as possible

The computer crew – Again, almost flawless operation and integration;

The radio donators: For once again stepping up to the plate to loan out their

The visitors: For coming out to make this a very special event;

The city of Sugar Land: For allowing us to use the park and the house;

The weather: For not raining and also not being as hot as usual;

The Sun: For excellent propagation;

And all those others who stepped up to make Field Day a great success. Can’t

(copied form TDXS list serve)

There is only one event this weekend. If you need something else to occupy
your time, consult the WA7BNM Contest Calendar at
https://www.contestcalendar.com/weeklycont.php#16708. But most of us will
participate in Amateur Radio's biggest event, Field Day.


TDXS is again partnering with the Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club, the
Katy Amateur Radio Society, and the University of Houston Amateur Radio
Club for Field Day at Duchacsek Park in Sugar Land. Al, N5XZ, has created
an online sign-up sheet to show the availability of operating positions. I
encourage you to go to https://tinyurl.com/5bukx37k to sign up for times at
the many available positions. TDXS members are some of the most experienced
radio operators and can significantly boost this Field Day operation's
score. In addition, because of our expertise, we can be a foundation of
experienced Hams who can educate new operators and encourage them to join
the ranks of Contesters and Dxers.

The address for Duchacsek Park in Sugar Land is 17034 Old Richmond Road,
Sugar Land, TX 77498.

[BVARC] Fwd: New comment on "EFHW Antenna Simulation Using MMANA GAL"

[Stephen Flowers via BVARC]

Colleagues,
Good evening.  A nice comment from a Japanese amateur radio operator on the 
video I made for using MMANA-GAL to simulate the EFHW antenna!

Very interesting that the EFHW seems to be quite a popular antenna for hams 
around the globe!

73,
Stephen (W2WF)

Re: [BVARC] Fwd: Fw: A Heavy Sad Heart

[John Denison via BVARC]

That is the way I read it. They're ceasing on-site production so 
production might be moved elsewhere. Not only will hams who like to 
purchase/use MFJ products be affected but all of the employees working 
at MFJ and the sister companies will be affected as well.

Martin had been trying to find a buyer. It wasn't public news so i 
kept it to myself. I guess he never found anyone.


Great to hear he's settling down. 80 is pretty old and I don't think 
he's in the best of health. MFJ was a brand I’d grown up always seeing 
on the desk, even before I knew what it was.


At the same time, it’s always sad to see the brands we love being

  A Heavy Sad Heart


  Dear Fellow Hams and Friends,

  April 25, 2024
Dear Fellow Hams and Friends,

   It is with a sad heart as I write this letter.

   As many of you have heard by now, MFJ is ceasing its on-site
production in Starkville, Mississippi on May 17, 2024. This is
also the same for our sister companies’ Ameritron, Hygain,
Cushcraft, Mirage and Vectronics.

   Times have changed since I started this business 52 years
ago. Our product line grew and grew and prospered. Covid changed
everything in businesses including ours.  It was the hardest hit
that we have ever had and we never fully recovered.

   I turned 80 this year.  I had never really considered
retirement but life is so short and my time with my family is so
precious.

   I want to thank all of our employees who have helped build
this company with me over the years.  We have many employees who
have made MFJ their career for 10, 20, 30, 40 and more years.

   We are going to continue to sell MFJ products past May 17,
2024. We have a lot of stock on hand. We will continue to offer
repair service work for out-of-warranty and in-warranty units
for the foreseeable future.

   Finally, a special thanks to all of our customers and our
dealers who have made MFJ a worldwide name and a profitable
business for so many years.  You all are so much appreciated.

Sincerely Yours, 73s

Martin F. Jue, K5FLU

April 25, 2024 Dear fellow hams and friends,







































A Heavy Sad Heart














































Dear Fellow Hams and Friends, 
                                                                                            April 25, 2024
Dear Fellow Hams and Friends,   
 
   It is with a sad heart as I write this letter.
 
   As many of you have heard by now, MFJ is ceasing its on-site production in Starkville, Mississippi on May 17, 2024.  This is also the same for our sister companies’ Ameritron, Hygain, Cushcraft, Mirage and Vectronics.
 
   Times have changed since I started this business 52 years ago.  Our product line grew and grew and prospered.  Covid changed everything in businesses including ours.  It was the hardest hit that we have ever had and we never fully recovered. 
 
   I turned 80 this year.  I had never really considered retirement but life is so short and my time with my family is so precious.
 
   I want to thank all of our employees who have helped build this company with me over the years.  We have many employees who have made MFJ their career for 10, 20, 30, 40 and more years. 
 
   We are going to continue to sell MFJ products past May 17, 2024.  We have a lot of stock on hand. We will continue to offer repair service work for out-of-warranty and in-warranty units for the foreseeable future. 
 
   Finally, a special thanks to all of our customers and our dealers who have made MFJ a worldwide name and a profitable business for so many years.  You all are so much appreciated.
 
 Sincerely Yours, 73s
 
    Martin F. Jue, K5FLU

[Brian Shircliffe via BVARC]

I wonder why he didn’t sell it off.  Valuable brand names at least.  Could
have sold it 20 years ago and been retired this whole time.  Oh well.

Upcoming POTA event
Join facebook group


Hi everyone,

We would like to invite you to Houston POTA’s
event
where everyone is welcome.

A few important things to know.

   -

   Park access is 5.00 per person unless you have a Texas State Park pass.
   -

   We will provide radios so the only thing you need to bring is yourself,
   something to drink, and snack on.
   -

   You are welcomed to bring your own equipment to use, ask questions
   about, or to share with others.
   -

   You can use your own call sign if you decide to get on the radio.
   -

   Of course, you do not have to operate the radios, you can come out for a
   fun time with your fellow hams.
   -

   This is a family friendly event.

We look forward to seeing you all there. Don’t forget to join our new
facebook

group to stay updated on all our events.

73,

Anthony (W5LIC) and Kori (WX5KR)

Re: [BVARC] Fwd: Armadillo Network

[wb5itt via BVARC]

Dillo is a closed system...to join requires knowing someone already a member 
recommending you or knowing your background and it must be approved by a 
membership committee...at least that's how it was last time I knew...Mike 
Hardwick can possibly give you more details..I'm not sure if Mike is still an 
active member...Dillo has seen a drop off in usage and members in the last 10 
yrsmy long time friend, Jim Reese, WD5IYT sk, who I knew from his high 
school days, was a driving force in it but he passed due to cancer several 
years back. His widow moved to NC iirc...lost track of her after my original FB 
account got locked Armadillo is an affiliate of the Cactus Radio Network, based 
out of California. I have the Dillo and Cactus site and control code info at 
home thanks to my knowing a lot of the members, a number of them fellow 
broadcaster engineers...You can Google their website for more informationChris

I’m looking to fund my next purchase so I’ve decided to sell my  HF Go 
Box, which includes the following items:


  * Yaesu FT-450D – 100W HF transceiver, 10m-160m, with built-in ATU
(auto antenna tuner)
  * LDG YT-1200 – automatic antenna tuner specifically for selected
Yaesu transceivers
  * West Mountain Rig Runner RR/4005 – power distribution panel (not
shown in pics – mounted in rear of case)
  * Tigertronics SignaLink USB sound card
  * MCM 4U 19” Molded Rack Case

Priced separately all items would exceed $1000 – I’m asking *_$800_* 
for the go-box.  At this time, I would prefer not to sell this as 
individual items.  User manuals for the FT-450D and LDG YT-1200 are 
included.  All items are in excellent condition.


In you have any questions please contact me at: ae...@arrl.net.  Feel 
free to pass this along to anyone you think might be interested.  Much 
appreciated!


73,

Tom

[Suggs, Marvin (KTRK-TV) via BVARC]

Hi Robert
Thank you very much! I took the lenses off and saw some jacked up wiring. One 
of the red leads was actually grounded. I see on the terminal, #2 goes to the 
rotators and #4 goes to the wig wags. I may run a jumper between the two. I 
bought a 50 amp power supply to run it.
Take care and thanks for writing!

Maybe grounded internally. Most all lightbars come with an external ground due 
to the mounting (clamps not bolted)
Those older bars many times had 2 hot leads due to their high current draw. 
Most of the bulbs are 50 watts,  4 amps per bulb. Many had been modified by the 
departments or persons that used them. I donated one to the Richmond TX police 
department BBQ team. My Nephew is a Richmond PD officer  I installed a power 
supply in the bar, it had a power cord exit the bottom and you just plugged it 
in. If you just want the effect you can replace the bulbs with lower watt 
bulbs. May require you to remove the lens and check the connections. If you 
still cannot figure it out, I can arrange a time to look at it. Robert

I installed many back in the day when all I did was Fire & Police installs. Due 
note they require upwards to 30 a to power them. Is the pigtail still out the 
bottom of the bar? If so, how many conductors is it? These bars were ordered 
with many configurations, Take-down lights alley lights, an such. Most had a 
ground and each wire controlled each light. Many also had a siren speaker 
wiring. Robert KD5YVQ

Re: [BVARC] Fwd: [HoustonScan] Help needed off topic

[Robert Polinski via BVARC]

Maybe grounded internally. Most all lightbars come with an external ground due 
to the mounting (clamps not bolted)

Those older bars many times had 2 hot leads due to their high current draw. 
Most of the bulbs are 50 watts,  4 amps per bulb. Many had been modified by the 
departments or persons that used them. I donated one to the Richmond TX police 
department BBQ team. My Nephew is a Richmond PD officer  I installed a power 
supply in the bar, it had a power cord exit the bottom and you just plugged it 
in. If you just want the effect you can replace the bulbs with lower watt 
bulbs. May require you to remove the lens and check the connections. If you 
still cannot figure it out, I can arrange a time to look at it. Robert

I installed many back in the day when all I did was Fire & Police installs. Due 
note they require upwards to 30 a to power them. Is the pigtail still out the 
bottom of the bar? If so, how many conductors is it? These bars were ordered 
with many configurations, Take-down lights alley lights, an such. Most had a 
ground and each wire controlled each light. Many also had a siren speaker 
wiring. Robert KD5YVQ

Furthermore, if you follow the coax you may find an amplifier and perhaps a
distribution block going to different rooms.

Another guess I would make is that the roof does not have a radiant barrier
so your attic should be an acceptable location for antennas, for the most
part.

Re: [BVARC] Fwd: Please Identify this antenna ?

[John Mechura via BVARC]

Television receiving antenna.

They were installed in the attic to preserve from weather and also to
prevent this "ugly" thing from being seen from the street.

It is a Yagi or perhaps Yagi-Uda.

You can see the matching transformer, known as a balun connected between
the coax, 75 ohms, and the antenna terminals, 300 ohms.

I would not transmit into it just for a test, but do know that it is for
the obsolete television channels 2 through 13, which are VHF.

It may be possible to modify it for VHF use, however, and I would also
guess that the small end was pointed in the direction of the Dewalt antenna
farm.

Looks to be in good shape, by the way.

Hi Ralph, this is Susan, one of your HAM students from 2019-2020!  I hope this 
email finds you well.  I have a vintage Tandy Radio Shack Cellular Mobile Phone 
Model CT-1033.  Would you or any in your groups want it, to restore, etc.  I 
dont want to just donate or throw it away.  The wiring from the phone to the 
pack would have to be replaced but the battery pack and phone are in good shape 
from what I can tell.  Not sure if the batteries will still hold a charge, but 
the charger is included.

This ebay posting is exactly like what I have, bag and everything

[BVARC] Fwd: Please publicize Free, Zoom Technician Licensing Course starting Sept 7

[Gus Bernard via BVARC]

See below, from Rol Anders.  I took his last Extra Course, and it was
pretty good - convenient and thorough.  Once you register, you get access
to materials and recordings on his Google Drive (if you miss a class, you
can watch a recording).  They do a live Tech, General and Extra every year.

However, FYI as stated in an earlier thread, I thought Gary W4EEY and
Dave's YouTube course was better, and more convenient if you can't do the
live Zoom.  https://w4eey.com/ham-license-classes.html.  They have
seriously improved their format and presentation over the last few years.
Each class is a separate YouTube video, and materials are in a Dropbox
folder.  (BTW, they also do a live Tech, General and Extra Zoom
version every year.)

The main difference between the two is in the manner of organization and
presentation, and you may like one over the other.  I think Gary's is much
a more modern, polished and professional presentation (and therefore more
effective).  Of course, taking either live Zoom course allows you to
participate live and ask questions during the class.

If you take W4EEY's most recent course AND do HamtestOnline.com at the same
time, you can skip buying the ARRL exam book (or save a bunch and
buy/borrow an older version from a friend).  (HamtestOnline is much better
than reading the ARRL book, but you won't have a bookshelf reference if
that's important to you.)

Hey everyone,

I know this is not radio related, but I am in desperate need of help.

I rescued a stray dog in my neighborhood almost 3 weeks ago. He had been 
reported on next door for almost 2 weeks prior to me grabbing him. The only 
reason I grabbed him is because he almost got run over in front of my house 
while I was mowing.

Before anyone asks, yes I have reached out to the shelters and the rescue 
groups all over Texas. No one is taking in any dogs. I also had him checked for 
a micro chip, no luck.

He knows sit, rides well in a car, and is potty trained. So I am thinking he 
was someone's pet before getting dumped.

He is about 40 pounds and still very much a puppy. NO apartments, only houses 
with a decent yard or property.

If you are seriously interested in a new dog, please let me know. He is FREE to 
a good home. I have been given a crate, it goes with him.

Re: [BVARC] Fwd: ARLB017 ARRL Files Comments Against "Seriously Flawed" HF Rules Petition

[Nick Creason KE5QY via BVARC]

I’ve heard this story before.  Does anyone know if it is real or just another 
internet rummer?

 

Most of the spectrum assigned to amateur use is to unreliable to be used for 
commercial purposes.  I wouldn’t thing that a business (especially one trying 
to do something time sensitive) would want to work around sunspot cycles and 
weather interference.  And anyone that works any DX knows higher power doesn’t 
necessarily get a signal through if the conditions just aren’t there.   High 
power directional SW stations are located all over the world and all of them 
fade in and out with the best conditions.  

 

Just my 2 cents worth.

 

Nick, KE5QY

Thats a pretty harsh statement. I’m not sure any of us know the pull that arrl 
has in Washington but its probably safe to say that arrl cannot control the 
actions of others.  

Arrl does a lot of things for the hobby. The political side is only a small (?) 
part of it. 

I think they offer enough other benefits that if they are unable to twist the 
fcc arm til they say uncle, I’m sticking around for all the other benefits. 

 

But also none of us are under contract to stay with them either.

[JP Pritchard via BVARC]

I used to own a Kenwood TS-590SG, which has a receive out jack (RCV) on the 
back. It's really a split antenna feed. Whatever you're tuned to on the Kenwood 
is the same signal that is available through the RCV jack. You plug that into 
the SDRPlay, The SDRPlay USB output is then plugged into into your computer 
where SDR software (several free choices from SDRPlay) is installed. You can 
view the view the signal on a scope display on your computer monitor. Works 
like a champ. There are instructions available on YouTube

Bob, I find your question confusing.  Maybe I don't understand.

Do you mean hooking up your SDR Play as your receiver, and your Kenwood as
a transmitter, working together and automatically switching?  Barry Vanek
bought a switching box to handle that.

Or do you somehow mean plugging the SDR into the Kenwood?  I don't know how
that would work.

Re: [BVARC] Fwd: Direct TV antennas

A 1/4 vertical works just as well and is stealthy...paint it black and you
can't see it from the street..
The dish, modified, is a waste of material and doesn't put perform a simple

[Jimmy Vance via BVARC]

The link provided here is for the non LTE version.  This will work fine 
unless you wanted to replace the LTE module with a larger SATA M.2 SSD. 
The non LTE versions will not accept an M.2 card  According the the 
website, they have sole out of the LTE versions

I just got home from the Houston MicroCenter and I can confirm that

[Shannon Tassin via BVARC]

If you get one, double check that you reserve the one with LTE and pickup ones 
with LTE (will have IMEI on outside of box). Same price as the one without and 
the boxes and computers are almost identical.

[BVARC] Fwd: [TexasRACES] DOD COMEX 22-2

[Gus Bernard via BVARC]

ALL:

DOD COMEX 22-2 is now underway. Monitor WWV at 10" past the hour, and
please see the forwarded message below from C. Matthew Curtin KD8TTE.

If you are at all interested in emergency communications or operating HF on
60 meters, this is an important practice event.  Matthew has a great
YouTube video that explains how this works!  See the link in his email,
below.

Hope to hear you on 60m this week!  73.

Gus Bernard, K5GMB

All:



Are you planning DOD COMEX 22-2 participation in your area? I've asked the
"emergency communications" operators and have found shockingly little
engagement. Any HF-capable amateur operator should be able to participate
on at least some level, but there seem to be lots of assumptions about.



"I'm not in MARS." [This part isn't for MARS, it's for you.]



"I don't have 60m." [Are you sure? Even if you really can't, there are
options.]



"It's over my head." [It's just voice. Have you actually looked at what it
takes?]



I made a video to try to encourage amateur participation, and have an
accompanying station plan that helps to make sure you get the critical
tasks done day by day, and even to coordinate with others so you can work
as a team in case one operator can't cover all of the different things to
do.



Interoperability is a critical capability and I'm growing concerned that
lack of engagement by the amateur "emergency communications" crowd will
feed the argument that the amateur radio community simply isn't up to the
demands of operating post-disaster or emergency in a meaningful and
coordinated way.



I hope the video and accompanying plan template encourage participation.
Please share it if you think it will. I have no inside information here
(I'm not a MARS operator) but I'm happy to answer any question I can. I did
attend the briefing (linked from my video's description) and have a fair
bit of experience in cross-service exercises on 60m.

[BVARC] Fwd: Portable Generators Fw: Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday

Sales Tax Holiday


Several years ago, my wife found a $250 off brand generator on sale after at 
HEB. They had a big stack of them left over from Ike that didn't sell. I said 
for 6kw 220v that is a good price and maybe it will work.

 

I hooked it to a 30-amp beaker in the number two breaker position.  I had to 
move some breakers around and my well that was powered from the garage I moved 
to the house box.  About 100' of #8 Romex.  Amazon sells a mechanical $29 
interlock that attaches to the break box front plate.  It forces you to 
disconnect the main before connecting the gen set.  Very important Also, for 
$17 each amazon has a business card size volt and amp meter.  The amp meter 
pickups snap around a conductor.  The meter shows amps, volts KW, KW hours and 
even power factor.

What I wasn't sure about was the well. it has a staring current of 43 amps 
according to my peak hold volt meter but runs at 13 amps.  The gen set groans 
but carries the well just fine.  I went through the house, the microwave, 
blowers on the propane heat and even one burner on the stove as well as most of 
the lights in the house that are LED.  I got a bit greedy and tried just one 
air conditioner.  The gen set was gasping and lights flashing and we won't do 
that again.  I must say it was very satisficing to see most of the house less 
the air conditioner were good.  We may have to disable some features like the 
well to cook dinner and so on watching and learning what the learning amp meter 
says.  

So for less than $500 or so we will be comfortable the next outage.  I could 
spend ten times that and get an auto start that would run it all.   When the 
ice storm hit we ran a #10 E cord to the camper, was ok but no heat, it will be 
 better next time.

Yes, I've looked at Northern Tool and Home Depot to add my "2 cents" in. The 
Home Depot 10K generator has a 12% THD on output. While the Northern Tool 10K 
runs about 5% THD. According to specs.  Forget a Generac whole home. I've gone 
to 5 different companies in the past month. The 24kw generator will run you 
about 5900 with the 200 amp auto transfer switch. The clincher here is the cost 
of installation - 9000 to over 13000 for myself. Now mind you - I need about 25 
feet of gas line and about 40 feet of electrical line to run from my backyard 
to the panel and the gas meter.  I'm just letting you know. There seems to be 
an incredible increase in installation of these things.  Yes, I've gone through 
Home Depot, Generac, Canter, Consolidated and 1 other independent. Good Luck.

John,

I have to say that anything from Harbor Freight has been excellent for me. They 
are inexpensive and good duty. However, in terms of external power I have found 
that the tolerance of the Harbor Freight stuff is a bit problematic. Therefore 
I returned that and bought the one at Home Depot. They do not appear to 
interfere with any RF issues. So long as I distance them from the antenna. I 
will tell you that my auxiliary generator from HD provides no issues, nor does 
the Generac. The Harbor Freight one seemed to be not so kind. My experience and 
opinion. I hope that helps. Do your own research on this, but that’s just my 
findings.

Does any one have an opinion on the Harbor Freight knock off of the Honda 
inverter?  I have one, I found it woudn't run the ac in my trailer so it has 
been on the back shelf.  Come to think about it, I was in Harbor Freight a few 
days ago and didn't see anything but five or six kw units.  

By the way anything with wheels isn't portable.  Reminds  me of any TV with 
handles was portable no mater how heavy.

Mark,

 

Honda and Yamaha are true benchmarks. I have a Yamaha Y series 2800 and it has 
powered two refrigerators, a television, a fan and LED lights during many times 
of power loss. 

 I use it for DJ work as it is inverter technology. 

 If you’d like more info call me at 832-473-4002.

on146.660 MHz (-600KHz transmit offset) with CTCSS of 100.0 Hz.  The 
70cmrepeater is on 444.375 (+5 MHz transmit offset) also with CTCSS of 100.0Hz. 
 If you feel you have a better signal through the UHF repeater, pleasedon't 
hesitate to use it instead. There is also access to the two linked repeaters 
via EchoLink node W5NC-R. Net control will be N5EN.  February 23 is 
“Inconvenience Yourself Day", somaybe it will be about how to practice 
self-awareness and how your actionsaffect people and are really important for 
self-growth…or something likethat. If anyone else is interested in being net

I am again taking the opportunity to contact those of you who have hosted me 
for a Zoom presentation in your radio club. As I mentioned before, I do these 
free lectures for the pure pleasure of it and as a service to a hobby that has 
served me so very well for over 50 years. Possibly of interest is a new topic 
on w6nbc.com, based on an article that the ARRL asked me to write on, "How to 
Build a 10-meter Moxon Antenna." It is aimed at newbies, but is a very 
adaptable design that experienced hams will also find of use. It is 
lightweight, easy to put up -- great for portable use. It has been well 
received at a club or two at which I have given it as a try-out. If it, or any 
other topic there interests you, sent me an email: jport...@aol.com or 
w6nbcm...@gmail.com. I will also soon be presenting a 4-session, half-day 
Sunday mid-day Eastern time full class by Zoom on EZNEC, the popular antenna 
modeling program. It is a must-have tool for hams who like to build, modify or

Mourning the loss of Rick Zamarripa

Remembering Rick Zamarripa.


I lost a good friend and business partner,  Rick Zamarripa Tuesday evening
February 1, 2022.   He was 55yrs old.   It is hard to express the loss in
words and I am sure many of you knew him in many different ways.Rick
has been with Electronic Parts Outlet since the early 1990’s working with
the Bretch family, later taking charge of a second store in the Willowbrook
area which ran until 2002.Both stores consolidated as one where Rick
Zamarripa and Chris Macha took on management rolls until they ultimately
bought the store in 2013 and it operates through present.  Rick deeply
loved his family and always put his family time first.   Customers could
see this in his giddy excitement as he showed off photos of his new
grandchild, Celeste.   He is survived by his wife, Yvette and his three
sons Zachary, Brandon, and Nicholas and his two cousins Arthur and Jasmin
who he raised as his own children. He was very proud of all of them and
spoke of them and their accomplishments frequently.  I believe Rick truly
loved what he did, especially the human interaction part of the business.
He always worked very hard and took great care in making people feel
welcome and making personable connections with people.  He knew how to make
people laugh.   Rick had a character that is hard to find these days,  when
you knew Rick, you knew who he was below the surface.   He could be counted
on and he had a genuinely good heart.  He always wanted to see that
everyone got a fair chance and no one be left out.Rick was really good
to work with and treated everyone around him as family.  He is truly loved
by the EPO staff.   He would do anything he could for anybody even if it
meant him doing without.   He loved to Barbecue and the preparation of it.
He was so proud of his 3 sons and cousins, but he raised and influenced far
more than his own kids.He took much pride in seeing the young people
who worked with us take direction and move on to great things after they
left their jobs with us.

I have been holding high hopes he might be able to rejoin us at some point
never realizing how short time can be.

At this time funeral arrangements are unknown, we will be posting
information on our Facebook page as we find out more.

Sincerely

Interference Hunting in a 5G World: What you Need to Know

Wednesday, November 10th, 2021
Time: 09:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET 

Interference Hunting continues to play a critical role in ensuring the quality 
and performance of mobile networks. But different from 4G/LTE, the emergence of 
TDD in the C-Band/band n78 and the general complexity of 5G deployments have 
created some new challenges when it comes to identifying and removing network 
interference. In addition, the emergence of private 5G networks for 
manufacturing, warehouses, ports, etc. brings forth new stakeholders with more 
demanding performance and quality requirements.
Join us for this 1-hour webinar, in which our Interference Hunting expert Peter 
Busch discusses these issues in addition to answering your specific questions 
on Interference Hunting in 5G networks.

Topics discussed:
   
   - Interference hunting in 5G networks: what’s changed?
   - External interference issues at C-band/band n78
   - Solving interference issues in private 5G networks
   - Updated interference hunting tools & techniques

Your Rohde & Schwarz team |
