AI Thread Summary
KB3HTS is seeking fellow amateur radio enthusiasts, expressing a lack of recent activity due to college commitments and poor dorm reception. They obtained their Ham radio license two years ago but have not utilized it much, aside from interest in off-shore pirate radio. KB3HTS also mentioned passing up a free 70 ft Ham radio tower, questioning its resale value. Another participant, Warren G0WDU, shared that they no longer transmit but preferred using Morse code when they did. The discussion highlights the challenges of engaging in amateur radio while managing academic responsibilities.

Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone around here is a Ham/ interested in amateur radio at all. I got my ticket two years ago when I was sixteen but don't operate much lately due to college and the horrible reception you get in the average dorm.

Off-Shore Pirate radio for me, that's all...
 
I had a chance to get a 70 ft free Ham radio tower but I passed it up, I didn't know what I would do with it besides sell it on ebay. How much would one be worth.
 
I'm a general-class Ham, but I've never used it. I got the cert. just in case I ever needed it for my search and rescue team back in college.

But I don't transmit any more. When I did, I preferred CW (Morse).
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
