ARRL Divisions and Our State Section web sites....
The websites vary greatly
ours seems more ARES and Traffic totals centered
Is traffic and ARES the only thing happening with our Division ?
Where would we turn if we wanted state or regional news ?
Who is the big gun VHF/UHF Dx op in our state ?
Who is the Elmer of the year, is there such a thing ?
The SARA Website Rocks, thanks to Ellen and we can be very proud of it
we can help the division and region websites by sending them feed back.
I would like to see more news about our region and Division in QST but that is not going to happen, they just don't have the room for anything other than traffic and new hams in the division news within QST
http://www.arrl.org/sections/?sect=LA
The same person that manages our great website for SARA manages the state website
so she only needs our feed back
Placing the burden on her without us helping provide feedback is wrong and will not help
when you have something news worthy drop Ellen a note about it.

http://www.radio-sport.net/
Now available at http://www.radio-sport.net - a new internet site
devoted to news about ham radio contesting.
Featuring interviews with contesters, the goal of radio-sport.net
is to tell the story lines of our contests, with coverage modeled
on what you might read in your newspaper sports section.
The main focus as we go on-line today is the CQ WPX CW at
the end of May. You will see that the top three world single-op
finishers from last year are out, making WPX 2007 a wide open
shootout.
Radio-sport.net is also unveiling rankings of the top contesters
in the world, based on contest results over the past year. Our
first #1 ranking goes to John Crovelli, W2GD.
Please stop by to take a look...and don't be surprised if you get
an email from me with questions about what you're doing in an
upcoming contest or how your last contest effort went.

40 Phone Tent F.D. 2 element Colinear Array
Today while it was too wet in the yard to mow
I spent it building a two element Colinear Array for 40m Phone
It is no small antenna (260 feet in length)
But even laying on the ground the Antenna analyzer read 1.2 vswr at 7.200 Mhz
I think even if this antenna is only 6 or 7 feet above the ground in the trees on the river bank it will perform well for us.
I plan on waiting tell after FD to re-install my 80m double bazooka here at KG5VK, so we will also have it available for F.D.
Next is to see if I can repair the mosely classic 33 that is in mu antenna junk box
for our F.D. Tri-bander
