Hello Everyone,
I have a Yaesu FT-757GX Mark I that I would like to interface with some
control software.
I have a brand new USB to 3 Pin control plug.
I found DXLab software, but it is a bit overwhelming.
Is there another software package that someone can recommend since Ham
Radio Deluxe does not support this model?

As you can see W9GFZ was the callsign of another great RA pioneer, Grote
Reber.
Jansky's work came earlier as a engineer attempting to find the
source of radio noise and stumbled onto the source as celestial.
https://www.nrao.edu/whatisra/hist_jansky.shtml
I see no reference to being a ham.
Both antenna are on exhibit at entrance to GB (been there several
times with SARA). Also visited VLA in spring of 1974 when it was
under construction and may have been the first visiting engineer to
get a tour (unofficial). I was working at Goldstone (NASA).
In 1997 I was with the last tour to see the "Big Ear" telescope of

Thanks, Kevin!?? You absolutely correct,? W9GFZ is the call and the club
is in Socorro, NM.? When I was at Green Bank for the dedication of the
GBT, I was on the understanding the group at GB had the call. BUT the
NRAO is more than just GB.? I had a very nice personal guided tour of
Socorro by one of the hams on staff there.? It was arranged by a good
friend, Dr. Paul Vanden Bout, the then director of the NRAO. Paul and I
both graduated from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI. I remember well
the whole day I spent on site at the VLA.
I was allowed to take several high school student to GB to use the 40 ft
instructional telescope and learn about radio astronomy. We stayed in
the dorm and had three activity filled days at the facility. I did this
three years running.? What an experience! That was REAL science!
As a physics teacher, I have to say that my experience at Green Bank and
several? tours of observatories across the US I was privileged to take
completely changed my perception of science and the scientific method.
Any way, thanks for the correction.? I noticed the typo and was
preparing to correct it? and, then, saw your post

100% agreed. I've been an involved enthusiast in different hobbies
(Classic cars, radio etc) for many years.
Private IT resources are the way to go. It always saddens me when a good
group hitches their wagon to a for-profit information resource, because not
everyone in the group is willing to be part of the commercial process.
Personally, I don't care to make advertisers rich while enjoying a hobby
with my friends.
Remember: If you use an IT resource that is 'free', then _you_ are the
Product.
Keep it private.

Aloha!
I?m a Physics Teacher at Kea?au High School (BK29LO). My students have
built a yagi antenna and learned how to work amature radio satellites as
part of a unit on satellite motion. They have successfully heard themselves
on the downlink of AO-91 several times now, but we haven?t managed to make
a contact.
We are going to try to make another attempt today at 21:58z - 22:10z. It
would be amazing if someone could listen for us! My call is KH6JB.
I hope this is the right place to post something like this. Forgive me if
I?ve left something out!

Greetings, programs!
I'm looking to work with my son (who will be studying to get his Technician
license later this month) on building a UHF/VHF pair of eggbeater antennas.
I've found a few papers online, but does anyone have a good reference to a
detailed design?
Does the ARRL Antenna book latest edition have any significant coverage of
eggbeaters at all? I have an older version that has nothing.
Also, most of the designs I see are for a single band. If you're deploying a
pair for satellite operations, do you simply attach them through a duplexer?
I have a Diamond MX-72N that I picked up a while ago for using with dual
Baofengs, but it's been sitting in my drawer since I picked up my TH-D72A.
It has a 1.6~150MHz lead and a 350~460MHz lead.
Thanks in advance for any pointers you might have.

Who says he has to use a method that everyone uses? It's not his
