FW: Needy Ham
Gary Harmon
Here is info on a local HAM needing some assistance. If you are able to
assist with his missing equipment or technical help, please contact him directly. 73, Gary H. Harmon, Jr. - K5JWK 6003 Archwood San Antonio, TX 78239-1504 210.657.1549h / 210.884.6926c "TOO many projects, NOT enough time!" From: Forrest Plumstead [mailto:fplum1@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, July 04, 2011 6:32 PM To: gharmon@idworld.net Subject: Needy Ham Hi Garry! I am yet another needy ham. I have a Drake TR-4 and a Heathkit HW-8 which was gifted to me by Members of the Chesapeake Amateur Radio Service (CARS W4CAR) and Virginia Beach Amateur Radio Club (VBARC). .The Drake needs a lot of work. More about that in a moment. The HW-8 needs a little work but mostly getting the ant up and keeping it up. I am using a homebrew 40 M dipole using thin gauge wire for the QRP. For the Drake I have a homebrew G5RV which is made for QRO. When I get the Drake up and running I plan on putting this ant up for it. The only piece of equipment I really need is an Antenna Tuner, PWR/SWR Meter and dummy load which can handle 300 W PEP Similar to a MFJ (I was given a matched set of NOS finals and driver). Now back to the Drake. What I need desperately is somebody in the San Antonio area who has a troubleshooting bench I can use and who can look over my shoulder and make sure I keep my pinkies out of the HV line. Problems that I have include a sticky Loading cap., Dirty contacts on the USB/LSB and the Band Switches, minor repairs there. No Modulation and lack of RX sensitivity on some bands (80m comes to mind), and to tune up the new finals which is what I need a test bench for. When I get all of this worked out, this equipment is going to have to last me for the rest of my life. Up until recently I was working 50-60 hr/wk, but at low pay. The above mentioned organizations in VA realized my plight. I was gifted the HW-8 as a T&R project. I was loaned an Icom transceiver and MFJ tuner. I was given the parts for the G5RV and one of the members came over and help me build it and get it into the air. Two years ago I had to return to my home of San Antonio, TX. Before I left one of the members of CARS had a Drake in his possession which he had tried to sell for a member of VBARC which did not sell. He talked to the owner who gifted the Drake to me. As I said I was working overtime until, Feb of this year, when I went into the hospital for Congestive Heart Failure, followed by a toe amputation, followed by 2 procedures one on each leg for vascular blockage, all due to diabetic complications. I was not allowed to work at all for 4 months. I am working now but only 2 days a week. I am waiting to hear from Social Security. I know you are probably getting flooded with similar e-mails but like the others I really could use the help. Please feel free to pass my e-mail address to anybody who can help. (They could get it off the list anyway.) -- TNX and 73 WB5HQO Forrest Ham Radio WB5HQO http://forrest.3h.com/main.html Plumstead and Associated Families: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fplum/ <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Efplum/> NAQCC Member # 3678 FPQRP # 2642 SKCC Member # 6855 QRPadillo # 59

Antennas and Wind
Well, I had a casualty today! I came home from work and noticed that my
Cushcraft R-5 vertical was leaning oddly at the base. I went up on the roof to see what was up, and got to the antenna just in time for a good gust to bend it over! Anyone else lose anything? Or does anyone know of an R-5 that is good for parts around this area? I am in need of the counterpoise box as it appears badly damaged. 73 and batten down the hatches! Mike Check K5UCQ
