THE WAVES AND FIELDS OF THE ARTS W5SLA OZONE CLUB SINCE 1964 VOLUME'S 2021 V & VI http://www.coastalradio.org.uk/worldcoastal/slidellradio/slidell.htm

Based on conversations with “Emile, thanks for the email. I'll try and answer some of your questions and give you some insight AA5UY, I found out about a into the workings of the old WNU. I retired from the Coast Guard on 1 October 1980. I did a little local with a history from the commercial painting but got tired of that and got my 3rd class license and went to work at WNU in station in Slidell, LA. I wrote to June of 1981. I was there until June of 1993. What a neat job. Getting paid to play. When I first got Mr. Beith and got this reply. there, we had about 20 Radio Officers and maybe 15 teletype workers.(I think they were known as IPOs - international printer ops). Received messages went directly to the printer ops for delivery. Business was good and most of the R/O's got 80 to 100+ messages per watch during the day. We SHOUT OUT TO had about 8 ops on duty during the day 4 during the evening and 1 on the mid. As the years went by Club Member our manpower shrunk and so did the traffic. In 1993 WNU sold out to KFS (in California) and remoted all operations to the west coast. I was the last operator on duty when they turned KD5PCK – Scott operations over to the new group. Our working frequencies were 500 KHz international calling and distress 478 KHz working freq, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 22 MHz for high freq. On each band we had a main Hernandez for freq and a secondary we went to when the traffic list was going out every 2 hours. We sent weather reports twice daily. I can honestly say we had some top-notch operators and I miss them now, most leads and pix! of them have passed on. No young kids there, hi. I don't know what else I can tell you but if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks again for your interest.” 73’s Jack K5WNU

“The yellow antennas are known as Hermes loops; they are a phased array of high directivity and gain and were used on 500KHz to zero in on ships in the static filled Gulf of Mexico.” http://www.arrl.org/field-day

PAUL/ANCHOR: If you enjoy sending — or simply receiving — in the digital modes, there's a radio show you might want to tune into. Benn Kobb AK4AV brings us this report.

BENN: You've probably heard the sound of MFSK32 in the ham bands. But if you hear it in the shortwave broadcast bands, chances are you're hearing Shortwave Radiogram.

It's a radio show that transmits text and images using digital modes familiar to radio amateurs, but the digital sounds are broadcast in AM. The weekly half-hour show airs on shortwave stations WRMI in Florida and WINB in Pennsylvania. Shortwave Radiogram just celebrated its 200th episode with broadcasts April 15 through 18. The project began in 2012 on the , as VOA Radiogram. Producer Kim Andrew Elliott, KD9XB, explained why he created this unique program:

KIM: With more and more countries finding more and more ways to block the internet, we can use radio to get uncensored news into denied areas. Digital text modes via old analog can do this job. The content gets through even in reception conditions where voice content is difficult to understand.

BENN: When Kim retired from VOA in 2017, he moved the show to WRMI and WINB, and changed the name to Shortwave Radiogram.

Every week, listeners from all over the US and the world decode the text and images and post them on social media for discussion.

Kim posts information and the show schedule online at swradiogram dot net. That’s swradiogram dot net.

I’m Benn Kobb, AK4AV for Newsline. K5OZ LRS V3.0 & 4!

The next LRS version (V3.0) will get a pcb to make it easier to build. I will make it compatible with the V2 by only having to print a new electronics box.

New Electronics Box for V3.0 finished design. 4.5mm wider and 1mm higher to make room for Pi- Zero turned longways.

Version 4 will use pvc fence sleeves to reduce the 3D printing requirements. Plus, you can make it up to 40 inches long. Nothin’ But Nets http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-american-red-cross-renew-memorandum-of-understanding# http://www.arrl.org/served-agencies-and-partners https://hamfest.org/ http://ce-multiphase.com/k5ef.html I might be wrong, BUT; I think this qualifies Nick as a “passionate” ham operator.

Be sure to catch him and others at the Slidell Hamfest and W9DYV Amateur Radio Symposium! https://w4ehw.fiu.edu/
