Thanks for all the great feedback from the last issues of The Logger's Bark, the newsletter & magazine of W7DK, The Radio Club of Tacoma! You can read about the club at www.W7DK.org and if you're ever in Tacoma, WA on a Saturday, the club holds open house every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and all are welcome. Full details at the link above. In this month's Bark I feature "Con" Nagy, WA7E, who many here on QRZ may have worked on HF SSB while he's piloting a 737 at 34,000 feet over the US! Learn all about how HF operation by an amateur radio airline captain works - what the radio consists of, where it's located, all of that. Plus a whole lot more - 98 pages of features, articles, photos, tips, and blurbs all about amateur radio. Download the Logger's Bark HERE: https://static.qrz.com/w7dk/May2024-QRZ.rE.pdf IMPORTANT: Be sure to actually download it to read - in Preview mode, the external links won't work! [EDIT - ERRATA] - Note that in the EmComm article that begins on page 62, the graphics on Page 66 and Page 68 accidentally got transposed - figure 3 should read figure 5, and 5 should read 3.

Dave and group- Another fantastic issue. I am guilty of occasional Aero-Mobile ops, alas my 737 gear is AM or USB only. The 2NT article was both informative and well timed! I just picked up a cosmetically perfect 2NT, 2-C, 2-AQ station ready for electrical restoration. In fact, the Hayseed Hamfest caps arrived yesterday. Now I’m super motivated. That “rag” you folks put together is just fantastic! I’m already looking forward to the next issue. Well done to all and 73 (how does one sign off aero-mobile? 73-7? Ha!) Wes W3KW
I've worked 2 Boeing aeronautical mobiles one over Brazil heading to Houston Texas the other over France heading to Spain. It's a real buzz to work them.
Please debate the CFR issue back in the other thread where it dragged on for pages. We don’t need another identical debate Thanks
Have you considered writing an article to submit to the Bark for publication? I would love to know what you would feature. Give it a thought!
So as to not distract from this thread, see response in Ham Radio Discussions parallel below, subject discussion titled : "Is it ok to transmit VHF...on American Airlines" 73
