I at first wanted to mention that Joe was the King of 30 Charlie but that would mean that Joe was seeking power and wanted to tax the peasants and that is the furthest from the truth. So the better term would be a mentor or a true Elmer.

Joe loved Ham Radio and he enjoyed D-Star on his DVMega CAST box probably the most.

Joe always took the time to help others with technical details or for configuration information to get a hot spot running, a call sign entered in a radio or help with getting a DMR ID.

30 Charlie will never be the same without Joe as I always found him on the side listening and always available to do a Google search for mobile operators in transit.

Joe, you were a great friend and made a big difference to all those you were in contact with. Too bad the monster loop with the Jennings Capacitor won’t get built but the idea of it will go on.

Joe loved Ham Radio and he enjoyed D-Star on his DVMega CAST box probably the most. Joe loved the Digital side of the hobby and if it required a computer even better.

Joe always took the time to help others with technical details or for configuration information to get a hot spot running, a call sign entered in a radio or help with getting a DMR ID. Joe was always “on the side” and would always help someone even if it meant to drop everything he was doing and patiently coaching someone through the programming or technical details.

30 Charlie will never be the same without Joe as he was always available to do a Google search for mobile operators in transit.

Recently, Joe ventured onto VE3TWR VHF in FM mode to help others and offered up a Yaesu mic for a new ham John VA3WOP. This small donation demonstrated how Joe was supporting new hams and helping them get on the air. Joe also offered support

Joe, you were a great friend and made a big difference to all those you were in contact with. Too bad the monster loop with the Jennings Capacitor won’t get built by yourself but the idea of it will go on and I will build it on your behalf. I have the capacitor in my possession and found the reference article we had discussed.

I know that Jose published some information on the loop but I have the actual 1 page instruction sheet that may be more readable.

This is a fantastic antenna and YES it needs a tuner

I can also use the mast for my linked dipole

I am working on a feather weight 2m 3 element Yagi that can sit on top of this pole at a height of 24 feet

I was lucky to visit the studio when I visited Warner Brothers and was surprised to see an antenna near the entrance but the studio is a Faraday shield.

I was able to make a Direct to Stage contact on Dstar for a proper QSL card but all the HF contacts are relays and were not from the actual studio stage.

I had a chance to grab a 16 ft painters Pole, my Yaesu FT-857D and an Arrow 3 element yagi and take off to the park for an hour of contest fun before it got too dark.

The Yaesu is on an Alice frame pack.

I was QRV in about 15 minutes operating out of the back of the SUV – stand up style operating under VE3IQ

I made 19 contacts into 4 Grid squares but the gold happened when K8ZR responded to my CQ

Anthony was 176 miles away proving my basic set up was highly effective. My goal in each Sprint is to try to work a new grid and try out different rover set ups.

I am looking to add a Printle Plate to my trailer hitch and use an aluminum mast in place of the painter pole. Its OK for a light yagi but I have heard of them breaking under a heavier load or windy conditions.
