There are posting of photos of events and announcements about events on the Club's "Facebook" Page. So just look for "Orange County Hams" on FACEBOOK...that's where you'll find the Club!. PUT YOUR NEWS HERE!The Electronic Alternative To "ON-THE-AIR" TuningMost radios built today have either Auto Tuners built in or a place you can plug in an external Auto Tuner, but what if you have a older rig and a manual antenna tuner? It really isn't good operating procedure to set the and hold a steady carrier while you crank on a manual tuner to get it to make the radio "think" it's looking at a fifty ohm antenna. To solve this problem you can purchase an "off-line" matchmaker or as they are sometimes call a "pulser". What happens is the "little black box" generates a constant rf noise pulse and by simply tuning the tuner till you hear the pulsing stop (or 'notch out" then you know you have a perfect 1:1 match between your radio and your antenna and you never had to put a single carrier out on the air. "Pulser's" are not expensive and make for a more courteous way to tune that antenna "right on the money"!
