Ham Radio Operator KI7F checks Into a Denver 2 mtr FM net



Uploaded by: Philovideo
Video Description:
I am Bill Wolverton and one of my hobbies is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) and my FCC issued ham radio call sign is KI7F. I first became an amateur radio operator back in 1967 when I was still in high school.I had world wide global communications back in those days with out wires or the internet, just radio! This is a video of me Using my Icom 2000H 2 meter FM transceiver to check into the weekly 9 AM Sunday morning Colorado Repeater Association (CRA) 2 meter FM club net held on the Denver area 147.225 Mhz 2 meter FM repeater. In the video I was using my Icom IC-2000H 2 meter FM transceiver with an indoor 1/2 wave J vertical antenna and running about 5 watts on the low power setting. The larger radio seen on my desk is a Grundig Satellit 800 portable (Kind of big for a portable receiver!) that I use for shortwave radio broadcast listening (SWL'ing) and to monitor the different HF amateur radio bands. I have no HF transmitting capabilities at the moment.
The camera used for this video was a Sony DSC-H2 digital still camera in MPEG video mode. This video was taken with a Sony DSC-H2 digital still camera in MPEG movie mode. My home web page is http://www.ki7f.com/ (Still under construction) and I have hundreds of photos posted at http://community.
webshots.com/user/ki7f2 and my MySpace page is at http://www.myspace.com/ki7f and an SWL/Ham radio blog at http://ki7f2.blogspot.com/

Hi, can you tell me the appoximate range of a 50 watt 2m and 70 cm Ham radio. Without repeaters . Planing on installing one in my truck/mobile antennae. I'm moving up from 11m ssb use , and looking for a more releyable communication mode. The scenery consists mostly of rolling hills(~150 feet) and deep forrest. Thanks, Erik

Hi Bill,
I enjoyed watching your video Bill. There's not many people out there that could make a video about such a mundane subject as checking into a local repeater net, and making it funny. You should have being in the movies Bill!! 73's Michael (M0CRC)

Yea, I was really tired and groggy that Sunday morning! I was kind of conducting a test with my Sony DSC-H2 still camera in MPEG video mode and thought I would post it up here to Youtube just for the heck of it.

Good video! One of my favorite things to do at night is pick up on this kind of activity. I restore old tube sets, such as the Hallicrafters boat-anchors. Though they don't perform nearly as well as these new digital sets, they are just fun to use. Thanks for this.
