from ARVN's KN4AQ



I've been fairly prolific in producing "content" over the years before starting ARVN. Some of it might even be worth sharing.  I'll toss PDFs of some of the articles I've written, and maybe some old videos, here when I get the chance.

If you've come here thru a web link, I'd like to invite you to take a look at the DVD videos I've produced as ARVN. Some are "documentary" style programs that make good club meeting programs. Others are forums and seminars, usually too long for a club meeiting, so better suited for individual viewing.

A Ham's Night
Before Christmas

A little holiday cheer, written (or ripped off) way back in 1996. And here's the audio version, recorded by the "author."

Riley Hollingsworth sent a warning letter to a truck driver in my area, after some local hams monitored him operating on 28.085 MHz.  I tracked him down and interviewed him. Then I visited a local CB shop that he referred me to and talked to them about some of the radios you'll find on the market.  This story was printed in the SERA Repeater Journal in 2001.

Crossband Repeating
(pdf)
Crossband Repeat is a handy function built into many dual-band VHF/UHF radios. At first, it can be a difficult concept to grasp, and doing it "wrong" can cause some problems. I've seen some terrible articles trying to explain the ins and outs of crossband repeat. Here's another one, this time written by me. This story was printed in the SERA Repeater Journal in 2001.
Field Day/All Night Long
(video)

This is a "home movie" video of the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society Field Day in 1997. It was shot on Hi-8, dubbed to Betacam and edited on Avid Media Composer. The overnight segment is cut to the Eagle's All Night Long. Because of the copyrighted music, I couldn't do anything with it except show it to the club, until YouTube came along. The link will take you to my non-ARVN YouTube channel, KN4AQ2.
