DUES ARE TO BE SENT to the NARF Secretary-Treasurer who's address is listed on the masthead of this newsletter. They are due in July. There are other NARF nets and gatherings, check your membership receipt for a complete listing. Also, note the starting times of the nets are linked to local time, thus the nets will be one hour earlier UTC during Daylight Savings time months. Last May, I reluctantly traded our Dolphin micro-mini in on a new class C motorhome because my wife said she needed more storage room.
Most converters used in motorhomes use a switching type power supply with very little filtering.
Unless I can find a way to remove most of the ripple from the converter's 12V output, one of my most important considerations in selecting a mobile HF rig will be it's power consumption. One such unit that satisfies both of these requirements is the Ten-Tec Scout which will be covered next month along with some of my other requirements for a HF mobile rig.
