Our webhost moved us to new servers yesterday, and we are having to do some cleanup. Let us know if you have any problems.

Pacificon was very nice, and we had a great turnout at our Sunday morning presentation. Thanks to all who came or stopped by at the Buddipole booth to chat.

Pacificon 2011

AKBiocca — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 04:13:31 +0000

Pacificon is nearly upon us – it starts this Friday. I will be making a presentation on Antenna Launching. The schedule shows it as Sunday Morning at 9am, but as always check the schedule to make sure.

I will be at the Buddipole booth much of the time. Hope you get a chance to come by and say hi.

Thanks for your support!

Pacificon 2010

Pacificon is fast approaching. We are shipping lots of launcher kits and preparing a special launcher for Pacificon. Only one of these new special high flow Piston Valve launchers will be available at the show. I am hoping to borrow a little table space from Buddipole to display this launcher. If not there I’ll see if the wife will share a bit of space at Dawn’s Cookie Lee Jewelry table.

This is the type of launcher I used this year on Field Day. It is a 17 inch launcher but it has more performance than a CSV19. I have combined it with a special custom Mini Coaxial Reel that has a 4 inch barrel section built into it. This extends the barrel when the reel is installed and increases performance and efficiency with the high flow Piston valve.

This setup won’t quite fit in the regular tool case due to the length of the custom Mini Coaxial Reel’s barrel. But it fits nicely into a Pelican Case, so this is a really top of the line Antenna Lauching System. You can’t miss it in this bright Orange Pelican Case!!

This Launcher will be for sale. Just this one will be available. You can see a photo of my Piston Valve Launcher that I used on Field Day on our new www.akbeng.us test website in the Field Day article.

I will also make a launcher presentation at 9 AM on SATURDAY CHANGED TO SUNDAY and then changed BACK TO SATURDAY 9AM at the San Ramon room AND THEN CHANGED BACK TO SUNDAY in a DIFFERENT ROOM. I always add some new material to my presentations, this year I will do the basics and add info about the new Piston Valve launchers. I will also have my own Piston Valve Launcher for display.

Hope to see you there!!!

SORRY FOR ALL THE CONFUSION on the location/day. Next year it should be better. Pacificon will be in the South Bay, and hopefully the organization will be smoother. Thanks to those that attended and apologies to those that tried and missed.

North Hills Radio Club

AlanB — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 06:00:01 +0000

Eric and Alan are preparing to do an invited presentation on Antenna Launching at the March 25th meeting of the North Hills Radio Club near Sacramento. If you are in the area we hope you can come by. This will be a bit different than the last presentation in Sacramento when the projector was not available. At least we hope it will be different, and we can show the slides and video that we have. We will also bring some launchers to look at. No selling is planned for this event.
