Martin Wows Crowd at First CMSARA Program in Madison County

April 1, 2015 by K5HH

Martin K5FLU explaining antenna and transmission line RF characteristics

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ow! The crowd in CSpire Auditorium in Ridgeland on Tuesday evening, March 31, 2015, was spell-bound by the mastery of antenna and RF transmission line characteristics exhibited by Martin K5FLU. If you don’t recognize that call, it belongs to Martin F. Jue, President of MFJ Enterprises in Starkville MS. He is the pioneer of the “antenna analyzer,” originally called the “SWR analyzer”.

For two hours, Martin showed the fundamental characteristics of resistance (R) and inductance (X) as they play out in amateur radio antennas and transmission lines. Coupling the MFJ-269C analyzer with the ARRL software, TLW, he gave a virtuoso performance educating the crowd of about 50 in attendance in Ridgeland.

CSpire executive John Nordan said, “We are most happy to serve as host for this very interesting meeting.” They played excellent hosts with audio-video support and making the Central Mississippi Amateur Radio Association bring off it’s first public program in Madison County, home to some 150 licensed ham radio operators.

Slides from Martin’s talk are available in PDF by clicking here. ARRL software TLW information can be found here and the software itself here.

Mike WM5A, Special Events Coordinator for CMSARA, said it best, “A good time was had by all.”
