November QST! As usual, I head for the Eclectic Technology column written by Steve Ford, WB8IMY, first thing when my copy of QST arrives. I am always guaranteed to learn something new every time.

Dear Elmer,

After getting some information on repeaters in my area, I find they use 6 meter repeaters also. Is most traffic in that band in a vertical polarization? If so, a vertical center-fed dipole or quarter wave vertical seems to make the most sense. If horizontal, then a center-fed dipole is logical. So which polarization is more predominant?

Dear Elmer,

Can you recommend a website or software that will help me learn Morse code? I know code isn't a requirement anymore, but I'd like to learn it anyway so I can work more DX!

Signed,

More DX

Dear More DX,

I would like you to try this website, which is the same one we recommend for studying for the written tests:

Dear Elmer,

How do I get to the text box in EchoLink while using keyboard commands? I use a screen reader and I want to try out the W0EQO-L remote base. I hear you can control the frequency of the TS-480 by putting the number in the text box.
