    Oh man! So so sorry to hear this. I've only known Dennis on the radio, and a few times on the phone. He was helping me with swr problems. I sure liked to talk with the Tallman. RIP BROTHER, you will definitely be missed by this old boy. Dammit Man, I can't believe this. I'm super bummed...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    To my surprise the band was open, and instead of listening to contesters all weekend on HF, and not being able to do any DX'ing, I was able to make contact with a friend of mine on ch 20 AM that I hadn't talked to in a long time. CB Saves the day. I am an extra class, but I don't forget how I...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Been terrible here on AM for a long time. Worst I've ever seen it. I've got the 29lx on scan all day for the frequncies that are usually active, but for weeks there's been nothing, not even local. It's a waste of battery power.

    Export radio choices..

    I've only had one import, and that was a Stryker 955. I had so much fun with that radio. I'd defiantly buy one again.

    No more free ham ticket?

    If they enact the $50.00 renewed fee, I will only have to pay this twice before I go SK. I can deal with that lol! I also don't expect tax payers to pay for my free renewed license as of present. Somebody is sitting behind some desk at the FCC doing data entry to get those licences out in the...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    There's always a swap meet Sundays at 2100 on CB Ch 34 up here on the TN/NC Line. Just locals. But I haven't even heard that. I heard something on 3 a few days ago, but couldn't make it out.

    They must have done something about the QRM on 7.2. I haven't heard them for a couple of months now.

    No more free ham ticket?

    I'm glad I don't have any more exams to take. Now if they say $50.00 a year to operate, that will suck hind titty.

    No more free ham ticket?

    I agree. It does seem to be a random $ number figure. Maybe there are less people getting into Amateur Radio, and the $15.00 isn't cutting it. Can you imagine not passing the exam the 1st time, and then next try say a month later you have to pay another 50 clams. Better study hard.

    ft 991a vs ic 7300

    I've heard four operators in the past 1-1/2 years say there running a 991A. It didn't sound that good. I've heard probably 500 operators say their on a 7300, and they all sounded good. I run a Ameritron AL 811H daily with no problems. A one time adjustment to the timing for hot switching and it...

    Technician HF

    Some say that the last Extra exam was the hardest yet, and was written so you wouldn't pass it 1st go Round. I concur. I passed it it the 1st time, but Damm. Now I guess they took out something like 200 questions. Sounds like they are making it easier to me. I remember being pissed when I...
