    D104's anyone???

    Now, that's funny! I never could figure out why the old D-104 grip-to-talk stands were called "chicken chokers" back in the day. I guess it's an old-timer thing.

    What's the latest with Glen Baxter K1MAN?

    Yes, 'KFM certainly is a shmuck, among other things. What a loser. Speaking of K1MAN, though, I'm listening to 14.275 as I type, and apparently someone is re-transmitting one of Baxter's "broadcasts" (read: intentional QRM/jamming/obnoxiousness). <sigh> Won't we *ever* be rid of that clown...

    upper cb frequencies

    BRAVO! And, as Highlander_821 commented: well said. This old timer's hat is off to you, sir. I think you speak for many of us here on this forum, as well as on other forums, when you point out your frustration with both purposely antagonistic posters and inept government bureaucracies...

    Scientists Predict Solar Cycle 24 to Peak in 2013

    Obviously not. However, the point is that scientific modeling is not capable of accurately predicting even relatively simple earthly phenomenon, let alone determining solar indices years in advance. But thanks for asking. ??

    Scientists Predict Solar Cycle 24 to Peak in 2013

    I'm not sure I'd put a lot of stock in this, considering weather forecasters seldom make accurate predictions for greater than 2 days in advance. We'll see...

    QRZ.com bans trolling

    BRAVO! Maybe now I can enjoy that forum without all the crackpot trolls. I just hope those "holier than thou" minions don't migrate over here, since they can't satisfy their trolling urges there. If WA4D shows up here -- BAN HIM ON SIGHT!

    Where Did Everybody Go?

    That's great, Rob! I like that about "break time!" Here in the show-me state, there was actually very little skip happening whenever I listened. I was pretty busy most of the day, and couldn't pay a lot of attention, but the radio was really quiet whenever I did. Base: Yaesu FT-757GX/IMAX...

    Welcome back 11m DX!

    Definitely, bioman! Hey, check Sparky's post. His sig has the address of his (our) Yahoo! group that's dedicated to 16 SSB (plus other freqs. inside the 40 channels). If I'm not mistaken, Doctor is a member (if you're the same one) there, too. I had a QSO on 16 LSB yesterday with a guy in...
