Taking a Break from Ham Radio

[Riverman]

And enjoying 11 meters!

Mine is not an elaborate base station, but it works nicely.



And no, my ham stuff is not for sale. It’s resting in the closet till I’m bitten by the bug again.

In the meantime, I’ll shoot some skip, ragchew with the locals in the evenings and keep my eyes open for a pristine, refurbished Browning Golden Eagle Mark III at a reasonable price.

Welcome back to where some "real people" hang out on...

Simple and clean.

Good luck finding that Mark III, hope you do. Most of the big dog locals around me had them back in the 70's. Great audio.

The small external speaker to the left of the radio is a RoadPro RPSP-15 I picked up at the local Love’s Travel Stop for about $15. It weighs a ton and sounds better than the much larger Icom SP-33 I use with my Kenwood.

Do you know what happens when you put ham radios into a closet?? They are like rabbits and breed. Soon you will have a closet full unintentionally.

I enjoy HF and all that but when 11 meters is open around the world that's my favorite way to radio.
