Nice qso, You were hammering in, nice to chat with someone durring heavy skip conditions, like a local, for almost a half hour. And the icing on the cake was when you called your wife to come and talk to Canada!!!!! Tennesse to the top end of Lake Superior on am, regular 40 that clear and loud...

Kind of ironic, her last ride was,,, well,,, in the back of a bus (hearst) and who picked the vehicle colour ???? The hearst was white. Smell something here???? Or maybe just a fluke???? Makes you wonder. Was this by design???? Makes for some conversation though, surprised more people did not...

In my thoughts and prayers, for him and all silent keys.

Slight problem on my end as well, was just there, had to sign in again though??? Normally don't, never cleared cache or cookies???? But was able to log on.

Well first off, you must be a holder of a valid hunting licence issued to you by a compatent authority in the area you reside. You must purchase a non resident hunting licence. Best to contact the MNR ( Ministry of Natural Resources) for an issuer in the area you intend to hunt. You must also...

Sonwatcher, The laws changed several years back. You now have to register each and every firearm you own. It was suppose to be 25 bucks a gun when it came out but people refused to register, so they dropped the 25 dollar charge, and registered for free to a certain date. After that date you had...

Picked up a noise toy mic from him, and he had it here (Great White North) in 5 days!!!! Fast shipping, well packaged, no junk from him, the kicker here, he made a mistake on the noise toy chip,and sent another without me even asking, Surprised the heck out of me. Honest decent man. He's no...

The key here is when talking to say other locals, who also have an export radio. We have a group that stays on 26905.0 away from the regular 40, peace and quiet, but when skip rolls, 26915.0 is hoping, as well as other channels off the regular 40. When skip rolls sometimes just too much traffic...

Nothing wrong with that,(legaly not sure in the US) but still, from a sane point of view, get off the regular 40 and pure quiet, easy to talk to someone else. And when the skip rolls 26915.0 is the palce to be.

Well there ya go, the city probably cleaned it up durring the night. But scary as heck eh?

Cheech, just amazing the power!!!! And when you see the flash and hear that bang, at the same time and you know it's right over your head, that"ll scare the heck out of anyone, especially if you are a radio operator with a base!!!!

Hey Duck, thanks for the quick reply, good to know, 48 ground rods!!!! thats 45 more than my station. Good luck to you tonight, not quite sure where in Texas you are, but stay safe, now a catagorie3 hopefully it drops down even more.

Every time we get a thunder storm, I always disconnect the coax. And after reading your post made me think about my setup, an imax 2000 on a 10 foot pipe, attached to a 40 foot tower, all as far as I can figure, grounded properly. But my question is about grounds, has anyone actually had a...

Good to "hear"... pun intended. Yep height is might when it comes to a base antenna, be surprised how good you can get out with a good antenna, and some height, with just 4 watts. Next thing you will be looking into an amp, and man thats some fun when skip is rolling, and you need to be heard...

Here is a review, not sure how old, but a local here has one and a tower he wants to get rid of free, so looked it up. Not all that great, and ugly as sin to boot. home.ptd.net/~n3cvj/superscanner.htm
