Today wasn't that great but I did manage to squeeze out a Nebraska contact in my mobile Q6 Pro with no extra help. And I think that might have been my first Nebraska ever. But sometime I think I might have a problem with patience and expect too much. LOL

I enjoy this forum the most of any because of the bylaws against bickering. Like the old saying goes ! Opinions are like A Holes Everybody has one. Sorry I don't want a whiff ! LOL

Seems as if dx has tapered down a little but I've been busy so I'm hoping it's only a short term thing. I can't remember when it starts tapering off for the summer. But spring is around the corner and that means getting all the lawn equipment ready. Right now it is vehicle problems. Oh well I'm...

Your Welcome !

great story, enjoyed this one also.

That front firing speaker is a joke and is only good for people with good hearing in a quite car. The first thing I did with mine is a external speaker because I've had a life time of bad ears. And I'm no fan of of the menu system but I like that menu better than the 980 menu system and the...

It was a busy day today but did get to make a couple contacts on 37 lsb and one nice one on 26.805 FM. Enjoyed the clarity of the FM contact.

Yesterday sounded like a bee hive on the air but I've been real busy with finish some remodel and clean up projects on my house plus my neighbor was home anyway. But the solar site says Good today for 10-12 meter so maybe I can squeeze in some air time today but when it's real good I think I...

This is the worse winter we have had in a while but no where as bad as they use to be. I was kind of liking Global Warming but I guess you can't count on it. Use to be we would enjoy owning a snow mobile and you seen them everywhere but you never see them around anymore.

Suppose to be a high of only 4 F tomorrow with high wind and dipping below zero at night and Sunday not much better. I got inside remodeling to do and tend those Coal fires !

I see you have good taste is Beer ! LOL That was my beer back 26 years ago before I give up drinking. ( I liked it TOO much ) LOL But I won't try your new radio because I had to swear off buying radios and perfect what I have. But Knock Um Dead and enjoy !

Thanks for the answer which I figured I would hear anyway. I'm not really into AM radios anyway as it is only a secondary radio which could be handy to temporary throw in a friends vehicle if needed. You saved another radio from the Golden Screwdriver ! LOL

The other night I was checking out different radios and noticed this radio was only reading 3 watts when I keyed the mic so I went to this print out to turn it up to 4 watts. https://www.radiomods.co.nz/alignments/unidenpresidentvrlist.html and it said L6 for RF power but I couldn't find it...

Thanks for the humor ! I need a chuckle every now and then. LOL

I seem to notice that has slowed down a little from what it was but I shouldn't open up my big fat stupid mouth because it will come back twice as bad.
