    Awesome ARES RACES HAM Car

    Always wanted one of those. Ford stopped making them this year and have mostly laid off everyone to begin closing the plant. :mad: Last Ford Crown Vic rolls off assembly line I wonder if Ford will regret this... and here I thought GM was the only vehicle manufacturer that made stupid...

    Ebay gem of the week!

    Apparently used by some mud duck in a mud puddle, but not sure since it may not even work. The only thing we know is that it has a 5 pin DIN connector on it so was probably used on a rat shack! Turner Super Sidekick :tt2:

    Hey! My first "real" CB was a Realistic TRC-52 as well. Sure cost a bundle to a teenager back in '77. Man, what an old thread... first post 1969... :laugh:

    Galaxy full 10 Meter band

    I'll put in another vote for the HR2510. Had one for years and sold it, wish I still had it. That's a real SSB rig... and no silly CB channel display with 10 khz skips. Harder to find lately but there's HTX-100's on ebay most of the time.

    Kenwood TS-430

    Yeah good deal. Had one many moons ago, unfortunately I had a lemon (a few problems that turned me off Kenwoods forever, after my similar lemon-like experiences with a Kenwood handie), but I know mine wasn't indicative of the whole Kenwood line. Anyway when it worked, it worked good and is a...

    Davy Jones- The Monkees

    That is the best story I read in awhile. I too must admit that I'm old enough that I watched the Monkees as a kid. Yeah I remember Davy Jones, glad to see he is still around and is well.

    200GTL DX

    I've had my 200GTL-DX for a couple years, one of the last available (3rd revision), hasn't given me any trouble at all and sounds great in the mobile with a Wilson 1000, with a Cobra pre-amp mike. The ONLY complaint I have is the "limp-wristed" channel selector, yeah it has clicks, but it...

    Another "callsign change" request

    Here is (IMHO) the "portal" page for doing anything online with FCC: FCC Universal Licensing System (ULS): ULS Online Systems This is the page with their forms: Federal Communications Commission Forms Available via Internet Hope that helps? 73 de Fred

    Another "callsign change" request

    The funny thing is, there's at least two services (run by hams) on the web, who will 'do all the work for you" in applying for a vanity call. But it's not that hard to do on the FCC website (of course you first have to FIND the correct webpage) if you already have a FCC Registration Number...
