I understand the rules and would like to enter the contest. https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/what-year-and-why-did-you-get-into-the-radio-hobby.270244/post-861467

I started around 1978 (I was 6 years old) when my older cousin gave me his old Space Patrol walkie talkies. I was fascinated by the insides of the radios and that the speaker was also the microphone. And all those adjustments that looked like they were meant for a screwdriver.... Funny, those...

My DX is literally in the weeds....

I will stick with the old way. If we change the words, then people won't learn that either...

I worked in Montreal for a few years, driving by the Olympic stadium always made me think of this song.

Looks great, have you made any contacts yet?

Thanks for checking it out, the Sirio mag mount got lots of looks going through the drive through, and scraping the awning at the pickup window always made me cringe. The FireStik is a lot lower and I think looks way better too. I wasn't sure if the aluminum frame on the hatch window would...

This is the RG142 Teflon coax that I used: Superbat High Power CB Coax Cable 20ft PL-259 UHF Male to Male RG142 Jumper 50 Ohm Coax Cable for HAM Radio CB Radio Antenna Analyzer Dummy Load SWR Meter https://a.co/d/ftmfVPN

I just wanted to share some pictures of my installation on my 2000 Ford Ranger. I replaced my Sirio 5000 on a Wilson mag mount because it was giving me RF in the TX audio. The radio is a Q6Pro, and I almost thought it was wrecked until I figured out what happened. The antenna mount fit...

I tried the new firmware, and it seems to have fixed the fluctuating SWR. But I also changed the antenna setup completely, removed the mag mount sirio 5000 and replaced with a four foot FireStik on the back of the bed. I came to the conclusion that my main problem was RF in the audio, and when I...

Just putting 2 and 2 together here. Maybe they started out as NOS and switched to new when they ran out? Otherwise both scenarios can not be true.

This has fish oil in it that seeps into the rust and will stop the rust from growing. https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/stops-rust/rusty-metal-primer

Ok, so basically a noise gate cuts out the background noise. But only if the background noise is lower than your voice. It sets an audio threshold so any audio below the limit is not going to be allowed. Kind of like a squelch control on RX. Audio above the threshold goes in and hopefully you...

One feature of the 955 that I really like is the noise gate for tx instead of noise reduction.
