My wife and I like to go out to eat , we do this about every other time I'm home from work. We ate at Coltons Stake House and as usual it was another disappointment. I like stake, but I've given up. I've had stake at Coltons, TGI Fridays, Lone Star Stake House, Cattlemens in OKC and several...

Got a guick contact with 789 Northern Idaho yesterday evening, he told me I came in over the top of the 111111111guy. SO, I took that as a plus . Skip is rolling good today but unfortunately we're getting ready to drive up to Muskogee and spend the day. I NEED TO GET MY 4 ELEMENT BEAM UP!!

Made a few contacts yesterday on 38 lsb. 5150 Montréal Canada. 200 Boston Mass. 606 Wisconsin. and then some jerk playing recordings over the air kinda ruined it for some of us. Jumped up to 42 lsb and made contact with Needle bender 24 Northern Ireland. That one surprised me!

As usual I'm late to the party. Hope everyone had a good Christmas day, And wishing everyone a safe New Year's. My first day of work is January 1st, (n)

YardDog, I seen in a post somewhere you're somewhere north of Fort Smith . I can't be certain but I believe I've talked to you and another man a few years back. Both were really good sounding stations. I want to say I was driving through the Van Buren/ Alama area.

Happy Thanksgiving. For anyone deep frying turkey's, SLOWLY!!! SUBMERGE YOUR TURKEY INTO THE HOT!!!! COOKING OIL!!!!!! And make sure your turkey is complete THAWED OUT BEFORE DEEP FRYING!!!!!

Just use the same line my wife uses. And I have used her very words against her a time or two, seems to work , IT WAS ON SALE.

Started another project, something to block the North wind during the winter months. I'm putting fence panels up , my plan is to trim them out with a cap on the top and paint the top cap and trim black to match my carport post. Planning to use a light colored stain on the fence then treat it...

I found the problem. The pl plug on my coax that goes into the house was lose, after repairing it my swr problem went away. Still plan on changing out my coaxial cable anyway, since I have some on hand. Still haven't messed with the new 4 element delta loop antenna, still putting back for the...

Still need a couple of trim pieces and the roof cap. My builder tried, but said it felt like his stitches were about to burst. I told him just wait until you can do it I've waited a yr to have this finished a little longer won't kill me. He also added a 6ft overhang to my bays so it completely...

Been awhile since ive been on here, haven't been on the radio either. I still need to switch out my coaxial for my base station but in the meantime Ive been busy with some other projects. Having a 15ft overhang put on the front of my shop and a third bay added to the end of the shop. It's...

I was too, in this area I've lived all of my life you mainly get the Cowboys or the Chiefs. I wasn't a Rodger Staubach or a Tony Dorsett fan, so I liked the Steelers. Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swan, Franco Harris, Mean Joe Green, Dennis Winston and Rocky Bleier. I even had some Pittsburgh Steelers...

I'm trying to get back into watching NFL football, have been trying to pull for the Steelers since I work very close to PA and my driller is a big Steelers Fan. Even bought me a hat last hitch. Well, at least I'm no stranger to disappointment.

I was born and raised in Arkansas until I was 14yrs old, so I was fully indoctrinated with anything Arkansas athletics. I've been in Oklahoma over 40yrs and I'm still an Arkansas fan. But after watching the Hogs self destruct once again after dominating the first half only to come out after...

Will do. it will probably be after I get home from work next time, it's kind of a pain in the butt to get my antenna down to work on anything. I need to fix that problem also.

Well, sabotage has crossed my mind. The wife kicked the son out of the house, So he could have but I don't really know. I have some more coax so I'll replace it and go from there.

I check the swr every time before I start using my radio its a habit, but a good habit.

I haven't had any problems with swr since I put my home brew antenna up two yrs ago. Then yesterday I was going to see if some chatter was going on, checked my swr before I go to talking like always and just buried the needle hard to the right. Checked again with a different radio and a...

I thought I would put this here so as not to intrude on another thread that was actually started for another topic. My delta loop antenna arrived two day's before I got home and no my wife didn't sell it before I got back. Just got in this AM so I haven't unpacked and checked it out yet. But...

I may be in the minority, but I really liked the V Quad I had and used, I just thought it was built a little flimsy. The SmarTech antenna seems to be built very well, and It's a bigger version of the V Quad but built like a tank in comparison. Im in Oklahoma, we don't have the snow like the...
