    This is what I've been thinking about.

    My first beam I ever owned was a home brew PDL 2 HomerBB gave to me . It was pretty impressive I thought. That's another option I could take.

    Happy Independence Day!

    After I get finished talking with some young people, I'm not so sure they're teaching them anything down here.

    This is what I've been thinking about.

    I have an old V Quad antenna which I actually liked when I had it in the air. But I was thinking about buying a new one, because I ran across some specs for a 4 element delta loop. With two V Quads I would have the option to semi home brew a 3 or 4 element delta loop if I wanted to. Just...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Same here, conditions really took off about the same time in SE Okla. Talked to a couple of Houston stations normally I don't hear a lot out of Texas. I just didn't have as much time to DX as I would have liked.

    Homebrew Co-phased Ground Plane Antennas

    I Got around to swapping my fire stick ground radials for some SS 102 ground radials today. Made a few short DX contacts into Houston , TX and one very faint station in PA, I was actually surprised he could pull me out of the pile on 38 lbs. I really enjoy this home brew antenna. Next I plan to...

    MY THIS WILL SAVE ME SOME TROUBLE?

    I didn't do all my jugs that way. I kinda thought the same thing it might cause more trouble. But I did set it out, We did have a good time didn't keep any fish because we have plenty in the freezer. We had fish every time we ran jugs, now if I needed fish it probably wouldn't have went that...

    MY THIS WILL SAVE ME SOME TROUBLE?

    Redid all my jug lines only to go out to check them this morning and one had the line cut off of it :mad: This sometimes happens when you've caught a good fish and some lowlife run your jug. So I add a message to this one, I think I'll do them all this way.

    Found Tower & Antenna for sale

    Lol, you sound like my life long friend Keith. He was the kid that broke everything, now people pay him to fix their junk, including me! He does give me the lifelong friend discount but I make sure he gets some money out of the deal. We've known each other since first grade he one of my oldest...

    Found Tower & Antenna for sale

    Wish I would run into those kind of people. I always find the people that won't let go of them, but never use them. There's one I asked about 3yrs ago they couldn't let it go not even for money. I still drive past it every so often its still just standing there with nothing on it. What a waste.

    Isn't she pretty

    That's a pristine looking radio. Im a sucker for the old stuff. That's probably why my wife is 5 years older than me:ROFLMAO:

    Sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask.

    After walking around the truck and checking it out, it makes me sick how these people abused my old truck. It ran and was drivable when they took it in the house deal, now its pretty much a shell. The once straight body minus the quarter panels and the usual rusty rocker panels has been dented...

    Sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask.

    Well, this way my wife can't say it doesn't need an LS motor.

    No common sense

    It is hard to be polite to some people these days. I'm one to tend to be triggered buy tone of voice. Sometimes when one of these entitled types tone of voice strikes me the wrong way I have to pause for a second or two before I reply back to them, because if I repeat what's running through my...

    Sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask.

    This evening while I was walking about my property I thought I'd walk back and check on the neighbors property, they live in Colorado but still keep hanging on to their old home place. and I check things out at least once when I'm home to make sure nothing has been messed with. But when I...

    Tornado again

    Glad you and your family are safe. We've had a couple of Tornadoes come pretty close (too close) lately. One came across the lake while I was at work, and one yesterday 20 minutes down the road. The one on the lake was North of us about 18 miles, probably closer as the crow flies. The other was...

    This is a sign you might be OLD!

    My wife got me some Tylenol PM. Been using it for a few nights, I take it about 45 minutes before I lay down for the night. Seems to be helping.

    Hopefully, when I'm in my 70s I'm in as good of shape as you guy's
