    Video gate ch6 MMM and Witch Doctor

    I was listening to MMM a couple few days ago and he was saying that the new beam was such a tight beam width (25 degrees) that it was just to much trouble to go out and keep turning the beam by using the ropes (no rotor).

    My watergate youtube channel. Check it

    Well 025, like I said, I could of gotten my license in '74, (why "74 you ask - cuz that's 2 yrs after I got my 1st radio) and several of the hams in the area were pushing me really hard to get the ticket, and like you were saying - it's lots easier to work other bands. While this is true that...

    My watergate youtube channel. Check it

    It's really not much fun to do it easier, I could of got my license back in '74 if I wanted to. I set a goal in the beginning - talk to as many countries (dxcc) that I can on 11 meters, using just a mobile radio, and no amplifier. So now, that is what I call making it a challenge.

    My watergate youtube channel. Check it

    I just don't know - for me I am very content in having a contact to Thailand for 40 minute's or a nice QSO with a lady in Indonesia for an hour, and only using 100 watts to do it on 11 meters. For 49 years now, ch 6 has never given me a thrill, oh well, as one would say - que sera sera .............

    Was at my favorite gun store

    Back in the mid 90's when I had my FFL, I bought 5000 L.R. Mag primers and some 12,000 bullets of various calibers, I was able to get them all at the wholesale price cuz of my license. But, I just gave it all away to our son this last summer, so he is pretty well set for all his pistol's and...

    Most Popular Freeband Frequencies

    In the 4-5 yrs around the peak of the cycle, anywhere from 27.420 to 27.670, I would say that 60% of the operators that I talk to around the world are ham op's. Which this is not a bad thing, for I do have some very nice qso's with them. In the last cycle I did find a few stations from...

    RCI 2995 DX

    I just sold a 2995dx this summer to a guy in California. The radio had a better RX as compared to some of my other 2970's. I used a Turner +3 on it and a 575, both mics work just fine, the +3 had a little more audio than the 575, but both work just fine.

    any airgun fans here ?

    The Marauder is a straight shooter for sure. Just make sure to keep the air dry, moisture will really cause problems inside. Mine shot the Benjamin pellets really good out to 60 yds and also the JBS Kings were very accurate.

    I thought this was interesting.....

    Being unable to connect to the internet and experiencing slowdowns is frustrating enough, but imagine it happening every day, at exactly 7 am, for 18 months. That’s what residents of a small village in Wales experienced before the unlikely cause was discovered: an old television set. Openreach...
