Yeah and I bought my SPT Super Penetrator from DX and they didn't collect sales tax but at the end of the year they sent me a tax statement on the purchase and had to file extra forms at the end of the year and pay PA Sales Tax. So DX can Kiss my Back Side and won't get any more money out of me...

Even though the solar site said good for 10-12 meter it didn't apply up here in NE/PA. I heard a very little. A good day to clean up the garage from all the projects.

Thanks and yes I almost have flat line SWR now and that's what I was shooting for and why I did the adjustment before the Fall upswing in DX. In this stinking valley I need all the help I can get. My SWR was OK before but the high channels were slightly higher than the low channels and I wanted...

No that is 25' of 1" Black Iron pipe painted with Aluminum paint because any higher and I would have felt like I needed guy ropes and it becomes unsightly in my opinion. I made my own heavy duty pivot for the bottom so I didn't have to bother anyone for help because they always seem to be in a...

44 degrees this morning high only in the mid 70s today. This weather is whacked out. I'm not complaining, it is working mans temps. but too early for this. It's only the end of Dog Days Aug. Friday & Saturday the high only in the 60s. I wore a long sleeve Tee shirt all day yesterday. Crazy !

Maybe when DX gets rolling I'll be able to reach JJ in Columbia. Now I'd like to hit San Diego and figure I have USA homeland covered except for the far North East which might be impossible because of that man-made mountain up against me on the North East. Except 1 time I did hit Nova Scotia...

Made my first ever 2ea Oregon contacts a few minutes ago and the last one said I was sounding good and so was he. That was my Lincoln II+ so I guess there is some hope for it teamed up with my West Mountain Processor !

I heard some chatter yesterday but couldn't seem to break on thru to the other side.

I spent a little time in my radio room today checking out the activity and discovered a problem with my stock mic of my Lincoln II+ not driving my system & needle on my meter. So I tried 2 other identical president mics and they drove the system just fine. So after taking the bad mic apart top...

LOL I know the feeling. Yesterday was suppose to be a good day but not for here. And today is suppose to be good. We'll see !

Was wondering how people made out today seeing the solar site said conditions would be good today. It wasn't for me but I did make a good local contact on 38 lsb and we chatted for a spell until my Q6 Pro mic seem to start breaking up and quit transmitting some times. Anyone out there ever have...

Nothing wrong with enjoying to learn ! I did the same thing with computers back when I was in Industry and knew I had to stay on top of things to compete in the job market. My first computer was a DOS computer not Windows but I couldn't clear my mind for learning until my X-wife and I...

Turned the radio on this morning and nothing but was suppose to have rain and thunder today so took care of other things and rested up from my Rocker Panel job. This afternoon turned the radio on and heard some promising DX. I like BC C. hope we are going to see things start to change around...

Our town was prosperous 100- years ago when the Railroad run up thru this valley stopping at all these little villages with supplies and passengers. But the Railroad must have seen the writing on the wall and built a cut-off to shorten their route between to large cities. Their-cut off cut this...

My town is full of lazy, low achievers, always looking for a hand out or someone to sell something Real Cheap. It's the product of a by-gone railroad town with no where to go but people live here because taxes are cheap. It's been called a Welfare Town ( Those who get a Gov't check & those who...

Small town USA, less than 500 people. With all the draw backs of neighbors. Closest congested area about 15 mile away. But I don't play well with others but you can't please everyone !

I laugh at you two guys because both of you are miles ahead of me. I wish I had the knowledge and tools you guys have because bench work radio repair is a good retirement job. Sure beats crawling around on the ground doing Body Work ! LOL

I'll be joining your club today. It looks like 100% chance today. No crawling around outside today or radio.

I can feel your pain. You know what they say Life's a Bitch and then you Die. The house I live in was suppose to be my starter house and here I am 49 years later still working on it, because I married the wrong woman. I never wanted to be a carpenter but I paid for it twice and now I disagree...

I just got done with my least favorite job ( Sand Blasting & Straightening ) next is cutting, fitting, & welding, then finishing. Wish I wasn't so fussy and was a Wham Bamm Thank you Mame kind of guy ! I did hear some DX this morning as I was getting ready to Git Err Done. This is too hard on...
