The World Wide VHF/UHF Contest starts Saturday morning & goes thru Sunday afternoon so if it is Open like it was today on 6 meters it will be a Busy Band & that's Great.

Call Cal at hamrepair.com in Texas & speak with him about it. He's an Honest guy & he will give you the straight answer so you will know what you are dealing with. He's repaired several radios for me over the years & several friends as well & we trust his judgement & services. Tell him I said...

YEASU = YAESU & more than likely it will Not work. The LDG meter that was made for the ICOM 7700 works with the ICOM 7800 but it can't do both bands just one, but it does work. Basically, the same radio with two independent receivers.

I have one in my collection of (48) D-104's but I have never used it with the Bells & Whistles which I would never use. I did not know it was that model when I purchased it since someone put a regular amplified base cover on it. I only use it like a standard amplified D-104.

I currently have an ICOM 7610, ICOM 9100, ICOM 7000, ICOM 725, ICOM 575H, ICOM 703+, ICOM 4100A, ICOM 2730A, ICOM ID-51A+2, ICOM O2AT, ICOM 2AT & an ICOM PW-1. I also have a YAESU FT-920 & I have no issues with any of them. I have had Terrible service from YAESU over the years but the 920 was so...

Are these the DXA or SDX versions? I used an 800SDX for 23 years with no issues & I now have the 800DXA with no issues. I have never heard of this issue so it's news to me. The only difference is the models I have owned have the memories & the regular 800's do not.

Could you post a picture of the FT-807? I Googled it & came up with Nothing & I have never heard of that model either? What bands & modes does it cover & is it a base or a Mobile Radio?

Depends upon how much money you have. Rohn 45 is a Beast & will be here 25 years longer than you but it's very heavy & not easy to stack. Also depends upon what antennas you are putting on it. Most people are plenty happy with Rohn 25 but don't buy the New crap because it's made in Mexico & lots...

My Favorite Amateur Radio that I have owned was my ICOM 7700 Because it was BEAST on the desk & on the air. My Favorite CB was either my Browning Golden Eagle MK IVA or my DAK X. The Eagle for AM & the DAK for SSB. The MK IVA was the Loudest CB I have ever heard or owned with the Browning desk...

6 METERS has been WIDE OPEN all day here in EM80 across North America. Lots of PHONE QSO's Today 5/28/25 & it is great hearing VOICES & not a bunch of Digital Signals.

But you must decide what are Human Lives worth? A Baofeng would be my last choice. I have an ICOM ID-51a+2 that I depend on. I have more confidence in my Old ICOM O2AT or Radio Shack HTX-202 than a Baofeng.

I would hate to know my life depended upon a Baofeng. If you are going to trust your life to a radio buy a quality radio because your life & others lives are worth every penny you spend. You can but a 50 or so watt dual band mobile & a good lithium-ion battery of 12 to 15 amp hours & operate...

I would Never use Silicone. I use 3M Electrical Tape & Coax Seal. Birds will peck Silicone off, but they will not touch Coax Seal & Coax Seal will last far longer & it will Not allow any form of moisture in. It's so good I use it on my boat trailer lights & they get submerged & it does not fail...

I was shocked as was my neighbor when I showed him the difference. The Hustler is Tiny but it kicks my Antron's Butt on the air. I don't know what it would have done at 35' but I have no doubt it would have been even better. I needed more bands since my New tower is not up with the 6 band Yagi...

I had my Antron 99 at 35' & thought it was doing a great job. I mounted a Hustler Resonator on a pipe in my back yard at just 3' & the Hustler outtalked & out heard the Antron with ease. I worked lots of stations on the Hustler that I could not even hear on the Antron. I never heard any stations...

Well 6 meters is Open at the moment & actually phone QSO's being made & just FT8. 10:00am 5/18.25

I don't care how RARE a contact is my computer is NOT making a contact. If it's not made on Phone by ME it's NOT being made. I'm NOT contributing to the Laziness. As Elvis said, I did it my way.

I Retired in February 2013 & I have said that every week is 6 Saturdays & 1 Sunday & All of them are AWESOME & my wife does not give me a Honey Do list & never has in over 25 years. She's a Winner & she purchased me an ICOM PW-1 when I Retired back then so I'm keeping her.

I got them on 20 & 17 yesterday. I need 10,12, & 15.

You sound like me. DX Is KING for me. I worked Z68TT on 17 & 20 Yesterday & looking for them on 10,12, & 15 now. The 1st two were not that hard. 6 Meters is still my Favorite Band & 17 Meters for HF. I love working a RARE one on The Magic Band & I got a couple of New ones a couple of days ago in...
