Yes indeed. You have great taste in music, Crawdad!

TK 981 is a great radio. I have a few of those, as well as a couple of 481s.

Might try to make a contact on 927.5 simplex. It's been many years since I actually went all in on FD, but a 927 contact is rare enough to make it fun again.

That's a great way to learn the code. Just have that playing at a low level, while you do other things.

3rd gen Econoline:

We're talking about two different points here: chassis longevity on one hand, engines on the other. I'll address the chassis first. Ford Econoline vans are a great example to illustrate my point. I'm really not a Ford fan, but I have a lot of experience driving the Econoline in a professional...

I had one of these for about 15 years until it was recently stolen. It had the original 318 with 2 barrel carb and 3 on the tree, no overdrive of course. It got 20+ mpg on regular gas when I used it for my daily commute, which was 50 miles each way of 75 percent highway and 25 percent stop and...

MMM is a smart guy who knows his antennas. I also really like the fact that he has a camo fullsize Cherokee that (except for different antennas) looks almost identical to mine, that I have had for over 25 years!

Those full size Jeeps are awesome trucks. I've had a few Wagoneers.

Talked to 006 in Chicago this afternoon in my mobile. 38 LSB.

Lots of strong signals from the Great Lakes region today. I didn't hear England, but did hear some folks talking about hearing/working them.

Russian UAZ-452. I'd love to have one. Of course mine would be bristling with antennas! Here's another one:

Michigan is coming in strong on 38 LSB.

I agree with this. And listen to it when you're doing other things. Try listening at 25-30 wpm so you can get used to hearing entire words. Also, get on the Novice/Tech portion of 80/40/15 and work stations! That helps more than anything, and folks there are willing to QRS.

International, too:

I like old Jeep butt busters too:
