Hey guys that was cool, just wish band conditions were a little better. Look forward to hearing more from you guys. Still listening. Ed KC0PZE

Hey Steve, I also hang around 7.238 in the evenings. I like the relaxed atmosphere of the Rottenapple group. Listen for me and jump in, and we can have a QSO. I would like to personally invite all the Hams here on the forum to stop by and join in. A real informal group that tslks about...

Check out my stuff for sale in the for sale section. 73 Ed

Who called anyone names or insulted anyone? I just espressed my opinion about Alex Jones, and yes I would agree on the money part, they ALL do it for money. Its just funy how when someone disagrees with your assertions that you resort to call others stupid and unimformed. I will say this that...

Yes, and it's very hard to believe that there are people who will listen and believe that kind of conspiracy drivvile. But since their are people who do it give guys like Alex Jones a platform and the most important reason for their tactics, MONEY. If anyone wants to know why I don't come here...

Well guys, I don't really have a certain freq on 17 that I hang out on. It is such a small band anyway. 18.130 seems to be a freq that is used for general calls tho. I do hang out on 14.300 a lot tho, Maritime Mobile service net, and check in pretty frequently. Stu, tune to 3.989 on thurs eves...

Just made a contact with ZL1AMO, Ron in Auckland NZ. Nice fella to visit with. I went to his webste, and was impressed with all the DX awards he has won. He gave me a 5/5 report, and I was barefoot at 100 watts.Great fun 73 Ed

Stu, the TS520 is a crystal controlled radio, therefore it is capable of 11M. You will need to get crystals and insert them on the AUX portion of the band switch. The 520 is a great rig,(no WARC bands tho ), would be a great addition to your shack. 73 Ed

I have a pair of the little junkie HH's ffrom Walmart, and a Relm WHS450b programed with GMRS and 1 Amatuer frequency. Always looking for more. 73 Ed

WQCP725, Here and on the air.

Garth, don't get bit by the AM bug!!! I hear the side effects are painful and long lasting. Like 10 miunute keydowns and hearing constant hetrodyne :D . Thats cool tho, those old transmitters are neat pices of gear. Now you know what the old timers used to deal with. 73 Ed

Stu, I hope you took my post with the sarcasism I intended. If you take the time and set your G5RV up as per the directions, and pay close attention to details, (feedline must run perpindicular for the exact amout of feet, it is part of the antenna), height above ground, the angle if the legs...

They radiate poorly in all directions :roll: . Seriously, get antennas that are resonant on the bands you want to use. Then if you ever get an amp you have to upgrade that tuner. 73 Ed

Wish Iwas going to the Nextal race but I am going to the next best one. The Busch boys are at Pikes Peak and I do have tickets. Supposed to be 97 degrees, kind of hot ,bit I'm sure we will enjoy anyway. 73 Ed

WHAT?????????? :shock: :P :) :D

$2.42 for regular $2.54 for diesel SUCKS

I would say I operate mostly on 17 meters on HF, which is not in the poll. 2 Meters by far I spend the most time on though. Lets see,I have antennas so that I can operate on all the HF bands except 160. 75 meters when I am net control for the Columbine traffinc net and rag chewing with the...

Stu, you are 100% correct about the phone privledges on 10 meters. Actually a Tech+ has CW privledges on 80, 40, 15, and 10 along with what you just mentioned. 73 Ed :D

The 572b tubes are a very durable transmitting tube. you have to be very mean to them to make them go south. 1800 volts is probably the minimum you would want to run them at, they run better at around 2500. Check your idling current on the plates. to do this key the amplifier with no carrier or...
