    Add this amp to your collection

    When I first saw this amp for sale of on the sale site I thought some over powered Ham had lost his mind building an amp that used two Eimac 3CX3000A7 tubes. But Then I looked closer and saw that there is a CB radio next to it. Nice piece of work but would hate to buy it have it taken away by...

    A signal tracer is pretty easy to use if and only if you know where to inject the signal on the circuit board. So the first thing to do is find the schematics for the radio in question and then trace the signal path beginning at the antenna. Now it would help if you had a signal generator and...

    Looking for ideas for an inexpensive mobile Ant.

    thanks guys that good info. I have a buddy coming over and he is going to loan me a Hustler antenna system which will hold 3 resonators, think he said it is set up currently for 20, 40 and 80 meters which would be decent bands for day and night time driving. Once they date on the trip are firm...

    Looking for ideas for an inexpensive mobile Ant.

    Has anyone used a ham stick antenna for a mobile antenna? I swapped some stuff for mint IC-7000 and I would like to run it for a short time on 20 meters for the County Hunters. Since I will primarily be operating on a single band the expense of a screw driver antenna is to much. If that plan...

    Home from Dayton

    The person I spoke to from Xiegu asked that I not mention price since it is not itched in stone at this time, but I will say if they can bring it to market at the price point they mentioned you will be pleasantly surprised as I think most will be by how affordable it will be.

    Home from Dayton

    Got back from Dayton late last night and have to say the wife and I had a great time there.

I may be wrong but I think there was far more what I call "Junk items"...

    Dayton Hamvention® Awards Committee Withdraws 2013 Amateur of the Year Award

    The rumor that seems to hold the most water is that the person was basically soliciting for this award. If true it is a real shame that this could happen but in this day and age it is no surprise.
