    Sample questions

    Can anyone point be to the site for Canadians that have sample questions, or a study guide for general status for Ham radio. I think it consists of 100 questions. Thanks

    Antenna question

    LOL good question musky Atually I told him about the exchange after, but you could have a point. I phoned another store and just asked the guy the same question. I didn't say I was looking to buy, only that I have this question to ask. He said right off the bat that the 1000 would get...

    Uniden Refurbished PC-68

    Antenna question

    I do agree Musky, I may take that lil will back tomorrow or the next day, and exchange it for the 1000. The thing is I have to exchange it for the Wilson with in 10 days or I'm stuck with the lil wil. I'm forced to buy it at this store thats selling them for 125.00

    Antenna question

    doing a lot of reading on the Wilson 1000, it gets great reviews right across the board. I may invest. Also, I did a search on two forums for Larson antennas and nothing came up. I thought these were a good antenna, as in one of the best, yet I don't see any info on them. :?

    Antenna question

    Ok folks I would mind some advice. I recently (4 days ago) purchased a Wilson lil wil. So far I like it, but my dad dropped a Larson 3.5 inch Motorola type magnet off and suggested me taking my little wil back and buy the Larson NMO-27 BCO Coil and the Larson W-490 (49 inch) whip cost...

    Canada drops CW requirement for HF!!!

    I was just talking to my Father about this. He has been a ham operator for well over 20 years and has the Morse code down pat. I on the other hand would like to get my general licence, but will go the written exam route. Has anyone completed this exam for Canadians??
