    Any new headset mic alternatives

    yeah, I came across a traveler a few years ago, it did work as advertised, but,.... I gave it away free;). I like the PRO ELETE head set,.. nice ear cushions, I mostly use it for field day to cut out the background noise.

    Home brew tower pics

    AL-811 amp and magnum 257hp

    thats the best option available for that rig. a foot/hand switch that first keys the amp, and then keys the rig, and verse visa on unkeying. or get a radio with a real amp keying circuit

    Digital TV

    in a way it is, and also in a way, it is not. the old analog signals were VHF and the digital signals are now UHF, so, the 54 MHz yagi VHF tv antennas are not the best for the present UHF digital signals. however, after reading the article, I agree, the author doesn't have a clue about OTA...

    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    blah, blah, blah,....... there is a difference between 41 years of experience and 6 months of experience 82 times.<gotproof> the U.S. system of emission regulation is outdated and arcane, the Canadian system makes much more sense.
