    Is www.hamforum.com down?

    Yea I can view again too. Before I would click on a thread and it would tell me I was banned. I also then saw a thread where they were discussing putting a time event on the verification process. If you did not complete typing the verification in a set period it would automaticaly assume you...

    Mysteriously lost my base Antenna feed today

    The concept of it being in the Lightning arrestor is good because, other than just checking the tighness of that connection I did not take it apart. So thats a good next place to start. And yes, moisture could get in there. Its under the eve of the house but its sitting straight up and down. I...

    Using PA questions.

    Yea... seems I was under the wrong impression of them. And if it varies then I will just have to adapt to that. For some reason I just figured there was a different hole for the speaker and a different setting for a reason. But really, in this case, its more like and external speaker which there...

    Ok this is my stupid question...

    Well... has anyone? Just want to know if its worth the money. Yes, I wasn't too worried about them being "out of date" so much as I was using them as an example of the type of questions I might see. I mean, out of date or not, they are still probably typical of the format and the types of...

    Using PA questions.

    Don't go postal on me switch.:) I not even worried about the mic. I was concentrating on getting the PA to work like I wanted. Heck I didn't even take the time to check the mic. When it would not broadcast to the other mobil I just swaped it and got that far. But still didn't get as far as...

    See... but you delt with it and the actions that you took to deal with it you take responsibility for it. Your actions were sensible and reasonable. His actions were not. But they were still his actions. Or should we say over action. Some just don't take the right actions. And so they are...

    Ok this is my stupid question...

    has anyone done the "Amateur Radio License Course - EC-010" which is the ARRL's online course? According to the ARRL's locator South Carolina is a wasteland of courses and test sites. It may be that they are just not kept up because there are some clubs in the area but I do not know how...

    Ok this is my stupid question...

    Well... the practice test I have been taking are QUITE technical. So I don't think its been dumbed down that much. But this may be different because the one I have used so far is the one linked on eHam. http://www.eham.net/exams/ I think the question pool it is using is the 2004 and...

    Using PA questions.

    Hmm.... well.... I intended to use it as a PA. Not an external speaker. I mean "PA" means Public ADRESS! So I should be able to address. So what the heck is up with calling this thing an address system if indeed it is only a External Speaker? I had this mic I got from you Jim, with this...

    Is www.hamforum.com down?

    Well normaly you just get a message back that you failed to do something or some such wrong if you did indeed. Not an automatic ban of the user name. When they are set up to call for a verification, the robot just cannot do it so it is enough just to deny confirmation if it does not do the copy...

    Using PA questions.

    Yes... that useless feature that appears on your Radio.... For one reason or another I am trying to actually USE it! Which brings up a few questions... since it seems that CB reception goes out through the Megaphone... what channel would one use it on? What CB channel is oft not used...

    Ok this is my stupid question...

    Yes. I have ordered the ARRL Study guide. Not here yet. I was taking the online tests just to get an idea of how they test and familiarize myself with what they are going to concentrate. And just to see what other parts of my 50 years of life may have accidently picked up so I could...

    RCI 2980WX

    They are not single banned. They are advertized that way but they go from 24 something Mhz up to 29 Mhz. In 12 (I think it is) frequency pools. It appears they advertize them as only one band because they would be illegal if they were not. But you will not find them limited to just 10...

    Is www.hamforum.com down?

    Well it did the robot thing the very first time I tried. I made very sure I copied the verification field correctly but thats when it came up and said "Die Robot" and said BANNED. And then later that night I tried to log in just to see if it was some kind of mistake and it said banned. And each...
