Sounds like the Astatic "Bum 1" hand microphone.Pretty hefty/heavy and bulky too I'll bet? Alot of guys swore by there audio but said they were worth it aside from being an ugly mic! I personally never held one or seen one up close let alone heard one. This is just what I always heard and...

Yes you are correct sir. You're so right; I'm confusing the matter at hand aren't I? Just one 4-element beam. I don't think I'll pursue the 5-element. That must be a small beam? 2mtr and or 70cm I'm guessing? Even so,that's pretty darn good! I like all the input here. It's getting fun and...

No stacking Jay. Just one lone set of beams. Probably will just stick w/the 104's anyways.I understand what you mean about the added weight of the steel pipe on the rotor too. Hadn't given that any thought either. Very interesting link Master Chief! Thanks much! "Rotating a beam from...

It's not what you think! I'm thinkin of tryin to use one of these as a way to rotate a set of Maco 104's or 105's from vertical to horizontal and vice-a-versa. If some of you old schoolers out there remember these rotors,they had the "mast thru mount" configuration.I was thinkin of...

There is also a Whiskey Delta group south of me here in Dayton,Ohio.They have there net every Sunday night at 9PM on 27.4750 LSB. Of course the conditions as they have been, they haven't had much DX activity lately.Great bunch of folks tho.They used to have a plain website,but I think it may...

Man,that was along time ago wasn't it? I also split from the EEI forum when Deano started the original WWRF site.I joined his forum,but kinda procrastinated awhile joining the DX club! Been a CDX Club member since 4/29/2002(so the certificate says anyways).Never won a contest either.Just had...

Amen Justin....I couldn't agree more. No shootin' match wanted or started here. Just my opinion. Have a nice day everyone; and pass a smile along the way. Slim :)

MURS freq.s (VHF) Channel designation: 1-151.820 2-151.880 3-151.940 4-154.570 5-154.600 Hope this helps ya out.A very useful band.My family has been using since it's inception.Much quieter than the 11-mtr band! Slim

I'll be there Friday and probably Saturday too.Gots to stock up on the ol hardware goodies.Runnin low these days. I would love to pick up a new rig of some sort,but,money's tight these days don't ya know. Still love to go and slobber all over the latest,greatest,and newest gizmo's & rigs tho...

:roll: I couldn't help myself guys and gals.Boy,conditions were just as I suspected they would be.Very bad! Now we can all look forward to the upswing of the cycle eh? Sure miss hearing you all in my radio.Kinda lonely for now.LOL! Maybe things will shape up for the next contest...

Just do what Butcher said. I did what you're wanting to do and it was alotta work. Got the Dremel and drill out and spent a good hour doing it! Got it all done and "said to self",wow,that sure looks good,why didn't I just snip it off and put that darn connector in place of the "T" connector...

"CRS" Can't remember......oh hell,I forgot again!!! I'm glad I don't suffer from whatever that stuff is :) Round these neck of the woods we call it "olzhimers",not "oldtimers".But it still boils down to the same darn thing!!! As my dear ol uncle used to say,"it sure don't pay to get...

I like my VX5R the best and right behind it would be my VX1R.BUT,then again,those are the only 2 I've ever used! :lol: Can't afford any others at this time.Would like to try the VX2R someday. Slim

Unfortunately the batteries froze.Speculation by NASA anyway! It stopped transmitting after a few hours in orbit.Bummer;and I was even awake for it's pass-over at my QTH.Oh well,next time? Slim :D

Y'all can count me in ! I'll be there again,and again,and again! Unless something catastrophic happens of course :shock: Slim

I had one.I loved it! Best "CB" base since the 2000GTL. A friend of mine just had to have it so it went home w/him. I do miss it tho. I'd like to have another,but since I got my amatuer ticket,I'd rather invest in some other gear now. I really don't believe you'll be dissapointed in this...

Wow;gotta love it my friends! In 10 posts we went from a thank you for advice,to happy holidays,to boobies on da hood :lol: BUT,anyway's,this IS the best forum for any and all info concerning "worldwideDX" and such! (and then some.LOL) Peace and Goodwill to all,and a Very Prosperous New...

It's the older "T" model.Just wondering if y'all have used or had any experience w/this rig? I got it for a song and it's darn near mint.Only been tinkering w/it for a few hours at most and am very pleased so far.Gimme some input,if ya got it.LOL...

:( Sad indeed! I got my delta force from him when they first came out.Ready to go out the door,and it's been a great performer for sure.Talked w/him on the phone when placing the order and he was VERY professional and courtious.A "gentlemen" to say the least.I think w/all the competition...

Maybe the ones you're trying to get a radio check from are running coded squelch? Try your handheld for some distance checks and see how it works that way.Of course you're gonna have to have someone help out on the other end. Slim
