It is one thing to be sent off to fight am enemy that will try and kill you by all means necessary including NBC warfare and be able to respond with equal or superior fire power. It is quite another to be set off to fight an enemy that you cannot attack and can not defend against. That is the...
That was always my belief too CK on SSB, but as you can see I was doubting myself as I sometimes do. Thanks for reassuring me that I was origionaly correct in my thinking. 73's
The problem presented by Ebola in this country will continue to increase unless drastic measures are taken. Gov't isn't the answer at least under the current gutless leadership. Our health care& disease control system is run-a-muck because there is no leader. By design we have been with out a...
Probably the best example comparing the most used modes I found this rather interesting to see the band widths and here the difference, now I can SEE why LSB is preferred to USB.
I have a refer full of Lone Star out in the shop at all times.
Now see Robb there you go Real Texas Red don't have no tomatoes. Tomatoes belong in the salsa cruda right next to the Texas caviare.
Leon River aint hot just a little back heat on the way down. My Boiler Maker Chili now that is hot...
I live on Tortillas. I always have a Big sack of masa in the kitchen. The corn chip option is for all the chili eaters that buy their tortillas in plastic sacks at the Piggly Wiggley but then they probably make chili & bean soup:eek:
With the weather cooling down and Foot ball on the weekends i tend to dive into the National dish of the Republic of Texas a little more often. What is the National dish of the Republic of Texas you ask Why that would be Chili. True Texas Red if ya looking for the beans look elsewhere. Beans in...
Install an extra battery just for your radio, I just fail to understand the need for a stereo sys you can hear 3 blocks away with speakers less than 3 ft from your ear. makes my hearing aides buzz just thinking about it.
Having had the opportunity to run my mouth locally in 49 states and Canada for the better part of 30 years channels 2, 22, 12, 30, 31, and 3 are the least used.
Good luck with the BF-F8+ I had one delivered on Monday and It went back today I put it on My base antenna at 40 ft and could not hit a repeater that is 12 mi away I was however able to hit it when I could see the top 1/3 of the tower by eye at about 1 mi. Might have just been that radio...
The txmit power on SSB comes from the ALC and that is controlled with the mic gain. The only time a Power mic is really of value is if the radio is modulating at less than 100%. Since you have had a P&T done and I hope it was done properly a power mic IMO would be self defeating, as you would...
A good stock mic on SSB will sound better than a noise canceller. Modulation over 100% is defeating on SSB because you will over drive the ALC and your speech will be clipped and garbled.
I like biscuits with Mustard Mmmmmhmmm! I have 3 hobbies Radio, BBQ, & Likker. I have no choice but to be a good cook I'd starve go thirsty and end up a silent key if I wasn't.
Maybe I I'm daft but I believe the question posed by 8113 was what he could do to help out the receive on his station because of all the dirty stations around him. Installing a Beam would help a little if the dirty stations where off the side and some what if in the rear but if he needs to swing...
Trees sway in the Breeze and the Dipole needs to move with them. Secure one sides Guy rope to the tree Fast. On the opposite end run the Guy rope through a pulley and put enough weight on the rope to maintain tension. I use closeline pully and an old Maxwell House coffee jug with some rocks in...
