To paraphrase Shane, “A gun is a tool; No better or worse than the man that uses it.” SOME people don’t have the responsibility to do anything, but the Billions that do, never make the news.

A few weeks ago I made and put up a 40/20/10 fan dipole. Length was not a problem, but the spread hung down so far that I had to cut top wires (40M) off because I could not get it up in the air high enough to get under it. I just run a 20/10meter dual band dipole. 20 meters works great, but...

I recently picked up a little SignaLink SL1+ to interface my radio with my computer. It has it's own built in sound card and VOX PTT to activate the transmit on my radio. However because the SignaLink connects to the computer sound card (they do make USB SignaLink models, but I got mine used...

Thanks for all encouragement, tips and stories. I just bought a HF antenna tuner from FleaBay that is on the way, but most of the band measures below 2:1 and with 1.5:1 being the best I can do with this antenna for now. My 10 meter portion of this dual band antenna has a really narrow useable...

I know this is not too exciting for most of you seasoned operators, but I just recently upgraded to General. I just made my longest 2-way HF voice conversation tonight with Jefferson County, Montana’s QSO Party from here from NC. According to Map Quest KD7DCR is 2188 highway miles from me. He...

After I got my Tech license, and I first began looking for a base radio; I wanted one that I could grow into, because I knew I would probably want to use it for many years before I could ever afford to get another one. I wanted a radio that could do more than I knew or were allowed to do. Back...
