A couple hours ago someone tried answering him and got REALLY pissed when he wouldn't respond, just kept CQ'ing...cussed him out GOOD! I probably would have too if it had been me...LOL...maybe its a good thing my call sign hasn't shown up on the database yet...hehehe. I looked the call...

Someone go to 28.425.0 and see if you can hear KC4TVZ...he's been doing that for over two hours. It reminds me of CB trolls...

No...he didn't still have the manual...thanks for the link. DAMN I wish my call letters had come thru...listening to a couple of guys in south Louisiana clear as a bell...would love to be seeing if I could get back to 'em...

Gary...or anyone else familiar with the 130...I'm feeling rather stupid right now, and am embarassed to ask, but...where's the volume control?

Kenwood TS 130S...seller threw in a mic (wasn't supposed to be included in the deal), a 1:1 balun, ~100ft of rg58, two pl239 connectors w/reducers for the rg58, and an MFJ 30 amp power supply. Call sign STILL hasn't come through yet...probably Monday I guess.

While I am building the fan dipole, will an Antron 99 do any good on 10 meter?

Home from the hospital. I've got a few days of recouperation then its back to thye antenna so I can use this radio that was waiting for me when I got home a while ago. Now THAT is what needs to be waiting for folks when they come home from the hospital...a new (to them) radio. Incidentally...

10, 20, and 40m wire pairs cut and 80m will have to wait. Dark-thirty caught me before I could finish. I still haven't shown up on the database and that disappoints me a bit. I have these dual band Baofengs and I wanna TALK! before heading to the hospital early tomorrow morning... :) I'll be...

Which trees? Wandering around deciding which trees will have the honor of supporting my first homemade antenna I find myself with a couple of questions, one of which I think I know the answer to but am not sure: 1. I'm in extreme north Georgia and I want my best RF radiation to cover as...

Thanks guys...and a question, of course! I'm going to do an antenna like this, except with a 1:1 balun added, just for good measure: MULTI BAND HF FAN DIPOLE ANTENNA DESIGN I do have a question about radial length(s). I'm doint the same 4 bands...10, 20, 40, and 80 meters. I am guessing the...

This is the second of three videos this guy did on programming the Baofengs with Chirp. The others are good too, but this one hits the options you are looking for: <center>Baofeng UV-5R Programming With a Computer, Part 2: CHIRP Basics - YouTube</center> 73's, Bob

One four band...10, 20, 40, and 80...fan dipole coming right up (emphasis on getting 10 working first!).

Options settings are there, just a bit hidden and hard to find. When I get to my computer I'll pull up Chirp and see how to get them...I forget easily and don't remember, even though I was just programming my Baofeng's Saturday... 73's, Bob

Yesterday I couldn't even spell... ...Ham, and tonight I are one! Aced the Technician...:D, but missed 16 on the General...:oops:.

There is a pool with questions along the lines of, "Do modern trancievers run on DC electricity, water, steam, or hamster wheel power?"

OK...radio, power supply, antenna, balun decided on. Next step...COAX. There are so many kinds (though I think for a Ham rig the only two are RG8 and RG 58, right?) and so many "types" and manufacturers I am lost. I still have the tight budget limitations (and will have unless I win the...

Never EVER sell a gun (unless its a Safe Queen). Sell the wife first!

Follow some of the videos that are offered after that one ends and you will find this. After all I've been doing to come up with a radio I could afford, this video makes me ill...LOL...look what this guy just stumbles into: Free SHTF Communications Gear - YouTube

I don't know Ham, buit I DO know computers, and that is the absolute truth. Windows 8 is.....PURE.....UNADULTERATED.....GARBAGE. Period.

You folks don't know how much I enjoyed writing that post, above. Y'all have been a HUGE help to a newbie...guiding me in the right direction on how to get a good radio with a small budget, thoughts on a good homemade antenna that will do a good job, and encouragement on doing well on the...
