Yeah, nothing really to be happy about, other then we have our freedom because of those that gave it their all. I have a great uncle buried in France from WWI, and numerous others that served in nearly every conflict from the civil war on. If you see a soldier, thank them for their service...

With this being a forum open to the public, it allows people who may have an interest in Todd's attitude to see it first hand. I'm going to bet, that a few, if not alot of members active on this thread have notified the 10-10 club about this thread, and related activities. I would venture to...

As they say, you are the company that you keep. If the entire 10-10 club is supportive of that behavior, there is nothing that interests many of us there. Doesnt matter what license you have, when you got it, or how you got it. If you act like like a reject on the air, then that is what you are.

:oops: lol :pop:

I have a strong feeling, like about an S-9 on the meter, that at least one person has sent a link to that youtube video to the president

Workers List of names and emails of directors and president of the 10-10 club.

Do any of these clubs ever kick out members for portraying a bad image of their club, etc?

Sounds familiar. Had nimrod here on a local repeater get nasty on the air and run my wife off. Still working on getting her back on.

Last time I tried the cb here in the front range, it was pretty quiet. I know theres chatter up in the mile high city, but south of there by an hour, you dont hear alot, even on ssb. When I drove truck, I heard every manner of behavior, some decent folks, especially in the western...

I can understand that, as I see it in my field of work, guys who dont even know how to use the tools of the trade. One thing though, the stupidest question is the one you never ask. If someone doesnt know something, dont run him thru the ringer because he doesnt know, instead help him figure...

Pretty good post, but the appliance operator, I would be a little more forgiving about. We all are appliance operators to an extent, as there are alot of things you simply can not repair on the newer stuff.

Congrats on passing from a new tech here. Ive already been egging the wife on about taking the general with me. How do you like your 1900? Apt dweller here, so lots of limitations on that spectrum. 73, KD0PWN

Welcome aboard. Wife and I passed our tech exams last month. Took 6 days for the FCC to post the call signs. Congrats, and maybe we will hear you on the air soon.

Getting back to the OP, it would be wise to learn the material in the test questions, as it may serve you at a later date when operating. Understanding antenna theory goes a long ways, as well as knowing the different modes, etc, as well as being able to understand a wiring diagram. It may not...

Alot of the test content I retained, as I can put some of it to some use with the work I do. My wife, its all but useless to her. It would be useful as Capt KW said, to know at least ohms law, etc. Knowing how many amps something uses, when all you have is amps and volts can be helpful, and...

I cant comment on the differences in the test questions, between the US, and Canada, but even here, this was a few questions on caps, resistors, etc. I dont have any intentions of doing any major circuit board work, but, if I wanted to pass the test, I had to study up. It wasnt that hard to...

One antenna I am seeing, a Comet SSB-1NMO, is a 1/4 wave for 2m, 1/2 for 440, and is really flexible. That looks like it may work for me. I could probably do a roof mount with that. Is there any real advantage to NMO mounts vs pl-259 style?

Here is one idea I have seen for mounting an antenna. Icom in Liberty I take it mounting up by the roof or on the roof would be better though, right?

Almost all of them in the area are on top of Cheyenne mountain, well above NORAD. Dont recall the elevation, but 10k feet I believe? Its to the SW of town. My apartment faces north however.

Aww makes sense. Ive seen Larsens, Comets, and Diamonds so far. I havent decided if I want to get a dual band or a single band, but to be safe, a 2m/70cm antenna would be the best bet right? Ive seen a variety of lengths as well, too. I would run the longest I can, but when I park in the car...
