For me I guess it depends what you want to put on top of it and if you want new? I have an old CDR-2 with a 32' 16 element 2 meter beam on it and has been there for years. Made in the 50's and still standing the test of time. Took it down before the snow hit and going back up when the season...

Go for it Bob and have fun with it. Once you get your ticket you will be "bit by the bug" and will face something that new and experienced HAM's face. A learning curve in the hobby for the rest of your days as there is so much to know, learn and share as this is a hobby of experimentations...

Time are a 'changing alright. Cell phone, text... Been there done that.. Hey kid,, have you ever heard of a CB... No... let me show you.. One more bit by the bug!!

But not an "in the moment" local voice! My point is hat the trucker in front of you has nor your or his number !! The CB does!!! INSTANT!!

T23 Another interesting point of view!

I disagree, the people I talked to all week on my Ham and CB on the road back and forth to work and from home do NOT have my e-mail addy nor my cell phone number and never will. We would never have spoke if it were not for these modes of communication. I like the way people say that new...

I've been watching this thread as well and something hasn't been said. I was a CB'er in the mid 70's and gave it up when the skip was too much to talk to my friends 20-30 miles away. Later on I got my ticket so we could speak again. Recently I set up a Uniden PC 66XL in my vehicle as a new...

Things have been in the plans for some days now. We were told 2, then 1 and today 3. I was hoping for NONE! To simply go back Home and not have to do this. But I did. You see, what I am referring to here, is visiting sick children in the hospital. They were mild cases but none the less...

Hi Wooden Frog. As you know any coax is ok for RX. As with any coax as well, as long as the SWR is ok you should be fine. Go for it and check it out. Keep the TX short until the SWR is established to be ok. Use the lowest power available for your tests. Check for a clear frequency and call...

Roger fixed and tuned my 2510 as well. Great compliments on it's performance. Easy person to deal with. tracker.

Ok, I tried it tonight. It's what it is. No harm no foul. No hidden secrets or false claims. It would be a good medium for those who cannot put up an antenna and have the radio feel. If one takes the time to read the site information, it clearly states it's a simulation only! In my opinion...

If you search IRLP with your favorite search engine and find this site, there are many questions that will be answered. Upon my return to HAM radio after many years, I was amazed that such technology existed. tracker.

You should be posting this in the "Tech, & Repair" section to get a wider audience and a better chance of getting an answer. tracker.

I think I know what your asking but if I'm "off track", I apologize. I asked a few people on some local repeaters what they use to keep track of contacts and how you can just enter a callsign in a database I could use on a local machine. The reply was most of them use "Ham Radio Deluxe". If...

Does anyone know of a Kenwood dealer in the Ottawa, Ontario. Canada region? I'm looking for a hand mike/speaker but do not know if my radio is working alright as I have ordered one from China and does not work. I would like to find a dealer, walk into the shop, plug it in and if it works...

On a local nightly net here, there is always a reading. Last night one of the readings was from an ARRL page stating that they are considering putting a HAM station on the American side of the ISS as well. Hopefully this would give more contact time. tracker.

Happy Thanksgiving triple nickel from a Canadian neighbour. tracker

triple nickel. P.M sent in answer to your question. tracker

Roger is finishing mine up and I am SURE, I will be quite pleased with the results. Reasonable rates and a very easy person to deal with. tracker

ZuMBLe I recently stumbled upon a website called GlobalTuners.com I realize that you might want to use your tuner so this may not be for you? If so, disregard this answer. GlobalTuners are radios set up around the globe. You get to use their expensive setups and actually tune the radios...
