It's all good, Switch......I understand the term kill joy, I was just a messenger trying to not get shot. :wink:

......you would think so, but if you look at the FCC frequency allocation list some are listed as "Government Agency" and if I remember right, other agencys (local?) were mentioned. Dosen't mean they use them much, kinda like a roll of the dice. I use the extras myself if I want to get away from...

...........I'm not sure what your true meaning is here (kill joys) if you are refering to what I posted, I was just giving a heads up to someone who may not have been around long enough....just trying to be helpfull, not a frequency cop......where a person talk at dosen't matter to me. I just...

.......Ok, thanks a bunch freecell. I give it a try :)

For what it's worth, some of the "extras" might still be used by government agencys....so you might want to check on that. The reason I mentioned it, awhile back a couple of friends of mine were run off a frequency by someone they said was a government official (I can't say for a fact if he was...

I got an old Archer(Rat Shack) 1/2 wave antenna in on trade. It's in good shape, except the 3 radial (ground plane) elements are gone along with the 3 "top hat" rods. I downloaded a manual which dosent show the length of the radials. They appear to be ~3 to 4 feet long. If anyone knows the...

Happy Birthday Sonwatcher, I wish you many more......good people deserve that :)

Welcome from the Smokey Hills of Tennessee :Wavey

That's the way a Ham friend taught me many years ago. I would sit with him while he studied by listening to the sounds on tape. He used word/sentence association for each letter, comma, full stop, ect. An example would be: .-.. dit dah dit dit, then he would say "the hell with it" I guess the...

Damn.......I'm finally in agreement with you CWM! Evedently that poster either forgot or don't have a clue about Naval warfare when they used Morse via (shutter spots?) from ship to ship (or shore). Also in WW1 and 2, Morse was used alot and no doubt saved thousands of lives. So I guess that...

................I agree, and all you have to do is listen to the words in some of the songs he wrote.....especially towards the end of his life. I was and still am a fan, from the start...Nirvana paved the way for other great Seattle(sp?) "grunge" bands such as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In...

I also came over from the EEI forum somewhere between 01 and 02. Glad to see your ok, Dealer and sorry to hear about the 2950DX and the damage that the low life/s caused. 73's.....Pluto.

........Supernova :lol that was a good one!

..................I'll second that :)

.......interesting read, sad thing about it is....add that, plus the sanctions that will likely be placed on them will cause more poverty.....just to make a little man look big :roll:

.............Oh yeah, Black Oak Arkansas....Jim Dandy to the rescue :) great list, the hardest song I learned to play was Green Grass And High Tides by the Outlaws.....I'm working on the song Rebel To Rebel by 38 Special from the Live At Sturgis CD.

.............you'll be glad you got it....I have several radios including a 2 Yaesu 101 series, but the Grant XL on a 20 amp power supply is my main talker. I voted Uniden as well.

............Mabye not, but ask yourself: "Why was this limiter installed at the factory?" Some people are so impressed when they see that swing on the wattmeter.....after clipping D whatever or removing Q whatever. Then you put that same radio on a Bird 43 and see the look of confusion on thier...

you're welcome :wink:

.....I'm far from being an expert :) but have years of experience( started at 15...now 48 ) and do repair work from time to time. There are many on this forum that are way ahead of me in the knowlege dept. But anyway.....don't worry about the radio being made in Taiwan, as long as it hasn't...
