    Starter HAM setup?

    I Had Three Yaesu FT-101 stations & every time I tried using them they would have an issue.All had been recapped & had a new final tube but they were a constant problem.My local Tech passed away so I had no one near me that could work on them every few days.I Sold them all & I don't miss the...

    Coax cable ?

    Not so.Condensation will still allow moisture into the pipe I believe.Humidity is a beast here in Florida and it does.

    IT'S FUNNY HOW THINGS WORK OUT SOMETIMES

    We get South America most every day here in North Florida so it's very possible we could work there with little effort. Congratulations on the tower.

    How much does your station weigh?

    In the shipping box it weighs 77 lbs according to the label on the outside shipping box & that's just the ICOM 7700. I believe the radio weighs 66 lbs itself but I'm not sure if that includes the Big handles that I also have installed because they look COOL & they came with it. The weight of the...

    Can any 2m/70cm antenna be tuned to GMRS 462MHz?

    My Diamond V2000a is resonant on GMRS & has far better gain than my GMRS Base antenna. I have not gotten the V2000a back in the air after changing out the coax & repainting the antenna but I have no doubt that it will work far better than the little GMRS Base antenna since it has three times the...

    WTB am filter

    Look up Goob-WW4US on QRZ.com & email him. He rebuilds the FT-101 radios all of the time & he may have one or can lead you to one. He's a great guy & knows those radios inside & out with his eyes closed. Clayton W4KVW

    Any other hobbies you enjoy?

    LYNYRD SKYNYRD did not have their names on the event shirt because they didn’t make any money from them so you had to buy one of their shirts if you wanted something with their name on it.

    6 Meters is OPEN

    Funny thing about 6 meters is that Lee-KZ4RR & I live about 30 miles apart & we have chatted many many times over the years & we never met face to face until we were both at Dayton Hamvention in 2013. We traveled that far to actually meet face to face. I met several others with the 6 meter crowd...

    6 Meters is OPEN

    I think Farmville is a game of some sort but I don't play games either so it's a guess since I seem to remember seeing someone talking about it somewhere once. Yes, many FT8 stations are Unattended once they get it going. The set it & forget it which as we all know is not legal but so many...

    Mobile 102 Inch Whip w/spring

    They brought one to Orlando Hamcation several years ago & they said they sold very few of them but some did take advantage of them. I'm putting a LIL TARHEEL HP on my pickup this coming week so at 1 lb 9 ozs I don't think I'll need one. I'm replacing the Four Hustler antennas, 6 meter 1/4 wave...
