    I Don't Know if it is "bad form" to ask about one "forum" on another one......

    Yeah I remember seeing you there but then the site started having problems with messaging so I drifted away from it and the site had problems with people not being able to get in so I guess others drifted away. Until it fell flat on it's face. I had problems getting into cbradioforum.com a few...

    Unit 399 JJ in Medellin Colombia

    It's not easy to have a love-one pass away but I watched my mom struggle with her body slowly shutting down and pass away 5 days after turning 94 and that wasn't pleasant to watch by no means and I actually prayed to God to take her because she didn't deserve that humiliation.

    Unit 399 JJ in Medellin Colombia

    Sometimes there is no warning signs with a heart attack or stroke. My ex-father in law went that way. He got up to go outside to do something and dropped over dead with the big one. It is a shock to the family but the poor bugger didn't lay around and suffer. The only better way would be in your...

    I Don't Know if it is "bad form" to ask about one "forum" on another one......

    That site gets wonky every now and then and acts up on me also. I got locked out for a long time because the site got hacked. If you continue to have problems message me and I"ll give you Drays phone number and you can call him and he will get Slim to get you back in. Dray is on this site also...

    What year and why did you get into the Radio Hobby?

    Can't say for sure but my first radio was early to mid 70s and a bare bones Royce 23 channel AM mobile. It could talk for a poor boys budget.

    Why are Bird meters all the rage?

    This is the meter that sets on my radio bench 95% of the time hooked up because I like the features it has, Dosy TC-4002 SW-4 Watt Meter When I first got it I took it to a small radio shop and had it calibrated to a Bird meter and it hasn't messed up a radio yet on me. The only thing was it was...

    The solar site said conditions were Good all weekend and the radio was active. Here it is Monday morning, my PITA neighbor is gone to work and the solar site says conditions are poor today ! LOL We will see how this plays out.

    Reclaim LSB 16

    I jumped on 40 USB late afternoon and what I heard was faint also. All & All I would rate yesterday better for DX then today but that is just my 2 cents !

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I didn't get time to set at the radio today but had the 2547 hooked to the West Mountain Radio Processor and it was killing it all day clear as a bell. It had my mind going wild with thought of Extra Channels & VFO Mods for that radio. I never thought that radio would sound that good. And at...

    I won a Radioddity QT80!

    Well he is a good friend you could count on to be there for you if you need help. He's smart with a lot of valuable experience and use to be into DXing back in the day but had to get out of it like me because of husband & father duties were priority. The poor bugger now has some serious health...

    I won a Radioddity QT80!

    Is the Radioddity QT80 the same radio as the Anytone Q6 Pro ? I'm trying to convince my buddy to get a new radio instead of a Old base station which he will have to repair and it won't have all the features. And I'd like to save him some money if I could..

    Yes conditions have been very good the last few days and enjoy when I can get time for the radio. The trouble has been Old Man Winter is beating us up with snow and been doing snow removal at my place and my daughters place while she takes a small break in Florida. But still can be thankful for...
