    Was at my favorite gun store

    I use Ammoseek also like S&W357 stated, I ordered over 2500 rds off that site for my 17 Win. Super Magnum Rimfire last year. Back in 90's I bought a case of 5,000 rds of PMC in 22 LR and they all worked very well. Sold half of them to customers and no reports of miss fires ever came back.

    Remington Brass? I am like WCSOG, I really hated their 22-250 brass for loading, to soft and light weight. But, their 270/'06/7mm mag brass was good and never had any problems with it. Winchester brass is all I every used for the 22-250. If I was to buy just factory ammo now days for rifle &...

    The only Remington shells that I have bought in the last 20 yrs or so, have been just their high performance 12 shotgun shells. These were great for the long shots on coyotes, but sadly they stop making them a year or so later, probably because of the price - $31.30 a box of 10! That's $3.13 ea...

    Video gate ch6 MMM and Witch Doctor

    I was listening to MMM a couple few days ago and he was saying that the new beam was such a tight beam width (25 degrees) that it was just to much trouble to go out and keep turning the beam by using the ropes (no rotor).

    Well 025, like I said, I could of gotten my license in '74, (why "74 you ask - cuz that's 2 yrs after I got my 1st radio) and several of the hams in the area were pushing me really hard to get the ticket, and like you were saying - it's lots easier to work other bands. While this is true that...

    It's really not much fun to do it easier, I could of got my license back in '74 if I wanted to. I set a goal in the beginning - talk to as many countries (dxcc) that I can on 11 meters, using just a mobile radio, and no amplifier. So now, that is what I call making it a challenge.

    My watergate youtube channel. Check it

    I just don't know - for me I am very content in having a contact to Thailand for 40 minute's or a nice QSO with a lady in Indonesia for an hour, and only using 100 watts to do it on 11 meters. For 49 years now, ch 6 has never given me a thrill, oh well, as one would say - que sera sera .............

    Was at my favorite gun store

    Back in the mid 90's when I had my FFL, I bought 5000 L.R. Mag primers and some 12,000 bullets of various calibers, I was able to get them all at the wholesale price cuz of my license. But, I just gave it all away to our son this last summer, so he is pretty well set for all his pistol's and...

    Most Popular Freeband Frequencies

    In the 4-5 yrs around the peak of the cycle, anywhere from 27.420 to 27.670, I would say that 60% of the operators that I talk to around the world are ham op's. Which this is not a bad thing, for I do have some very nice qso's with them. In the last cycle I did find a few stations from...
