From Tom Rauch on his FB group.

That was a common failure, I have seen 2 other early 2970 radios that did this. That amp on the bottom just continually heat cycled the radio creating broken solder joints. I don't like radios with PA's strapped on the bottom, never have. 73 Jeff

As the window closes.... This year has seen some warm temperatures and as a result the snow melt flow over the falls is epic. Another shot from last week 73 Jeff

Have they addressed your lost tube? If I read correctly they are going to continue to build and sell new tubes, just no more rebuilding. Seems like soon the only choice is going to be solid state. Thanks for sharing 73 Jeff

This was sent to me by a friend There seems to be a group that is on 27.700 USB doing Slow Scan TV , these images are from 2/27/26 73 Jeff

It takes a lot. One really has to be a total asshat to garner serious attention from them. There's not enough money in CB enforcement to make it worth the time, so if they are looking for you, you seriously screwed up. Look at guys like John , motor mouth maul he's not hiding. Just about the...

Holy crap Last time I bought these they were about $6 Now $15 on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-PL-259-Female-SO-239-Connector/dp/B0FZ62Z86R $45 bucks is ridiculous for 3 adapters...... You are probably better off going the coax adapter at that cost...
