Robb knows which one I would choose. :wink:

We'll be there. I'm looking for a Yaesu FT-980; if anyone reading this has one they want to sell please PM me. Moleculo/Happy_Hamer: I assume the numbers I have for you two are still valid. If not and either or both of you are attending, PM me with current ones then pick a place near the...

Hopefully it'll be waterproof.

There was a girl/woman/pretender in this area who X-ratedly teased the US224 truckers for years...and I mean years...until me and the crew decided to locate her over the Christmas holidays in '91. Conniving little wench had a Ringo mounted on top of the home's electrical feed and the radiator...

At one time, there was a fair amount of TV activity - both fast and slow-scan - in the Akron/NEOH region. We also organized 10/6/2M RTTY and keyboard-keyboard packet nets. Trick is getting everyone to play, and getting the required gear into their hands. It's a lot easier with soundcard-based...

PT8000 + divorce; Keep wife, suffer lousy RF experience. You folks are making this very difficult...

Get your antenna as high in the air as you can and work further still. In doing so you'll lower its angle of radiation - and lengthen that "first hop" distance.

The FT-101/B/E/F and the ZD series are two entirely different designs. A 'ZD is more like an FT-90x than anything else.

Would anyone provide me with a link to a discussion of what constitutes "poor" operating practice - aside from the equipment in question being operated in a technically deficient manner? You can't. And until the FCC issues a finding on the matter, the issue of EOT tones and/or echo is...

If the person in question is in fact an OO, I would like to see the ARRL's position on his evidently profound lack of technical qualifications. In fact, I may bring this up elsewhere with a couple of the divisional staff members.

So if it's not expressly prohibited, the OOANs citing such on-air behavior and which were supposedly sent out by the gentleman in question are in fact based on an "arbitrary" point of view...do I have this much correct?

Re: Echo and roger beeps in the amateur bands: Though I don't agree with their usage, can anyone post the section of 47 CFR 97 that specifically prohibits a licensed amateur from utilizing such? And I'm not interested in Todd's or anyone else's "subjective" opinion...just the facts. In...

Really want to baffle the easily confused? Put up a 15-10M log periodic. Use it on either service with equal facility.

The directional antenna rule shouldn't even make it into the proposal, and the 155.3-mile limit should be eliminated altogether. There's not enough usage to justify an expansion of frequencies and as far as the rest of the Class D service is concerned, it's fine as-is. No need to impose...

If I ever encounter Todd on the air I'll need to restrain myself from asking him if he's Filipino... ...as he certainly puts the "DU" in dumbass.

Please let this station in a box offer 222 and 902 - possibly 1.2GHz - modules in addition to 6/2/432.

Another gem from the same seller: TRAM D300 AM/SSB /D104 MIC/SUPER CLEAN ALL ORIGINAL/1ST CLASS PERFORMER | eBay All one has to do is to throw a few "whilsts" and "One owner from new!s" into that ad copy and it would read exactly like Radio-Mart's stuff did.

I wonder how many people have done so...and what good (if any) came of it. Ebay's "buyer is always right" policy - by virtue of its construction - is absolutely ripe for abuse. But as long as they keep getting their cut...

I really like MMSSTV. Have a couple others installed on the (now-crashed :headbang ) rig-control PC (which I have to rebuild this week).

Here's a pic of another lately completed project. It's my workshop/reloading-room station. In the late 70s, Swan introduced the "Astro" series of transceivers - a twin-PTO-tuned, 6-band fixed-station unit (the 102BX) and a fully synthesized, 5-band mobile/fixed SSB/CW transceiver. The latter...
