    Ham Radio Testing - How will it be handled?

    Thats up to each individual VEC (there are 13 of them). I know (for a fact) that LAUREL VEC will NOT do remote testing, other VECs are kinda debating it, but I don't think it is going to happen except for the ALASKAN VEC that was doing it on a very limited basis. The problem is that each VE...

    Grocery store shortages

    Take a quarter with you, you have to put 25 cents in the slot to release the lock on the cart. When you are done shopping and have put your stuff in your car, return the cart to the place where you got it and you get your quarter back, I guess that saves them $ by not having to pay an employee...

    that 10 meter feller

    So I was just listening to a web SDR (NY4Q in GA) and was on the 2 meter antenna. They started a local net on 146.670, usual net type stuff, taking checkins and making a list. I heard a voice checking in and I recognized it instantly................ kc4tvz The subject of the evening was "what...

    Swr

    if your SWR changes with increased power levels, you have other issues, most likely CMC or a radio that has been golden screwdrivered.

    Bearing in mind the age difference and repair parts availability ......... all other things being equal. the 1000MP is by far a superior radio. The rx on the 7300 is wide as a "barn door" and easily overloaded

    the standard "as high as possible" applies,............. 1/2 wl or higher if possible. depends on what you want to hear and what band,.... you may want to mount the loop even lower than the 30 feet,............. the signal strength will fall, but so will the noise, its all about SNR. Welcome...
