    Thinking about a mobile amp again...

    I am tempted by those, they are just getting a little old and parts aren't getting easier to find. The thought has even crossed my mind to just install my TS-120S in the mobile.

    Thinking about a mobile amp again...

    I'm considering playing radio in the mobile again, but I don't enjoy that without 100+ watts. I'm completely done with exports and other junk like texas star. It seems like these HG's are doing ok now, but I really haven't kept up on the subject. I have also never operated an amp from a...

    Generic timer switch?

    Thanks once again nomad. It's almost too simple, but I'm glad I finally understand a circuit you posted

    Generic timer switch?

    The relay isn't a huge problem, it's the timer to shut it off that is my problem.

    Generic timer switch?

    I'll have to look into the capabilities of that. Thanks

    Generic timer switch?

    I usually want to control a relay or solenoid for 120v. Just random projects that aren't radio related. Seems like there would be some sort of premade controller for a function so basic.

    Generic timer switch?

    Does anyone know where to find a timer switch that upon activation from a momentary on will supply switched power for a predetermined time, then switch itself off?

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    I doubt it would be well received, but the lyrics written by a man who has been through hell and back are refreshing to me. If you can't relate on some level, you have yet to realize the monster you truly are.

    Stryker Sr 955hpc high swr on ssb?

    Bells has a decent reputation so I would be surprised if it was hacked, but it is possible. I would also think Stryker would have been able to fix it if the problem was a modification, but strykers service center failed to fix it.

    Is pasta as important as toilet paper now?

    Pasta is a little hard to find around here. Since having covid 8 months ago, all my wife can eat is pasta tossed with a little butter and Italian seasoning, and pop tarts. The butter has only been doable for the last two months. She says everything else tastes so horrible she can't choke it...

    Wild & Crazy Idea

    That is very brave of you to block the fan, but I think there might be so much that you will hit the fan too.

    Reflections II index?

    Does anyone have the index for Reflections II? The book says it can be downloaded, but the website listed is no good. I know I can search a pdf of the book, but sometimes I just dont want to sit in front of a pc.

    2000GTL radios for sale on ebay

    As if $300-400 wasn't already an insane price? Why not pay more if it makes you feel good? You are paying mostly for nostalgia, and you really can't put a price on that.

    CQ Worldwide DX Contest, SSB 2021 This Weekend

    I know it is pure madness on 20m. Normal hams are probably on 11m to avoid the chaos. Edit: Normal was not a good choice, "casual hams" is more what I meant

    Is resonance really where you get best antenna performance?

    It seems to me that a 1:1 feedline swr is nearly always a bad thing unless matched. Can't you can match anything to 50 ohms? I'm assuming "flat swr" is referring to 1:1, but I'm really not certain what it means. I guess I don't know exactly what "perfect resonance" means either.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    There is a desert in Canada. I'm not sure why I know that though.
