    Oh my, its bad out there today!

    I was listening on 38 lower for awhile this afternoon, had some guy telling off somebody from canada - talking about how canadians aren't allowed to have any firearms (which is total BS) ... Listened for just a couple minutes and moved along to another frequency. Was more entertaining listening...

    Finally a Tower!

    That's my thought. How do you keep it from getting stolen or 'scrapped' by somebody? LoL seems logistically easier to get it moved

    Shipping costs are out of hand!

    I'm pretty lucky as well, direct customer contracts. Thankfully they really like the service I provide and are letting me grow and expand. Most brokers are the scourge of the earth. There are a few good ones but not many!

    Finally a Tower!

    That's all that matters some days. Gotta pick and choose the battles. Sometimes the victory just isn't worth the battle or the cost. Thankfully it's just me and two pets these days so nobody to complain! Just seems a bit .... tacky to put it up in front of the house haha

    Finally a Tower!

    I bought this property in 2010, had the tower for a couple years prior to that and it's still just stacked up. gets moved a couple times a year and re-stacked. Managed to hit one of the ends with the Zero Turn and bend it pretty good, so I might have to buy some new (not such a terrible thing as...

    Work truck ssb setup

    Normally I'm a hey it's only temporary unless it works kinda person but .... you really need to get that secured down so it doesn't whack you in the skull at the worst possible time. Those sharp corners are gonna hurt. A Lot. Nice setup tho! Loving the 140GTL!!!

    Shipping costs are out of hand!

    bit late to this but ... I'm in the transport business - own trucks. Costs have been through the roof since early 2022. Fuel went to over 5.00 a gallon, Repair parts went up something like 40% last June from just Caterpillar, Tires are nearly double the cost from 2 years ago, new truck prices...

    CDX Club

    I remember the old days too. Miss them days in a lot of ways ... thought about some of the old guys who are no longer around too, like Dean ... Contest sounds fun, moved a couple years ago, don't yet have a tower up (who wants to come dig the hole?) Still got all the equipment though ...

    Galaxy Repair

    Its not reading correctly, my guess is the C610 Capacitor needs replacing. My Galaxy book suggests replacing it when you replace D603 zener diode ... While I'm in there Ill repalce em both - Send it up to dtb to go thru later on, one radio at a time

    Galaxy Repair

    Ill get ahold of him and see about sending my Galaxy in ... While I could replace the defective part easily - I would still like the radio to be gone thru and given a heath check. Ill have to see who I know is going up to PA that I can get to drop it off.. A few months ago I would have been...
