I started out on 11m in the early 60s, so I have a ton of old 23-channel tube AM & SSB base radios and walkie talkies from the 60 ~ 70s - including a lot of SONY 11m radios from many different countries. They'll probably all end up in an estate sale and eventually on ebay after I croak, so keep...

I've collected a lot of rare 11m radios over the years, including my favorites: a CPI CP-400, a CP-2000 and a General SB-72 (23-ch tube SSB radio). I restored some of them to operational condition, and just cleaned some of the other ones up for display only. I especially like tinkering with...

Looks like you used 22AWG for the windings? 18AWG should be fine for 100w, eh? Quit goofing off and get to work on my HR-50 - ;)

I still have two Amazers up in the rafters in my garage. I had two of them mounted in a co-linear array, 3" apart on an aluminum plate atop a heavy duty spring and used nylon spacers to keep the antennas exactly 3" apart from top to bottom. Worked very well on the '89 Toyota pick up I had at the...

Eileen was getting hard to start so I check the water level and put the charger on the battery. I wire-brushed all the terminals and reconnected, but she still didn't want to start easily. I bought a new Interstate battery and the same thing :( It looks like the starter is shot. I don't think...

Henry, sitting on his ass - and there's a cracking block wall behind him? Shoulda had him re-grout it while he was there - lol

So, Tim, when are you gonna install mine - lol

OK, so I asked this: "I just purchased a snorkel-type conversion kit for my Coleman generator (with a HM100 Tecumseh 10HP motor) from you folks. I would like to power the generator with portable propane tanks as well as from natural gas at my home. This NPSK-12 kit appears to be for connection...

For those of you who have a gasoline-powered generator and have thought about adding the capability of propane and/or natural gas (while retaining the capability to run regular pump gasoline as well), US Carburetion has released an improved conversion kit for almost any generator motor on the...

It's been a few years since I've sailed to the island … I'm in.

I just ran across a video on Youtube referencing HAM Radio in some of the Last Man Standing episodes. Notice FLG performing some of his well known janitorial duties in the screen-shot below. You can see him here again in the following clip, starting at 3:15

Thanks for the place-holder, Marc. YES, I would like to reserve a spot for 'Eileen' and me :eek:

Bring popcorn and your favorite beverage, it's an hour long ...

Another good video, boys and girls

Why? ... Why not ??? Post the best cartoon(s) that you've come across, we can all use a good laugh in these days of being feed BS Here we go

I never questioned it when I was growing up. Feeling like a proud American, who was I to doubt what NASA could do ... or not do? I even visited the Kennedy Space Center when I was in high school and was thrilled to see all the neat shit 'we' [Americans] had to reach up into outer space. I do...

Handing out another Darwin award ...

Ask your teacher if the same holds true if the battery is sitting on the 2nd or 3rd floor (or the 66th floor for that matter). We were always told not to sit a battery on a concrete floor ... to put a wooden block underneath it, so the cold didn't penetrate it.

What is the intended purpose - mobile or fixed base? If fixed base, have you thought about building a simple UHF Yagi and mounting it about 3' below your Quagi (sp)?
