Perhaps, Stranger in a Strange Land. Looks like a forum that I invested a couple decades of my time into maintaining and moderating is going by the wayside. Kop knows which site, and some other members here may have also been members there. The one reason I stuck with it so long was its...

I'll start: TS-130V (modified filter setup), TS-660. Kissing cousins in appearance. FT-726R w/ HF module - 15, 12, 10M FM/SSB/CW. IC-703+. I have a few others but 95+% of my QRP work is done with these. One of my 703s can be mounted on one of my motorcycles.

Since we don't have a dedicated sub-forum for these topics, this thread can be a catch-all for questions, comments and whatnot. Mods, if it gets enough traction then please sticky it. I'll start: Hamclock is a neat little application which shows an active day/night gray line display overlaid...

Putting my new operating position together. Currently have 3 Astron 50A linear supplies, each driving 8012 Rig Runners (or with their companion transceivers wired directly to the supply terminals). Need an option for the VHF/UHF bench. There are a few brick type amplifiers (CPI HF150...

Unmodified Cobra 139XLR (858 chip), stock hand mic and Dynamike power desk mic for sale. Works as it should - 4w AM/12w PEP SSB. Equipment is in very good shape with a few minor wear marks. $110 shipped to your door. I have a few higher-res pics that I'll send to interested buyers. Reach me...

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...

Finished up a few projects which I wanted to share with the WWDX crew, as both of the radios shown in the thread came from one of the members. First off, a complete view:

Looking for a CPI TP-1 speech compressor, WM7000 wattmeter and the 12v power distribution accessory. If anyone needs the 4p Molex female plugs that are used for mode jumper/power connections on the back of the CP2000/BC2000/FC70 and similar accessories, I just got hold of a whole bagful and...

Looking for a clean, working setup. Might consider a 'for repair' unit if it's all there. PM or e-mail me with info. Thanks!

Submitted for your consideration: *Linky* There's yet another cite for over-the-roaders chit-chatting on 28.085. Folks - if you insist on operating outside the 'regular 40' - please don't do it where the mode you're using sticks out like a sore thumb. Since .085 is heavily monitored as...

*Ebay Linky* We have here ~$20.00 worth of wire, PVC and a resistor. The plans are freely available 'round the 'Web - search for 'T2FD'. For example, Arne Coro of Radio Havana Cuba's "DX Digest" has a detailed writeup of this antenna and it'll cost you a whole lot less to build his version...

IC9500 (at Universal Radio) Specs online at IcomUSA - in a nutshell, all-mode coverage from 5khz-3.35 GHz (cell-blocked in U.S., of course). Price is unknown at this time but rumors place it in the $5K range.

I recently got my hands on the station I never could afford as a new ham; one who was still in high school at the time of its introduction: A Yaesu FT901DM and accessories. Along with an FT902DM. Going to look for an FL-2100Z to use with the '902 on the HF bands, then set up the '901 and...

I've got a few from the 'boom years': Royce's 1-641, 1-642 and 1-639 AM/SSB rigs...the 1-625 AM set. Would love to get my hands on an excellent condition SBE LCBS-8, Midland 78-999 or GE Superbase. Maybe a CPI2000 with the accessory counter/tuner unit. Anyone else collect or use the older...

All of you folks with general-coverage receivers may wish to park them on 13.556 LSB and give a listen for 'Omega One Radio'. The station - which is sitting smack-dab in the middle of the Part 15 segment of the 22M ISM band - is being heard across the U.S. Format is 24/7 music with an...
