That’s the response that I got from senior forum member [name deleted by admin] when expressing my opinion about his jokes mocking deaf folks. There’s been similar posts targeting minorities and women...forum and chat. This isn’t the first time. The board is at times ripe with discrimination...

No idea where to put this, so here it is (unless moved). I like tools. A lot. Especially nicely made American ones with a heavy coat of CHROME. I don’t mind spending money. Sometimes though I buy a cheap version for one time use, and to stash away for later. Harbor Freight to the...

Years back and along with several friends I set out on a canoe trip in the NC Mountains. The “New River” for anyone familiar with it. We had everything planned out. 8 of us packed into 4 canoes, mostly rentals, and ready to set out for our 3 day trip. Everything but the kitchen sink. After...

Postman just pulled up and honked. “there’s a package I can’t deliver, you’re going to need to pick it up” Had a feeling this was coming. Found a 102” whip with free shipping (I imagine the shipping is worth more than the antenna). Whatever...my price included postage. Was supposed to be...

Any takers? I’ll add mine, But it’s kind of all over the map. Will take me a bit of typing.

Have one that I’ve never pulled the covers off. I plan to install a keying circuit as I did in my Lincoln II+. There’s a thread on that with lots of help I received (thanks again!). I never did find the 8v TX and used a work around that’s been trucking along and working great. WRT the 2950...

I’m going to answer my own question in short order, having just ordered a 2950CD, but I’m curious if anyone has made their own comparison? I have 2 of the Lincoln II+ rigs and have been rather pleased with them. I suffer some terrible bleedover, however, and am hoping the RCI might be a smidge...

Sometimes just as you've got everything figured out. I have my fan connected to a 1/8 mono jack, which is supplied ~12V from the power switch on my DX500. Works the trick and turns on / off with the main power. Perfect...almost. Hindsight is an incredible thing, and I now know not to unplug...

This question has come up frequently and I had to do a Roadking 60 today, so I thought I’d snap a couple photos. Very easy to do this. Set up for relay switching the mic terminals will be configured as below, opening and closing the red and black with operation of the PTT. The far right...

Anyone happen to know where the VFO shown below comes from? Maybe I’ve lived under a rock...never new such existed!

Below are some measurements and photos I took for Marconi. He is working on a model for this antenna. Figured I would share with all: BASE: MID SECTION: UPPER SECTION: TIP:

With my Texas missing the upper whip I've been running a 7' shipshooter...but with even with the nail removed it seems to tune to around 26.5 The only thing I can think of is trimming the ferrule at the top down. Not terribly worried about it, but I would be happier if I could get it closer...

Ok, if anyone gets bored. I've been planning on doing this for a few weeks and finally got around to it. Plenty of room for criticism with the test...it just is what it is. TX is President Lincoln II+, RX is Washington and recorded with iphone. I did cut the volume after the first test, so...

What do you all make of it? Doing anything to prepare? Any good conspiracy theories?

Very OT...but something plaguing me. Has anyone had to deal with a loved one hooked on drugs? It’s been a while now, and things have come to a head. I have little faith in the resources available. Don’t know what to do.

Ok, got around to testing the modified D104M6 vs the factory stock one. Must say...differences are way more subtle than I expected. Not exactly high speed testing here, just recorded with an iPhone. Transmitter is my Lincoln Ii+, and receiver is a Washington. The modified mic has a 1.5M...

I mentioned in the 575 thread that I went on a bit of a mic buying spree. I’m already pretty happy with what I’ve been running but still wanted to play. Among the mics I bought...a RD104E. From eBay, but in factory packaging. Looks brand new? Anyway, taking it apart I noticed right away it...

Title says it all...

Jay-z and Beyonce should have STAYED HOME if they can’t put their fully functional legs to use!

Does anyone know if these still exist?? If so...a source? Thanks!
