Reminder on WFD. Google WFD to goto Site for all the rules & particulars. Relatively closely mirrors ARRL June Field Day

I have an old but good Craftsman walk-behind with a 3hp Tecumseh engine. Had since new, always well maintained. Always full and clean oil. Still cranks right up and runs good as new. Burns no oil - no smoke ever. Issue recently is, when running it pushes a small amount of oil out of the...

So my neighbor had a massive lighting hit and suffered a shit ton of damage about a month ago. He has a big place and is wealthy so he located a lightning protection specialty company that is re-doing his whole estate in a first class way. So with this work going on now, they are leaving on...

Heard some locals talking about it. They got interested as the firmware can be hacked with software/computer and it can be expanded to RX & TX down to like 26.000 or something close and somewhere through 700mhz. AM Transmit capable via hack as it has circuitry for AM Air band. One of the local...

I have a 2005 Colorado Standard Cab little truck. When I got it 3 years ago it was excellent condition and only 35K original miles - from an inheritance. So the AC blows only cool but not cold .... since I got it. I'm thinking of the likelihood that because it only has to cool the little cab -...

My fault - Left station hooked up on a day it wasn't even supposed to rain. This one cloud comes by with some lightning in it and I must have taken a little finger strike to the antenna. Antenna, power supply and mobile radio - all no damage .... but the 703 was affected. I am just tired of...

One single cloud came by but did have some lightning in it. Was busy cooking dinner and let it ride. Took a hit. There was a brief burning smell. Was not turned on. Power supply and radio fine. It comes on but has low output. Will only key 20 and swing 100. Nothing looks burned. The 4 internal...

Hi guys, Deciding to part with my Full Legal Limit Heathkit SA 2060 Antenna Tuner. 1.5KW P.E.P. SSB & CW. This is a real battleship and they don't make 'em like they used to. "Tunes anything to anywhere". Rated 160~10 but has some extra Value-Space on the components and I've had these tune Big...

Reviewing this here as we radio folk may wish to have the ability to read DC Amps being pulled by rigs and things like 12V amplifiers. Direct Reading DC Clamp Meters aren't new but are a more modern type with these stand-alone units being AC only in the past. I saw this one being used by a radio...

Here is a Black UV5R + (plus). Everything works 100% as should. Older model has Full Coverage no skips on GMRS. Although the manual says it stops at 480mhz it goes to and transmits up to 520mhz as shown in the pic. TX & RX 136~174 & 400~520. Comes with everything you get in the box. Ear Bud/Mic...

Mosfet Box. KL 703. Question may apply to all boxes. In AM, relay stays locks in with carrier. Using SSB Switch locks the relay in for SSB use. So is there any harm in just leaving the switch in the SSB position for AM operation as well?

Here's a Tech Special. About 1 year old previously lightly used 500V with gold label HG 2879's. I got it from a friend who got it new and rarely used. Worked great, seeing 525 out with 1 watt dead key on 14.4 volts. Has had Heavy Wire Internal mod performed. I blew it up by accidentally running...

Have a new Factory RCI Hand Mic that came with a 2970 N3 that I'm not using. Will work on any RCI 6 Pin Radio. Really don't have any idea what to ask for it. Didn't see a single one on eBay just now. Make Offer. Shipping with Tracking Number. PayPal Fine

With Cycle 25 in full blast on the higher bands, some of you may be looking for a SSB DX Club to join. This is a good one - World Wide Sideband Group, WWS, Whiskey Whiskey Sugar. Have a Club freq. on 27.370 LSB. Dates back to the 1990's. Tons of guys worldwide. Have a 6.6K Member Facebook Page...

Mildly amusing to consider how some manufacturers want to stretch the math regarding Wavelength Claims on particular-length antennas. I know of two at least that come in at 19 feet long and they are wanting to call them 5/8 types but they would seem to be closer to 1/2 wave. I realize that 5/8...

First we had Channel 6. Then we were blessed with 28. Now, not to be left out, our Hispanic compadres have turned Ch 9 into the Taco Bowl. God Bless Cycle 25 :unsure:

One of the cheap ones like a Galaxy 225 would do. Texas Star 250. Will consider any. Needs to be working as should.

If I get a new un-opened RCI 2970N3 from a store, is it going to have the E Chip in the box?

I have a 2 week old Megawatt S-700-12. Used briefly, then replaced with a 100A supply. This one is adjusting to 14.56 as shown. In factory box. They are $145 on eBay. I'll save you $25 and send for $120 Shipped Priority Mail. Paypal fine.

I'm not having an issue, but remembering many stories about the factory Pot on 667 & 500V's going bad and was due to the pots not being heavy duty enough or something. Googled for an article but didn't see anything. Anybody here remember the issue and What Value Replacement pot is better that...
