    Does anyone know what the initials

    I made the annual trek to Dayton

    The wife and I left last Wed. for Dayton and the drive from ST Paul to there is in the neighborhood of 750 miles. We usually drive relatively hard the first day and get to Danville, IL and then drive the 250 miles to Dayton the following day. While driving down we ran into a lot of heavy rain...

    Just added a RTL2832U dongle to the FT-950

    and I now have as good and possibly better SDR setup than adding the IF-2000 board and LP-PAN IF Pan Adapter and it is darn sure a great deal cheaper. Total time to install and have it operational is about 20 minutes with the longest time being the removal of all the screws from the bottom of...

    Looking for a RM Italy HLA-150 amp

    Anyone know where a person can still get an RM Italy HLA-150 amp? I have thought of getting one to use with my KX3 rather than the close to 1000.00 that Elecraft is asking for their new 100 watt unit.

    Anyone know anything about the amps selling

    on Ebay for an Israeli whose call I think is 4Z4RB? I know they are not type accepted but that is no big deal if the design is good and the thing does not have signal flying off on every frequency but the one it is intended for. I know very little about transistor amps so I thought I would...

    Anyone using the KX3 with HDSDR

    I ended up trading for a KX3 and have had some great contacts with using just 5 watts. My question is anyone using HDSDR with their KX3? If so did you have issues of seeing a double signal image on the display? I have switched out the cable thinking noise might be playing a part in it...

    Two new - old radios

    I cleaned out a bunch excess junk and sold it so I could make a purchase from a local ham that had two items I was wanting. The first radio is a common Heathkit Apache but the receiver is a not so common item. It is a National NC 2-40D made in 1947 and it works perfectly. You will notice...

    I just don't get it

    I was watching a Hustler 5 BTV auction on Ebay and thing that really got my attention is the person was wanting $42.97 to ship the antenna which in mind is a huge amount of money for that antenna. To make a long story short the antenna sold for $142.50 now add the shipping cost and if my math...

    Add this amp to your collection

    When I first saw this amp for sale of on the sale site I thought some over powered Ham had lost his mind building an amp that used two Eimac 3CX3000A7 tubes. But Then I looked closer and saw that there is a CB radio next to it. Nice piece of work but would hate to buy it have it taken away by...

    Looking for ideas for an inexpensive mobile Ant.

    Has anyone used a ham stick antenna for a mobile antenna? I swapped some stuff for mint IC-7000 and I would like to run it for a short time on 20 meters for the County Hunters. Since I will primarily be operating on a single band the expense of a screw driver antenna is to much. If that plan...

Spend about 1-1/2 days going through the flea market and then about another 1/2 day on the inside stuff and the forums we attended.

    Another Linear + Space Heater on Ebay

    This bad boy should keep you warm on these cold winter nights since it uses 10 GE Electronic FL 188-5. The ad states that is basically the same configuration as the Golden Falcon. I have never used or for that matter ever seen a Golden Falcon, in my CB day I used only D&A amplifiers and back...
