    Finally on HF!

    Upgraded to General about 3 weeks ago and finally got around to stringing up a couple inverted V's for 40 and 75/80. With the tuner I can also work 20m. First contact last night on 40 was an operator in NH. The PS for my 718 is a little weak so I was only hitting about 70w PEP. Still managed...

    Bassmaster out of south Florida

    Has anyone ever heard this station? I've heard it before but it's been a while. On Wednesday I was playing around with a Pearce-Simpson Bengal that has recently come into my possession and tuning around the dial I landed on channel 11. Those of you that have heard him know of what I speak...

    Another chapter in Ebay insanity

    Seriously? If it sells at this price I want to meet the fool who bought it. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5336136228&icep_item=201335926464

    amplifier combiners

    Here's something I've never seen before- Thought I knew everything about D&A but didn't know about these! http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5336136228&icep_item=161659842073

    Licensing glitch

    Greetings All: I've been keeping this under my hat and was waiting for official notification and issuance of a call sign before making the announcement, but circumstances have forced me to appeal to the group at large for some help. Here's the problem: On Dec. 2 of 2014 I took and passed the...

    Info needed on Mars MRC M 458

    One of these just drifted into a friends shop. A 40- Channel SSB portable. I've never seen one. Information on it is minimal. Anyone know anything about it? I could really use a schematic.

    It was so quiet for a while and now...

    ... WTF it's off the charts. All day and night I'm getting 9+DB of mostly noise. Crank the RF gain up full and I"m STILL hearing the mouth of the south #45 blasting through. You know it's bad when you need 400 watts to talk to the truck in front of you!

    Superstar SS 148 EGK

    Just picked up this little gem in a recovered semi. It's basically a Malaysian 148 (5 pin) with an echo and a connector for an external frequency counter. Interior says RANGER all over it. Once I got it all cleaned up (tobacco juice in the mic - ICK!) it seemed to work fairly well except that...

    For anyone with a VFO

    Those of us who have VFO-equipped radios are all too familiar with the problem of drifting. On AM it's not much of an issue but it makes SSB operation more of a chore as you and the receiving station chase each other around trying to stay in tune. This was a problem on my D201A. No matter...

    At Last

    I first saw her in a magazine around 1975 or so. A full-color center foldout. What a beauty she was! Those big dual knobs on the front just begging to be tweaked. Rumors of her capabilities ran to the extreme. Some said she would go further than any of the others. As I drooled over her...

    Another insane ebay seller

    Okay I know the mods are sick of these posts but you just gotta check this one out: Cobra Electronics HH 38 WX ST 40-Channels Handheld CB Radio. GSHOPE 028377902598 | eBay Scroll down and read the story about why he wants $1,000.00 for a used radio that sold for $98 new. Zero feedback on...

    President George receive issue

    Recently I picked up a President George after a long search. I've always liked this radio for it's receiver which IMO is on par with many HF ham rigs. I've owned other Georges and all of them have had excellent receivers. Extremely quiet, yet sensitive. I expected no less when I bought my...

    And the Imax came tumbling down...

    ...Yes indeedy it did. Took close to a 70 MPH wind but the damn thing broke where the middle section screws into the base (the stud broke off) and the top part splintered as well. So it's time for a new antenna. I liked the Imax and am inclined to buy another. But before doing that I...

    Kicker K-500

    My faithful K-500 started acting all screwy last night. It will key up normally and then the output drops to near zero. Let it rest for a bit and it comes right back to normal, then drops off again. For a few days prior to this condition I noticed that output was actually up a bit until full...

    Freq. Counter Installation

    Recently I obtained an old Wawasee meter and digital clock. About half of the numbers in the clock portion are burnt out so I was wondering how difficult it would be to retrofit a small frequency counter such as a Connex FC390 into the space currently occupied by the clock. It would require...
