    New HAM with lots of questions....

    Ya, I should know better than that. I guess I just got so wrapped up in ordering stuff I was like "Ok, SWR meter, I have one of those" lol. I keep forgetting this is a totally different ballgame. Im just so used to only dealing with one type of radio that I guess it habit. I ordered a meter...

    New HAM with lots of questions....

    Ok. I took the leap and ordered some radio equipment. After speaking to a few of the local hams here in my area and talking with some reps at Gigaparts and AES, I decided to go with a dual band setup for the time being. One of the deciding factors for me was the fact that I live smack in the...

    New HAM with lots of questions....

    That was just the luck of the draw on the callsign. I was kind of hoping I'd get something cool. I like it. It has a nice ring to it, its easy to remember, and SSB being short for single sideband who could ask for more. Guess I got lucky after all.

    The F.C.C. in my area!!

    So I'm guessing by that statement that amps were found in some of the homes? No fines were imposed? Was their equipment confiscated? Only warnings were issued?

    Bad Wreck = New Install

    I recieved the 6" extension for the 102" whip last week. To be honest, I dont know how GunnyPuck can sell this item for $20. Its huge, high quality, and after installing it on my whip my SWR is 1.0 across all 40 channels. You cant beat that for 20 bucks. Im loving this whip. Much better send and...
