My neighbor's has have had them for a while. I do get some interference when they fire up in the morning. He has had to replace the controllers a few times, I think he's gotten to the point of having them rebuilt now to save a little. He is cleaning the panels quite often. I don't think he has...

He could be busy bailing water from all the rain they had

6 meter is open. Made my first ever contact on 6 meter last night, and it appears to be rolling this morning

Agreed, but anywhere there is a military installation, you already have it. It's not used for power applications, but it's there. It's also being transported by rail and truck in all areas, some is revealed, probably most not. But in an area like the test site at Mercury,NV, there's already a...

Easy for Bob since he's a Nuclear Physicist. But you're correct about there being alternative fuel sources, but most have been quashed by big oil. We all realize that's there's probably not much in our lives that doesn't rely on petroleum, but there are alternatives...not electric necessarily...

I don't ever answer calls from numbers I don't recognize. If it's that important,leave a message. If I see the number more than twice I block the call. I seem to get more political calls than anything else though, and I still ignore em. But yes, seniors are pretty likely a target. My mom got...

Pretty darn amazing. Like a ship in a bottle. I wonder if they're in a vacuum.

I don't think I've ever seen a 2970 with a 3 pin power connector...until now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/296169993434?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5336136228&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

I saw that review on eham...funny. I enjoyed the one I had. It's a fun radio to play with. I only sold mine as a fellow I ran into wanted one, and I have other SW radios. The guy at Golden Radios seems to think they are good, of course he repairs them too. But also I'm an older guy, and I like...

I can agree with you on the frequency police, but there are a lot of operators out there who have some bad audio. Over drivin or what ever. I've been guilty of it myself while playing with different power mic, one being hotter than another.

I kinda agree with the coax being old and older crimp fittings. I had issues with my own, not with the RF, but just the general condition of the fittings and coax. New coax and the newer weather type compression fittings and all was good. Also had the same issues with the small exposed coax on...

I don't know how many HAMS actually go by the least amount of power to make the trip, but that's what they teach. I know we're not all HAMS, but personally I try to use what ever the power of the radio I'm using has, my 148GTL, or 2950, or what ever. Then if I get a response of "I hear someone...

I had a 300 and it worked well for me. There were/are a few modifications that I did, but I don't remember what they were. It was a pretty cool old radio/receiver. I have a DX394 I like as well. Also a IC R75. I like them all. The 300 gives a retro feel that I liked.

I guess they still do have the classes https://nellisrac.org/?s=class

When I had interest in being a ham, there was a club in Las Vegas that held a class at the Air Force Base. Nellis Radio Amateur Club (https://nellisrac.org/). It was a several weeks long and went through the Tech handbook one chapter at a time and explained every aspect of the chapter being...

I had that problem in the past as well, I think I installed a resistor somehow to get it going. Been a long time since I did that, but I eventually just went back to the tried and true incandescent bulbs after having so many LED failures.

Bad day at Black Rock is one of the best...ever.

My first SSB radio, and first modded radio was a Midland 79-892. I sold it, and later bought another to replace it. I have it on the air right now.
