It makes as much sense as saying, This is W4KVW for id purposes. For what other reason would you give your call sign other than for id purposes? LOL {:>)

Little TARHEEL HP, Diamond 7500SG, and 5/8 wave GMRS

W4KVW ham shack September 2023

I know I read it as well & I thought it was in the manual to the RS-70M but I have no idea where that manual is since I no longer have that supply. I know I did not dream it.

I no longer own any radios that transmit on that band just Amateur Bands & GMRS for me. All I have for HF at the moment is my Antron 99 at 30' & I use it for 10-17 meters & it's OK but not great on any band. Hopefully the New tower & beams will be up in a month or so. Hopefully it handles a...

It's the Devil thinking he can make me angry. I know I'm on the Winning Team so it's not possible so he's wasting his time here & that's great because somebody else is catching a break while he's wasting time with me. LOL It's all OK here & we will be back better than ever really soon. Thanks...

I have had some Major changes due to a Lightning Strike & Hurricane here at our home. I went from having an ICOM 7700 & the ICOM PW-1,& an ICOM 9100 & the ICOM 2730a. I replaced the ICOM 7700 with a New ICOM 7610,& the PW-1 with another PW-1,& the 9100 with another 9100.The 2730a was not...

ICOM America is the only source that I'm aware of for that information. I owned one for several years & I sold it to a local friend who still uses it today. Have you checked their website for the information? If you can't locate it I'd send them an email & I'm sure they can take care of it for you.

All of the stuff inside & outside of our home was tied to the common ground of our home yet it blew a lot of stuff up? Most all of it was nowhere near my tower & plugged into the main panel box in our home which is grounded to the main ground rod that was installed when they built our home over...

I never understood if Lightning is looking for a Ground then why am I providing it's Target? WE had a Lightning strike here at our home 7 weeks ago & looking at the blown fuses it appears the strike came in through the Ground of our home. Not a single fuse on any piece of gear that I lost had a...

As high as 1500 watts depending upon your license class.Of course there are many on the 11 meter band that run far more than that.

I stand corrected. It appears my ICOM 7700 may not get repaired so I will have a NEW ICOM 7610 Tomorrow to go with the New 9100 I purchased last week.Parts are not an easy find for the 7700.My New to my ICOM PW-1 will also be here Tomorrow.I will have the radios and amplifier but I’m not sure...

10 & 11 meters are quite different bands.11 meters is open far more than 10 meters and as usual the FCC Gave Away the better band for sure.Listen to 11 meters when the signals are marginal and go to 10 meters and try and hear anything including a beacon and more times than not you will hear nothing.

10 meters has been Fair here in Northeast Florida Today and it was Amazing yesterday. 6 meters was also open a couple of times to the West.

Well my ICOM 7700,ICOM 9100,& ICOM PW-1 and lots more were taken out by a random lightning strike 5 weeks ago Today and I have found that parts for the 7700 are not an easy find.I have a technician who is rebuilding each component and having some success but he even says he would not be...

I just found the information in the owners manual online.I Rarely ever use FM Repeaters on HF but I do sometimes.

I own many different HEIL microphones including the iCM,FIN,PR-20,Goldline PRO, PR-781&” & PR-22.I find that the FIN & PR-20 which use the same element sound the best on an ICOM 7600,756 PRO II, & 7700.The iCM sounds better on the 746 and 703+ and these were all tested on the air in my shack.I...
