    6 Meters is OPEN

    I think Farmville is a game of some sort but I don't play games either so it's a guess since I seem to remember seeing someone talking about it somewhere once. Yes, many FT8 stations are Unattended once they get it going. The set it & forget it which as we all know is not legal but so many...

    Mobile 102 Inch Whip w/spring

    They brought one to Orlando Hamcation several years ago & they said they sold very few of them but some did take advantage of them. I'm putting a LIL TARHEEL HP on my pickup this coming week so at 1 lb 9 ozs I don't think I'll need one. I'm replacing the Four Hustler antennas, 6 meter 1/4 wave...

    CB, VHF, UHF, and GMRS all in one

    When the touch screens start failing it will be mostly after the radios are no longer in production & no longer covered under the warranty so even locating a replacement could be a very expensive repair if you can even locate one. They have had several issues with some of the screens on the ICOM...

    July 1st, 4th Contest

    I avoided it like I do with all Contests & Nets. I am a DX Chaser & don't play with either of those. I'm a Former Contester & Contest Winner on VHF & I burned out on it long ago.

    CB, VHF, UHF, and GMRS all in one

    I own an ICOM 7000 & if it fails I'll find another one because I have Zero desire to own any other mobile. I have owned (4) of them over the years & .it's the ONLY HF & beyond mobile I will ever use again. I had a Brand New Yaesu FT-891 & I never even put any power to it before I Sold it. I...

    Mobile Antenna SWR issues with different lengths antennas

    It's a Dying business. I did it for 13 years in the late 70's & early 80's. We had the layaway plan & we were the last friends to let you down.

    Mobile Antenna SWR issues with different lengths antennas

    9 over 13? I'd love to see a picture of what that looks like on an S Meter. I have been playing radio since 1965 & I have never heard of such a report? Sounds like something somebody just made up because they don't know how to read the S Meter or something because there is No 13 on any meters...

    VINTAGE WEBSTER BANDSPANNER 80-10 METER MOBILE ANTENNA

    I just found the long version Today in a friends shed from his estate. He became a SK in March of 2023 & a friend & I are trying to sell his gear for his wife. It's in very good condition with the heavy duty spring attached to the base of the antenna. I don't know what we will do with it but...

    I don't know what version they had but they said they did not like them so they returned them. They both said they were Over prices & a bunch of Hype but they did not say in what ways? I respect their opinions so I decided I would not buy one myself. I don't need another HT anyway since I only...

    My old truck

    I have 154,000 miles on my 2007 RAM 1500 Quad Cab with the HEMI. I just replaced had the entire rearend rebuilt & it cost me $3500 but other than a water pump & some AC work it's the only major issue since I purchased it New in 2007. The motor & transmission are both strong so I'm planning to...

    Summer has arrived!!

    I much Prefer Winter here in Florida but we have ZERO control over the weather at any time so I just accept whatever we get. The Heat Index has been well over 100 Degrees for over a week here in North Florida & it's not even getting started yet. It will get worse but we have a great AC in our...

    So far everyone I know who purchased one sent them back? Not one of them liked the radio & each one said it's just a Baofeng in hiding & JUNK. I think I'm going to PASS & save myself the money & time of returning it.

    6 Meters is OPEN

    My ICOM 7700 will do PSK & RTTY without a computer but it never will as long as I own it. I own 45 Astatic D-104 desk microphones,7 HEIL studio microphones,2 headsets,an EV RE20 & a SHURE Super 55 so it's obvious that I like microphones & they are made for talking or performing & I do both with...
