Welcome to the Vermont culture!:lol::lol::lol::lol:

1. There would likely be no appreciable benefit to getting the Tornado over what I have now. DB gain-S Units 2. I can build a moxon for around $15.00. A Yagi is exponentially more. Plus, the moxon will have better F/B which is one of the things I'm looking for. There is a reason for what I'm...

I would also like to hear everyone's input on the Icom's and Kenwoods. They seem to get good reviews but would like to hear from some folks here that have/do actually use one or all of these.

:crying:

WHAT THE ........ You just had to throw that in there didn't ya!<can not stand it><can not stand it><can not stand it>

Ha! More new toys? Man you're on a roll! Bowled on the Wii with my daughter this afternoon. She got a 124. She's 14 w/Downs Syndrome. She kicked butt. She's my best bud and a total clown. Love hangin' with that kid. Plowed out the iceberg covered driveway. Almost destroyed my atv with the thawed...

it's not just you. dead silent here although all my stuff is coated in ice.

w9cll, that's what the wife is for.:lol: At least you're doing something productive. Once Bitten, I can't even imagine what 75 would feel like! I hope it comes slow as my blood is thick and acclimated to months of this #%*!! The silence is deafening on 38. I just flipped the radio on and...

So, what does everyone do on a day like today when everything is encased in ice and there's no DX. Dead, zero, zitch, nada, bupkiss....... Here's what I'm doing: *Made a new patch cable to interface the meter. (Other was that RS crap that I never trusted) *Dreaming and plotting future...

Not in the least!: :blink:

357 you FREAK! Have you ever been on a metal roof with snow or water on it? You trying to get me killed?:eek: Great idea 305! Although, you'd be the only one I hear! Always blowin' my doors in with that "hand wavin'" thingy!

I really can't make a recommendation to you regarding the 980 because I haven't had anything else. All I can tell you is that I can turn it on and go. No waiting. It seems to be on freq' as I haven't had anyone tell me otherwise and there's no problem dx'ing as you know. A contact suggested that...

Have any of you got "The Purple Pancake"? Louisiana or Alabama I think??? Got him last weekend. Another old timer it sounded like and a real character,. Not as whacky as "the old man in the rocking chair" though. I haven't heard him again. ND88, you should be able to get him. He was boomin in up...

DX is weird as I have found out sometimes. Being too close may not explain it completely. I hear guys from NY all the time. Closer than RI but never even hear RI. Talk to Italy and yet can't get NY even hearing them. Angle of the bounce does have to do with it but I tend to think it's more to do...

Emerald 55 just outside of Dublin Ireland is a big one. On there everyday. I am creating a spreadsheet for a 3 ring binder I will be using as a log book if anyone is interested. Using tabs and subtabs for countries etc. Will have a place for notes, date,call #'s and specific locations and such...

"The old man in the rocking chair". Yea! I was listening to him. He was rippin' in here like gangbusters. Sounded like a character. Reminded me of 357! Bwahahaha

Moxon's on hold. Have to build it inside and will be moving the furniture in the Living room to do it. Wife is gonna love me! I love tormenting that broad! Bored to death here and so sick of winter. Sure is pretty and so peaceful. Quiet. No sound with snow coming down but could def' live...

I hear ya on the Yagi. Just seems too complicated for myself w/ limited knowledge and equipment. They truly are sweet! If you get the Tornado, keep us updated and post some pics during/after install. I really believe that thing would kick some bag mounted right smack in the middle of my 40x28...

Me too! :bdh:

Way to go man! I sure can identify with that feeling. Almost all of my contacts have come with a direct address to them. CQ'ing rarely works for me. I think you're on the right track! Cheers and beers!
