Yep, me too when i was i kid. My brother owned harnes racing horses. He told me not to get behind them. I didnt listen. I felt instead.

My sentiment exactly. Tornados seem to pick and choose what and where they consume. We have been getting more of them recently up here in Northeast PA. I was able to view the aftermath track of a twister from a bridge over the Deleware river. It was unsettling to see how it took two houses...

At the time, i was thinking about 11 meter being crowded. But on second thought, it only seems crowded when the skip is in. Lots of people running big power also. But most times its quiet. Not many locals at all. Thanks for calling me out. I rescind my original statement .

Its official . My first HF rig is a FTDX-1200. Leaves some funds for all the other things involved with ones first station. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all 5 pages of food for thought. Still have lots of questions though. I have a 33 amp megawatt p/s. Can i power this rig with it...

Thanks guys

Lol

No, Im Batman!

Yep, 389 tripower in my 68 goat

Sure, great days. I had a thing for the Pontiac GP. Monte Carlos were nice too

My 68 goat was a 389 tri power. Had the vertigate shifter. Also no hideaways. Now, im not positive that was original motor or not.

People think i am actually an "Old Goat". But Old Goat really refers to an old 1968 GTO that i used to have.

If i go with the 7300, i will buy it new. The 3000 would probably be used.

I think w9 through the ic718 into the ring because i am so new and can cut my teeth on hf without spending a lot of money. Although i am a pretty quick learner and will probably be looking to upgrade after i figure out the "knobs". I appreciate his input and looked seriously at the 718. I...

Im with you 357. Decisions, decisions . Ive been looking at the 718 since w9 recommended it. If i didnt have so much to buy to get a hf shack started it wouldnt matter about the radio within reason. Right now i have a spt 500, an a99, 40' tower that has to go up, and a 100 ' of lmr 400 thats...

That That was a question i thinking about. The antenna tuner is external on the 718. I would need buy one. Dont the yaesu 1200, 3000 and ic7300 have internal antenna tuners? Im sure im showing my ignorance on the subject

Oh boy, i figured 130' of wire had to be good for something.

Hey capo. My location isnt too bad. Maybe 1450 in elevation. About 10 miles west is a mountain chain thats maybe 1500 ft in elevation. That mountain chain runs for many many miles north and south. I talk to a few people in those mountains on 38lsb.

Thank you w9cll. Thats exactly what i was thinking when i was looking at the used 1200 for $650. I had mentioned before im newly licensed and dont know squat. But i do know the antenna and coax make the radio not the other way around. I have to take a look at the 718. Thank you.

I have a 40 foot tower ready to go up. I cleaned, inspected and painted it over the winter. Also have plenty of room to run a wire. I was looking at the My Antenna 80/10. On the tower i was thinking about a yagi with my a99 on top for 11 meter.

Intetesting read. Seems the 7300 and the 3000 are close in performance but different animals. I like the heafty base like looks of the 3000 but like the bling on the 7300.
