Passed the Extra Ticket last night. Brother in law passed General. Ham study is great. Especially if used along with the book for reference .

I brought in my 980 and rm 203p in from the pickup and hooked up to a new Megawatt p/s. Have it running into an a99 for a temporary base. The amp works on am and ssb both regardless of which mode is selected. From my trusty MFJ 872 swr/watt meter, looks like 50 dead key on am and swinging 90...

Very wise words. I missed the last peak. Was working 12 hour shifts with a 90 mile drive each way. Different priorities then.

I have to agree. I like being able to hear local signals out to 30 miles or so. Even just to test out my rigs, base to mobil or mobil to mobil. Not to say it isnt fun making the trip from PA to Okc.

Picked up a few ops out of Georgia here in NE, PA tonight around 8:30 pm. GEORGIA 1 smoking everyone.

Thats a good idea. But if its solar generated there may be many more than one CME. Best to wait a while before bringing out the equipment. And only if the generator fires up. Oh boy. What a mess. Hope we never see anything near it.

I just read some on the subject. He supposedly did the calculations and provided the generators. No argument here. He was dead at the time of the actual experiment. Though, i think he realized it was to dangerous and left the experiment. What a great man he was. A reporter once asked Einstein...

Was Tesla involved with that?

I worked wirh a guy whos brother worked at Grooms Lake. His brother said whatever you can imagine about our capabilities, we are a 100 years past it.

Its a big, big big, deal hardening the grid. Glad Trump is at least addressing it. Lets see what gets done. There are a couple of scary books. One Second After by William Forstchen. Takes place in Black Mountain , North Carolina. Doomsday type of novel.

They have a few weeks, month tops in diesel to run generators. One of the biggest coverups in the world was and still is Fukashima.

If that happened today the numbers are something like 90% fatalities in the first year. Worst case. Imagine, no electricity. Cars might not work, if they do, no gas is pumping. How long can nuclear reactors keep cooling fuel rods from melting . Oh boy. TEOTWAWKI. An ounce of prevention is worth...

Well,,, maybe,,,, but im proud of my putter!!!

Just a pinch between the cheek and gum. I still pick up some Mail Pouch once in a while.

The reason i like it here is that i have no " young or old seasoned veterans " to try to gleem info from. It sure helps. Even when kopcicle goes into [dick mode] everyone has been pretty friendly.

Ive learned quite a bit here. But i end up scratching my head more thinking about whats next. This radio hobby is like golf to me. The more i think i got it the worse i am.

That 22mag shotshell is really impressive. I load up my single 6 with it .
