You're correct about him having every right to be on that plane. Someone in CS management made a very very bad decision that day and UA will literally pay for it. In my time as an airline operations manager I had to make those kinds of decisions daily. That UA flight was not overbooked until...

Congratulation and a new General at that!

I think pin 3 should be the shield and 4 is red. Here's what I found. Big T 1- audio 2 - ground 3- common 4 - ptt Mic audio - white (1) ground - black (2) common - shield (3) ptt - red (4)

492/f is correct for calculating the 1/2 wave length of an antanns in free space but since our signals travel througth wire or other solid metal like a whip we use 468/f to build antennas. I supose the same theory applies to 1/4 verticals as well. I suppose if you use a superconductor for the...

What formula are you using to come up with 108.2677" ? I use the standard 234/freq to calculate 1/4 wave verticals. That's gives 103.3" for 27.185 MHz. The last two stainless whips I found at a ham fest were not quite 98" tall and worked perfectly on 10 meters with no trimming required. I...

I agree, it's only been 13 years :)

Age? You mean Radio Shack isn't still selling 102" white fiberglass whips? :)

Very popular in the 70's and I always had one on my car. A 1968 Plymouth Fury III with a big old chrome bumper and chain mount for the whip.. Car's haven't had bumpers like that for a long long time.

Honestly at the last place I lived I had 2 75 ft. runs of plain old RG8X buried in the yard. One in PVC that filled with water and the other directly in the ground. When I pulled it all out when we moved in 2015 neither had water incursion. Go figure. I was just tossing out the Davis as an...

I know everyone seems to use LMR400 but I went with Davis RF Bury-Flex low loss. It's direct bury coax similar to LMR400 and at 200 ft. loss is about 2.2db. I ran about 125 feet to my antenna switch. Dug a shallow ditch and pushed it into the ground - very easy and much easier that burying...

Why did they leave out the unicorns?

Those microphones aren't designed to sound nice and have a wide freq response, they are designed to pass the most effective voice frequencies for readable radio communications.

Which is 3,536 ounces. At the current price per oz. of gold that puppy is worth $4,424,144 :eek:

FYI - this is a 10 year old post. The OP and other person you replied to haven't been on the forum in years,

I need 1 minute shipping because when I need something I need it now. ;)

Note to self - Vodka and forums don't mix :)

I watched a documentary on FL's invasive species. A lot of those critters are the "behind the counter" deals at the reptile shows and what people smuggle into the state. The warn year round weather means once a invasive creepy crawly gets loose they can thrive. If there's a pair - they breed...

There is a cobra on the loose. They say that anyone spotting the beast should keep a safe distance and notify the FWC. If I ran across that snake the irresponsible owner would have a hard time identifying it's parts. :)...

Comes in gold too.
