Um, yeah, people can be annoying on their cellphones, but I'm wondering how many 911 calls this asshat prevented. :pop:

Oh, I agree, HRD has developed into a bit of a monster to run on older hardware.

This was originally posted in the SoCal HAM section of this forum, but I'd thought I'd repost it here for entertainment value, so that others can chime in. Apparently the people that recorded this video didn't get the memo on what high powered radio transmissions can do to their bodies when...

I know, right? :headbang If a person wants wants to get some work done, for the cost of parts only, then they need to either do it themselves, or find a friend to do it for them for free. If you're dealing with a business, then you're dealing with employees. These employees don't work for...

I'm taking you at your word that this dongle can't be run on a Mac natively (my initial searching also suggests that you can't, at least not through the manufacturer's software). I'm also assuming that returning the device in lieu of getting one that's Mac-compatible is also not an option for...

I hate to break it to you, but that extra $90 was what they charged you for labor. I'm not going to argue about whether or not that's fair, but why did you agree to the charge if you thought it unfair? :oops:

Galaxy 739? Is that a typo? I can't find it anywhere. All things aside, you're overdriving your amplifier. Lower your dead-key to under 2 watts, probably more like 1 watt.

You have a credit card that you didn't apply for? If that's true, my guess is that some identity thief accidentally used your address instead of his/her own when applying in your name. No, getting your radio license isn't the reason you're getting these phone calls and emails. My guess is...

All things being equal, they'll work out about the same. However, it one were strung horizontally, it would be better suited for DX, while the vertically strung would be better for local.

Could we see an "after" photo where there's a flash-bulb visible on the face of the radio, like the "before" photo you've shown? I don't mean to be a pain, but it's hard to evaluate the results of your two photos when they were both taken under different angles and under different light conditions.

I guess I have two questions on this one: What is this "apparent lighting device" they mention (they don't clarify that)? Was this "lighting device" legally purchased from a brick-and-mortar store? Isn't a $16,000 per day fine a bit (okay, very much) excessive? I can understand the...

They may be ugly, but I'll bet they give great "helmet."

I'm pretty sure it just replays old shortwave broadcasts of Radio Moscow, but don't quote me on that. :(

It's too bad that the Amateur Radio participants of the 117th Boston Marathon (last year) weren't reporting on the egregious 4th Amendment violations being imposed on Bostonians by their militaristic, neo-fascist "peace" officers, as they imposed illegal, "no-knock" warrants on Boston's...

I'm not sure what you mean by an unapproved visitor message, but I'm pretty sure you can get rid of it by simply disconnecting your means of outside communication, like closing your doors, closing your windows, disconnecting and powering down your phones, internet devices, etc. All kidding...

And, in other news, Lieutenant Obvious just got promoted to Captain. Thanks for the heads-up. ;)

Ninety percent of your neighborhood was recently, and very legitimately, diagnosed with advance glaucoma and you need to just accept it and move on. :tt2: Pay no attention to the potheads behind the curtain. :w00t:

Was the pharmacy closed today? :biggrin:

You totally lost me on that reference. :confused1:

Seven pages (and counting) on the topic of 73? You guys have gone all sixes and sevens. :w00t:
