    DX locations

    Usually wherever mother nature dictates for that particular moment at your particular location. The only rule of thumb I can offer is to be as far away from noisy sources like power lines, neon signs, etc., as you can be.

    Any Computer Savvy Members?

    It's telling you to replace your hard drive because your hard drive is going Tango Uniform (tits up). This a hardware failure -- all the virus/malware scans in the world won't fix the fact that your hardware is failing. :wink:

    Amp with Batteries in it?

    Did you mean your "other" left? I'm confused. ;)

    If today was your last day on Earth....

    I try to live every day as if it were my last. Like a lot of people, I have a "bucket list" and I try my best to check off items on that to-do list as I can. Other than that, I try to deal with people in my life as best I can. In other words, I try to live my life under the context of, "if I...

    I've worked the world on 100 watts (or less)!!!!

    Well, mother nature seems to dictate who I can -- and who I can't -- work a lot of times. I've worked Hawaii, Alaska, and Germany while barefoot. At the same time, I've failed to work someone as close as Texas with "shoes on" when I can hear him. Maybe I'm missing the point of this post. I'm...

    On Monday I was not unwell, today I'm moderately neat-o, and I ought to be just peachy on Friday.

    What is your favorite recue story?

    This is my rescue story. I adopted her two weeks ago... I know this isn't exactly what the OP was looking for, but she and my family absolutely love each other to death, and we look forward to many years of happiness, now that we've been blessed to have her in our lives. :thumbup:

    Where to purchase braided ground strap?

    Ace Hardware, Home Depot, and Lowes also carries it in case you have one in your local area and want to save a few dollars on shipping costs.

    This is still, hands down, the funniest post I've read all month, because I'm just old enough to remember those old Folgers ads. :wink: And I'm not ashamed to admit that I sprayed my drink all over my monitor when I first read it. :laugh:

    ^^^^^^^^^ What he just said... You have to re-calibrate your initial SWR tuning when there's a change, whether it be you power level, frequency, whatever.

    Just added a RTL2832U dongle to the FT-950

    Thank you very much for posting this. I was planning on using the IF-2000 hardware and panadapter in the future, but after seeing your post and checking out the installation instructions for the dongle here I'll be glad to save a lot of money going forward.:thumbup1:

    Cobra 2000 GTL clock keeps resetting

    Sounds to me like your CB has been hanging around with the wrong crowd: namely, those hippy long-haired VCRs in your house (we all know about their tenancy to sleep in all day and blink "12:00"). Tell your CB to get off the couch, get a job, and stop hanging out on the street corner with...
