I just checked it for 70 cm repeaters in New Jersey, and it only lists machines in the north and central part of the state, there are no listings for any repeaters in the southern counties of Cape May, Cumberland, Salem, Burlington, Camden, or Atlantic counties.....:thumbdown: If it's that...

I don't think it is 74IN, 14.290 Mhz is the frequency the OMISS group uses during their day time nets from Monday to Saturday, but the band has been so dead these last few months that I haven't even tried to join in on any of those nets. I've gone hours without hearing a net control operator...

The silent majority in this country needs to wake the hell up, start sounding off, and quit depending on Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck to voice their opposition to this systematic socializing of our great nation. These people on the far left of the democratic party seriously want to turn this...

I'm on one of those too......:bored: I had the TS-580 hybrid, but she just didn't want to perform for me. It had spent it's entire life in front of a heavy smoker, the whole radio was coated in nicotine. I contacted a couple different outfits that specialized in restoring the old Kenwood...

20 and 40 meters were hopping this afternoon. Of course the North American QSO Party had the bands jamming, plus the Light House crew was up and running today as well, but if you could get away from all the contest QRM, there were a few DX contacts to be had. I made 4 U.S. contacts, and 1...

An absolute legend in modern music, an incredible guitar player, inventor of one of the most famous model solid body electric guitars, and multi-track recording..... Les Paul passed away today at the age of 94, I never got the chance to see him perform live, but have heard a lot of his music...

Trying out my new Memorial salute to one of my music heros... Rest in Peace Les.....

We call the toilet paper at the Fire Station "200 grit wax paper"....... It's rough, and all it does is smear what you're wiping......:blink:

Codejockey.... Under any other circumstances I would say Icom all the way, but if this radio is going into an open top Jeep that will be hitting dusty trails, and get splashed or rained on, then I'd have to say the Yaesu FTM-10R all the way. Obviously D-Star is not a factor, and crossband...

Hitler was also the darling of the liberal socialist left when it came to "Gun Control"..... Here in the U.S. state wide gun control laws were conceived with a purely racist agenda.....(to take away the rights of freed Black people's to keep and bear arms out of fear they would rise up against...

That looks intense.....:thumbup1:

No despair here fella's.... Sometimes I enjoy just sitting back and listening to who and where the Dx station is hitting, besides the Cumberland County Skywarn net was about to begin, and I was prepared to check in with them and give a local conditions report. Come late fall / early winter...

My first time around with the code I had to learn it for my license. I did so on a Bencher iambic paddle connected to a cheap MFJ keyer that I eventually plugged into my 2510, and made a couple successful contacts in Poland and Russia. The one problem I had with learning on and using the iambic...

My last Dx contact was on June 2nd on 20 meters to South Germany, haven't hit a decent band opening since.... Finally today 20 meters showed a couple windows of opportunity, while twisting the big knob I heard a station from Italy calling CQ Dx North America, I responded and made contact with...

Sounds like you caught a band opening with some tropospheric ducting between Texas and Mississippi. Congrats on the first contact, I'm sure there'll be many more in your future....:thumbup1:

Hit the Mid-Atlantic D-Star net tonight....(Tuesdays at 7:30).... this one is a little more localized taking in different repeaters, hot spots, and Dongle check-in's from the Delaware, New Jersey, eastern PA, and the New York City region. This one is not as interesting as the Ozark Mountain...

I grew up watching the Monkeys, used to have an album or two from them way back then, they're long gone now.... Pretty cool Son Watcher, Davey is a pretty down to earth guy, Neismith on the other hand is somewhat arrogant......

Yes....was referring to charging the car battery with the power supply... Shack is in the garage, so the battery is too..... Will be getting one of those trickle chargers, we have them on our old M35 Mil. Surp. Storm trucks at the fire dept, these units we have came from NAPA, they only...

Last Friday we lost power for 4 hours due to a severe thunder storm, had to resort to finishing out the activated Skywarn net on a 5 watt HT which wasn't making the repeater full quieting. Got a 12 volt car battery under the bench now, ran a cable to where the 12 volt terminal block is located...

Checked into the Ozark Mountain D-Star net this evening.....(it's held every Sunday night starting at 9:00 pm Eastern time zone).... Quite interesting, the net control this evening was on a DV Dongle out of Texas, and several check-in's were coming in from Australia, with a few from Japan...
