Glad to hear you survived the storm, let’s hope we don’t have another one for another 100 years.

I just about wore out my copies of Lou’s books reading and reading them. Very cool that you have/had a signed copy.

I built a vertical using bamboo pole with some 16 gage wire tye wrapped to the pole and a few(not enough) radials out of the same wire. Wasn’t much for working local but worked ok when the band opened up. It was cheap and it got me on the air.

I can’t imagine the pain of seeing that happen. I’ve had a few wire antennas get taken down because of ice but that’s nothing compared to your loss!

Congratulations, enjoy having more frequencies to chase dx

Break a leg!

Interesting, I wonder if they really replicate the sound quality of real tubes? Not that my ears could tell the difference.

Congratulations on passing your general. Have fun, hope to run across you on the bands some day. KU4MP

Congratulations. Hope to work on the air one day.

1. One of my uncles, bought me a set of single channel walkie talkies. 2. 1965 3. I don't remember the model of that walkie talkie, think it was a Hitachi but it was the first radio I every worked skip on.

Good to hear. Eddie, glad to know you're out of the hospital and hoping you have a quick recovery.

My Elmer had that same rig as he primary rig. He worked a lot of stations with tht rig.

I was on 17 today trying to work some POTA activators and heard some European stations trying to work the contest, guess they didn't get the word about which bands to use, or maybe there's another contest running this weekend?

I purchased one of those, works great except around 26-30 MHz. I'm getting what seems to be some kind of broadcast stations overloading the receiver when I connect it to my Windom antenna. Doesn't seem to happen if you use the little rabbit ears that came with the dongle. I'm guessing it's due...

I have RT Systems software for the 891, works great on Windows 10 & 11. It's much easier to program the memories and makes cloning to another 891 a breeze too.

Thanks for adding me to the roster , I forgot to include my name and location. Mark Evington, VA Thanks

I've had both, President McKinley hands down.

Thanks Brother DXer!
