Praying that he gets 100% cleared and gets to come home soon.

Great picture! So very good to see you brother. Sure wish I could have been there with y'all.

I agree! FT8 is like Farmville for Amateur Radio! I have zero interest in having my computer use up any amount of bandwidth on the Amateur bands just to talk to another computer often without the presence of an operator. That is my personal opinion. Greg KT4RAM

I heard you somewhere after 9 am. Tried to get back to you and heard you asking for the station trying to call (it was me) but conditions changed that quick. Good to hear your voice though brother. Email me anytime. I'm good on QRZ. Have a safe and blessed weekend brother. Greg

I recently upgraded from my FT-991A to the FTdx10 and both are excellent radios. The FTDX10 has the best selectivity and filtering that I have ever experienced. I love this rig! At 60 my eyes are no longer the super vision that they used to be so the external monitor is excellent and having a...

Yup....but it's got to charge up the atmosphere so we get cycle 25 to be a great cycle. It's still early in the cycle so fingers crossed . As for me, I'm willing to sacrifice a few wasted days in order for it to kickstart this party Enjoy this weekend.

Finally the numbers climb over 100 today. Keep it going Mr. Sun

It was very reasonable in my opinion. I went ahead and had him replace all 4 MRF 150 FET's since he already had to replace 1. I am not certain if we are permitted to link to websites but if you want to look him up go to his website at ctrengineeringinc.com and look under Ameritron (and other)...

I do not have an 811 amp but I wouldn't ignore a good offer on one in good condition. I have the Ameritron ALS-600 SS Amp. I needed some work done on it and decided to send it to the man that played a major part of the designs of the Amertron Amps Tom W8JI (before a lot of the sloppy assembly...

Some people ask me similar questions about why I have firearms or why do I need a hemi. A: Because I can Glad you are happy with yours. 73

Cool I'm back! Thanks!

Today 27 February 2021 I was granted my new vanity call sign KT4RAM and it showed up on the database where I was able to print my FCC Reference Copy of my new license. Now checking the database again my original call KO4LYF is showing as Canceled due to my Vanity call being granted yet my new...

My official call posted yesterday afternoon KO4LYF and made my first contact today on 40m (7.197) with a special event station K4DSR aboard the USS Alabama Battleship in Mobile Bay AL. I was hoping to have my first contact with my big brother of years ago (Gary/BJ Radionut W9FNB) but couldn't...

Congrats! I was listening to him this morning earlier before I went to get round 2 of the Covid vaccine. Nice signal.

The DXE-WA-135 will not be in stock until after April 21, 2021. They sure do put a high value on their 1:1 Balun! I think that I will build my own. I do have a question about that balun. Of all the videos that I have viewed on building baluns, they use enamel-coated wire. DX Eng uses a...

Thanks Gary! I'll check them out for sure. Tall trees you say? Well, I have a few here, well over two dozen or more mostly very old southern live oaks a few tall magnolias, and some tall pines. (if you look at the overhead of our property you can see there are a handful of trees to choose from...

Thanks Gary. After buying a new rig my money was running out so I had to get what I could afford for now. The 60' tower will be approx 5' outside of where my radios will be. Too bad that Bamboo doesn't make for good antennas ... I have a lot of it that is approx 20' tall. ;) The Tram antenna...

FedEx just dropped off my 500" Spool of Double Shielded RG8X and my Tram Model 1481 Dual-band Base Antenna (It's the17ft Base Antenna, 8dB 144MHz/11dB 440) Believe it or not, I found the best price on the Antenna online at Staples and I had over $25 in Staples credits bringing the price down...
