Last few days have been dead here, Occasionally, DX will roll in, then disappear. Not many locals in this area, a couple old timers and that's about it, and there's another guy 20 miles north of here, about my age. A few guys up north of here in the big city of Paducah, that mostly hang out on 26.875. A few more old timers down in Paris, TN. Very few people on the air in my coverage area.
There's a CB shop not too far from here, but there are no skilled techs around that I know of, so if your gear needs serviced, you have to ship it off somewhere.
Once in awhile, the DX rolls pretty good on 17, but as soon as you start making good contacts, and get a ragchew going, every lowlife under the sun, comes on with their 20KW egos, and their big mouths, and ruin it for everyone.
I'm ~100 miles away from Murray, KY. Probably too far tho, maybe if you had a beam on the flat side to match my setup or I orientate my beam vertical, which I have been wanting to do, we could qso but Idk. As far as techs, there is one in Holladay, TN on Hwy 641 about 60 miles south of Murray. Everyone says he's a good tech and a nice man, but I've never met him. Between here and there, many golden screwdrivers exist, so be careful.
 
Had the Ranger on channel 19 tonight for about 20 minutes, listening to all the accidents happening around my area due to a mini snow storm hitting tonight and tomorrow up here in Central PA, hope everyone has a good night and God Bless!!

    Good day, I have an Icom IC910H radio. I want to program a memory with split frequency tone on TX only and NO tone on RX,. Is this possible to do from the face of the radio? I don't have the interface to connect to a computer.

    @Deon very unlikely to get a response here. You are better off starting a thread on the topic.
