My Ham Shack... Drake TR-4 for the low bands.. What a good rig... CW is my calling. My antennas are as follows; An inverted V for 75 and 40 meters with a tuner; a zep for good measure and a 20 meter beam 3 element.... On VHF I have a Yeasu FT-470 dual bander that allows me to access our local repeaters.
Both on the 440 side and on 2 meters.
This last year I have built a nice J-Pole for two meters.... I also have a Kenwood TS 7850 that I run in my van. I'm very active as ham. I have made a sub audible tone board that I have interfaced with my Kenwood so next time I get out in North Idaho or the Spokane area, I should be able to key up all of the repeater sites....73's
KE7MK
And if you are in to cross-band repeaters, I can help...
I am amazed how many steel players are involved with Ham Radio... Go figure.

Well...I hold a Technician's License. Operated Vioce on HF and on 2 MTRS. Some on 440 MHZ. Haven't been on the air for several years. I am suprised that Mike Sigler has not responded. He is an Amateur Radio Operator. I think he told me at one time that he is an Advanced or Extra.

My call is N7INV. I have been licenced since the mid-80's, but really got into the hobby in the last few years. I recently upgraded to General (it was a "paperwork upgrade" since my tech licence was so old).
Last fall, I bought an ICOM 718 and have really been enjoying the HF bands. I have been a SWL nut since the mid 70's. In fact, the SWL bug helped push me into the electrical engineering profession. At one time, I helped in developing state of the art radio receivers and radio ICs for Motorola.
Best Regards,
Sam |

AC5LS here, but not on the air lately - and it's worth noting I got my Extra ticket when the 20wpm code requirement was still in effect. And I'm damned proud of it.
However, why keep a couple of thousand dollars of equipment operative, when the same result can be had for essentially nothing via the internet? It's a science-fair project at best.
There doesn't seem to be much point in RF comms anymore in amateur radio, unless you're interested in moon-bounce, that kind of stuff. I'm not. |

| WT8E, been a ham for 29 years. During some of the conversations with pickers I would ofter ask about ham radio, the old reply was , "I have problems with tones, can't hear the code" My reply, "how do you tune your guitar" then I got the sheepish grin meaning I just didn't take time to learn Morse code. |

I worked with WAG4 I Gota Zoo,wag4igz, Built several Heathkits, testers. Also a RC Radio kit, worked very well.
CB radio was so popular we had several of the, SINGLE SIDE BAND, WITH HOME MADE QUAD ANTENA, made out of fishing poles, out talked many comercial made antenas. Good period of time in our lives, one of the things Nan shared with me.
I still have the sending key I practiced on back then out in the shop.

I majored three years in tech radio at Benson Polytechnic High School; class of 1954.
Back then, one had to be able to send and/or read like 20 or 60 words per minute in Morse Code. I can no longer recall this fine point. I even made my own
'sender thingie' or 'clicker' like in the olden days of telegraph.
I can fluently identify N -.; A .-; and V ...-
That should count for something, shouldn't it?
Does it? |
