I've been busy with work this week and haven't had time for my 2 cents worth on sota/radios/etc. But generally speaking, anything N1EU says on the subject I would take as gud as gold. I was pulled ki

In recent years, in addition to Ten Tec's service department, I have sometimes used Triad Electronic Supply in Winston Salem for equipment repairs. Mike/N4VE is the owner. His technician, Keith, has

My experience was similar. About 3 years' ago, I had to replace the top yagi on my tower. I decided to go with the HY-GAIN LongJohn 15m yagi. Since I already had 2 of the older HY-GAINS on the tower,
How does the kool-aid taste? Being a New York Upstater I feel compelled to comment. These so-called business appreciated states based on taxes miss the boat from a citizen perspective - quality of li
Mike is right. I'll repeat what I said the other night: These are 2 great companies, combining them gives even greater potential. The problem is demographics. The FCC database may say ham radio is as
