I love that deep, almost multi dimensional sound of a quiet band on the 736r, or the gentle whistle of a -3db tropo signal. I've been told it does not preform well in high RF environments, but I acti
And jeez you forgot my favorite, promote the Ham Radio Hobby! I have even brushed up on my foreign language skills so I can try to communicate what I'm doing with the locals when I rove during VHF co
Amen Tree, Jim, Warren etc, what do you guys have against roving? Why are you constantly trying to destroy one of the most enjoyable aspects of my HOBBY. What you may not realize is all this rover ba
Concerned no, mindful yes. It's an optical illusion. I appears that they're almost touching but in reality they are heading up and away from the antenna, plenty of clearance. Sure does make a mess on

If you take a peek at the subject line, it is about using existing commercial equipment on 222.100. Last I checked that's where I contest on the 220 band. Pretty valuable information for folks wantin
Well, I was on from 7:15-10:00 or so. I haven't operated a home station for many years. I've moved a couple of times to apartments that didn't allow antennae structures or were just plain old too muc

I do share my contact information, with the people that need it. It's called a QSL card. Many operators in this area have one of mine. You could get some too if you helped promote activity on the VHF
But who is to blame? The rover that operates within the rules of the contest and the FCC or the operator that knows there are contacts to be made by using equipment capable of making these contacts.
