long time suggested that anything over 70/80' was overkill. That really surprised me. As a novice, I simply thought the higher the better, period. (except for eskip on 6) The immediate property I'm

Does anyone know if there are some VHF/UHF nets on the HF bands? Seems like I read that there are one or two-- published in QST a while back, but lost track of that issue. Thanks for any info. Jason

It seems to me that each of these captive rovers are manned by one or more people. You would think that these people were enjoying themselves, or they would not waste a weekend driving around to work

Ah - I remember that rule. I think perhaps I was on the CAC when it was adopted. It was a tough rule to write - how do you enforce it? The intent of the rule was to prevent such a thing from happeni

I deal with DC/DC converters on the job on a regular basis. You can go to any of the big electronics suppliers (Newark, Allied Electronics) and buy DC/DC converter modules that take a 12V input and p

Will be heading up to Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Lousiana this coming Saturday morning. Starting out from my home QTH in EL29, then through EM30 and into EM31 for the destination.

I have a handicapped ham who is wanting to get on 2m SSB. He's financially strapped where ham radio is concerned (aren't we all!!). He said he could spend around $250 to $300. He'd like a 2m SSB rig

Rusty, I doubt you will find another power supply that has the successful, combined-operating hours as the Astrons. You mentioned a 25A-- consider the 35A version. I have been using 2m SSB rigs + the

Todd, I have had a 790 and my Dad has an IC-910H. Both radios have great attributes. Obviously the 910 is newer with all the gadgetry that comes along with being a Y2K+ rig. I must say after having a
