Okay, I am usually the silent type and mostly lurk around here but I've gotta respond to this. I have had a few radios in 37 years of hamming. And I've played with a whole lot at work (I am an electr
I had an Icom-765 for awhile which sported a very good receiver comlete with all the filters for cw work. It had the PBT and IF shift mods done as well. I sat it down beside the Omni 6+ and did some

Had my 425 to Ten Tec last week. LED failed (go figure how often that happens), everything else checked out fine. I asked the service manager about replacing the vacuum relay or at least buying a bac
I really love amateur radio. Been at it for over 35 years. Started out as a novice and have never fallen out of love with CW. I consider myself a casual CW DXer and contester. I also enjoy building m

Having been a ham for over 35 years, I will ignore this band as it is now proposed. I left crystal operation behind long ago as a novice in 1970 and do not intend to return to it now 33 years later.
I live in a suburban area surrounded by neighbors, not unlike probably most hams. At my QTH I deal with numerous unintentional emitters of rf that basically establishes a noise floor level for me. I
I don't usually say anything about issues like this but this time I will. I bought a new OMNI 6+ in 11-01, loaded with filters along with a power supply, desk mic, and later a matching speaker. The t
