Just to remind everybody... I have multiple commercial grade scanners and will scan any user manual and return it to the owner, making it available for others to use, no cost. Not that folks don't ha
Wede... Could you email me a copy when you finish, so I can add it to my collection ? Thanks. == K8JHR == Of course we all like nicer scans, but I hate to have someone do all that work. _____________
So... where would I get a preselector such as you mention ? Any one or more you recommend? Thanks. == K8JHR == Add a preselector to the OM7 and the problem goes away. That's why Ten-Tec provisioned t
can't recall seeing much evidence that anyone other than a salesman reads this reflector, let alone responds to it. In fact, I'm sure I could count such responses without taking my shoes off. ______
Well er... um... If the only current offerings are from MFJ, I'll take a pass. Years ago, a bunch of us SWLs on another list tried and tested the MFJ preselectors, and did a lot of marketing research
Golly, JB... your condescension is showing again... ;-) Some hams forget ham radio is merely a hobby, and not a career, for many of us lacking a proper engineering degree, and who pursued careers out

Stuart... a serious question here... Will all of that, especially the MESH system, work after a big EMI pulse type incident? If not, what would be the fallback plan? The local boys set up a similar s
She was our secret weapon on phone this year. -- HA ! Ain't dat da truth. One of the local rabble is married to another ham, and they work DX together. SHE calls CQ... K8JHR -- vv.
So I don't want to hear a lot of crap from guys who don't contribute a thing about how I need to slow down and mentor others. I do that, and I'd bet that I do at least 100 times more of it than thos
It is only a contest if you make it one. Each local group can set its own goals and define its own aspirations for Field Day. The ARRL offers up this definition. ARRL Field Day is not a fully adjudic
To do so, this means I'm calling CQ. In fact, I am only comfortable (and enjoy) operating in a contest if I can get a frequency and call CQ. If I have to operate only in search and pounce mode, then

Gee, Ken. Your rendition sounds credible and accurate - especially describing the ebb and flow of attendees - but I am surprised that some of the guys actually return for tear down. Their stock sure
Oops... I accidentally hit SEND before I finished this post, and before I could proof read it. Considering how long it is, I will just say, "sorry" and stand by. Trying to be helpful, I sometimes get
Ken's comments touch an important consideration for me. I am finally getting close to working CW on the air, but I have found precious few descriptions of how to play well on the air and I am very se
