Others with their YeaComWood radios wonder why we are so passionate about our TenTec rigs. We can't understand why the others stick with their imposts. The above is one of the reasons we love our TT
(and edited quite a bit) "X10 powerline carrier transmissions are synchronized to the zero crossing point of the AC power line. The goal should be to transmit as close to the zero crossing point as p
This thought is very currious. Since I am one of the newer licensed hams (even tho I first studied code from an Ameco record!), all the question pools I have gone thru have a question to the affect o
Huh? At the 50w ERP level (referenced to a dipole driven with 50w PEP with a loss-less feed line) it would seem quite reasonable that few mobile antennas would come close to this power level - especi
What? You're not listening to the air traffic controllers to determine the time of landing for the Fed Ex plane? You should have signs posted all along the route so the Fed Ex driver can take the qui
Let's make sure we make amateur radio totally undesirable for anything new to the (hobby) service. If it isn't already invented and in common use then it should be totally unacceptable to us and the
Unlike me, some hams can actually use their TenTec rigs without a mike plugged in! My brother, KD7GT, bought an Omni-D from a 9-lander. The PTO had gotten stiff and the was the old timers excuse to b

Does anyone actually know this guy? Since s/he did not list their name, QTH or call sign I was suspicious; especially since I had recieved the following a while back. Seller beware? de KD4GT/EM74qa C
I am sure that if someone would forego their new Orion for an extra year and instead purchase a really nice top of the line Anritsu or HP for Zac & crew, the League would happily accept the donation
The ARRL Test procedure is available at: <http://www.arrl.org/members-only/prodrev/testproc.pdf> Yes - it is a "Members Only" page. It's a 159 page document in PDF form. No I have not tried to read t
Well, the discussion on this has died down a bit. I'm hoping that I'm in the same boat as many (translation: I hope I'm not the most ignorant on the reflector! ;-) and am trying to digest all of the
It's listed under the commercial products. I guess us hams don't buy test equipment unless its used at a hamfest??!!?? <http://www.tentec.com/TT651.htm> At $129 a copy, it seems like a real deal. At
I use a Samplex 1223 23a switcher and haven't noticed any hash. Of courst 99.44% of my operation takes place with a 526 & few switchers have hash that high. (I have other wierd birdies from outside i
Per part 97: (courtesy of my friendly OhOh) 97.201 Auxiliary Station says ok above 1.25 m freqs. Since it would be telemetry, the "codes and ciphers" does not hold. Just make sure you pick a clean fr
Ya know, just today I was feeling a bit poorly as I was driving along I-40 between I-75 and I-81. I felt it strongest right about state route 66. There was a slight (OK - a rather strong) pull to exi
