Thanks, Jim. I sent an e-mail to Stan and he answered quickly. Order in progress! Mike, I did not see any dust covers from Rose, other than Elecraft, on her website. 73 de Jim - AD6CW
Curt, I'd suggest that you check out the archives of this list, and also those of the Eagle group on YahooGroups. There were a number of A/B/C comparisons between the Eagle and K3, as well as the TS-
Or, try having full privileges as a General (circa 1966) and have some of those privileges taken away by Incentive Licensing. I did upgrade to Advanced fairly soon but was mainly a CW operator, so th
I maintained air traffic control radar systems when I was in the Air Force in the 70s. The scope was our #1 troubleshooting tool. Due to the issues with timing and short-duration pulses, there was si
Interesting, Steve! Your memory is much better than mine, since I don't even remember the name of the building-inside-a-hangar where the radar classes were held. My first assignment after tech school
This is not a knock on your literary content, guys. Many mailing lists are configured to reject messages sent with HTML, as they can contain some nasty surprises. Some of the e-mail clients that I've
I agree, Ed. You'd be surprised at how many guys get upset when I ask for their callsign. Isn't that the very first part of the exchange in most QSOs? There should be a place on the membership applic
Sadly, when QST and other magazines get to be about six months old, they go in the blue bin. Years ago, when I was more active in the local club, members would drop off their copies, especially after
As they became available, I ordered the CDs with five years of QST in each set, beginning with 1960-64; about the time that I first became interested in ham radio. To be honest, they have sat on the

Okay - you reminded me of something that I need to do right away - switch the remaining issues of the CQ subscription to digital. How did you manage to do the conversion to PDF? I thought that was on
Love it! My wife would gladly do the yard work, but she's allergic to almost everything of a botanical nature. Seeing that riding lawnmower reminds me of the time that my father-in-law thought he was
That's fine, Rick, if you already have Adobe Acrobat. The best price I can find on Amazon is about $110, for a student/instructor edition of Acrobat Professional. Going to the full blown product is a
Thanks, Ron! I'll check into it. 73 de Jim It doesn't do everything the full blown Acrobat does, but it comes very close, and the price is right! 73, ron w3wn
Thanks for the explanation, Rick. Yes, hard drives do fail eventually, probably sooner than the media on a CD or DVD becomes unreadable. However, from my years of experience in IT, no backup system i
Okay, guys - enough! This thread was useful until it degraded into politics and name-calling, neither of which are welcome on this list. FWIW - most list owners recommend trimming replies so that eno
Jean Paul, it is acceptable to discuss any Ten-Tec item here on this list. While there are specialized groups on Yahoo for the Omni VII, Orion and Eagle, this is the generalized Ten-Tec list. Selling
As far as other old/collectible radios, especially those from the vacuum-tube era, that discussion might be better taken to a list that is specialized in that area. Old Ten-Tec radios, no problem. Ov
