Agreed....I like the Tashjian towers more anyways. With the lack of customer service/support with US Towers, I don't see why more hams move that direction. However, they (Tashjian) sure seems to igno
Good points Jim. I may also add that a lot of us (including myself, at times) are spoiled. We clickety click click on line, and two days later a product is in our mailbox. We no longer realize how th
Wow! http://www.hamradio.com/search.cfm A TX-455, the light duty crank up, is $8k!! I wonder if any of this is due to new California and/or federal gov't regulations? Maybe the same thing is going to
Ten minutes huh? I want to see that. Send me a video. Chris KF7P Chris, I used to do it for a living. I was certified to weld just about anything anywhere, except underwater. They are NOT a start up.
