I've always just salvaged them from old AM radios.

I agree. I'd love to take a vacation and go somewhere and do something but my rational nature says that staying home and away from other people is the smart thing to do. I can't afford to catch Covid-

I would love to, but with Covid-19 cases continually on the rise I don't think it's a good idea for us to get together. At least not without masks and plenty of hand sanitizer. But I still think that

If you remember the movie "The Longest Day" "Jean has a long mustache."

Part of the problem also was that the allies were using direct conversion receivers in their sets. For those who aren't aware, DC receivers tend to emit a heterodyne right on the frequency they're ope

If you really want to find skeeters, just come to my back yard.

When I was over there serving with the USAF, in the summer of 1993 we had the last Friendship Fete that I attended on our base since I left at the end of that summer. They had a TV detector van on dis

I'm so glad that if the internet goes down completely, those Nigerian princes will still be able to send me email!

I for one won't be shaking hands...

I plan on bringing the popup camper and using one of the regular camping sites. I don't know if they have electrical and water hookups near the pavilion, or if they'd allow a camper there. The wife an

Good article on 10m E-skip in the Banner. The idea of listening to the 28.200-.300 beacon band is a great idea to see when the band is open, as well as the popular 10-10 freq. I operate a 10m beacon o

I'm planning on taking my camper, so will get a regular spot.

Not yet but I plan to be there.

I heard someone working you today. When I heard them give that callsign, I immediately thought, "Hey, I know that call." I remember it from Ozarkcon.

I have two which I purchased at a hamfest a few years ago. They had a box full and were selling for $5 apiece. I probably should have grabbed more than just 2, but I didn't think I'd use them all.

Great news! I'm totally tired of winter.
