  1. Nice meeting you last night Steve and welcome aboard!! Jim
  2. Hi Michael and welcome aboard!!
  3. Hi Peter. Great to make your virtual acquaintance. Welcome aboard.
  4. Hi Ken. Welcome and glad the profile issue got sorted out. Again, anything you need, don't hesitate to reach out.
  5. If you owned one, you knew you had something special: https://www.collinsradio.org/cca-collins-historical-archives/the-equipment-of-collins-radio/the-grey-boxes/kwm-1/
  6. Welcome Dr. Gil!! Glad to have you aboard.
  7. @K3MZ @W4TG Any ideas Paul or Frank?
  8. Also Jack, THANK YOU for being the very first person to ever post a Talk in Ham Speakers!! Being first is always riskiest but also admittedly satisfying. TU. Jim.
  9. Hi Evan. Nice talking yesterday and welcome aboard! Jim
  10. Good morning Jack and welcome to Ham Community. Glad to have you onboard!
  11. As you think of how many IP addresses connect us all, look at this 1977 drawing of Arpanet. Nuts how far we've come. Not sure, but I wonder how classified this must've been once upon a day. You know, I wonder if there are any hams out there that worked for ARPA?
  12. Okay all, especially @WA2WMR and @KW4TO, what do you think? https://www.preppcomm.com They have two new products. Let's be clear, morse decoders are not new, but this one is! Overall thoughts? Philosophy? How about this one, worth the price?
  13. I have that radio 😉 I love that radio 😉 Mine's in the car. I regularly hit DX even while driving on the highway. Love it!! And I always get great audio reports.
  14. In a quiet cycle, CME tend to be weaker and rarer. Cycle 25 was supposed to be a weak one. Now, some have it being the biggest cycle since my birth year (highly classified year 😇 There are many articles on the new predictions for C25, here's one: https://ktar.com/story/4991047/hot-stuff-solar-cycle-no-25-increasing-with-flares-and-coronal-mass-ejections/ - there are others. At hamvention, there was an astrophysicist making the rounds saying that all the previous cycle 25 predictions were way off and that we should expect lots of instability. So to answer your question, the early part of C24 was, from memory, far quieter than this point in C25. But hey, when the bands 'are' open these days, they're wide open. I spoke to Qatar and Malta, from my Jeep, with my Yaesu 891, while driving back from North Carolina last month!!!
  15. Thanks for that Bob. I have several friends who have the 7100 including @W4DOI and @KW4TO. They both love it for its versatility and network capabilities. As for the 7300, I had one but sold it. To be frank, I find it's a fun rig, lots of fun, but it has its limitations, notably front end overloading in multi station environments. I still think it is absolutely worth its price and a great first rig, but someday you'll likely want to move to another platform. In the meantime... just: 👍
  16. Put a link to his YouTube channel here:
  17. Glad to have you aboard Joe!
  18. Lind, found this about the connection to a 706: maybe relevant: https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/wiring-d-104-hand-mike-to-icom-radio.16317/ And another: http://www.copperelectronics.com/discus4/messages/29/77689.html?1108406270
  19. First of all, thanks for posting the pic. Secondly, thanks for the thread hijack concern; I'm a hawk on that point. For this case, either works. If you just want to add a couple of posts on this kit, keep it here. If you'd like to take us down the entire journey from start to finish, feel free to start a new one. Building kits... the ultimate patience builder 🤬😤😫
  20. I meant an SWR meter. Just wondering if once you had it up you measured it? If you don't have one and you ever need to borrow...
  21. Okay, first of all... interesting. Secondly, time for some math. I can't right now, but I'm going to come back to this post, reread it six times, do the math, and see what I can glean... Quick question: did you run an analyzer at all?
  22. Just saw this shot of @WA8AHZ - Now I know who to call when I need a BBQ Capo.
