I had better MRE meals in the Army.

There's a John Denver song "Late Night Radio" from his (I believe) Windsong album. I used to listen to that early Monday mornings on the three hour drive to the university after a weekend at my folk's place.

Lookong forward to logging a QSL with you!!!

looks great!

At the 2:20 mark you are standing at the beginning of skid row continue walking east on Washington Ave. That was all skid row. TH-cam still has old skid row videos of mpls and the bums cooking underneath the stone arch bridge along the river. And now there are pleasant hiking trails down there

I received a new IC7760 today from DXE Will unbox and get it on the air K0UO

Looks like a perfect day for a POTA activation!

I’ll be there, hope there’s good stuff this year, more stuff I don’t need

Looks spectacular, but does the the RF gain control work or is it a pile junk like the ic7300 that I have . The 7300 is very noisy and the rf gain control does nothing to to reduce rig noise ?

Cool, always been a goal of mine to work them, when get around to upgrading my license someday.

worked them today. were active on 21.290 15m new dxcc for me.

Milan Colby patron saint of ham radio !!. How did that come about. Just looked him up. The Catholic Church venerates him as the patron saint of amateur radio operators, drug addicts, political prisoners, families, journalists, and prisoners. If I pray to him will my 572B's last longer. Good grief. 🤪

That’s great sir

Thanks for all the comments! I'm defiantly going to revisit this in 2025!

Been there done that, up to 200 watts

Conect an 4:1 to a gutter short cable to a ground rod 4 feet cable to the balun, tunner and voila’

Happy New Year!!!!

Of course they don’t do parts anymore what the hell😮

Two speakers with a cd 💿 player

Need new stores 🏬 again

It’s not the same all on line that sucks🤕

It seems that Christmases past align in a lot of our lives with radios past, as the people who made an impact in our lives were often part of both. And quite often when it comes to radio, that was indeed an uncle. Their keys and microphones now silent, but always remembered. As far as the radio waves that they modulated themselves, who knows? Every Christmas they are one more light year away from the Earth, the ones that escaped the ionosphere as some certainly did, and theoretically: Someone could be still hearing those voices, the very ones that still play in our own heads! With my own kids and grandkids, it's quite a regret to me and sad that they will never have the opportunity to meet my own uncle. Or my grandparents for that matter. But as we make new memories with them at the table and around the Christmas tree, we must remember that they indeed are also making their own memories of Us! Merry Christmas to Ham radios everywhere, and Goodwill towards men. All the best! 73, DE W8LV BILL.

Facts man

What goodwill the fcc don’t care man the bands are are a mess people don’t follow nothing in part 97.

Merry Christmas! Great book recommendation.

I thought that was a dog with snow on his head 😄

There needs to be more Catholic ham stuff out there. Catholics can organize really well.

I did that many many years ago while living in San Antonio at an apartment complex!

If it weren’t for classic MN winters, then the whole world would want to move there!!

Morning sir, have to shovel

Lot of people give the ARRL a hard time, they do have some great resources

If you take the spherical earth and flatten it out, the sun side and the dark side of the earth make that wavy pattern.

Better have a bank roll penta labs been good and thier garentee for a year

Ill buy the ldg 49:1 if you still have it !

Be a ham radio operator. God wills it. Deus vult!

Very cool information, have a great day

I have an HQ-160 with a similar manual. They are similar in style and format to the old Heathkit manuals, where they thought everything through before putting it together to make a user's manual that included large, clear schematics with important voltage points listed, and a theory of operation of each circuit stage, plus a BOM that often included component source info and sometimes acceptable substitutions. Nowadays companies just tell a minimum wage intern to do a few screen-grabs of the touchscreen, with an arrow pointing to a knob and text in Chinese (that if you can get translated says 'KNOB',) and post them on the company website, leaving the hams themselves who bought the rigs to translate, reverse engineer everything, decompile code, figure it all out, fix the firmware and hardware bugs, embellish the firmware, create schematics, and block diagrams, create an organized list of commands and function buttons, and then play Elmer and post articles and TH-cam videos about it, all for free. No wonder they can sell an HT for $20. As for the HQ-160/170, I learned how to make all these adjustment subconsciously when I was a kid with a Hallicrafters SX-25 beneath my bed that I tuned by feel while lying in bed on cold winter nights. Pretty much the same controls and functions, just positioned differently.

One of the most common dreams is that this radio will work over the Internet. According to Icom, it will work with the base unit and control head on the same wired LAN. Icom also said that performance will be poor over WiFi. Don't expect Internet connectivity between the two; that's what RS-BA1 is designed to do. Yes, I hope to test it for myself and maybe prove Icom wrong, or right, whichever.

What is the title on the orange book? I'll check this movie out. Also what's the green book's title?

I use it all the time. Passport to World Band Radio guide is no more...N4TCM.

Naah! It can not cook coffee. 😉

bookmarked .

That is another HF radio for my bucket list . Great for a birthday present . 73 de N5MAR

if you put the radio gear on credit cards, that is unsecured Debt and nothing they can do if you default on it now is no time in history to be without needed things! And things are about to go F***ING sideways on us very shortly, so do what you gotta do!

A video on that would help many transition away from Redmond, should they wish.

Best time of year to see all the palwinders upside down on the highways.

Don't slip! -K0DRW

Great video! de W2CSI

Chirp that 'Feng up so you can check in with them. Also...those lozenges are awful - I tried them a long time ago, and they gave me heartburn from hell. Give Zyn a try.

Tnx, nice to dream. Ya know, you only live once. 73 de KT1R
