While I pretty much know what direction I want to go as I get back into VHF/UHF, I still will welcome any comments as to the direction I will finally take. The list will appear starting tomorrow.

I have decided what I’m going to do about getting into VHF/UHF. After spending the better part of 2 years, it’s about time I made a move. I have to kick myself for having sold a handheld I found in my office closet. Even though it was not new, according to the ham I sold [...]

Here it is, as I promised, a picture of KI7UP’s Ham Shack misses the computer. I removed it because it never worked with the radio, so what is the point of having it, taking up space and using electricity. I am on a use less power kick to boot. No question I have room to [...]

I have made some changes to my Ham Shack. To me, Amateur Radio is using a radio. With this in mind, I have removed the computer that I had linked to my ICOM 707 HF base station. There is no question that having a computer to help with the operation of a radio, can add [...]
