Hams?

Are there any other Hams in this forum? I see lots of cards and characters, but I was curious if there are any crossbow shooting Hams. KE7CNR (Amateur Radio) 73’s

Im in the process of becoming one. I've got a Kenwood 820S and put in a 1/4 wavelength long wire. Still need to put up my Gegi. I just listen right now but will go and get certified sometime in the next couple of months. I don't know how well my unit will reach out west or east of me as I have my wire strung out for a north/south beam. What LSB channel do you usually broadcast on?

Not a broadcaster, but I've got a nice shortwave reciever.

An early welcome to the Bands to you, lots of fun ahead. I am a tech class and do most of my work on 2 meters and some 440. I do have an HF rig but not the class to use it yet, that is in the future also. The group I hunt with all got their ticket for communicating while in the woods. It’s great to be able to call your hunting partners hundreds of miles away, as compared to two or three mile limit of FRS or GMRS. Last year I got a call from one of my buds, he had located two separate herds of Elk. He gave me the coordinates over the air. That day my son and I loaded up and moved our camp ninety miles north and hunted both the herds the next day, we didn’t score an Elk but did get into them. This area of North Idaho and Eastern Washington are well saturated with some very good repeater systems, there are very few areas not covered. I did expect to see more than one Ham on the forum, even with this modern day math one is still more than zero. Again, welcome to the Bands. Tom AKA SEEELK

Retiring from Ten Tec , Inc this coming Friday Jan 4th, 2008

Now I won't have to answer questions on repair of Ham Rigs over the telephone and by E-Mail. I never was a Ham but I was in commercial broadcasting since I was 23. I've been here @ Ten Tec (the only American made ham gear still on the market) for aver 10.5 years. I never needed another hobby besides Hunting. Maybe next season I can put more time into it. I repaired and tested Corsair models and built and tested the Linear Amplifiers. Yea Freedom next week.
