The more I dig, the more I uncover.

Drake RV-3 - Remote VFO.

exactly what's needed for the Central Electronics Lab rigs.

Hey, Todd! Great talking to you, too!

Yeah, it was a good trip, all in all.  Made Dayton, got to visit with 
Brett/N2DTS and all in all, enjoyed my 4,210 mile driving vacation.


The trip synopsis is...

The trip was uneventful, save for having to replace the back glass in 
the hatch on the Honda civic CRX.  A short-bed dump truck was going the 
opposite direction on a 2-lane road, and apparently a mini-twister 
grabbed the 75m ham stick antenna, and the tri-magnet mag-mount and 
twisted it loose from the top of the car.  When it got air-borne, 
naturally, towards the back of the car it went, until it hit the end of 
the coax... "WHAP! *BAM * /CRASH/ TINKLE, Tinkle tinkle..."  I Thought I 
had been shot at, or something.  The mount got free of the car, hit the 
end of the coax, bashed out the glass, broke free of the coax, bounced 
and rolled around on the highway, and slung off all of the magnets.  I 
found one magnet, and the 75m ham-stick, but the mount is probably still 
tumbling somewhere in a corn field near the Illinois/Indiana state line.


Got the back glass fixed in New Jersey (for about $800 less than what a 
glass place wanted in Indianapolis!), bought another tri-mag mag-mount 
at HRO in New Castle, Delaware, (on the way out of Jersey) but the 40m 
antenna refused to work, and I wasn't in the car at the right time for 
75m, so kinda gave up on HF mobile.


DID pick up a 10m/CB rig from Brett/N2DTS when I was in Jersey, but I 
never heard anyone on 10m.  Listened to lots of smokey reports on 27.185 
MHz, though :-)


So, the short summary of the trip was, drove from San Antonio to Dallas 
on Monday the 14th for an overnight visit, from Dallas to North Central 
Missouri, to visit some friends for 3 or 4 days, left that Friday 
morning for Dayton.  The glass got broke in Illinois, between MO and 
OH.  Left Dayton around 4pm Saturday afternoon and drove to Wheeling, 
WVA, stopped for the night there, then drove the next morning across PA 
(and the [EMAIL PROTECTED] turnpike - $16.75 from Washington, PA to Philly - highway 
robbery!  The turnpike opened in 1940.  Ain't it paid for, yet?) and 
made it to my New Jersey destination, Sunday evening.  Got the glass 
fixed in Jersey, and left there Thursday morning, rambling my way back 
to San Antonio.  Stopped in Willis, TX to climb a tower, and came on 
home Sunday afternoon. 


14 days on the road. 3 nights in a hotel, 2 nights in the car.

Re: [AMRadio] Drake RV-3 / trip

[Tom Chesek]

I have to laugh at you comments regarding the PA Turnpike. I'm a life-long
resident of PA and one thing that I know for sure is that the Turnpike is a
cash cow. It is self supporting with respect to the users paying for that
road. I too am dismayed when I use it even for short distances and what is
costs. I avoid it if possible but am glad to pay if it is an alternate route
around a major backup on the other interstate roads. The latest thing with
the PA Turnpike is that the Commonwealth of PA is considering selling or
leasing the Turnpike to private enterprise for the fast cash the can get to
meet today's overspending on everything else. Pretty soon we will have
Starbucks Kiosks in the State Capital Dome in order to turn a buck. All of
us have to live on what we earn but not government.

Sounds like you had a great and memorable trip. I'm jealous of your
magnificent road trip!

I'm living, Tom.  that's the short of it.  I don't mind flying, but I 
mind not seeing this country of ours.  MOST of the trip was done on 
rural roads/routes.  Brookfield, MO to Indianapolis, IN was done on 
hiway 36.  I think there was even some Route 66 tossed in there :-)  
Interstates are nice, but boring and predictable.  I -should- have taken 
the time to drive along Skyline Drive, starting in the Shenandoah 
Valley, down to Southern Virginia, but it was getting late, and I only 
got to Wytheville, VA as it was, before I stopped there for the night at 
a Motel6.  After a good breakfast early in the morning, back to the 
hotel to 'freshen up' with some "S"'s tossed in there (shower, shave, 
etc...) then back on the road.


Oh, really.. the purpose for this trip, along with visiting friends, 
Dayton, etc, was that this was the first 'road trip' in the CRX.  I'm 
proud ot say that on the highway, that thing -averages- 45mpg.  Readings 
were as low as 38mpg, but that was driving around town in New Jersey, to 
as high as 53mpg (and I -think- most of that was due to 'coasting' down 
some of the hills towards the East Coast, on the Turnpike, and down 
Higway 81 in Virgina, going downhill.


Save for the glass incident, the car did -wonderful-!

I did get a little misty-eyed driving back through East Tennessee... it 
hadn't been that long ago, I was there for the funeral of my fiancee'.  
I thought about stopping to see Dave/W4QCU, and I know I would have been 
welcomed in, as I have been before, but my heart just wasn't in it, when 
I passed exit 407 on I-40 (that's the road that goes to Pigeon 
Forge/Gatlinburg, where she lived).


I was so looking forward to moving my big rig, or building a new one to 
operate from East TN.


Scuze me... must be some heavy humidity outside...

go ahead, and tell me how there ain't no snakes on the Allegheny 
River... or any other river up there.  Brown Recluse spiders, raccoons, 
bears, coyote, fox...  Them's northern critters.


Well, we got raccoons down here, too.. along with spiders... and 
possibly a coyote or two... 

seems I've seen pictures of a tower somewhere that had a snake that 
draped itself in and around some rungs around the 6 to 8' level... and 
it weren't down here!

Well, it's known far and wide amongst us Southerners, that 
ya'll do have all 4 seasons in the north...


Almost winter
Winter
Still winter
Construction.

I took pictures of my 450-ohm ladder line with 1/4" of ice 
on it, because we just don't -get- ice storms down here.

Then how did your 450 ohm ladder line get 1/4" of ice on it?

[AMRadio] Yankees vs. Southerners

[rbethman]

This following clip is REALLY a hoot!
But, you have to agree that most of you Southerners stay indoors 
during the summer while we Yankees spend time outdoors without the 
fear of snakes and other wild critters.
Having been born in Illinois, spent quite a bit of time in Wisconsin, 
stationed in Pennsylvania, and have lived in Florida, Georgia and other 
locales, the 'purported' absence of snakes and critters in Yankee 
territory MUST come from someone in Suburbia and spends all the rest of 
the time in an office building!


Snakes are plentiful in Illinois, Wisconsin, AND Pennsylvania.  They 
AREN'T all non-poisonous either!  One is the timber rattlesnake.  The 
four-legged varieties include raccoons, Lynx, and the worst I've 
encountered is the Bobcat.  These are DEFINITELY in existence in these 
three states.


They have a bearing on Radio hobbyists.  Go out and string dipoles in 
wooded areas.  You'll eventually find them - IF - they don't find you 
first!  Learned in Illinois and Wisconsin to wear high top leather 
boots.  It reduces the chance that the fanged one will succeed!


I am now in Virginia.  Geoff may argue whether it's the South, BUT it 
was the capitol of the Confederacy.  We do NOT stay inside in the 
summer!  I take my telescopes out year round.  I carry a concealed 
handgun due to the 'critters'!  I'm NOT concerned over the two-legged ones.

We never get ice on our ladder line but do get a bit of ice on our "pretzel" 
when putting up antennas in the winter!

You can't be too careful when it comes to protecting your pretzel.

A friend of mine, Bob, moved to Norfolk/Virginia Beach area back in the 
mid/late 90's.  The locals told her "welcome to the South!"  She was 
'up' there, from South Texas, and therefore said "If I'm in the South, 
how come I had to drive NORTH to get here?"  ;-)


LOTS of 4-legged and slippery/slithery critters in most any place that 
has an 'outdoors' (away from the Megalopolis).


Lots of trees in Virginia to hang antennas with, though.  Watch that 
vine, though.. it -might- have fangs!

Hey Brian, 
I wonder about what it would cost for the carrier you used to transport that
thing to Dallas?  I can't afford it, I'm just curious.

[AMRadio] 20 Meter AM Lives

[Mike Duke, K5XU]

Approximately 30 minutes ago, I answered a cq from W8VYZ.

During our qso, I worked 2 stations near Pittsburgh, and one in Toronto. 
They could all hear me, but were all skipping over Mr. Bill.

So, activate those long idle 20 meter crystals, and generate some Angel 
Music.

Don't be bashful; I did this with my 25 watts and 3 element tri-bander.

I'm still also checking 15 and 10 meters whenever the SSB activity gets 
strong.

Was this on 14.286? It would be nice to have another 20m frequency in the
Extra/Advanced area.
