The late Durward Tucker,W5VU, built that transmitter, but KD5OEI is the
ham who owns it now. He is the guy who owns the Bunker of Doom website.

I realize that some people have already conquered the Apachie and are on to fry 
bigger fish (You'd better have a strong back!) but it seems to me that this 
reflector is just the place for sharing experiences regarding Apachie repair, 
even if somewhat redundant. Some of us haven't been there yet. Put the posts up 
for all of us. It's more interesting than reading complaints about the ARRL.

Re: [AMRadio] Effort afoot to "reclaim" 3600-3700 CW subband

2009-01-08 Thread QED Consultants
Hi Don: what does he even mean by these percentages? if he would treat cw at 
abt 500 cycles then there is almost no cw use. I have been running at or 
below 3.7 for weeks, last night I could not find a spot from 3675  to 3710 
called cq on 3725and a guy on ssb came back and commented how good the audio 
sounded, he said it sounded as good as AM. I told him to put the rx on AM 
and have a good laugh.  I think I will start dropping down to the 3650 to 
3675 range. Bernie

2009-01-08 Thread Mike Sawyer
And his complaint is??? He doesn't have a leg to stand on. He can 
complain that nobody is using that portion of the band for phone, but then 
what is his problem? Realistically, he can go up and operate at 3890 or 
anywhere else phone is permitted. I don't think there exist a sub-band where 
phone is permitted but CW is not.
Let him whine.

Re: [AMRadio] WABOOF - Good News on HAM RADIO

2009-01-08 Thread robertcharles






I know I cut my teeth doing SWL Listening in the mid 60's and Popular Electronics got me started on that. So I would send QSL cards to the station and they would QSL me back, and boy was that exciting! Then a friend down the block, said his father was a ham and could help me get a license and that started the flames that are still lit today. True, it would be more difficult for a SWL listener whom didn't have a carrier insert feature on their radios to hear hams today to receive SSB. But now, based on what I read in QST this month, BPL is being installed in many states, which does not interfere with the ham bands however wipes out the Short Wave bands.

To me, what really counts is hams who gain HF privileges, and who might 
potentially become AM'ers.  I doubt that would be of interest to many of the 
shack-on-a-belt wannabe cops the the least bit.  But maybe a few will become 
curious enough to listen to what's on HF.  There certainly isn't anything 
much on shortwave to attract SWL's any more.

Once upon a time most new hams who didn't happen to have a personal mentor, 
first got exposed to radio by listening to foreign broadcasts on AM radios 
that also included a couple of shortwave bands, and ran across hams 
conversing on AM phone. When most hams converted to SSB, we lost that 
avenue, and CB became the new gateway.  Now  that interest in CB has about 
fizzled, what do we have left?
