Re: [Elecraft] If you can't get a K3 second choice?

2008-01-04 Thread W4ABW
Maybe a used Yaesu/Ken or Icom. Don't trust the new Icom and Yaesu rigs.
The best rigs for the money are bought used or if it has to be new try 
TT,Elecraft or Flex.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: 50 years

2006-10-31 Thread W4ABW
Congrats to everybody who has achieved 50 years in Ham Radio. I am a bit  
short of that here.
 
In reading this thread I wondered if I could find out what source would  
contain the date a ham was first licensed ? I admit I do not know when I got my 
 
first ticket but it was 4 calls and 6 moves ago. HI ! Somewhere back in the  
early sixties, I believe.
 
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] QRP from the bottom of the Grand Canyon

2006-08-30 Thread W4ABW
I wonder if there are any hams in the People of the Blue-Green Water who  
live in the western area of Grand Canyon.
 
If so, they might have some experience in propagation from the remote  
bottoms of the Canyon.
 
I was there as a visitor many years ago and saw no antennas but things sure  
change even in such a remote spot as Havasupai.

Re: [Elecraft] wherefore art thou, K3? (style)

2006-08-28 Thread W4ABW
The K-3 ! How about that.
I see a more ergonomic styled Elecraft with enhanced meters and nice big  
knobs.
In kit form still but in a larger box to allow more room to populate the  
boards.
A style more in tune with the new Elecraft amplifier.
Perhaps a built in power supply as well.
 
Classic black in color, to match the new amp, for sure !

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Serial # 5600

2006-06-28 Thread W4ABW
I have often wondered if serial numbers on today's radios run  sequential.
 
Seems like they may skip numbers to make us think they sell more than they  
actually do.
 
I wonder mostly about the Ken,IC and Yaesu.

The shelter would be a good one to see. I would like to see how it compares

The Smoky Mountain National Park is tough. Its worth the pain though.  
Getting to Gatlinburg from Springer in 26 days is good time.
 
As they say .. if you don't walk in the rain, you won't get to Maine.
 
Many thru hikers on the trail this season.
 
Good luck to all the folks aspiring to walk the AT.
