Amateur Radio

[greydigger]

Hi all,
Well I used to have ham plates (free in Oregon) but now have just regular ones to not encourage auto thieves.
I did want to tell other hams that I was one also.
Some pride there I know.
So I put in CW some black electrical tape an easy message for the knowing ones to read on the back of my auto.
Looks a bit strange but not really.

I love radio of all sorts! For years I was a radio disc jockey. I had an F.C.C. First Class Radiotelephone License and now a General Classs Radiotelephone License. Over the past 33 years, I have various C.B radios (Base & Moble) and run about 600 watts of power! In amatuer, I have a Kenwwod 215A, 2M, hand held. Also love using my two frequency scanners!

You're a comin in wall ta wall and tree top tall....Bullfrog!

You say you're runnin a 600 Watt hairdryer?

I was a CBer back in the "golden years." I still can hear that Browning Eagle mic squeak and picture the local police officer coming to follow up on a complaint from my neighbor for disrupting her FM radio listening. lol

My wife has a ham license and she's into it big time. We have a 2 meter rig running now.

She's constantly trying to get me into it. I would have loved it when I was young but now I mostly look for peace and quiet.

Have several cb's, and bought a old base station at a auction, don't know how to hook it up. The CB's I know what to do with. Need a repair on my old Galaxy CB Radio.

N1UOW (also known as N1 U Old Woman...the name given to me by my Elmer). Don't have any working equipment at this point, but I still keep up my license. Was on 2m in the Boston area and worked many years as communications at the Boston Marathon and other events.

I play w/ the spectrum quite a bit

Current EE student. Don't let it fool you. It's just 4 years of math & other theory.

Husband is an EE...he's the brain in the family! I'm the good looking one!

Ask him why a magnet works.

Because of the lines of force generated...a physical attraction.

Now, what do I win?

Nothing lol. I asked why, not how.

"A true "why" question will forever go unanswered. -We may have defined the speed of light to travel at C, but why does it travel at C is another question ...that can never be answered."

Magnets work "Because of the lines of force generated"

But why? No one knows. They just do.

Found a few bottles over the weekend! Going to make a few educational wadio displays

Hot glue is coming off as soon as the lacquer has cured. Can anyone recommend an alternative to seal up the coil? I have quite a bit of resin left over, both poly & epoxy, but I'm worried the methyl ethyl ketone peroxide will eat the enamel off the magnet wire?
