17SCORE = 11 US, 8 THEM
by bikerchic ini added up all the imediate members of my family who have left the b'org and more have left then remain.
this was promped by a conversation i had lastnight with my son who told me about a jw kid from his past got in contact with him out of the blue and she was telling him how many in her family were now df'ed and never planning on returning.
we were really surprised because she was an elder's daughter and one of the last people you would think would leave.. so what is your family score?

got your pm happy dad and replied. you just never know who the hams are until you pull up in front of their house and see the array of antennas or the tower out back.
i'm working on the tower thingy......
thats why i keep dropping these little tid bits here. lots of new people on th board and why not enjoy a nice qso with an exjw using their favorite hobby?
i'm not up on all the new amatuer stuf, hd.....so all i can say is, look around and see what you think is best.

elsewhere:
CQ means "Calling any station" in the earlt days of radio, morse code was THE only means...and it was much easier to build your own equipment, for just doing morse code. voise is another story. so to save keying the whole phrase "Calling any station" a shorts word structure was developed. letters instaead of words and phrases. its so common now that any ham who hears them knows what they are, even though with todays technoligy, computers can do the code better faster and easier than ever.
Atilla,actually, other than the sight of the antenna, a properly run, tuned station will cause no interference with tv's and other electronics. even running up to the radio's maximum capability of 200 watts, i don't disturb anyone. and the antenna is in a good spot. its really not in anyons way, view or anything. of course most of the time we run as low power as possible, enough to make the contact. allot of guys like to run "qrp" very low power, typically under 5 watts. their signal can be heard across the globe, under the right ionsphereic conditions.

I can't sleep :S
by Elsewhere ini've never experienced insomnia before in my life.
lately i've been waking up around three or four in the morning and staying awake for several hours before going back to sleep shortly before my alarm goes off.. this is driving me nuts!
i normally wake up feeling refreshed, but now i'm dragging myself out of bed and going through the day feeling sleepy.

fmz,
i didn't notice the db ratings but one reason i can think of as to why it might be only 3bd gain is that it is a multi band antenna. from what i remember it covers 10-80 meters. thats allot to ask an antenna to cover. therefore the 3 traps you see on it. i'd do better with a beem, but i don't have a tower (yet) to put it on
can't wait to fire this rig into it and see who i catch......

i wonder if its something in the water?
i woke at 2am and couldn't sleep either.
i took the opportunity to put my cushcraft r7000 antenna together. had to clean up the joints and check all the tightness of every nut bolt and screw.
its going up this weekend.
i'll be able to radiate a signal clear across the planet. on less power than it takes to light a light bulb.
