Once again, brian, M3OSN, Old Man, you arrive out-of-the-blue with completely false gratuitous abuse, but not contributing anything technical. Why do you behave in such a childish manner? Is it today because of your recent faux pas about Maxwell's Equations? |

As there is zero advantage to interacting with an ASCII based application, i.e. USENET, with a GUI and I often find myself somewhere where my only connection is via a crappy VPN where a GUI is dog slow, ASCII is the prefered method for me. I suppose you still use a BC-610 on HF, also. I did start out with a one tube, xtal transmitter and ARC-5 receiver, but the current HF gear is: TS-440 on semi-permanent loan to a new ham TS-870 currently on backup status TS-2000X main rig -- Jim Pennino |

But I do build my own antennas for the most part and they work exactly as predicted before building. Jim, Evans has owned or owns a raft of commercial radios, inc: FT101, F7?7, FT221, FT817.... he has bought homebrew equipment made by others but, as for actually building radios, it seems to be vapour ware. This is all supported by his own posts. He couldn't use the 101 due to not having the manual, or some pages to be exact, so wasn't able to tune the PA. Hard to believe I know but you can check the archive. I concider the choice of build versus buy to be based on price and performance criteria. For ham radio specifically, the cost to build a modern DSP based radio would far execeed the cost of just buying one, even neglecting the time it would take, not to mention the test equipment required to align and calibrate it. For antennas it is not quite as clear cut as sometimes the antenna I want is not available commercially and/or the raw material costs in small quantities is in the ball park of buying commercial. As for airplanes, the airplane I would like to have is simply not available as anything but a kit or used and I will not fly used kit airplane unless I know a LOT about who built it.

Hard to believe I know but you can check the archive. That's not true, as you well know. I chose not to tune it without the manual as when I obtained it, it was in pristine condition desite being 30 years old. I had plenty of previous experience in tuning other TXs, starting with the KW2000E that G3UOE had in my time there. Why do you spend to much time in originating abusive material? Why not contribute your technical expertise, such as your knowledge of Maxwell's Equations? No reason why a real radio amateur, a home brewer, should not also pick up old rigs out of interest. |

I did get a bit of right seat time in a Piper Seneca 6, however. A nice handling plane! Also some right seat in a Bonanza, but wasn't as impressed. Short story - I got my ticket in a Cherokee 140. Shortly after that, I moved. When I checked out at the new FBO, they told me I could check out in another 140 and be able to fly that, or in a Warrior and be able to fly both. Of course I took the latter (only about $10/hr difference back in the 70's). My first landing I set it up just as I would a 140 to touch down on the numbers - not thinking about the longer wingspan. All I'll say is I'm glad I was on a runway for commercial jets. That damn plane floated at 2' agl fir well over a thousand feed :) Seems a lightly loaded warrior suffers from a lot of ground effect! -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry, AI0K ================== |
