What do you like best about appliance operating?

All the crotchety old farts are either off somewhere beep-beep-beeping
away on CW or bitching to each other on the lower half of the 80m phone
band, so it's easy to avoid them and talk to someone who enjoys ham
radio as it is instead of whining about how it was.



Big Ten-Four on that Good Buddy.

It sounds like you run a lot of 11m, not surprising considering how much
you whine, and it's not alternator whine.



I only typed like because I knew you would understand that style of
communicating. So, after your license came in the mail what I appliance
did you decide to buy? MFJ? Alinco? Cobra?

Kenwood TS-820S. I got a good deal because it had a few bugs. I spent
some of the evenings between the exam session and my ticket arriving
(that would be my GENERAL ticket, I skipped Novice and Technician) going
through it cleaning switches, adding ground straps to a couple circuit
boards and adding 17m to the 'AUX' position on the band switch. By the
time my ticket arrived in the mail it was ready. I worked Clipperton
Island the second day I was on the air and didn't realize it was quite
the DX catch until months later.

So, after your license came in the mail what did you start weenie
whining about first?
