Yes, indeed. Is that how you highly technical CW ops handle it? Heck no! We install plug couplers on everything. that may need disconnection. Also use different couplers for different applications to avoid destructive mistakes. At N2EY this past FD, the only tools needed for the entire setup and takedown we Slingshot/spinning reel antenna launcher Pocketknife to cut line and electrical tape Hammer to drive the ground rod and tent stakes Screwdriver to tighten the clamp on the groundrod. Wingnut on the groundrod will eliminate the screwdriver next time. 12 hours to set up, 2 to tear down! Amazing what you can do when gravity is working in your favor rather than against you, isn't it? Yup. That wire that took six shots with a slingshot to get over just the right tree branch comes down on the *first* try when you cut the rope, almost as if by magic! SIX SHOTS? First time I used the slingshot launcher, and it only took me two. Ahh, Jim. Just wait till the next time. First time I used a slingshot it was easy. Most times since then have been pretty comical. - Mike KB3EIA - |

writes: Don't hold your breath, Mike. I'm not sure I've ever seen that Larry has met a chall....sched yet. Kim: I "challenge" you to a schedule on 20-meter PSK-31. Put up or shut up! BTW -- I know you're a Tech, so simply have your OM (a General) serve as control op! Perfectly legal Third-Party operation. The ball is in YOUR court now -- so no excuses! You started this, now show us all that you have any credibility whatsoever. If you squirm out of this QSO challenge, you will forever be self-nullified in this NG. 73 de Larry, K3LT Hmmm, so far, not a peep out of Kim! I hope it's because she's busily preparing her PSK-31 station for our QSO! 73 de Larry, K3LT Larry, that's the first time I've ever seen that challenge. I've seen the thread, but could not find the original challenge to know what it was. I actually thought it was something Steve had said. I don't care to meet your challenge, Larry, and I am not the one who has solicited challenges in the past. As I understand it, by looking here only, I've never seen anyone say that their challenge to you (mostly on a CW sched) was ever realized. Kim: Scroll up. You're the one who said you've never seen that I had met a chall[enge] or a sked. So I offered one. If you refuse my challenge for a PSK-31 sked, then you've gotta do the right thing and take back what you said about me. However, as usual, I'm not holding my breath. Oh, and the PSK-31 station is established (when the radio would be set back up), because my hubby really likes that mode. So, what's the problem? I can get my station set back up in 10 minutes. However, for your convenience, I'll leave my challenge open indefinitely. 73 de Larry, K3LT |

John: Yes, that's right. And the reason it's "going away" is because of all the "whining" done by the NCTA over the years. or chooses not to control by virtue of the personal effort or expense involved. The "whining" is usually directed at a person or organization the "whiner" considers to be responsible for the situation to which the "whiner" objects. ...such as NCTAs who have the unmitigated audacity to express their opinion on the subject? An "opinion," I might add, which has no basis in any actual operational or regulatory necessity in the AMATEUR radio service. I will admit that most mature, hard-working, industrious and ingenious people definitely "don't want to hear" whining. Who does? People like Kim, Brian, Carl, Bill, yourself, etc. etc… For example, I certainly didn't appreciate being accused of being like Hitler, As an aside to this topic, does anyone know for sure whether ol' Adolph knew Morse code? Just curious... I've never heard anything about whether he did or not, but I'm sure that if he did, the NCTA would swoon in ecstasy! and in favor of things like "ethnic cleansing" because I supported the concept of code testing in the ARS. I truly could have done without hearing that, to be sure! Well, I haven't seen you post anything suggesting that no-code hams be rounded up and sent to concentration camps or anything like that...not yet anyway...so I guess I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. :-) Oh, thank you! Despite all the shrill, uncontrolled complaints - on both sides of the issue - the international requirement is no more. The testing requirement in the USA probably will follow suit sooner or later. Hmmm...maybe it *is* an ethnic thing: Does red whine or white whine go best with crow? I dunno. I've always said that the code testing requirement would go away, so I guess the first thing you'd have to do is find someone with a crow in his freezer, and ask him which whine he plans to have with it when he decides to thaw it out, roast it, and serve it for dinner. For one thing, it quite possibly could have spared me the time I've spent on Usenet in the last 14 years. Now there's a shrill, uncontrolled complaint if I ever heard one. Whatever you say, John. 73 de Larry, K3LT |
