Here it is the weekend and there's some contest going on and there is

more SSB in the CW portion of the band then there is SSB in the SSB
portion of the band. What gives with this?

It's the CQ WW SSB WPX contest weekend and all hell has broken loose
worldwide. It'll go away at zero Zulu Sunday nite. In the meanwhile go
diddle on 30M to get away from 'em.

On HF I'm a 99% CW operator, only been licensed about a year and love

CW, don't care much for SSB. But I'm starting to wonder why I paid
$1800 for a Yaesu FT-1000Mk V Field as it looks like I won't be able
to
use it for what I bought it for this weekend...

Help

The Field comes with factory-supplied 250 & 500 Hz filters of unknown
parentage. You should be able to cut down the SSB sigs to something
close to a survivable level with either. Maybe. But I dunno. I've never
listened with a Field. But for certain they're not the best filters out
there by any means. Click into:

For some really good CW filters for your Field. The 400 Hz 703-C is a
good compromise between "SSB crud reduction" and missing ops calling
you. I have it's equivalent in my little $1,250 FT-847 crapper and it
WORKs. Take it to the next level and get yourself one of INRAD's 250 Hz
704-C filters. Might be a bit too narrow though. To each their own.

You're new and in the right direction. Stick with it George, you're on
a very steep slope of a learning curve (assuming you're not just
another troll of course). It'll all come together eventually.

It may be even more of shock that ham radio operators are important
in their eyes only. Ham radio has been irrelevant for years, hams just
have not realized it yet, and probably never will.

"How come the young kids aren't coming into ham radio anymore."?
duhhhhhhhh, anyone hear about Advanced Technology?

For much of the rest of the world, 40 meters is 7.000 to 7.100.

It may come as a shock to you but there are other places in the world
where
there are amateur radio operators and their bands do not always match up
with ours -- 40 is a good example.

If Phil is a Ham I'll bet he will be the first on the air when the disaster
hits his area.
His silly phone and internet of "Advanced Technology" will be deader than a

You have the same level of comprehension skill as Hans. Kindly point out
where I mentioned *phone and internet* in my posting? Then again,
nevermind, it is beyond you.

Well sir in Southern California, in the last year or so, we have trained
about 30 school kids who obtained their license.
Donations have been made to set up complete Ham stations at the schools.
In our repeater club there are well over 75 members age 25 and below.
At our field day, we had two troops of boy scouts who got on the radio.
Several went on to get a license.
Ditto for the JOTA day (if you know what that is)
The kids loved PSK31 - no internet they asked.

How many youths have you trained ???

Well sir when theSAN DIEGO COUNTY was ON FI
CEDAR FIRE LARGEST IN STATE HISTORY
16 dead, 2,342 single family dwellings & 383,657 acres burned
I repeat 16 dead, 2,342 single family dwellings & 383,657 acres burned
It was a disaster of unimagined proportions.

I can assure you that Amateur Radio was quite relevant -- to the tune
of over 500 Amateurs participating. Won accolades from local officials and
the media.

Are you a member of ARES or RACES ?

Are you prepared for the BIG one that will surely come your way?

Well are you?

When the cell phones are out, telephone lines are toast, power is
lost, you will wish you had a battery operated mountain top repeater. Ours
was on battery power or portable generator power for 3 days after the
commercial power was lost.

Do you support such a repeater, are you even a Ham?

Support Amateur Radio or rely on your silly phone - the choice is
yours.

You need to do some research before you blather out this stereotype
nonsense.
