How often - how many hours a week you actually have your receivers on
AND monitoring?


I ask because since I've had my Hammarlund HQ 129X/ Heathkit Q
Multiplier and the add on freq counter back - I have ran it basically
non stop with the exception of two days while I was gone.


Do any of you guys keep a specific receiver on all the time when you
have left the house or sleeping with your recorder going in hopes of
a
catch or am I the only retarded one?bowing head


I have 3 HF radios on 24/7, two of them are connected to the internet
for monitoring from anywhere. I would not leave a tube radio on 24/7,
due to the waste of electricity in keeping the cathodes boiling.
