  1. Re:World record transmission on Ham Operator Sets New Miles-Per-Watt World Record · · Score: 1

    Hell a thousand feet IS huge and 2x10^3 is even biggerer! The only way I could do sush a thing would be to find the loading wire "sweet spot" on the Verrazano Bridge here in Bay Ridge and to call in a b0mb scaire to reduce the automotive electrical noise. I'm sorry "y'all" : I simply don't have the real estate nor do I even have a neighbor who's cow electrical fence I can temporarily cut and hook up an aligator clip to with a remotely adjusted, earthed 200-4k resistor for my [Dr.] Beverage antenna. I hate my co-op. I hope all of you realize most of this ultra-weak signal work done by hams is via sound card software at this point. We are not using headphones. EME [earth-moon-earth] work [geek city] has been done this way for a while now. You know you are an ubergeek when you buy the chassis of a '49 Buick just to rotate your gigantic antenna system out from a circular roadbed. A cool guy buys it to restore a car. Also: I am not responsible for all those stray cows. EOF. Not my page: http://web.wt.net/~w5un/primer.htm

    50,000 Quatloos for the newcomer! I be new here myself. Tony WW2W in ye goode old Breukelen, New Amsterdam. I just joined 1/10/05. Oh no, does this count as blogging too? I tinker with knoppix and I use my brother's 8" Meade Cassegrian upstate when I go QRP camping near Woodstock NY. I just bought an HT-37 Hallicrafter phase SSB 80lb 1959 Xmitter. I have a small collection of nomographs and a 1965 slide ruler. The instruction booklet refers to "the computer" as the person handling the ruler. Help. [should I be spinning my propeller?] In the mid 80s I spent 2 years restoring a 57chevy, replacing/rebuilding the srt6 engine myself. Female hams that happen to be at hamfests are usually there with there ham dads recoiling away from the overly weird ones. They look both bored and wary. Yes HAMS do live up to their name. How I managed to stay under 200 pounds wilst being convinced that "doughnuts" replaces 3 major food groups is beyond me. I am still the wirey guy on field day that does all the work while all the Charlie Browns all point up. Here is the web space I designed for our ham club. For a living I am a dental technician - I design and fabricate dental cast frameworks and I own my own lab that is doing well for a year out. I need more time to geek out: lately I work too much. http://www.qsl.net/kcrc VY 73 ALL DE TONY WW2W NYC "Smell'ya later!" - as The Prince of Belair says. hi hi
