Hi Gang just been looking at who was on line and saw a new member "yet another Radio Ham " i was just wondering how many of us follow the radio ham hobby as well .The reason i asked this is because some of the projects i have in mind are to do with bits and pieces for this hobby and certainly in my case it looks like hobby engineering and ham radio are at the point of being entwined with each other. 73 DE G6FOW -.- |

I am, but haven't been on the air for two or three years. I don't disclose too much on forums open for anyone to view, and I'm QTHR, so G1Bxx will have to suffice. Andy |

ZL2AYQ, have also been ZK1AS and ZK2AS. I still have the Kenwood TS520 plugged in and the sticks in the air but I have not turned it on for about 10 years. My main ham radio activity nowadays is going on expeditions in the JSAV (junk sale assault vehicle!). Hihi I wish I had the workshop I have now when I was really active on HF trying to make balanced HF tuning units etc. |

Been a Ham for a little over 25 years but haven't been active for the last five or so. Just an occasional VHF contact. I was an active mobile HF'er. One of my fondest memories was the time I visited the site where Marconi's first trans Atlantic contact was made in 1902. Not actually a contact as it was only the reception of the letter "S". It took four 250 ft. towers and a ton or more copper wire to capture that one letter! There is a small museum on the site. The site is in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada. A fellow Ham and I were able to make contact with a Ham in the UK on 15 meters from my mobile. I was using an Icom 735 at the time. Making and mounting mobile antennas was my specialty. I will post an example when I find time to take some pictures. The number one consideration was to install the antenna (as well as the transceiver) in such a way that it could be removed and leave no outward sign that they had ever been there. I am located in the tenth call area of the US which makes my call sign confusing when it is written (N0FNF). Most people take the second character as a letter not a number. Joe |
