Re: Newbie Tech looking for some help setting u
Have you tried the "chirp" program? I downloaded a copy to my laptop, connected the USB cable and got ALL the memory channels filled. The Baofeng is hard to hand load.

Good Morning Everyone
I have decided to sell my Kenwood TS2000 Mobile rig. It is in great shape and fully operational. I am also adding a Signalink USB Sound card interface as a bundle.
I am going to offer this to the group for $800 ... I believe that is quite a good deal. This is the same radio I had set up once at a GOTW get-together.
Here are? couple of pictures.
Thanks and 73 ... Conrad K1EC

Check out the details and construction here: If you have any experience with this type of HF antenna, please share your experiences. There is a link to a JAVA based C-Pole calculator at the bottom of the HB9MTN page or here:
Thanks, Kieth -

??? When were you there last?
??? There was only one HF beam there when I

There used to be a ham radio station at the old base hospital at
then-Williams AFB.
Last time I was there, there were giant HF beams outside.
Does anyone know the current status?

My brother was W7WKM over 50 years ago and he had ham plates.

However, you had to have a 7 in your call.

I had ham plates with my old call - N7AOU - back when only truck plates started with N. I got stopped a few times.

I even had my call sign in the telephone book! - Amateur Radio Station N7AOU.
