Any Radio Amateurs Here?

[Lewis1]

Hey guys, im a radio amateur myself, i was just wondering are there any other hams here at this forum?

[BuzWeaver]

KB4IUB here, though I’m not much of a Ham, never really was. My Father is the real Ham. I took the Ham mainly because my Father was the one who gave the test for our State. I save a few bucks on my Vehicle Tag tax with an FCC License.

My 85 year old dad is a ham, but inactive for some time, due to Ahlzeimer's. It's sad, as we really had a father-son thing going with the radio for so many years, when I was a kid. His call is K5UGL & he lives at Comanche, Texas.

73's,

Tony

[bartony]

Glad to, Lewis and glad to meet you too! I wished I'd have gotten my ticket way back there, and they say it's easier than ever now. For now, I call getting on here and forum boards my "hamming".:D

I lived in Potters BAr for a few years. Enjoyed the RSGB open days. Boy did they have a big array they hopped on up at Brookmans Park.

[Lewis1]

Cool :D I know some people who have been to them, never managed to get there myself, but im young n got my whole life to yet :D I go to some Radio Rallies now and then :)

[bartony]

Boy, I have some memories of going to those swap meets, as we called them, with my dad! All kinds of radios, of course, back then, tube types, and they all weighed a ton! My dad had an old Heathkit DX-100 xmtr, and I know why they called it "100", it weighed about 100 lbs., or so it seemed. Oh, for the good old days!;)

[The Dude]

The conditions on 11Meters is getting better!!!!

The last few days i have talked to Georgia,Illinios,etc..........

Now that we are over the LOWEST SPOT ON THE SUNSPOT CYCLE,we will probably see a return to good propagation on all bands!!!!
