Christian radio nets

Why do you think a hobby so rooted in technology is such a hot bed for Christianity? You can't look up HF nets without getting 100 or so hits for these people. That, or the hate groups that seem to…Continue

It's bad enough I have to deal with religious tracts in the subway, where I work, now I've received one as a QSL card! Guy takes a religious tract and puts his QSL info sticker on the back. I was…Continue

Comment by Scott Bidstrup on May 19, 2011 at 11:10pm: Yeah, sure, I'd like to get my hands on some of that gear. But mostly, I can't wait for the Rapture, because it means we'll finally be rid of those sactimonious, self-righteous sonsabitches. Any hell that Jesus has stored up for us in the post-Rapture era can't be any worse than putting up with their endless hypocritical moralizing and control freakery.

And as an added bonus - we get 75 meters back! With all that new gear to boot! Sounds like heaven to me!

Comment by Nils R. Bull Young on May 17, 2011 at 8:09am: Dayton Hamvention starts Friday, 20 May and runs through 22 May. Think of all the stuff we can loot up on come Sunday when the raptured have departed. And while I'm at it, what's the grid square of Heaven? Or Hell, for that matter?

Comment by Scott Bidstrup on May 8, 2011 at 7:04am: I haven't heard anything on that sked either, Huck. Dunno whazzup with that...

Kevin, I am a big fan of antenna modeling, too. Been using MultiNEC, which is kinda buggy, but is a modeler's dream - you can set up to three variables and then let it calculate a range of test cases for you. That is a FABULOUS tool - you can get to an optimum design pretty quickly that way. Too bad it is not being supported anymore.

Comment by Huck Keithline on May 7, 2011 at 9:57pm: Are the crazies still meeting on Friday evenings? Finally remembered to show up, but no one else did this time. SSB I assume?

Comment by Scott Bidstrup on April 2, 2011 at 10:42pm: 10 PM Eastern is a bit late for us old geezers. I'm in bed and cutting Zs by then. Might be more participation at an earlier hour. Or if it were every night. Or preferably both. That would give me a reason to put up a decent antenna for 75. Would certainly be better than listening to reactionary old pig farmers in Texas complaining endlessly about "godless Marxist-fascist queers."

Comment by Nils R. Bull Young on April 2, 2011 at 9:08pm: The usual gang of crazies showed up Friday night last, 10 p.m. Eastern. I keep thinking there could be more. 3.675 MHz. Every Friday.

Comment by Nils R. Bull Young on March 1, 2011 at 2:45pm: First off, do it. And you should have bought a transceiver kit. No, maybe not. If you're old enough to have a serious range of essential tremor things going on, building a kit -- any kit -- is sure to make any intervention group close up shop.

My wife leaves the house when I build things. Yeah, it's that bad.

Just do the test, get on the air and, since you don't need CW any more, advance through the ranks until you are schooled in all the mysteries. Even if you have to memorize the more commonly posed questions & hope that you make accurate guesses.

That's how I did it.

3s & good health!

Comment by coyote on February 9, 2010 at 7:22pm: I'm thinking of taking the technicians exam....I ordered a kit to build a 2 meter receiver.

Comment by Kevin Morgan on January 9, 2010 at 12:53pm: Giving a talk on Antenna Modeling this Sunday for Ham Radio University here on Long Island. Hope it goes well... How much can you cram into a 50 minute talk anyway?

Any of you guys fans of Antenna Modeling? I'm an EZNEC+ 5.0 user and really like the software.
