Ham radios
Just bought a p/s for my ham shack, will be setting up my vintage 2m rig in there to start. Just got my General class license manual and am studying for an upgrade. Planning on getting an hf rig (my brother is considering selling me an older (vac tube finals) hf rig of his. Currently bidding on a shortwave radio to throw in in the meantime. My hamshack isn't really started yet, but pics will be forthcoming.
Anyone else here active in ham radio?

I am not that active currently, but I do still have a dual band rig in my pickup truck and one in the house. I have a pair of Yaesu FT-8800s. It is a fun hobby. Good luck on the Amateur Extra!

I took the class if you look up my name you'll see my letters or whatever. Besides that I've used it once, LOL.
There’s a promise I need you to make
While I’m gone you take care of the love
And I’ll deal with the hate.
Don’t worry about me; I’ll be all right
Just care for your children and sleep tight
I’ll keep you safe on my watch tonight

Sounds like we need to get you active too. I got license about 13 years ago, just finally trying to upgrade now. I used to be real active but for the last 6 years or so not so much. Now I'm getting interested again. Originally Posted by Autumn2009

I would like my country back. I used to believe that one man could never destroy this country. Not so sure anymore!
