@cber8860 hey sorry for the delay, well for 2 meter my first base antenna was a diamond cp22e there around $50.00 plus shiping bought from r andl electronics in hamliton ohio, just sold it 2 weeks ago at louisa ky ham fest for $25.00 still worked well i have a jetstream jtb-1 now they are around $ 100.00 at rand l, thanks and take care, 73's kj4aqv
I love that radio you must have a good antenna up to be able to hit that one repeater on only 10 watts in its that noise I do 65 because on the other end if you get a report back it might be way to much noise please use a lot more power
but never use more then need people if they say go ahead in use 65 do but don't talk for hours at 65
that's kinda weird, it would be considered impolite even though that how they put it in the books and tests....i dunno, guess some areas just dont like it.
Yeah, kind of a misnomer. Ahh, there are a few machines up in the tri-state metro (Huntington, Ashland, & Ironton) that don't even encourage operators outside of their "little circle", yet publish their information in the directories.
thats cool man year i got to talk on a repeater in dayton ohio which is over 125 miles north of me one morning real early the vid may be on here 73's

epic 147.165+, i can hear that repeater from my roof antenna, but my HT antenna is on the north side. if i go outback it works great.
yea i guess dayton seems to be the meca of ham radio for some odd reason.

i hate that animated shit...its sooo annoying!

well, it was just more easy to say my call that i was monitoring than to say cq cq cq it sounds like you are calling a contest.
hamtalker2007 2 years ago
out of curiosity why do you say your call and "monitoring" rather than calling cq cq cq followed by your call?
cllewis1 2 years ago
Because, On repeaters in Northeastern Kentucky, calling CQ is frowned upon and considered impolite.
